Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh Ibrahim, we left him and he went to ask about this paper that is being distributed to them about the book of al-Jafr of Imam Ali. You must have heard about it. Yes, I must have, and we asked. It gathers the yellow and the Franks and Egypt. And we said. We put a source in it. Yes, yes, in the wilderness on a man named Sadiq. I am known, known. And none of them returns. It was said: When, O Messenger of Allah? Yes, indeed. Of course.
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah. This book is for a Shia man. Al-Jafr, my brother, we said: dig for him and put it in the grave. May Allah protect us. Yes, yes. In the name of Allah. Please, go ahead.
The questioner : He put it in the heart of a tree. He came to the tree while it was standing, of course, and dug for it from the inside and placed the book. As days and time passed, the tree grew over the book, so it became the heart of the tree, and the tree grew up normally. So he came and said to the people: I dreamed that Ali, Imam Ali, would come, and he is saying to me: there is a book in such-and-such a tree. Go, dig for it and take it out. The people said: let us dig. They dug and found the book itself. These are some of the narrations about this book, and Allah knows best.
The Shaykh : I wished you would have said "they claim" in your first words.
The questioner : Of course.
The Shaykh : This story fits the book of al-Jafr. Yes, indeed. In both cases. If they did not open the topic, it wants to be opened. I liked the youth, I liked the youth, I will say, because it means I spoke on this topic only.
The questioner : A thought and its companions, if Allah wills, meaning we learn.
The Shaykh : Yes, we spoke a lot.
