Jesus answered: yes, he said then: then let youself down from\nthat wall, and the answer was as mentioned before, and the Satan said:\ncan your Lord get the earth into an egg and the egg as it is and the earth\nas it is? He (PUH) answered: God is not described with any disability and\nwhat you said is not to be because it is impossible by itself because it\nis a disability in what is possible but not a disability in the abilities\nof God.\nAs attributed to Al-B\u00e2qir (PUH): Satan met with Jesus the son\nof Mary (PUH) and Jesus said to him: did your tricks get some of me? Then\nSatan said: when your grandmother gave birth to your mother she said: Lord\nit is a female and a male is not like a female and I sake refuge in you\nfor her offsprings and descendants against the Satan, and so I couldn't\nharm you.\nIt is mentioned that Al-Ridh\u00e2 (PUH) was asked about the reason\nthat Al-Hawariyoon (The Apostles) were called by this name, and he (PUH)\nsaid: for people they were called like this because they used to clean\nup the clothes from dirts, and for us they are called like this because\nthey are sincere in themselves and used to relief others from the dirts\nof their sins by sermons. Then he was asked why Nas\u00e2r\u00e2 (Christians,\nNazarethans) were called by this name? He answered: because they are from\na village called Al-N\u00e2sirah (Nazareth) in the lands of Canaan and\nthere settled Mary and Jesus after coming back from Egypt.\nIt is mentioned that Jesus once said: O Apostles, I have a request\nwould you fullfil it for me? They said to him: what is your request O Spirit\nof God? He said to them: to let me wash your feet, they said then: we are\nthe ones that supposed to wash them for you, he said to them: No, this\nis my request to you. Then he went and washed their feet, and then he said\nto them: I am the one to be served by those who have the wisdom, and I've\nbeen humble to you so that you become humble to the people after me as\nI am humble to you, and then said Jesus: by being humble, the wisdom grows\nbut not by ego, and so the grass grows in the plains but it doesn't grow\nin mountains.\nIn some narrations it is mentioned that Al-S\u00e2diq (PUH) was asked:\nwhy the folks of Jesus were able to walk on water but the folks of Muhammad\ncouldn't do so? He (PUH) then answered: the folks of Jesus had their enough\nof living and made life so cheap and had their enough in the grass of the\nground, and those, the folks of Muhammad (PUH) were troubled by the living\nand the trade. It is mentioned by them (the Household) (PUT) that the first\nof nations were three that did not disbelieve in God for one glance of\ntime: `Ali ben Abi-T\u00e2lib, the prince of believers (PUH), and Habeeb\nAl-Najj\u00e2r the believer of Ya Sin [please check the chapter of Ya\nSin (13-27)] and the believer of the family of the pharaoh, Ezekiel [please\ncheck the chapter of Moses], and `Ali ben Abi-T\u00e2lib (PUH) is their\nbest. Jesus the son of Mary had many strange and amazing tidings that have\nnothing alike, and one of those is that once upon a time he passed by a\nvillage and he settled as a guest for an old woman and she had no one with\nher except of one son that his father died and was an orphan, and she was\nso poor and her son loved the daughter of the king because he saw her in\nher castle and he loved her and her love remained in his heart and he turned\nso dispaired, so Jesus noticed him and knew that he was so sad and he asked\nhim about his sadness but he denied to give an answer, but he insisted\nand said to him: tell me about your story maybe the cure is with me, and\nin brief he told him his story and how despaired he is.\nWhat happened then is that Jesus sent the young man to the king to\nask to marry his daughter and when he arrived they blocked his way and\nmocked at him and were amazed of his request, but he didn't go away until\nthey let him in to the king and he asked to marry his daughter , and then\nthe king said as to mock at him: I shall not give you my daughter until\nyou bring that much of pearsl and that much of jewels and that much of\nrubies, and he described what was not in his own treasury neither it was\nin the reasuries of other kings, and then the young man said: I shall go\nnow and bring you the answer, and when he went back to Jesus (PUH) and\ntold him of what happened, Jesus took him and went with him to a deserted\nplace full of stones and rocks and he prayed to God and all turned to what\nthe king asked for, so the young man took what the king asked and went\nto him, and it was even more better than what the king asked for, and when\nhe arrived to the king he got amazed with the rest of the people sitting\nin his court, and then the king said: this is not enough, and then the\nyoung man turned back to Jesus and told him what happened, and Jesus said:\ngo to the place and take what you want and go to him, and when he got back\nto the king with the double of the first request, he got more amazed and\neven so his ministers and the king said then: this young man has a weird\naffair, and then the king remained with the young man alone and asked about\nhis story, and he told him all the story that happened with Jesus the son\nof Mary (PUH) and how he loved his daughter, and the king knew that the\nguest was Jesus the son of Mary (PUH) and that was his own deed and everything\nthe young man came up with was from him and he wants to complete the story\nup to the young man, and then the king said to the young man: tell the\nguest to come up to me and let my daughter marry you, and so Jesus came\nup and married the daughter to the young man and the king sent luxurious\nclothes to the young man and he wore them and married the daughter at that\nnight, and when it was the morning, the king asked to bring the young man\nand he talked to him and found out that he was a wiseman and the king had\nno other son but only this daughter and so the king made him his successor\nand he ordered everyone to obey him and on the second night the king died\nand the young man turned to a king and everyone obeyed him, and then Jesus\ncame in the third day to say farewell to him before travelling out of his\nold mother's house, and then the young man said: O wiseman, you have many\ngreat favors upon me that I can't thank for even single one of them, but\nyesterday a matter passed by my mind and if you didn't answer me about\nit then everything I had by now is useless to me, he (Jesus) said: and\nwhat is that? The young man said: you were able to move me from that low\ngrade to this high position in just two days so why don't you do the same\nfor yourself and I can see you in those clothes and in such situation?\nAnd he (Jesus) then answered with something that didn't convince him, and\nthen he insisted and he swore that he shall not let him go until he knows\nthe truth from him, and then Jesus (PUH) said: he who knows God and how\nmuch are His favors and His rewards and he who can see how this life will\nbe over and how cheap it is shall not be chasing such mortal kingdom and\nwe have by the closeness to Him and by the knowledgement of Him a spirituality,\nthat beside it we count those mortal lusts as nothing beside it, and when\nhe (Jesus) told him about the life and its badness and the after-life and\nits rewards, the young man then said: then I have another matter shall\nbe against you, why did you choose what is better for yourself and made\nme go along with such troubles? Then Jesus (PUH) said to him: I chose that\nfor you to test your mind and your wisdom and to make the reward for you\nto leave all of those things that are made easy for you and so you shall\nbe a clue by yourself against others, and when the young man heard his\nanswer and saw the truth, he left the kingdom and wore his old clothes\nand followed Jesus the son of Mary (PUH), so think about it O people of\nwisdom.\nIt is narrated by Al-S\u00e2diq (PUH) that once upon a time Jesus\nthe son of Mary (PUH) went to some destination with three men and he passed\nby three golden adobes along the road, and Jesus then said to his companions:\nthis is the one that kills people, and he passed it and not so far away\none of his companions said: I need to do something, and he departed and\nthen the other two did the same and left Jesus walking alone, and he knew\nwhat they wanted, and then the three met over the three adobes, and then\nthe two said to one of them: buy us some food from the near by village,\nand he went to buy some food and he put some poison in it to kill them\nso that they won't share the gold with him, and the two said that they\nshall kill him when he comes back, and when he got back they killed him\nand then they had their lunch and died, and then Jesus came back to them\nand they are dead and he resurrected them by the permission of God, and\nthen said to them: didn't I tell you that this is the one that kills people?\nAnd as attributed to Al-B\u00e2qir (PUH) that he said: when Jesus was\nborn, he was like two months old in one day, and when he turned to be seven\nmonths old, his mother took him to a teacher and made him sit at his place,\nand the teacher said to him: say by the name of God the most beneficent\nthe most Merciful, and so did Jesus say, and then the teacher said: say\nAbjad Hawaz [in fact, they are the beginning of the alphabet in semitic\nlanguages and they are ABJD HWZ or HVZ], and before the end of his speech,\nJesus left his head and said: do you know what is Abjad? The teacher then\nwanted to hit him and he said to him: O teacher don't hit me, if you know\nwhat is it then for it or ask me to tell you the truth, and he said: tell\nme, and he (Jesus) said: A is for the favors of God, and B is for the happiness\nof God, and the J for the beauty of God and D for the religion of God,\nHawaz: H for how horrible is hell, W is for woe for the people of hell,\nand Z for the breath of the hell, and HTY for: the sins are dropped down\nfor those who repent, KLMN is for: the words of God that never changed,\nS`FSs [Ss = Ts in modern Hebrew and Aramaic sometimes]\u00a0 is for: eye\nfor an eye, QRShT is for: He gathered them together [notice that all of\nthese interpretations are based mainly on the Arabic language, and might\nbe so close to the original language of Jesus, Aramaic, since both of them\nare semitic languages along with Hebrew and all of them have the same order\nfor the alphabet], and then the teacher said to his mother: O lady, take\nthe hands of your son because he is taught he needs not a teacher. As attributed\nto Al-S\u00e2diq (PUH) that he said: Jesus said: I dealth with sick people\nand cured them with the permission of God, and cured the blind and the\nleper by the permission of God, and I dealth with the dead and resurrected\nthem by the permission of God, and I dealt with the stupid but I couldn't\ncure him, so he was asked: and what is the stupid O Spirit of God? he answered:\nhe's the one who likes himself and his own opinion and see that he has\nall the favors like if they are not done to him and see that he has all\nthe rights and considers no one has any rights, so that is the stupid that\nhas no cure.\nIt is narrated that Jesus once was wandering and it got stormy with\nrain and lightning so he got on looking for a shelter, and he saw a tent\nfar away and he went to it and there he found a woman so he remained away\nfrom it and then he saw a cave in a mountain and he went there and found\na lion, so he put his hand over his back [his back might mean the back\nof the lion, or his own back] and lifted his head towards God and said:\nO Lord, You made for everything a shelter but me, and then God inspired\nto him: your shelter is deep into My Mercy and by My Exaltness I shall\nlet you marry one hundred nymph that I made by My own hands and I shall\nfeed in your wedding for four thousand years and each day of them is like\nthe age of life, and I shall order a caller to call and say: where are\nthe faithful in this life let them attend the wedding of the faithful Jesus\nthe son of Mary. They say that life appeared for him in the shape of an\nugly old woman with no teeth and wearing various ornaments, and then Jesus\nsaid to her: how many did you marry? She answered: I can't count them,\nand then he said to her: and all of them died or they divorced you? She\nsaid: no but I killed them all, and then he said to her: woe to them your\nprevious husbands, how come you kill them one by one and they weren't aware?\nAnd there are many other sermons and advices and miracles that we cannot\nmention in here and what we have mentioned in here is only like a drop\nof his sea, so it is enough to take this much of his wisdom, may peace\nbe upon him, and our success is only by God.\nNext: The Bell","title":"The Prophets, Their Lives and Their Stories: Jesus The Son of Mary: Some Additions of Narrations About The Messiah, Jesus (PUH)","type":"page"}
