As for me, my brother, I take care of delighting you. O Allah, You know that I like to set them right,
am kind to them, visit them, merciful to them, take care of their affairs by day and night;
therefore reward me good through that. If I am other than that, then You are the Knower of the
unseen. So reward me with that which I deserve, evil for evil, and good for good. O Allah, set them
right and set right for them (their souls); drive away Satan from us and them; help them obey you;
grant them success to (attain) Your guidance. As for me, my brothers, I take care of delighting you
and do my best to set you right; and Allah is a witness of what we say.”
However, al‐‘Abbas answered him with vainglory and impudence: “I know your tongue well; and
your spade has no clay with me!”[1] In this manner the narrators have mentioned al‐‘Abbas; and
only Allah knows the real condition. Al‐‘Abbas had a boy called al‐Qasim, whose mother was a
slave‐wife called Nedam. He hid himself from the authorities in Sura. He planted vegetables and
lived on their returns. None recognized him there. The people surrounded him, for he was ascetic
and worshipful. When they asked him about his name and lineage, he refused to give it to them.
Al‐‘Abbas married a woman, and the woman born him a female. A man called ‘Isa visited him. The
man wanted to go to Mecca to perform the hajj. When he wanted to say good‐by to al‐‘Abbas, he
asked him about his need, and he said to him:
‐I have a need with you. ‐What is it? ‐I want you to take my daughter to Medina. When you arrive
in it, ask (the people) about the street so‐and‐so. When you enter it, leave the girl there and go
away.
‘Isa traveled to Mecca. When he arrived in Medina, he left the girl in the specified place. The girl
went to a house and knocked at the door. The door was opened for her, and she came in. Shortly
after that, the people in the house cried loudly. ‘Isa asked them about the reason for their crying,
and they said to him: “Al‐Qasim b. al‐‘Abbas has died; and this is his daughter.” He was astonished
at that. When he returned home, the people told him about the death of al‐Qasim. He told them
that al‐Qasim was Imam Musa’s grandson, and then he told them about the affair of al‐Qasim’s
daughter. Accordingly, a group of believers built a dome over his pure grave, which people visit up
to now. 13. ‘Abd Allah
His mother was a slave‐wife. He was known as al‐‘Awkalani; and his children were called al‐
‘Awkalaniya. Concerning him, ‘Ali b. Ibrahim narrated, saying: “When Imam al‐Rida, peace be on
him, died, we went to Mecca to perform the [1] Tanqeeh al‐Maqal, vol. 2, p. 130.
hajj. Many Shi‘ites from all countries were present to look at Abu Ja‘far. His uncle ‘Abd Allah b.
Musa came in. He was a noble, old man wearing coarse garments. Some signs of prostration were
between his two eyes. He sat down, and Abu Ja‘far came out wearing a fine, flaxen shirt[1] and a
white pair of sandals. ‘Abd Allah rose for him, received him, and kissed him on the forehead. The
