asked them: “Do you see anybody in the house?” “No,” they replied. Then he ordered them to go
out. When they went out, he spread the picture and removed the curtain between it and them.
They saw a standing picture looking like Imam Musa, peace be on him. He stood by the picture
and whispered to it and spoke to it. He approached it as if that he wanted to tell it some thing in
secret. Then he asked them to go out, lowered the curtains and folded the picture. Such was his
behavior for a period of time in seducing, misleading, deceiving, and spreading discords among
the people.
An example of his jugglery is that when Harun al‐Rashid arrested him and intended to kill him, he
said to him: “O Commander of the faithful, leave me and I will make you the things the kings like.”
Thus, he released him and he made him norias in a wonderful way. He made plates (al‐wah) and
put mercury into them. The norias were full of water and poured into those plates; the mercury
was reversed and the norias became wide; they functioned in this way without a machine or an
engine. Harun al‐Rashid admired that. Muhammed b. Isma’il made Harun al‐Rashid other works
that indicated his skill.
C. His Denying Imam Musa
Muhammed b. Basheer denied Imam Musa, peace be on him. He claimed that he had been raised
up to the heaven, and that the one who was in prison was other than Imam Musa. Through that,
he tried to spoil the beliefs of the Shi‘a and to control their legal rights, for he claimed that he was
the representative of the Imam.
D. Imam Musa invokes Allah against him
When this unbeliever spread heresies and errors among the people and spoiled the Muslim young
men, Imam Musa invoke Allah against him and warned the people against him. Ibn Abi Hamza al‐
Bataini has related, saying: [I have heard Imam Musa, peace be on him, say:] “May Allah curse
Muhammed b. Basheer and make him taste the heat of the iron; he lied to me; may Allah
renounce him; and I renounce him before him. O Allah, before You I renounce what Ibn Bashir
claims! O Allah, rid me of him!” Then he, peace be on him, turned to Ibn Abi Hamza and said: “O
‘Ali, if someone tells lies to us, Allah makes him taste the heat of iron. Banan told lies to ‘Ali b. al‐
Husayn, peace be on him, and Allah made him taste the heat of iron; al‐Mughira b. Sa‘eed told lies
to Abu Ja‘far, peace be on him, and Allah made him taste the heat of iron; Abu al‐Khattab told lies
to my father, and Allah made him taste the heat of iron; and Muhammed b. Bashir, may Allah
curse him told lies to me, and Allah made him taste the heat of iron. I, before Allah, renounce him;
O Allah, before You I renounce what Muhammed b. Bashir claims concerning me. O Allah, relieve
me of him! O Allah, rid me of him! O Allah, surely I ask You to relieve me of this dirty and unpure
one (Muhammed b. Bashir)!”
