Our dear master Ayatollah “Qazwini” is here and we’re going to continue last nights’ discussions regarding of the birth of Prophet [PBUH] and Imam “Sadiq” [AS], hello dear master.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
I express my most sincere greeting to all dear and venerable viewers and wish them success and congratulate days of the birth of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] the Prophet of grace and Imam “Sadiq” [AS] the publisher of the sciences of the dynasty of Muhammad [PBUH].
Presenter:
Thank you. Dear viewers if you remember, we talked about the bright personality of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] from 12 Rabi’ al-Awwal. {Third month in Islamic calendar}
Last night we made a deal to talk about bright position of Imam “Sadiq” [AS]. Last night’s discussion remained unfinished and we’re going to continue conversation.
Ayatollah “Qazwini:
We said issues in this regard and discussed the sayings of Sunni elders about Imam “Sadiq” [AS] in which they had praised and glorified him. These issues show that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] was accepted by all people. He had made solidarity. He had four thousand disciples including Shia, Sunni and Zeidi. This issue is the best reason that proves that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] was the flag holder of unity and kindness in Islamic nation.
“Ibn Taymiyyah Harani” who has left no stone unturned to find fault with the narratives related to “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS] and has deep enmity towards them, says in “Minhaj al-Sunnah”:
«فَإِنَّ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يجِئْ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلُهُ»«وَقَدْ أَخَذَ الْعِلْمَ عَنْهُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَئِمَّةُ»«کمَالِک، وَابْنِ عُيينَةَ، وَشُعْبَةَ، وَالثَّوْرِي، وَابْنِ جُرَيجٍ، وَيحْيي بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، وَأَمْثَالِهِمْ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْمَشَاهِيرِ الْأَعْيانِ»
After Imam “Sadiq” No one like him has come. Our elders and Imams were his disciples, Sunni well-Known scholars such as: “Malik”, “Ibn Uyinah”, “Shu’bah”, “Thawri”, “IbnJurayj”, “Yahya ibn Sa’id” and guys like them were his disciples.
“Ibn Taymiyyah” – Minhaj al-Sunnah – vol. 4, p 126
If like some of our extremists Imam Sadiq [AS] were supposed to insult “Sahaba” these guys wouldn’t become his disciples
If we want Shia and Sunni to listen to “Imam “Sadiq” [AS], “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS] and commander of the faithful Ali [AS], we should follow Imam “Sadiq” [AS]’s manners.
“Mr. Al-Dhahabi” says in “Siyar A’lam al-Nubala”, vol. 6, p 257 that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says to his disciples:
«سلوني قبل أن تفقدوني فإنه لا يحدثکم أحد بعدي بمثل حديثي»
Ask me anything that you like before losing me; because after me no one will explain Hadiths to you like this.
This issue isn’t for Shias, because after Imam “Sadiq” [AS], Shias had Imam “Kazim” [AS] and Imam “Reza” [AS] and also other Shia Imams [AS].
This issue is for Sunni elders; because political situation of that time wouldn’t let that people use the sayings of Imam “Kazim” [AS], Imam “Reza” [AS] and Imam “Jawad” [AS].
Because of the conflict between “Banu Umayya”, tree cursed in Quran and “Banu Abbas” evil tree, golden opportunity was created for Imam “Baqir” [AS] and Imam “Sadiq” [AS] to establish Islamic university and they could teach prominent disciples.
Four thousand disciples were trained in Imam “Sadiq” [AS]’s doctrine. “Hasan ibn Wusha’” says: I saw that nine hundred Muftis are sitting in “Kufa” mosque;
«کلَّهم يقولون: حدّثني جعفر بن محمّد»
“Tazkirah al-A’yan” – author: Sheikh “Subhani” – p 344
And there is also a narrative from Imam “Sadiq” [AS] written in “Al-Kafi” book:
«وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّی لَأَعْلَمُ کتَابَ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَی آخِرِهِ کأَنَّهُ فِی کفِّی فِیهِ خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ وَ خَبَرُ الْأَرْضِ وَ خَبَرُ مَا کانَ وَ خَبَرُ مَا هُوَ کائِنٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِیهِ تِبْیانُ کلِّ شَیء»
Swear by god! I know god’s book {Quran} more than all of you, from its beginning to the end, I know all sciences of Quran like palm of my hand, news of heaven and ground is there, news of ancestors and posterity is there.
“Kulayni” – Al-Kafi – vol. 1, p 229
These issues show that because of the solidarity that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] had made in Islamic society, figures such as: “Abu Hanifeh”, “Malik”, “ Shu’bah”, Thawri”, Ibn Juraij” and “Yahya ibn Sa’id” would attend Imam “Sadiq” [AS]’s lesson sessions.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] would tell them: you can’t find like sciences that you learn from me in other places, if you go to the east and west of the world, you can’t find any science similar to sciences in our heart.
Late Allameh “Majlesi” quotes from Imam “Sadiq” [AS] in “Bihar al-Anwar” book, vol. 2, p 94:
«کلُّ مَا لَمْ یخْرُجْ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَیتِ فَهُوَ بَاطِل»
And there is also a narrative from Imam “Sadiq” [AS] written in “Kafi” book about “Salamah ibn Kuhail” and “Hakam ibn Utaybah” which are amongst Sunni prominent figures. “Ibn Hajar Asqalani” writes about “Salamah ibn Kuhail” in “Tahzib al-Tahzib” book, vol. 4, p 137:
«سلمة بن کهیل وکان رکنا من الأرکان»
“Salamah ibn Kuhail” is one of the pillars of Sunni.
He also says about “Hakam ibn Utaybah”:
«رأیت الحکم فی مسجد الخیف وعلماء الناس عیال علیه»«قال بن عیینة ما کان بالکوفة بعد إبراهیم والشعبی مثل الحکم»
“Ibn Uyaynah” says: after “Abraham” and “Shu’bi”, I didn’t see anyone like “Hakam ibn Utaybah” in “Mecca”.
“Ibn Hajar Asqalani” – Tahzib al-Tahzib – vol. 2, p 373
These are amongst Sunni prominent scholars, it’s written “Al-Kafi” book:
«قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ لِسَلَمَةَ بْنِ کهَیلٍ وَ الْحَکمِ بْنِ عُتَیبَةَ شَرِّقَا وَ غَرِّبَا فَلَا تَجِدَانِ عِلْماً صَحِیحاً إِلَّا شَیئاً خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیتِ»
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] said to “Salamah ibn Kuhayl and Hakam ibn Utaybah”, if you go to the east and west of the world you can’t find right science unless in the heart of us “Ahl al-Bayt”.
“Kulayni” – “Al-Kafi”- vol. 1, p 399
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] also says:
«فَلْیشَرِّقِ الْحَکمُ وَ لْیغَرِّبْ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا یصِیبُ الْعِلْمَ إِلَّا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَیتٍ نَزَلَ عَلَیهِمْ جَبْرَئِیل»
If you travel to the east and west of the world, swear by god! You won’t find real Islam unless from “Ahl al-Bayt” who “Gabriel” was sent down to them.
“Kulayni” – “Al-Kafi” – vol. 1, p 400
These narratives show that knowledge of Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has root in resource and revelation. His gotten knowledge from his father, grandfather, commander of the faithful [AS] and Prophet Muhammad [PBUH].
The knowledge of these holy lights return to Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], the one that Quran says about him:
(وَ ما ینْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوی إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ وَحْی یوحی)
Nor does he speak out of desire, Indeed it is not except a Revelation which is revealed.
Sura An-Najm – verses 3 – 4
Despite all this, Imam “Sadiq” [AS] would keep Sunnis’ rights. I’ve quoted these narratives for dears several times that all of them know them by their heart. Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says:
«اقْرَأْ عَلَی مَنْ تَرَی أَنَّهُ یطِیعُنِی مِنْهُمْ وَ یأْخُذُ بِقَوْلِی السَّلَامَ وَ أُوصِیکم» «صِلُوا عَشَائِرَکم» «وَ اشْهَدُوا جَنَائِزَهُم» «وَ عُودُوا مَرْضَاهُم» «قِیلَ هَذَا جَعْفَرِی فَیسُرُّنِی ذَلِک وَ یدْخُلُ عَلَی مِنْهُ السُّرُورُ وَ قِیلَ هَذَا أَدَبُ جَعْفَر» «وَ إِذَا کانَ عَلَی غَیرِ ذَلِک دَخَلَ عَلَی بَلَاؤُهُ وَ عَارُه»
Remember me to those who accept me and listen to me and tell them to say prayer behind Sunni {as leader of mass prayer} and attend their funeral procession and visit their patients then they will say that this person has been raised in Imam “Sadiq” [AS]’s doctrine and it makes me happy.
“Kulayni” – Al-Kafi – vol. 2, p 636
Nowadays, impoliteness of guys such as: “Yasir al-Habib” who is English corrupted Shia or corrupted “Al-Hyari”, “F.B.I” factor will cause the destruction of Sunnis’ beliefs towards Shia and Sunnis will chalk their insults towards Sunni up to Shia sect.
This guy claims I’m the only resource which can be acceptable!! When terrorists took “Mosul”, and killed many Sunni scholars including the leader of their Friday prayer and when they massacred one thousand students, they didn’t get upset at all but when “Aleppo” was retaken and people celebrated these guys mourned {got so upset} the reason of their sadness is that America government is mad at this event.
The “Tasannun” of these guys is American “Tasannun” and are trying to promote it. Unfortunately some guys within our country are negligent towards these issues and ignore the facts. If facts are clarified, situation will change completely.
Several days ago a dear from “Sanandaj” {city in Iran} called and said: “If it were not for your disclosure against “Daesh” and facts that you say, I’d be in “Syria” fighting alongside “Daesh”!!
Increasing insight and clarifying facts have always been amongst tasks of “Velayat” global channel, our “Maraji’ taqlid” {In Shia Islam, marjaʿ (Plural: marājiʿ), also known as a marjaʿ taqlīdī or marjaʿ dīnī ), literally means "source to imitate/follow" or "religious reference", is a label provided to the highest level Shia authority, a Grand Ayatollah with the authority to make legal} have always ordered people to unity {between Shi and Sunni} and have avoided people insulting Sunni, as Grand Ayatollah “Sistani” says:
«لا تقولوا اخواننا أهل السنة، بل قولوا أنفسنا أهل السنة»
Not only Wahhabis don’t quote the sayings of Shia “Maraji’ Taqlid” about Sunnis, but they deny their sayings and claim that they haven’t said such things about them.
Mr. brainless “Aqil” claims that Imam “Khomeini” has said such things in his books, why doesn’t “united nation” take an act? If “united nation” were to take action, they should do so for Fatwas of “Ibn Taymiyyah” who says that all Muslims including “Hanafi”, “Hanbali”, “Maliki” are infidel and must be punished by death.
God willing I’ll talk about Takfiri Fatwas of “Ibn Taymiyyah” and “Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab” about Muslims and Non-Muslims. These fatwas have made earth planet insecure. Today Takfiri Wahhabism and followers of “Muhammad ibn abd al-Wahhab” who are the generation of devil have made this world insecure.
Some of European countries authorities show little reaction about the matter of blasphemy and are even happy that Muslims are fighting each other.
When European countries authorities see that not only Islamic countries but Wahhabism thought have made Non-Islamic countries insecure either, they may take an action. For instance “Turkey” that once was the supporter of terrorism is now the victim of terrorism. Who will be the responsible of killing people who were killed innocent?! There have ever been 18 terrorist operations in “Turkey”.
Commander of the faithful Ali [AS] says:
«وَ مَنْ حَفَرَ بِئْراً لِأَخِیهِ وَقَعَ فیها»
“Majlesi” – Bihar al-Anwar – vol. 72, p 321
When they were growing and supporting terrorists they should have predicted this result. These terrorists have no mercy towards their own parents and children let alone you, think little bit and see that where your supports from terrorists will lead to.
There is also a narrative from Imam “Sadiq” written in “Man la Yahduruh al-Faqih” book, vol. 1, p 383 that all our scholars have practiced it:
«یا زَیدُ خَالِقُوا النَّاسَ بِأَخْلَاقِهِمْ»
O’ Zayd! behave Sunnis with their own behavior.
What’s the meaning of this narrative?! See what behavior Sunnis like and what etiquette they have then behave them based on their own etiquette. This is the message of Imam “Sadiq” [AS] for me and you.
«صَلُّوا فِی مَسَاجِدِهِمْ وَ عُودُوا مَرْضَاهُمْ وَ اشْهَدُوا جَنَائِزَهُم»
All these things show that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] have tried a lot in this regard. Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says in continue:
«فَعَلَ اللَّهُ بِجَعْفَرٍ مَا کانَ أَسْوَأَ مَا یؤَدِّبُ أَصْحَابَه»
When you’re impolite they say: “What a bad Shia Imam “Sadiq” has trained.
Presenter:
This is the advice of Imam “Sadiq” [AS] to Shias to say mass prayer behind Sunnis and this matter is observed and this blessing event has ever happened in different places.
Unfortunately as you said evil Wahhabi channels seek division, enmity and grudge.
Wahhabism channels show a picture from several years ago in which Shia and Sunni are saying prayer separately but they never depict when Shias and Sunnis are standing beside each other in the same line saying mass prayer.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
Wahhabism, particularly “Medina” foul-mouthed “Kalkarabi” who gets money from “Israel” and “America” to say nonsense said the worst sentences to Imam “Khomeini” in two minutes, words that himself and his lord “Malik Salma” and his gods “Ibn Taymiyyah” and “Muhammad ibn abd al-Wahhab” deserve them.
These guys say that why Muslims don’t say prayer with each other?! If you accept what Imam “Sadiq” says and believe in unity between Shia and Sunni so, why don’t they say prayer behind each other?!
I prove these guys just lie and say nonsense. “Khalid al-Mula” is the head of the Sunni scholars of “Iraq” and no one has said that he’s Shia and Sunnis accept him. If you look at the picture carefully, you will see that just some of guys who are saying prayer behind him are Sunni and rest of them are Shia.
Wahhabis! Die by watching these pictures, why don’t you show these pictures?!
If you are not really seditionist so, why don’t you show these pictures even once? And as you see the prayer of unity between Shi and Sunni was said in the 30th conference of Islamic unity. You who claim: “why don’t you say prayer behind Sunnis if Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has advised?!” show these issues; why do you show a faked picture for several decades ago which has got nothing to do with the conference of Islamic unity?!
And you also see in this picture that Shia and Sunni are standing in the same line saying mass prayer.
Presenter:
As you see, figures who are standing behind Sunnis saying prayer are amongst Shia prominent scholars such as Mr. Araki.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
From another side you see that Sunni scholars are saying prayer behind “Mr. Araki” as mass prayer leader, we should say to Wahhabism:
(قُلْ مُوتُوا بِغَیظِکم)
Say: 'Die in your rage!
Sura Al-E-Imran / verse 119
250 Sunni scholars from 50 Islamic countries came here and about 400 Sunni scholars living inside the country came to this conference and it’s killing Wahhabism.
Wahhabis have no choice unless insulting our elders. You see in the picture that “Mr. Araki” is saying prayer along with Sunni scholars. He’s performing “Qunut” {Qunut is a supplication type of prayer made while standing in Islam}, but Sunnis don’t perform “Qunut” because they say prayer with closed hands {they put their hands on their belly while saying prayer}
Unity between Shia and Sunni is killing Wahhabism and these guys can’t deny the pain they’re feelinf. They show a picture that is for 20 years ago, if this picture is not faked, it’s has got nothing to do with Islamic unity conference.
Once Wahhabism attached this picture to a scene from “Takfir conference” held at the instruction of grand Ayatollah “Makarim Shirazi” and said: “look, in Takfir conference Shias and Sunnis are saying prayer separately!!”
Then it was clarified that this picture is for 25 years ago, but Wahhabis keep saying look that Shia and Sunni are saying prayer separately.
Pictures that you’re seeing are all for mass prayer said in Islamic unity conference. In this prayer once “Mr. Araki” said prayer as prayer leader and once Sunni scholar did so and others said prayer behind him.
Brainless guy!! Do these Sunnis who are saying prayer behind “Mr. Araki” believe that his “Wudu” is not accepted but they’re already saying prayer behind him as the leader of mass prayer?!
Were these guys forced coming here?! Were they paid to say prayer with Shias?! And you also see that two days ago both “Mr. Badr al-Din Hasuon” and “Mr. “Araki” speechified before Friday prayer sermons; then about 150 Sunnis said prayer behind “Mr. Imami Kashani”.{Friday prayer leader}. Amongst those who said prayer behind “Mr. Imami Kashani” are grand Mufti of “Kyrgyzstan” and one of Muftis of “Palestine”.
When Shia and Sunni see such things, they won’t pay attention to nonsense of Wahhabism.
And when supreme leader had traveled to “Zahedan”, “Mr. Abd al-Hamid” said prayer behind him. While “Mr. Abd al-Hamid” says: “I don’t say prayer behind many of Sunni scholars!!”
Shia dears who are living in the regions that Sunnis live there shall pay attention to the saying Imam “Sadiq” [AS] who says:
«مَنْ صَلَّی مَعَهُمْ فِی الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ کانَ کمَنْ صَلَّی خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص»
those who say prayer in the first line of mass prayer along with Sunnis, they are like someone who is saying prayer in the first line of mass prayer behind messenger of god [PBUH].
“Kulayni” – Al-Kafi – vol. 3, p 380
And it’s also written in “Mahasin” book, vol. 1, p 18 written by “Barqi” that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] orders and says:
«وَ صَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ فِی مَسَاجِدِهِمْ»
Say prayer in Sunnis’ mosques.
And it’s also written in “Tahzib” book written by Sheikh “Tusi”, vol. 3, p 277: “Anyone who says prayer in the first line of mass prayer along with Sunnis is like a person who is fighting in the path of god.
These issues are all instances from the orders of Shia Imams [AS], particularly Imam “Sadiq” [AS]. He had made an affection that Sunnis would attend his classes.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] would forbid Shias of any insulting towards Sunnis and it’s written in “I’tiqadat” book written by Sheikh “Saduq”, p 110 and “Behar al-Anwar” book, p 217, that Imam “Sadiq” would damn those who insulted Sunnis.
Presenter:
Thank you very much dear master. I want to ask another question, please answer it briefly so that we have enough time listening to viewers’ contacts.
Dear master! You mentioned to Imam “Sadiq” [AS]’s manners and that these opportunities are really great opportunities for us to take pattern from his life.
One of acts that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] would do and has been recorded in History was raising very clever disciples who can debate and respond opponents’ doubts.
Please talk about this matter little bit.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
That’s a great question. As we said two nights ago, commander of the faithful Ali [AS] who is the pioneer in unity and has been the victim of division, advices people to unity and forbids people from division.
This matter won’t cause that commander of the faithful Ali [AS] doesn’t discuss his rightfulness, Imamate and that he was oppressed.
Affection and unity that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has made amongst Islamic nation won’t cause that he doesn’t discuss the Imamate and guardianship of Hadrat “Ali” [AS] decisively.
As Ayatollah “Mutahhari” says we don’t give up on our “Mustahabb” and “Makrooh” acts because of unity. We don’t expect Sunnis to do so as well, this unity is a social unity despite all our differences.
While accepting our differences we should stand in the same line against united enemy and avoid of any kind of issue which can hurt the emotions of other side, this is the meaning of alliance that Shia Imams [AS] have talked about and our “Maraji’ taqlid” are talking about.
And also in this field, Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has disciples from Sunni elders and advices us to affection and attending Sunnis’ funeral and visiting their patients. Of course this issue can’t cause that he doesn’t train disciples responding doubts.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] is in all strongholds, he’s the flag holder of unity stronghold and the flag holder of the stronghold of saying the rightfulness of “Ahl al-Bayt” [AS] and he’s also the flag holder of the trench of responding doubts.
In all these issues, Imam “Sadiq” [AS] is in the front line the pioneer of all people. It’s written in “Bihar al-Anwar”, vol. 2, p 5 that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says about Shia scholars: “our scholars are not guys who just eat and sleep and don’t bother themselves!!”
Several days ago I said to one of scholars to be the presenter of the program which is special for responding doubts, Arabic section. He said: “I always go to Arabic countries, if I act in the section of responding Wahhabism doubts, they’ll prohibit me entering these countries.” I told him: “I didn’t know that your religion is not this much valuable to you!!
Sometimes some guys want to be comfortable. they say we just discuss virtues of “Ahl al-Bayt”[AS] and don’t butt into others’ things.
My dear! This is not your only task. Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says the indicators of Shia scholars and says if you don’t have these indicators, don’t call yourself Shia scholar!!
“عُلَمَاءُ شِیعَتِنَا مُرَابِطُون بِالثَّغْرِ الَّذِی یلِی إِبْلِیسُ وَ عَفَارِیتُهُ یمْنَعُونَهُمْ عَنِ الْخُرُوجِ عَلَی ضُعَفَاءِ شِیعَتِنَا”
Shia scholars are border guards who make trench in the border that devil and its sprites enter from there and don’t let them coming to country.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says decisively: Shia scholar makes trench in Shia belief border so that if a devil wants to enter the border and field of Shias’ moral and belief issues to deviate them, he can keep the devil which is in fact Wahhabism away of the border.
«وَ عَنْ أَنْ یتَسَلَّطَ عَلَیهِمْ إِبْلِیسُ وَ شِیعَتُهُ النَّوَاصِب»
Shia scholars stand in the border so that devil and its “Nasibi” Shias can’t dominate on Shia youth.
The clear instance of “Nasibi” Shias are irreverent guys who try on Wahhabi channels to waver the beliefs of Shia youth.
Dear viewers and Shias of commander of the faithful Ali [AS] shall pay attention that Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has a saying that must be written by gold and hung on our office. Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says:
«أَلَا فَمَنِ انْتَصَبَ لِذَلِک مِنْ شِیعَتِنَا کانَ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّنْ جَاهَدَ الرُّومَ وَ التُّرْک وَ الْخَزَرَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ»
Be aware that anyone who is in charge of defending Shia beliefs is better than one million warriors who are fighting on battle field.
«لِأَنَّهُ یدْفَعُ عَنْ أَدْیانِ مُحِبِّینَا وَ ذَلِک یدْفَعُ عَنْ أَبْدَانِهِم»
The reason of this superiority is that warriors defend Islamic country but Shia scholars defend Muslims and Shias’ religion.
“Majlisi” – Biḥār al-ʾanwār – vol. 2, p 5
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says decisively: one Shia scholar who is active in the field of responding doubts and defending belief issues is better than warriors defending Islamic country. This narrative is not just for scholars but anyone should defend the religion against doubts as much they can.
I thank to dear youth who go to cyberspace and stand against Wahhabism and respond them by proper arguments and politely.
Dears who help channels such as “Velayat” global channels which in the front line in the field of responding Wahhabism, opponents and enemies’ doubts, are like these guys with no different.
Someone may have scientific fund and another guy may have money, the act of these guys is the same as those whom Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has said about them that their act is higher than one million soldiers fighting on battle field.
There is no different between the act of presenter and expert who are in front line and those who support them {financially}
Presenter:
Naturally those who are in front line need the support of those who are behind front line.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
Yes they do. If Prophet [PBUH] didn’t have the financial supports of Hadrat “Khadija” at the beginning of his prophetic mission he wasn’t able spreading Islam religion this much.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says:
«مَنْ کانَ هَمُّهُ فِی کسْرِ النَّوَاصِبِ عَنِ الْمَسَاکینِ مِنْ شِیعَتِنَا الْمُوَالِینَ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیتِ یکسِرُهُمْ عَنْهُمْ وَ یکشِفُ عَنْ مَخَازِیهِمْ وَ یبَینُ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ وَ یفَخِّمُ أَمْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَیهِمْ»
Anyone who leaves no stone unturned breaking the back of “Nawasib” so that they can’t influence our less knowledgeable Shias wavering their belief and if anyone smite and decry them and reveal their crimes…
People shall know that the experts of Wahhabi channel insult because they have no response to say; because insulting is the reason of the one who doesn’t have reason.
Thank goodness the back of Wahhabism has broken by the experts of “Velayat” global channel and are burning from inside and have no choice unless insulting.
When a guy like “Kalkarabi”, {Wahhabi expert} says with quite indecency: “God can create thousands of god like himself and can give gun to Prophet killing him.” It’s clear that he doesn’t know the alphabet of theism and is just a claimant of theism!!
In continue, Imam “Sadiq” [AS]: anyone who does so:
«جَعَلَ اللَّهُ هِمَّةَ أَمْلَاک الْجِنَانِ فِی بِنَاءِ قُصُورِهِ وَ دُورِهِ» «یسْتَعْمِلُ بِکلِّ حَرْفٍ مِنْ حُرُوفِ حُجَجِهِ عَلَی أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ أَکثَرَ مِنْ عَدَدِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْیا أَمْلَاکاً»
Angels of heaven tell him: we establish castles and homes for you in paradise for each word that you say. And for any word that you say arguing enemies of god we will give you house more than the number of all people.
“Majlesi”- Bihar al-Anwar – vol. 2, p 10
As you see Imam “Sadiq” [AS] hasn’t just ordered people to interaction with Sunnis but interaction has its own place and defending principles of Shia beliefs have its place either.
When “Shami” man who would think of winning over Imam “Sadiq” [AS] while debating him and then getting back to “Sham” and quoting the news if his victory to people, went to Imam “Sadiq” [AS] for debate, Imam [AS] told him: in which field are you going to debate with me, he answered: in the field Quranic science.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] said to “Hamrn ibn A’yun”: get up and debate! That guy said to Imam “Sadiq” [AS] I want debate with you and I don’t debate with rookie and young guys.
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] told him:
«إِنْ غَلَبْتَ حُمْرَانَ فَقَدْ غَلَبْتَنِی»
If you can win over him, you have failed me.
What a great sentence!! If all the wealth in this world is put on one scale and this saying of Imam “Sadiq” [AS] is put on another one, swear by god! The value of this sentence is more.
The “Shami” person said: I want to debate in the field of “Fiqh”, Imam “Sadiq” [AS] said to “Zurarah”: get up and debate!
After a while that guy said: I want to debate about theology, Imam “Sadiq” [AS] said to “Hisham ibn Salim”: get up and debate!
When someone asked Imam “Sadiq” [AS] debating about Imamate, Imam [AS] ordered an 18 year old person named “Hisham ibn Hakam” to debate. He got up and debated so great and gave him so decisive responses that Imam "sadiq" [AS] told him: “Hisham”! You put him in such a bottleneck that didn’t let him to sallow his saliva.
From one side Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says that our Shia scholars are border guards and if someone breaks the back of “Nawasib” god will give him great reward and from another side he raises such great forces in the field of defending principles Shia belief.
Then Imam “Sadiq” [AS] says to “Hisham”:
«اتَّقِ الزَّلَّةَ وَ الشَّفَاعَةُ مِنْ وَرَائِک»
Be careful not to have any slip in debate and know that our intercession is with you.
“Majlisi” Bihar al-Anwar – vol. 48, p 205
Imam “Sadiq” [AS] decisively: “Know that our hand and support are above your head!! Imam “Sadiq” [AS] himself has had many debates as well

Viewer: {Jawad- Shia}:
Hello and more power to you Mr. Isma’ili and Ayatollah “Qazwini”, when I called a Wahhabi channel, I told “Mr. Turshabi” let me talk ten seconds but he didn’t let me interrupting me. I told him if you let me talking ten seconds, I’ll become Wahhabi, he accepted but after several seconds he interrupted me and didn’t let me to talk.
My question is that Sunni scholars believe that Shia Imams are not infallible, is there any reason for their belief in their own books?
Presenter:
This is what they always do and their viewers can’t talk easily.
Viewer: {Mr. Heidari – Shia}
Hello to Mr. Isma’ili and Ayatollah “Qazwini”. This year I went to “Karbala” and “Najaf”. I saw scenes in Hadrat “Ali” [AS] holy shrine which are quite different than what Wahhabis say on their channels. When I was saying prayer in Hadrat “Ali” [AS] holy shrine there were several Sunnis next to me saying prayer.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
We have seen in “Qum” province, at Hadrat “Ma’sumeh” holy shrine that Sunnis would come attending mass prayer. Same goes for Imam “Reza” [AS] holy shrine.
Presenter:
Thank you Mr. Heidari, Goodbye.
Viewer: {Mr. Sadeqi – Shia}
Hello. I have two questions. I was watching a Wahhabi channel several nights ago that one of their scholars said: Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has said: “I’m not an Imam who is compulsory to be obeyed.”
Of course the target of such guys of saying these issues is clear, but I want to know if there is authentic-document narrative in Sunni or Shia books in this regard?!
Presenter:
Didn’t he say its document?
Viewer:
He kept talking without saying document but he said this issue about Imam “Sadiq” [AS]. My next question is that if our Imams have mentioned to their own “Rija’t” {Returning} in our books or Sunni books?!
Presenter:
Thank you for your calling. Dear master “Jawad” from “Karaj” said that Wahhabis claim that our Imams [AS] are not infallible, is there any reason for their claim?!
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
One of issues that we should talk about is that if our Imams [AS] were really infallible or not?! We have at least 50 narratives in which Prophet [PBUH] has said that my “Ahl al-Bayt” are infallible.
Commander of the faithful Ali [AS] says: we are infallible. Imam “Hasan” [AS], Imam “Husayn” [AS] and other Imams [AS] have said issues in this regard.
For instance, there is a narrative that Imam “Reza” [AS] has quoted from Prophet [PBUH] written in “Uyun al-Akhbar Ar-Ridha” book, vol. 2, p 57:
«وَ هُمُ الْمَعْصُومُونَ مِنْ کلِّ ذَنْبٍ وَ خَطِیئَةٍ»
My “Ahl al-Bayt” are infallible from any sin and lapse.
This narrative is also written in “Amali” book from Sheikh “Saduq”, p 583. And there is a narrative in “Kifayat al-Athar” book, p 151 that prophet [PBUH] says to commander of the faithful Ali [AS]:
«أَنْتَ الْوَصِی عَلَی الْأَمْوَاتِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَیتِی وَ الْخَلِیفَةُ عَلَی الْأَحْیاءِ مِنْ أُمَّتِی حَرْبُک حَرْبِی وَ سِلْمُک سِلْمِی أَنْتَ الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الْأَئِمَّةِ الْإِحْدَی عَشْرَةَ مِنْ صُلْبِک أَئِمَّةٌ مُطَهَّرُونَ مَعْصُومُونَ»
And there is also another narrative that prophet [PBUH] says:
«أَنَا وَ عَلِی وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَینُ وَ تِسْعَةٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَینِ مُطَهَّرُونَ مَعْصُومُونَ»
Kifayat al-Athar- p 19
Experts of Wahhabi channels are illiterate. If they look at the books of Sunni elders, they even say that their own caliphs are infallible.
If you look at the book “Sharh al-Maqasid”, vol. 2, p 279 from “Mr. Taftazani”, he says:
«أبی بکر وعمر وعثمان رضی الله عنهم مع الإجماع علی أنهم لم تجب عصمتهم وإن کانوا معصومین بمعنی أنهم منذ آمنوا کان لهم ملکة اجتناب المعاصی مع التمکن منها»
“Abu-Bakr”, “Umar” and “Uthman” are infallible, because since they converted to Islam the angle of avoiding committing sin has been in them. While they were able to commit sin they didn’t do so.
And it’s also written in another Sunni book named “Al-Sunnah” from “Mr. Khalal”:
«رفع الخطأ عن أبی بکر وعمر»
God has removed any sin or lapse from “Abu-Bakr” and “Umar”.
“Al-Sunnah” – vol. 2, p 307
Presenter:
Meanwhile when we look at caliphs’ behaviors, we say that they had lapses and mistakes as well.
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
Hundredth of Insults towards caliphs, particularly second caliph “Umar” and “Ayesha” written in Sunni books are not in Shia books. I’m ready that irreverent “Kalkarabi” from Medina calls and we select second caliph and “Ayesha” to see if they were insulted in Sunni books more or Shia books!!
I also said that I’m ready to debate with that guy who is Zionist servant, let’s put theism and Imamate maters aside and just debate about Sahaba from the perspective of Shia and Sunni. If they think that they are right we’re ready debating. I say that we are ready to debate with these two guys. All Wahhabi experts are illiterate but these two guys know little bit.
Like other Wahhabi experts, these two guys are irreverent as well, but at least they can say document for one their sentences out of ten sentences that they say. We’re sure that these guys are so stubborn that don’t listen to anything; because:
(خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلی قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ عَلی سَمْعِهِمْ وَ عَلی أَبْصارِهِمْ غِشاوَةٌ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ عَظِیم)
Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and ears; their sight is dimmed and for them is a great punishment.
Sura Al-Baqara – verse 7
Despite all these things we’re are ready to debate with them so that at least viewers understand the truth.
Presenter:
Another viewer asked two questions. First one was that a Wahhabi expert said: Imam “Sadiq” [AS] has said: “I’m not an Imam who is compulsory to be obeyed!!” Did Imam “Sadiq” [AS] say such thing?!
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
We don’t know where they bring such narratives from, anything that we say here has already been prepared, I didn’t know that he wants ask such questions. It’s written in “Rejal” book, p 422, Hadith No. 796 with authentic document:
«وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِیاً (ع) کانَ لَهُ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ الْمَفْرُوضَةِ عَلَی الْعِبَادِ»
“Ali ibn abi Talib” was compulsory to be obeyed by all people.
It’s written in rest of the narrative that Imam “Hasan” [AS], Imam “Husayn” [AS], Imam “Sajjad” [AS] were compulsory to be to be obeyed, the document of this narrative is authentic. But currently we don’t have time to look into its document.
We have many narratives in which Shia Imams [AS] have said: “We are compulsory to be obeyed and god has made our obedience compulsory to everybody.”
Presenter:
Thank you, his next question was that if Shia Imams [AS] have mentioned to their “RaJa’t”?! {Return}
Ayatollah “Qazwini”:
Yes they have, there many narratives in this regard as well. Questions related to “beliefs” are answered by “Mr. Muhammadi”. Ask him such questions. We’re not supposed to answer all questions. We respond questions related to Wahhabism.
Presenter:
Thank you for watching us goodbye.
