3. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn Abu ‘Ala’ who has said that
he heard Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say: “With me is the white Jafr.” The narrator has said that he asked the Imam (a.s.), “What is in it?” He replied, “In it there is the Psalms of David, the Torah of Moses, the Gospel of Jesus, the Books of Abraham, (the laws that explain) the lawful and unlawful matters and the Mushaf of Fatima (a.s.) in which, I do not claim that it includes anything from the Quran. In it there is all that people need us to do for them and so that we would not need any one else. In it there is information even about a lash, half of a lash and one fourth of a lash, and about the amount of compensation for a scratch caused to someone.
With me there is the red Jafr.” The narrator has said that he asked the Imam (a.s.), “What is in the red Jafr?” He replied, “In it there is the Armaments. It is because it only is opened for bloodshed. The owner of the sword opens it to kill.” The narrator has said that ‘Abdallah ibn Abu Ya‘fur asked the Imam (a.s.), “May Allah keep you well, do the descendents of al-Hasan (a.s.) know this? The Imam (a.s.) said, “Yes, I swear by Allah, they know it just as they know the night that it is night and the day that it is the day, but jealousy and worldly gains cause them to act in denial and rejection. Had they sought the truth with the truth, it would have been better for them.”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ عِنْدِي الْجَفْرَ الابْيَضَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ فِيهِ قَالَ زَبُورُ دَاوُدَ وَتَوْرَاةُ مُوسَى وَإِنْجِيلُ عِيسَى وَصُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَالْحَلالُ وَالْحَرَامُ وَمُصْحَفُ فَاطِمَةَ مَا أَزْعُمُ أَنَّ فِيهِ قُرْآناً وَفِيهِ مَا يَحْتَاجُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْنَا وَلا نَحْتَاجُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ حَتَّى فِيهِ الْجَلْدَةُ وَنِصْفُ الْجَلْدَةِ وَرُبُعُ الْجَلْدَةِ وَأَرْشُ الْخَدْشِ وَعِنْدِي الْجَفْرَ الاحْمَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ فِي الْجَفْرِ الاحْمَرِ قَالَ السِّلاحُ وَذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا يُفْتَحُ لِلدَّمِ يَفْتَحُهُ صَاحِبُ السَّيْفِ لِلْقَتْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الله بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ أَصْلَحَكَ الله أَ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا بَنُو الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ إِي وَالله كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ اللَّيْلَ أَنَّهُ لَيْلٌ وَالنَّهَارَ أَنَّهُ نَهَارٌ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَحْمِلُهُمُ الْحَسَدُ وَطَلَبُ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْجُحُودِ وَالانْكَارِ وَلَوْ طَلَبُوا الْحَقَّ بِالْحَقِّ لَكَانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ.
