Correcting the belief of Mualla bin Khunais

Miracles of Masoomeen 03:04

Abul Abbas Baqbaq said that there was a debate between Ibne Abi Yafur and Mualla bin Khunais regarding successors of the Prophet. Ibne Abi Yafur said, “The successors of the Prophet are knowledgeable, pious and abstemious.”

Mualla bin Khunais said, “Successors of the Prophet are prophets.”

After this argument both came to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) and he said upon seeing them,

“My dear man, we are aloof from one, who regards us as prophets.”

I (the author of this book) would like to state that Mualla had entertained this mistaken notion initially but when he took religious instructions from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a) he corrected his beliefs.

It is narrated from Huzaifah bin Usaid Ghiffari who said: When Hasan bin Ali bade farewell to Muawiyah and left for Medina, I accompanied him in his journey, and there was a loaded camel in front of him, not separating from him wherever he headed. One day I said to him, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, O Abu Muhammad! This luggage, you do not separate from it wherever you are headed.’ He said: ‘O Huzaifah! Do you know what it is?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said: ‘This is the register.’ I said, ‘A register of what?’ He said: ‘Register of our Shias wherein are their names.’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Show me my name.’ He said: ‘Come in the morning.’ He said: ‘I went to him in the morning and with me was a nephew of mine, and he was literate and I could not read. He said: ‘What have you come for in the morning?’ I said, ‘The need which you promised me.’ He said: ‘Who is that youth with you?’ I said, ‘A nephew of mine, and he is literate, and I am not.’ He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me: ‘Be seated!’ So, I sat down. He said: ‘Get me the middle register.’ I came with it.’ The youth looked and there were names listed. While he was reading, he said, ‘O uncle! Here is my name!’ I said, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Look where my name is.’ He turned a page, then said, ‘There is your name.’ So, we cheered, and the youth was martyred with Husain bin Ali” Reference: Basairud Darajaat, Pg. 172, Tr. 6, Miracles of Ahlulbayt (a.s. ) - Vol. 2.Pg.70
