Fura`t lies to me?" "May Allah drive him away and make him miserable!" said Yu`nus. The Ima`m, peace be on him, said: "Allah has done that toward him. May Allah make him taste the heat of the iron as He made those before him who lied to us taste (the heat of the iron). Yu`nus, I said that (bout him) that you may warn my companions against him, order them to curse and renounce him, for Allah has renounced him.

'Ali b. Isma'ïl al-Maythami narrated on the authority of Imam al-Rida, peace be on him, who said: "Mohammed b. Furat hurt me; may Allah hurt him and let him taste the heat of the iron! He hurt me; may Allah hurt him! Abu` al-Khattab, may Allah curse him, did not hurt Mohammed b. Ja'far, peace be on him, as Mohammed b. Furat hurt me. No Khata`bi lied to us as Mohammed b. Furat did. By Allah, Allah makes him who lies to us taste the heat of the iron.

The teacher hit him severely, but he refused to say that Allah was the third of the Trinity. Then he escaped because of the teacher and became Muslim at the hand of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him.
3 He returned to his house and knocked at the door, and they asked: "Who is it at the door?" "Ma'ru`f," he replied. "Which religion have you adopted?" they asked. "The True Religion," he answered. His parents as well as all his family became Muslims.
4 After he had become a Muslim, he became the chamberlain of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him. The Shï'ites crowded at the door of the Ima`m and they broke one of Maru`f's ribs. He remained ill for several days. Then ordered his shirt to be given as alms, for he wanted to come out of the world naked as he entered it naked.

May Allah have mercy on Ma'ru`f, for he was one of those unique in knowledge and reverential fear, and attained the highest rank due to the blessing of Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him.

Muqa`til, and he went on (following) his Ima`m (i.e. the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) in Ku`fa, so I said to him: 'Why have you hastened?' 'I have concerning that (i.e. concerning the Ima`mate of al-Rida`) a proof and knowledge,' he replied."
Al-Husayn (b. 'Amr b. Yazïd) said: "I asked Ima`m al-Rida`, peace be on him: 'Have your father passed away?' 'Yes,' he replied, 'by Allah, I am in the position where Allah's Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family, and the Commander of the faithful, peace be on him, were. Who is happier than me in the subsistence of my father?' Then he said: 'Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says:
And the foremost are the foremost, these are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah). Those who know the Ima`mate when the Ima`m appears.' Then he said: 'What has your brother done?' 'Who is it?' I asked. 'Muqa`til b. Muqa`til,' he answered, 'the one with flat face, long beard, bent nose.'

"He, peace be on him, added: 'As for me, I have not seen him yet; nor has he come in to me, but he has believed (in my Ima`mate) and is truthful.' Then he asked me to take care of him. Then I left the Ima`m, and suddenly there was Muqa`til before me, so I said to him: 'I have good news for you. I will not tell you of it unless you praise Allah one hundred times.' Then I told him about what the Ima`m, peace be on him, said."
Ima`m al-Khu`'i commented on this account, saying: "The account is clear that the man (i.e. Muqa`til b. Muqa`til) believed in the Ima`mate of al-Rida`, peace be on him. On the assumption that he was a Wa`qifite, he retreated from the creed of the Wa`qifites.

There was a short time between (saying) these words and his coming on Friday when it was hot. That was in Maru`. I asked him: 'Where have you come from?' 'From this,' he answered. 'From al-Ma'mu`n?' I asked him. 'No,' he replied. 'From al-Fadl b. Sahl?' I asked. 'No, from this,' he answered. 'Whom do you mean?' I asked. 'From 'Ali b. Mu`sa`,' he replied. 'Woe unto you!
