T H E S T R A I G H T P A T H The World of Those Who Reject Yamani a.s By: Aunslaught ihd Bismillah Hir Rahman Irr Rahim, The Belief of those who reject Yamani Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s) In the Religion of Islam there are several sections of belief that are mandatory to believe in, otherwise the person who disbelieves in those sections comes out of the fold of Islam, perhaps even without realizing it. So the person would call himself a Muslim, yet not adhere truly to Islam. He would claim to be one who submits to God when in actuality his or her heart is rebellious against Allah (swt) because s/he does not accept certain sections of the Message that Allah (swt) has made incumbent on him or her to believe. The Yamani (a.s) is such a section of belief. As Imam Muhammad Baqir a.s has said: "There is no banner better than that of the banner of Yamani, it is the banner of faith and dedication, because he calls to your possessor, so if the Yamani comes out selling weapons to people, or any Muslim becomes prohibited, and if the Yamani appears, stand up to him, because his banner is the banner of faith, and it is prohibited for any Muslim to turn away from him, and who ever turns away from him, then he's from the people of hell, because he calls to the truth and to the right path).” Al-Ghaybah - Mohammad Ibn Ibrahim A' Noâmani p. 264. Hence, if we look into the message that the claimant Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s) brings, we find a message that is calling to the Supremacy of Allah (swt) and that is rejecting the Supremacy of people. It has been looked at in many ways, this Dawah. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Aalimeen, the Muslims who adhere to the Yamani (a.s) have presented this Dawah in a positive way many times in the past. If looked in another perspective, and if this matter was inspected in a particularly strange manner, as to what a person believes in who has actually rejected Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s), we will find our minds opening more. The world of those who reject. Let us take a look Insha’Allah, Bismillah. A) We find that if a man rejects Sayyid Ahmad Al Hassan (a.s) that man has rejected the fact that the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) has written a Will. Either this is the case, or that man will believe that the Will was not transmitted to Imam Ali (a.s) who transmitted it to his descendants and so it would reach Saheb Al Amr (a.s). Either it is one of these two cases, or the man will believe that the Will was forged. In the first case, if one believes that the Prophet (s.a.w) has not written a Will, then it is safe to say that person has insulted the Prophet (s.a.w), as we see in Surah Baqara, (Ayat 180): [2:180] Bequest is prescribed for you when death approaches one of you, if he leaves behind wealth for parents and near relatives, according to usage, a duty (incumbent) upon those who guard (against evil). So that person would believe the Prophet (s.a.w) to not be of the pious people, and that is a blatantly blasphemous statement to make. Although that person would not make this statement, his deed of rejection of the Prophet (s.a.w) having written a Will would in effect lead him to believe this. May Allah (swt) Protect us from being that mindless. As we see that the Prophet (s.a.w) had asked for a pen and a paper in the Calamity of Thursday, but he was denied the pen and paper by fallible people. Would that stop Muhammad (s.a.w) from writing a Will? No, he would narrate it to Imam Ali (a.s), as we find in Ghaybat Al Toosi, page 150, as well as 12 more references, and we find the Will to have a chain of reliable narrators. If it is the second case, then who would the Prophet (s.a.w) transmit the Will to if not to his cousin and Right Hand, Imam Ali (a.s)? As the Testament says that he asked Ali (a.s) to bring the equipment to write, on the night of the passing away of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). If it is the third case, and a person claims that the Will is forged, then he would be lying on Allah, as the Hadith of Ahadith says: "It has been written to Imam Abi Al-Hassan (a.s) and he answered in one of his letters saying: 'Don't say to what you have heard to be from us or that it is traced back to us to be false, even if you knew something different from it, as you don't know why we said it and on what occasion we described it' " Bihar al Anwar part 48 page [244] We find the Matan does not contradict the Quran, rather it confirms Surah Baqara, Ayat 180, which states that the pious must leave a Will, so this Will makes it proven that the Prophet (s.a.w) adhered to the Quran, and hence the Quran supports the Will. Besides which, the concept of the 12 Imams and the 12 Mahdis (a.s) is confirmed through other Ahadith besides the Will. We also find mention of the Will being bro ՝
