Hadith 1:

 مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطَّاطَرِيُّ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ سُوَيْدٍ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي قُلْتُ لَكَ إِنَّ الْقِتَالَ مَعَ غَيْرِ الإمَامِ الْمَفْرُوضِ طَاعَتُهُ حَرَامٌ مِثْلَ الْمَيْتَةِ وَالدَّمِ وَلَحْمِ الْخِنْزِيرِ فَقُلْتَ لِي هُوَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هُوَ كَذَلِكَ هُوَ كَذَلِكَ.

Narrated from Basheer al-Dahhan, I said to Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) that,  

I saw a dream in which I said to You, "Fighting alongside one who is not an Imam whose obedience is obligatory, is unlawful (Haram) just like consuming dead animals, blood and pork for food, and You said to me (in my dream), "That is how it is." 

Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) then said, "That is how it is. That is how it is."

Hadith 2:

From a sermon of Imam Ali (عليه السلام):

انْظُرُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ فَالْزَمُوا سَمْتَهُمْ(4)، وَاتَّبِعُوا أَثَرَهُمْ فَلَنْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ هُدىً، وَلَنْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي رَدىً، فَإِنْ لَبَدُوا فَالْبُدُوا(5)، وَإِنْ نَهَضُوا فَانْهَضُوا، وَلاَ تَسْبِقُوهُمْ فَتَضِلُّوا، وَلاَ تَتَأَخَّرُوا عَنْهُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا

"Look at the AhlulBayt of your Prophet. Adhere to their path/direction. Follow their footsteps because they would never let you out of guidance, and never throw you into destruction. If they sit down, you sit down, and if they rise, then you rise. Do not go ahead of them, as you would thereby go astray and do not lag-behind them for you would perish."

[Source: Nahjul Balagha – Sermon 97]

Hadith 3:

From a sermon of Imam Ali (عليه السلام):

الْزَمُوا الاَرْضَ(2)، وَاصْبِروُا عَلَى الْبَلاءِ، وَلاَ تُحرِّكُوا بأَيْدِيكُمْ وَسُيُوفِكُمْ [فِي ]هَوَى أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ، وَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوا بِمَا لَمْ يُعَجِّلْهُ اللهُ لَكُمْ، فَإِنّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَهُوَ عَلَى مَعْرِفَةِ حَقِّ رَبِّهِ عَزَّوَجَلّ وَحَقِّ رَسُولِهِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ مَاتَ شَهِيداً، وَوَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ، واسْتَوْجَبَ ثَوَابَ مَا نَوَى مِنْ صَالِحِ عَمَلِهِ، وَقَامَتِ النِّيَّةُ مَقَامَ إِصْلاَتِهِ لِسَيْفِهِ(3)، فإِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْء مُدَّةً وَأَجَلاً

"Stick to the earth, and be patient in trials, do not move/instigate your hands and your swords based on the desires of your tongues, and do not make haste in matters in which Allah has not hastened for you, because any one of you who dies in his bed having recognition (Marefat) of the rights of Allah and the rights of His Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله) and the Prophets AhlulBayt (عليهم السلام), dies as a martyr (shaheed) and his reward is upon Allah. He is also deserving the recompense of the good acts he had intended to do, and his intention is counted as his drawing his sword. Certainly, for everything there is a time and a term."

Hadith 4:

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ ع:  يَا عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ مَا لِي لا أَرَاكَ تَخْرُجُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْمَوَاضِعِ الَّتِي يَخْرُجُ إِلَيْهَا أَهْلُ بِلادِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَأَيْنَ فَقَالَ جُدَّةُ وَعَبَّادَانُ وَالْمَصِّيصَةُ وَقَزْوِينُ فَقُلْتُ انْتِظَاراً لأمْرِكُمْ وَالاقْتِدَاءِ بِكُمْ فَقَالَ إِي وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَ خَيْراً مَا سَبَقُونَا إِلَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ الزَّيْدِيَّةَ يَقُولُونَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ جَعْفَرٍ خِلافٌ إِلا أَنَّهُ لا يَرَى الْجِهَادَ فَقَالَ أَنَا لا أَرَاهُ بَلَى وَاللهِ إِنِّي لأرَاهُ وَلَكِنْ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَدَعَ عِلْمِي إِلَى جَهْلِهِمْ 

Narrated from Abd al-Malik bin Amr that Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said:

"O Abd al-Malik, how is it that I do not see you go to these places where the people of your town go?" 

I (the narrator) said, "Which places do you mean?"

The Imam (عليه السلام) said, "Juddah, Abbadan, al-Massisah and Qazwin." 

I (the narrator) said, "Because I am waiting for Your command and following You."

The Imam (عليه السلام) said, "Yes - by Allah. If there was anything good in it they (non-shia) would not have preceded there before Us."

I (the narrator) said, "al-Zaydiyah group says, "There is no difference between us and Jafar (عليه السلام), except that He does not consider Jihad (as necessary)." 

The Imam (عليه السلام) said, "Do I not consider it? By Allah, I do consider it, but I dislike leaving My knowledge to their ignorance."

Hadith 5:

محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى عن إبراهيم بن هاشم عن علي بن سعيد عن واصل عن عبد الله بن سنان قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) جعلت فداك ما تقول في هؤلاء الذين يقتلون في هذه الثغور؟ قال: فقال: الويل يتعجلون قتلة في الدنيا وقتلة في الآخرة، والله ما الشهيد إلا شيعتنا ولو ماتوا على فرشهم 

Narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinaan who said, 

"I asked Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام), ‘May I be sacrificed for You. What do You say about those killed on these frontiers?"

Imam (عليه السلام) said, "Woe (unto them)! They have been hastened to being killed in this world and being killed in the Hereafter. By Allah, None is a martyr (shaheed), except our Shias, even if they die in their beds."

[Source: Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaikh Toosi, Vol. 6, Pg. 125]

Similar hadith found in al-Mahasin:

عنه، عن إبراهيم بن إسحاق، عن عبد الله بن حماد، عن أبان بن تغلب قال كان أبو عبد الله عليه السلام إذا ذكر هؤلاء الذين يقتلون في الثغور يقول: ويلهم ما يصنعون بهذا؟ يتعجلون قتلة في الدنيا وقتلة في الآخرة، والله ما الشهداء الا شيعتنا و إن ماتوا على فراشهم 

Narrated said Aban ibn Taghlub said,

"Whenever Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام), mentioned those who were killed on the borders/frontiers, He would say: Woe to them! What are they doing with this? They are hastening to be killed in this world and being killed in the hereafter. By Allah, None is a martyr (shaheed), except our Shias, even if they die in their beds."

Hadith 6:

حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد، عن بعض رجاله، عن علي بن عمارة الكناني، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان، عن أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال : قال: قلت له (عليه السلام): أوصني؟ فقال: أوصيك بتقوى الله، وأن تلزم بيتك وتقعد في دهماء هؤلاء الناس، وإياك والخوارج منا فإنهم ليسوا على شئ ولا إلى شئ، واعلم أن لبني أمية ملكا لا يستطيع الناس أن تردعه، وأن لأهل الحق دولة إذا جاءت ولاها الله لمن يشاء منا أهل البيت، فمن أدركها منكم كان عندنا في السنام الأعلى، وإن قبضه الله قبل ذلك خار له، واعلم أنه لا تقوم عصابة تدفع ضيما أو تعز دينا إلا صرعتهم المنية والبلية حتى تقوم عصابة شهدوا بدرا مع رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لا يوارى قتيلهم، ولا يرفع صريعهم، ولا يداوي جريحهم . قلت: من هم؟ قال الملائكة 

Narrated that Abu Jarood said to Imam Baqir (عليه السلام), "Advice me"

Imam Baqir (عليه السلام) said, "I advise you to fear Allah, to stay in your home and sit among the common people, and beware of the rebelling ones from amoung Us (i.e. referring to the Zaydiyah), for they are upon nothing (of the truth) and towards nothing. 

And know that the Banu Umayyah have a kingdom that people cannot repel, and that the people of truth will have a state/government, when it comes, and Allah will entrust it to whomever He wishes from among Us - the AhlulBayt (عليهم السلام). Whoever of you lives to see it will be with us on the highest peak, and if Allah makes him die before that then that was chosen for him. 

And know that no group will arise to repel injustice or to exalt religion except that death and calamity will strike them until a group arises who witnessed Badr with the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وآله), and their dead will not be buried, nor their wounded treated."

I (the narrator) said, "Who are they?"

The Imam said, "The angels."

 أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد، قال: حدثنا حميد بن زياد الكوفي، قال: حدثنا علي بن الصباح بن الضحاك، عن جعفر بن محمد بن سماعة، عن سيف التمار، عن أبي المرهف، قال: " قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): هلكت المحاضير. قال: قلت: وما المحاضير؟ قال: المستعجلون، ونجا المقربون، وثبت الحصن على أوتادها، كونوا أحلاس بيوتكم، فإن الغبرة على من أثارها، وأنهم لا يريدونكم بجائحة إلا أتاهم الله بشاغل إلا من تعرض لهم 

Narrated that Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said,

"The hasteners have perished." 

I (the narrator) said: And who are the hasteners? 

The Imam said: "Those who are impatient, and the near ones will be saved, and the fortress will remain firm on its stakes. Remain in your homes, since the trials will fall upon those who cause it, and they do not intend upon you any calamity except that Allah will keep them occupied (away from you), except for those who oppose/raise/interfere-with them."

Hadith 8:

Narrated as part of the narration detailing how the supplications in Saheefah al-Sajjadiyah reached us:

ثم قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ما خرج ولا يخرج منا أهل البيت إلى قيام قائمنا أحد ليدفع ظلما أو ينعش حقا إلا اصطلمته البلية وكان قيامه زيادة في مكروهنا وشيعتنا

Then Abu Abd-Allah Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) said,

"No one from Our household has risen/revolted (in the past) or will rise (in the future) until the rising of Our Qaim (عليه السلام), to repet an injustice or to revive/raise a right, except that calamity has destroyed/uprooted him and his rising has increased Our problem/suffering and of our Shia."

Hadith 9:

Narrated from Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) as part of a lengthy narration:

يا ابن النعمان إذا كانت دولة الظلم فامش واستقبل من تتقيه بالتحية، فإن المتعرض للدولة قاتل نفسه وموبقها، إن الله يقول: " ولا تلقوا بأيديكم إلى التهلكة

"O son of Nu'man, if the state/rule/government is that of oppression (zulm), then step forward and meet whom you fear with greeting. Indeed, he who stands up against (opposes/objects) the state is killing himself and destroying his own self. For Allah says, "And do not throw yourselves with your own hands into destruction." (2:195)
