مَنْ تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ مِنَ الْأَكَابِرِ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. رَوَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ، وُلِدَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِائَةٍ، وَكَانَ عَظِيمَ الْخَلْقِ، وَكَانَتْ فِيهِ عَجَائِبُ: مِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ حَجَّ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ سَنَةَ خَمْسِينَ، وَحَجَّ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بِالنَّاسِ سَنَةَ خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةٍ. كَذَلِكَ ذَكَرَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْخَطِيبُ. وَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ: حَجَّ يَزِيدُ بِالنَّاسِ سَنَةَ خَمْسِينَ، وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ سَنَةَ خَمْسِينَ إِحْدَى وَمِائَةٍ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ حَجِّهِمَا [مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ عَلَى قَوْلِ الْخَطِيبِ، وَهُمَا فِي النَّسَبِ إِلَى عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ سَوَاءٌ، لِأَنَّ يَزِيدَ هُوَ ابْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَخْرِ بْنِ حَرْبِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ. وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ ]. وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعٍ وَمِائَةٍ، وَتُوُفِّيَ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَثَمَانِينَ. وَوُلِدَ أَخُوهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ سَنَةَ سِتِّينَ، وَكَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ فِي الْمَوْلِدِ أَرْبَعٌ وَأَرْبَعُونَ سَنَةً. وَتُوُفِّيَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ سَنَةً سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ، وَتُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَثَمَانِينَ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي الْوَفَاةِ تِسْعٌ وَخَمْسُونَ سَنَةً. وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ إِلَى عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ سَوَاءٌ. وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ أَدْرَكَ [أَبَا ] الْعَبَّاسِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ، وَأَدْرَكَ الْمَنْصُورَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الْمَهْدِيَّ وَهُوَ عَمُّ أَبِيهِ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الْهَادِيَ وَهُوَ عَمُّ جَدِّهِ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الرَّشِيدَ. وَقَالَ يَوْمًا لِلرَّشِيدِ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، هَذَا مَجْلِسٌ فِيهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَعَمُّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَعَمُّ عَمِّهِ، وَعَمُّ عَمِّ عَمِّهِ، وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَمُّ الرَّشِيدِ. وَالْعَبَّاسَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَمُّ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَعَبْدَ الصَّمَدِ عَمُّ الْعَبَّاسِ. وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ مَاتَ بِأَسْنَانِهِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ بِهَا وَلَمْ تَتَغَيَّرْ، وَكَانَتْ أَسْنَانُهُ قِطْعَةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أَسْفَلَ. وَمِنْهَا: أَنَّهُ طَارَتْ رِيشَتَانِ إِلَى عَيْنَيْهِ فَذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ. وعن إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْإِمَامُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَدِّي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْإِمَامُ - وَكَانَ يَجْلِسُ لِوَلَدِهِ وَوَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ خَمِيسٍ يَعِظُهُمْ وَيُحَدِّثُهُمْ - قَالَ: أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ الْمَنْصُورُ بُكْرَةً وَاسْتَعْجَلَنِي الرَّسُولُ فَدَخَلْنَا، فَإِذَا الرَّبِيعُ وَاقِفٌ عِنْدَ السِّتْرِ، وَإِذَا الْمَهْدِيُّ وَلِيُّ الْعَهْدِ فِي الدِّهْلِيزِ جَالِسٌ، وَإِذَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ [وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ]، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَسَنِ بْنِ حَسَنٍ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ الرَّبِيعُ: اجْلِسُوا مَعَ بَنِي عَمِّكُمْ فَجَلَسْنَا، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الرَّبِيعُ وَخَرَجَ، وَقَالَ لِلْمَهْدِيِّ: ادْخُلْ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ. ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَقَالَ: ادْخُلُوا جَمِيعًا. [فَدَخَلْنَا ] فَسَلَّمْنَا، وَأَخَذْنَا مَجَالِسَنَا، فَقَالَ لِلرَّبِيعِ: هَاتِ دَوًى وَمَا يَكْتُبُونَ فِيهِ. فَوَضَعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا دَوَاةً وَوَرَقًا، ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ: يَا عَمُّ، حَدِّثْ وَلَدَكَ وَإِخْوَتَكَ، وَبَنِي أَخِيكَ بِحَدِيثِ الْبِرِّ وَالصِّلَةِ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "إِنَّ الْبِرَّ وَالصِّلَةِ لَيُطِيلَانِ فِي الْأَعْمَارِ، وَيُعَمِّرَانَ الدِّيَارَ، وَيُثْرِيَانِ الْأَمْوَالَ، وَلَوْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ فُجَّارًا ". ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا عَمُّ، الْحَدِيثَ الْآخَرَ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: "إِنَّ الْبِرَّ وَالصِّلَةَ لَيُخَفِّفَانِ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيَخْشَوْنَ رَبَّهُمْ وَيَخَافُونَ سُوءَ الْحِسَابِ. فَقَالَ الْمَنْصُورُ: يَا عَمُّ، الْحَدِيثَ الْآخَرَ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مَلِكَانِ أَخَوَانِ عَلَى مَدِينَتَيْنِ، وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا بَارًّا بِرَحِمِهِ، عَادِلًا عَلَى رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ عَاقًّا بِرَحِمِهِ، جَائِرًا عَلَى رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَكَانَ فِي عَصْرِهِمَا نَبِيٌّ، فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِ هَذَا الْبَارِّ ثَلَاثُ سِنِينَ، وَبَقِيَ مِنْ هَذَا الْعَاقِّ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً. قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيُّ رَعِيَّةَ هَذَا وَرَعِيَّةَ هَذَا، فَأَحْزَنَ ذَلِكَ رَعِيَّةَ الْعَادِلِ، وَأَحْزَنَ ذَلِكَ رَعِيَّةَ الْجَائِرِ، قَالَ: فَفَرَّقُوا بَيْنَ الْأَطْفَالِ وَالْأُمَّهَاتِ، وَتَرَكُوا الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّرَابَ، وَخَرَجُوا إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُمَتِّعَهُمْ بِالْعَادِلِ، وَيُزِيلَ عَنْهُمْ أَمْرَ الْجَائِرِ [فَأَقَامُوا ثَلَاثًا، ] فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيِّ أَنْ أَخْبِرْ عِبَادِي أَنِّي قَدْ رَحِمْتُهُمْ، وَأَجَبْتُ دُعَاءَهُمْ، فَجَعَلْتُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِ هَذَا الْبَارِّ لِذَلِكَ الْجَائِرِ، وَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمْرِ الْجَائِرِ لِهَذَا الْبَارِّ. قَالَ: فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ، وَمَاتَ الْعَاقُّ لِتَمَامِ الثَّلَاثِ سِنِينَ، وَبَقِيَ الْعَادِلُ فِيهِمْ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ إِلا فِي كِتَابٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ. ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ الْمَنْصُورُ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدِّثْ بَنِي عَمِّكَ وَإِخْوَتِكَ بِحَدِيثِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ [بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ ] عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْبِرِّ. فَقَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: "مَا مِنْ مَلِكٍ يَصِلُ رَحِمَهُ وَذَا قُرْبَتِهِ وَيَعْدِلُ فِي رَعِيَّتِهِ إِلَّا شَيَّدَ اللَّهُ مُلْكَهُ، وَأَجْزَلَ لَهُ ثَوَابَهُ، وَأَكْرَمَ مَا بِهِ، وَخَفَّفَ حِسَابَهُ ". تُوُفِّيَ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ بِالْجُدَرِيِّ، وَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ الرَّشِيدُ لَيْلًا، وَدُفِنَ فِي بَابِ الْبَرْدَانِ، وَلَهُ إِحْدَى وَثَمَانُونَ سَنَةً. عَبَّادُ بْنُ

فَأَخَذَهُ هَارُونُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَحَبَسَهُ زَمَانًا، ثُمَّ خَلَّى عَنْهُ، فَأَقَامَ بِبَغْدَادَ، وَكَانَ يَنْزِلُ بِالْكَرْخِ عَلَى نَهْرِ الْبَزَّازِينَ. تُوُفِّيَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ. وَقِيلَ: فِي سَنَةِ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ. وَقِيلَ: فِي سَنَةِ تِسْعٍ. وَقِيلَ: فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثٍ. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، الْمَعْرُوفُ بِالْإِمَامِ، ابْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ

✧ Those of the notables who died in this year ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās. He narrated from his father. He was born in the year 104 AH, and he was of immense physical build, and there were extraordinary things about him: Among them: that Yazīd b. Muʿāwiyah performed the pilgrimage in the year 50 AH, and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad led the people in pilgrimage in the year 150 AH. Thus it was mentioned by Abū Bakr al-Khaṭīb. Al-Zubayr b. Bakkār said: Yazīd led the people in pilgrimage in the year 50 AH, and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad in the year 151 AH. Between their two pilgrimages there were [one hundred years according to al-Khaṭīb's statement, and they are equal in lineage back to ʿAbd Manāf, because Yazīd is the son of Muʿāwiyah b. Ṣakhr b. Ḥarb b. Umayyah b. ʿAbd Shams b. ʿAbd Manāf. And ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās b. ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib b. Hāshim b. ʿAbd Manāf]. Among them: that he was born in the year 104 AH, and died in the year 185 AH. His brother Muḥammad b. ʿAlī was born in the year 60 AH, and there were forty-four years between him and his brother in birth. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī died in the year 126 AH, and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad died in the year 185 AH, and there were fifty-nine years between them in death. Among them: that ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥārith was born during the time of the Messenger of God ﷺ, and he and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad are equal back to ʿAbd Manāf. Among them: that he lived to see [Abū] al-ʿAbbās, who was his nephew, and he lived to see al-Manṣūr, who was his nephew, then he lived to see al-Mahdī, who was the paternal uncle of his father, then he lived to see al-Hādī, who was the paternal uncle of his grandfather, then he lived to see al-Rashīd. One day he said to al-Rashīd: O Commander of the Faithful, this is a gathering in which there are the Commander of the Faithful, the paternal uncle of the Commander of the Faithful, the paternal uncle of his paternal uncle, and the paternal uncle of the paternal uncle of his paternal uncle. That is because Sulaymān b. Jaʿfar was the paternal uncle of al-Rashīd. Al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī was the paternal uncle of Sulaymān, and ʿAbd al-Ṣamad was the paternal uncle of al-ʿAbbās. Among them: that he died with the teeth with which he was born, and they had not changed, and his teeth were a single piece on the lower side. Among them: that two feathers flew into his eyes and his sight went away. From Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. Mūsā b. Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Imām, who said: My father narrated to me, saying: My grandfather Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Imām narrated to us—and he used to sit for his children and his children's children every Thursday, admonishing them and narrating to them—he said: Al-Manṣūr sent for me early in the morning, and the messenger hurried me, so we entered. There was al-Rabīʿ standing at the curtain, and al-Mahdī, the heir apparent, was sitting in the vestibule, and there were ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī, Dāwūd b. ʿAlī, Ismāʿīl b. ʿAlī, [Sulaymān b. ʿAlī], Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn, ʿAbd Allāh b. Ḥasan b. Ḥasan, and al-ʿAbbās b. Muḥammad. Al-Rabīʿ said: Sit with your cousins, so we sat. Then al-Rabīʿ entered and came out, and said to al-Mahdī: Enter, may God set you right. Then he came out and said: Enter all of you. [So we entered], greeted, and took our seats. He said to al-Rabīʿ: Bring inkwells and what they write in. He placed before each one of us an inkwell and paper, then he turned to ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī and said: O uncle, narrate to your children, your brothers, and the sons of your brother the ḥadīth of dutifulness and maintaining ties. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad b. ʿAlī said: My father narrated to me, from my grandfather ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Indeed dutifulness and maintaining ties prolong lifespans, populate dwellings, and increase wealth, even if the people are wicked." Then he said: O uncle, the other ḥadīth. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said: My father narrated to me, from my grandfather ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAbbās, who said: The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed dutifulness and maintaining ties lighten the evil of the reckoning on the Day of Resurrection." Then the Messenger of God ﷺ recited: "And those who join what God has commanded to be joined and fear their Lord and are afraid of the evil of the reckoning." Al-Manṣūr said: O uncle, the other ḥadīth. ʿAbd al-Ṣamad said: My father narrated to me, from my grandfather, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Among the Children of Israel there were two kings, brothers, over two cities. One of them was dutiful to his kin and just to his subjects, and the other was undutiful to his kin and unjust to his subjects. In their time there was a prophet, and God Almighty revealed to that prophet that there remained of the life of this dutiful one three years, and there remained of this undutiful one thirty years. He said: The prophet informed the subjects of this one and the subjects of that one, and that saddened the subjects of the just one and saddened the subjects of the unjust one. He said: They separated children from mothers, abandoned food and drink, and went out to the desert calling upon God to let them enjoy the just one and to remove from them the rule of the unjust one. [They stayed three days,] and God revealed to that prophet: Tell My servants that I have had mercy on them and answered their supplication, and I have made what remained of the life of this dutiful one for that unjust one, and what remained of the life of the unjust one for this dutiful one. He said: They returned to their homes, and the undutiful one died at the completion of the three years, and the just one remained among them thirty years.
