Tafseer Al Qummi – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Sabit, from Al hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Wuheyb Bin Hafs, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Surely the Quran is a Deterrent, and an Instructor. It Instructs with the Paradise and Deters from the Fire, and in it as Decisive (Verses) and Allegorical. As for the Decisive, so believe in it and act with it and make a Religion with it, and as for the Allegorical, believe in it and do not act with it.
وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ ما تَشابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَ ابْتِغاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَ ما يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنا وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص.
And it is the Word of Allah-azwj: ‘Then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, so they are following what is allegorical from it, seeking the Fitna and seeking its (personal) interpretation. And none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge. They are saying, ‘We believe in it. It is all from the Presence of our Lord’. [3:7]’’.[12]
13- فس، تفسير القمي قالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ إِنَّ الْخِزْيَ الْيَوْمَ وَ السُّوءَ عَلَى الْكافِرِينَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ الْأَئِمَّةُ ع.
Tafseer Al Qummi – Those Given the knowledge would say: ‘Today the disgrace and the evil is upon the Kafirs’ [16:27] – he said, ‘Those Given the knowledge are the Imams-asws’’.[13] (Not a Hadeeth)
14- فس، تفسير القمي وَ يَرَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ هُوَ الْحَقَ قَالَ هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع صَدَّقَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – And those Given the Knowledge do see that which is Revealed unto you from your Lord, as being the Truth [34:6]. He said, ‘He is Amir Al Momineen-asws ratifying Rasool-Allah-saww with what Allah-azwj had Revealed upon him’’.[14]
15- فس، تفسير القمي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَفْضَلُ الرَّاسِخِينَ فِي الْعِلْمِ فَقَدْ عَلِمَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ التَّأْوِيلِ وَ مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يُعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيلَ وَ أَوْصِيَاؤُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ يَعْلَمُونَهُ كُلَّهُ
Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Uzina, from Bureyd,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww is the most superior of the ones immersed in the knowledge. He-saww had known the entirety of what Allah-azwj had Revealed upon him-saww, from the revelation and the explanation, and it had never been for Allah-azwj to Reveal something upon him-saww not Teaching him-saww the explanation, and his-saww successors-asws from after him-saww, know it, all of it’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ أَبَا الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِيكُمْ قَوْلًا عَظِيماً قَالَ وَ مَا كَانَ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ الْقُرْآنِ [فَقَالَ عِلْمُ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ الْقُرْآنِ] يَسِيرٌ فِي جَنْبِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي يَحْدُثُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Abu Al-Khattab was saying grievous words regarding you (Imams-asws)’. He-asws said: ‘And what was he saying?’ I said, ‘He said, you-asws are knowing the knowledge of the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions, and the Quran, a little bit in the side of the knowledge which occurs by the night and the day’’. (Incomplete Hadeeth)
رَوَاهُ فِي الِاخْتِصَاصِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع كَلَامٌ قَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ اعْرِضْهُ عَلَيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَقُولُ إِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ الْحَلَالَ وَ الْحَرَامَ وَ فَصْلَ مَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
It is reported in (the book) ‘Al Ikhtisas’ –
‘From Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A speech I have heard from Abu Al-Khattab’. He-asws said: ‘Present it to me-asws’. I said, ‘He is saying you (Imams-asws) do know the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions and are separating what is between the people’.
فَسَكَتَ فَلَمَّا أَرَدْتُ الْقِيَامَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عِلْمُ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ يَسِيرٌ فِي جَنْبِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي يَحْدُثُ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ.
He-asws was silent. When I intended to arise, he-asws grabbed my hand and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Knowledge of the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions is little in the side of the knowledge which (newly) occurs during the night and the day’’.[15]
16- فس، تفسير القمي بَلْ هُوَ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ قَالَ هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ ع وَ ما يَجْحَدُ بِآياتِنا يَعْنِي مَا يَجْحَدُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – But these are clear Verses in the chests of those Granted the Knowledge, [29:49]. He said, ‘They are the Imams-asws. and none deny Our Signs – meaning fight against Amir Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, except for the unjust [29:49]’’.[16] (Not a Hadeeth)
17- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى تِلْكَ آياتُ اللَّهِ نَتْلُوها عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِ وَ ما يَعْقِلُها إِلَّا الْعالِمُونَ قَالَ زَيْدٌ نَحْنُ هُمْ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ بَلْ هُوَ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَ ما يَجْحَدُ بِآياتِنا إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ.
Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Musa who said,
‘I heard Zayd son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) saying regarding the Words of the Exalted: These are the Verses of Allah: We Recite these upon you with the Truth [2:252] and none understand these except for the learned ones [29:43]. Zayd said, ‘We are they’. Then he recited this Verse: But these are clear Verses in the chests of those Granted the Knowledge, and none deny Our Signs except for the unjust [29:49]’’.[17]
18- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلَّامٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ خَيْثَمَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى بَلْ هُوَ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ وَ ما يَجْحَدُ بِآياتِنا إِلَّا الظَّالِمُونَ فَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَهُ أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِيكُمْ خَاصَّةً وَ أَنَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ أُوتِيتُمُ الْعِلْمَ
Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ali Bin Muhammad Al Zuhry, raising it to Zayd Bin Sallam Al Jufy who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws and I said to him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you-asws well! Khaysama narrated to me from you-asws that he asked about the Words of the Exalted: But these are clear Verses in the chests of those Granted the Knowledge, and none deny Our Signs except for the unjust [29:49], and narrated to me that you-saww narrated to him that it has been Revealed regarding you (Imams-asws) in particular, and you-asws are the ones Given the knowledge’.
قَالَ صَدَقَ وَ اللَّهِ خَيْثَمَةُ لَهَكَذَا حَدَّثْتُهُ.
He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! Khaysama spoke the truth. I-asws did narrate it like that’’.[18]

Tafseer al Ayyashi – From Malik Al Juhny who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Surely We Revealed the Torah wherein is Guidance and Light. – up to His-azwj Words: they had preserved from the Book of Allah, [5:44]. He-asws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding us-asws’’.[19]

We-asws are the people-asws Allah-azwj Obligated obedience to us-asws, and the war booty is for us-asws and for us-asws is the clean wealth, and we-asws are those who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge.

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Abu Al Qasim Al Kufi said,
‘It is reported regarding His-azwj Words: but none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in knowledge [3:7]. The ones firmly rooted in knowledge are the ones the Rasool-saww paired them with the Book, and he-saww informed that: ‘These two will never separate until they return to me-saww at the Fountain’.
وَ فِي اللُّغَةِ الرَّاسِخُ هُوَ اللَّازِمُ الَّذِي لَا يَزُولُ عَنْ حَالِهِ وَ لَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَلِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ طَبَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِلْمِ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ نُشُوئِهِ كَعِيسَى فِي وَقْتِ وِلَادَتِهِ قالَ إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ آتانِيَ الْكِتابَ الْآيَةَ
And in the language, ‘firmly rooted), it is the necessary which does not move from its state, and that will never happen except the one Allah-azwj Impresses upon the knowledge in the beginning of his growth, like Isa-as during his-as birth: He said: ‘I am a servant of Allah; He Gave me the Book and Made me a Prophet [19:30] – the Verse.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ يَبْقَى السِّنِينَ الْكَثِيرَةَ لَا يَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ فَيَنَالُهُ مِنْ جِهَةِ غَيْرِهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَنَالَهُ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الرَّاسِخِينَ يُقَالُ رَسَخَتْ عُرُوقُ الشَّجَرِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا يَرْسَخُ إِلَّا صَغِيراً
As for the one who lives for many years not knowing, then seeks the knowledge, and attains it from another aspect upon a measurement of what is allowed him to avail from it, so that one isn’t from the ones firmly rooted. It is said, ‘being firmly rooted’ is a root of the tree in the ground, and it is not firmly rooted except as young.
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمُ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ دُونَنَا كَذِباً وَ بَغْياً عَلَيْنَا وَ حَسَداً لَنَا أَنْ رَفَعَنَا اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ وَضَعَهُمْ وَ أَعْطَانَا وَ حَرَمَهُمْ وَ أَدْخَلَنَا وَ أَخْرَجَهُمْ بِنَا يُسْتَعْطَى الْهُدَى وَ يُسْتَجْلَى الْعَمَى لَا بِهِمْ.
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Where are those claiming that they are the ones firmly rooted in the knowledge besides us-asws, lying and rebelling against us-asws, and in envy to us-asws? Allah-azwj the Glorious has Raised us-asws and Dropped them, and Gave us-asws and Deprived them, and Included us-asws and Expelled them. By us-asws the guidance is given and the blindness is removed, not by them’’.[54]

1- فس، تفسير القمي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِنا صُمٌّ وَ بُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُماتِ مَنْ يَشَأِ اللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَ مَنْ يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
Tafseer Al Qummi – Ja’far Bin Ahmad, from Abdul Kareem, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj: And those who are belying our Signs are deaf and dumb in the darkness. One whom Allah so Desires to, Lets him stray, and one He so Desires to, Makes him to be upon the Straight Path [6:39].
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع نَزَلَتْ فِي الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا فِي أَوْصِيَائِهِمْ صُمٌّ وَ بُكْمٌ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي الظُّلُماتِ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِبْلِيسَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُصَدِّقُ بِالْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ لَا يُؤْمِنُ بِهِمْ أَبَداً وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَضَلَّهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ وُلْدِ آدَمَ آمَنَ بِالْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ هُمْ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding those who belied regarding their-as successors-as, being deaf and dumb just as Allah-azwj said, being in the darkness. One who was from the children of Iblees-la, so he will not be ratifying the successors-asws nor believe in them-asws, ever, and they are those Allah-azwj has Let to stray, and the one who was from the children of Adam-as would believe in the Successors-asws, and they are upon the Straight Path’.
قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِنا كُلِّها فِي بَطْنِ الْقُرْآنِ أَنْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْأَوْصِيَاءِ كُلِّهِمْ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard him-asws saying: They belied Our Signs, all of them, [54:42]. In the esoteric (meaning) of the Quran, they belied the successors-asws, all of them’’.[56]
2- فس، تفسير القمي وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ آياتِنا غافِلُونَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَا لِلَّهِ آيَةٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي.
Tafseer Al Qummi – and those who are heedless of Our Signs [10:7]. He said, ‘Amir Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, and the evidence upon that is the word of Amir Al Momineen-asws: ‘There is no Sign of Allah-azwj greater than I-asws’’.[57] (Not a Hadeeth)
3- فس، تفسير القمي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ ما تُغْنِي الْآياتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ الْآيَاتُ الْأَئِمَّةُ وَ النُّذُرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from MOalla Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Umayya Bin Ali, from Dawood Bin Kaseer Al Raqy who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj: and the Signs and the warners do not avail a people not believing [10:101]. He-asws said: ‘The Signs are the Imams-asws and the warners are the Prophets-as’’.[58]
4- فس، تفسير القمي فَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِنا قَالَ وَ لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِوَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع فَأُولئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ مُهِينٌ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – So those who believe and are doing righteous deeds will be in Gardens of Bliss [22:56] And those who commit Kufr and belie Our Signs, , he said, ‘And do not believe in the Wilayat of Amir Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, then they, for them would be a humiliating Punishment [22:57]’’.[59] (Not a Hadeeth)
5- فس، تفسير القمي سَيُرِيكُمْ آياتِهِ فَتَعْرِفُونَها قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ ع إِذَا رَجَعُوا يَعْرِفُهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُهُمْ إِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – He will Show you His Signs, [27:93]. He said, ‘Amir Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, when they-asws return, their-asws enemies would recognise them-asws when they see them-asws’’.[60] (Not a Hadeeth)
6- فس، تفسير القمي إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْناقُهُمْ لَها خاضِعِينَ- فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تُخْضِعُ رِقَابَهُمْ يَعْنِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ هِيَ الصَّيْحَةُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِاسْمِ صَاحِبِ الْأَمْرِ ع.
Tafseer Al Qummi – If We Desired to, We would Send down upon them a Sign from the sky, so their necks would be humbled to it [26:4]. It was narrated to me by my father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Their necks would be humbled, meaning of the clan of Umayya, and it is the Scream from the sky with the name of the Master-asws of the command (Al-Qaim-asws)’’.[61]
7- فس، تفسير القمي بَلْ هُوَ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ فِي صُدُورِ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ قَالَ هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ ع قَوْلُهُ وَ ما يَجْحَدُ بِآياتِنا يَعْنِي مَا يَجْحَدُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع إِلَّا الْكافِرُونَ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – But these are clear Verses in the chests of those Granted the Knowledge [29:49]. He said, ‘These are the Imams-asws. His-azwj Words: And none fight against Our Signs – meaning none fight against Ami Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, except for the Kafirs [29:47]’’.[62] (Not a Hadeeth)
8- فس، تفسير القمي كِتابٌ أَنْزَلْناهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّرُوا آياتِهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ ع وَ لِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ فَهُمْ أَهْلُ الْأَلْبَابِ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – (It is) a Blessed Book We Revealed to you, so they may ponder over its Signs – Amir Al Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, and the ones of understanding would take heed [38:29], thus they are the ones of understanding’’.[63] (Not a Hadeeth)
9- فس، تفسير القمي فَأُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ بِما كانُوا بِآياتِنا يَظْلِمُونَ قَالَ بِالْأَئِمَّةِ يَجْحَدُونَ.
Tafseer Al Qummi – so they are those who would have incurred losses upon themselves due to their being unjust to Our Signs [7:9], he said, ‘With the Imams-asws they rejected’’.[64] (Not a Hadeeth)
10- شي، تفسير العياشي عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ما نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِها نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْها أَوْ مِثْلِها فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا مَا هَكَذَا هِيَ إِذَا كَانَ يَنْسَخُهَا وَ يَأْتِ بِمِثْلِهَا لَمْ يَنْسَخْهَا
Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Umar Bin Yazeed who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj: Whatever We Abrogate from a Verse or Cause it to be forgotten, We Come with better than it or similar to it [2:106], so he-asws said: ‘They are lying! It is not like this! When He-azwj has Abrogated it and Comes with similar to it, so He-azwj did not Abrogate it’.
قُلْتُ هَكَذَا قَالَ اللَّهُ قَالَ لَيْسَ هَكَذَا قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ قَالَ قَالَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا أَلِفٌ وَ لَا وَاوٌ قَالَ مَا نَنْسَخْ مِنْ آيَةٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهَا نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهَا مِثْلِهَا يَقُولُ مَا نميت [نُمِتْ] مِنْ إِمَامٍ أَوْ نُنْسِهِ ذِكْرَهُ نَأْتِ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْهُ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ مِثْلِهِ.
I said, ‘Like this (is how) Allah-azwj Said!’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted didn’t Say it like this’. I said, ‘So how (did He-azwj Say it)?’ He-asws said: ‘There isn’t in it, neither an ‘Alif’ nor a ‘Waaw’. He-azwj Said: Whatever We Abrogate from a Verse or Cause it to be forgotten, We Come with better than it, similar to it [2:106]. He-azwj is Saying: “Whatever We-azwj Cause from an Imam-asws to pass away, or Cause His-azwj mention to be forgotten, We-azwj Come with better than him-asws from his-as lineage, similar to him-asws’’.[65]

He-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws’ – and others are Allegorical., he-asws said: ‘So and so, and so and so, and so and so, Then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, so they are following what is allegorical from it, seeking the Fitna and seeking its (personal) interpretation. And none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge. [3:7], and they are Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws’’.[67]

Tafseer Al Qummi – Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat, from Ibn Ameyra, from Abdul A’ala Bin Ayn who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘the ones who believed in Allah and the Last Day [65:2], they should not sit in any gathering in which an Imam-asws is reviled or a Muslim is backbit in it. Allah-azwj is Saying in His-azwj Book: And when you see those engaging in vanities regarding Our Signs, – with the unjust people [6:68]’’.[68]

I have not known you-asws except as being most knowing with Allah-azwj, and in the Mother of the Book: Ali, a Wise man [43:4], and in your-asws chest, Allah-azwj is Great’’.[75]
باب 12 أن من اصطفاه الله من عباده و أورثه كتابه هم الأئمة ع و أنهم آل إبراهيم و أهل دعوته
CHAPTER 12 – ONES WHOM ALLAH-azwj CHOSE FROM HIS-azwj SERVANTS, THEY ARE THE IMAMS-asws, AND THEY-asws ARE THE PROGENY OF IBRAHIM-as AND THE PEOPLE OF HIS-as CALLING
الآيات آل عمران إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
The Verses – (Surah) Aal-Imran: Surely Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34]
فاطر ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنا مِنْ عِبادِنا فَمِنْهُمْ ظالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَ مِنْهُمْ سابِقٌ بِالْخَيْراتِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْكَبِيرُ
(Surah) Fatir: Then We Gave the Book as an inheritance to those We Chose from among Our servants. So, for them is one who is unjust to himself, and from them is a moderate one, and from them is one who precedes with the deeds of goodness by the Permission of Allah. That, it is the greatest merit [35:32].
وَ يُؤَيِّدُهُ مَا وَرَدَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ فِي الْآيَةِ أَمَّا السَّابِقُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ وَ أَمَّا الْمُقْتَصِدُ فَ يُحاسَبُ حِساباً يَسِيراً وَ أَمَّا الظَّالِمُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَيُحْبَسُ فِي الْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ.
And it is supported by what is reported in the Hadeeth from Abu Al Darda’a who said,
‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying regarding the Verse. As for the preceding one, so he would enter the Paradise without any Reckoning, and as for the moderate ones, he would be Reckoned with an easy Reckoning, and as for the one unjust to himself, he would be withheld in the place, then he would enter the Paradise. They are those And they shall say, ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Removed the grief from us. [35:34]’.
وَ رَوَى أَصْحَابُنَا عَنْ مُيَسِّرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الظَّالِمُ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ حَقَّ الْإِمَامِ وَ الْمُقْتَصِدُ مِنَّا الْعَارِفُ بِحَقِّ الْإِمَامِ وَ السَّابِقُ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ هُوَ الْإِمَامُ وَ هَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ.
And it reported by our companions, from Maysar Bin Abdul Aziz,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘The one who is unjust to himself-asws from us, is one who does not recognise the right of the Imam-asws, and the moderate ones from us-asws is a recogniser of the right of the Imam-asws, and the one preceding with the goodness, he-asws is the Imam-asws, and they, all of them are Forgiven’’.

And from Ziyad Bin Al Munzir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘As for the one who is unjust to himself from us-asws,(our shias) is the one who does one righteous deed and another evil one. [9:102], and as for the moderate one, he is worshipper, the diligent, and as for the one preceding with the good, is Ali-asws and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and the ones-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww killed as martyrs’.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the Seyyid Bin Tawoos, in the boo of Sa’ad Al Soud, from Tafseer of Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Bin Marwan who said, ‘It was narrated to us by Ali Bin Abdullah Bin Asad from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Saeed, from Is’haq bin Yazeed Al Fara’a, from Ghalib Al Hamdany, from Abu Is’haq Al Sabie who said,
‘I went out for Hajj and I met Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws.

What do your people say about it?’ Meaning the people of Al-Kufa. He said, ‘I said, ‘They are saying that it is for them’. He-asws said: ‘Then what are they fearing if they were all from the people of the Paradise?’

I said, ‘So what are you-asws saying, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘It is for us-asws especially – O Abu Is’haq – As for one who precedes with the deeds of goodness, so it is Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and the Imams-asws from us-asws. And, from them is a moderate one, he is the one who Fasts by the day, and arises (to Pray) by the night. And, one who is unjust to himself, so it is regarding what is among the people, and he is Forgiven for it.

Preserve my-saww bequest and discharge my-saww responsibilities, and be loyal to my-saww covenant, and fulfil my-saww promises made, and pay off my-saww debts, and revive my-saww Sunnah, and call to my-saww Religion, because Allah-azwj the Exalted Chose me-asws and Selected me-asws.
فَذَكَرْتُ دَعْوَةَ أَخِي مُوسَى فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَ اجْعَلْ لِي وَزِيراً مِنْ أَهْلِي كَمَا جَعَلْتَ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيَّ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً وَزِيرُكَ وَ نَاصِرُكَ وَ الْخَلِيفَةُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ

You-asws are all the guides of guidance, and the pious ones, and the tree of which I-saww am its root and you-asws are its branches. So, the one who adheres with it, would attain salvation, and one who stays behind from it, would be destroyed and collapse; and you-asws are those Allah-azwj the Exalted has Obligated your-asws cordiality and your-asws Wilayah.

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When the Prophet-hood of Muhammad-saww came to an end, and his-saww days were completed, Allah-azwj Revealed: “O Muhammad-saww! Your-saww Prophet-hood has come to an end, and your-saww days are completed, therefore make the Knowledge which is in your-saww possession, from the Eman and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Knowledge, and the effects of the Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to be into the posterity from your-saww offspring, just as I-azwj have not Cut-off from the Households of the Prophets-as who used to be in between you-saww and your-saww father-as Adam-as”.
وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And these are the Words of Allah-azwj Surely Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34].
وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ جَهْلًا وَ لَمْ يَكِلْ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لَا إِلَى مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ لَا إِلَى نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ وَ لَكِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ رُسُلًا مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا
And Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted never Makes the Knowledge to be among the ignorant ones, and never Allocates His-azwj Command to anyone from His-azwj creatures, not even to an Angel of Proximity, and not to a Messenger Prophet-as, but He-azwj Sends Rasools from His-azwj Angels and Said to him: “Say such and such”.
يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِمَا يَجِبُ وَ يَنْهَاهُمْ عَمَّا يُكْرَهُ فَقَصَّ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ بِعِلْمٍ فَعَلِمَ ذَلِكَ الْعِلْمَ وَ عَلَّمَ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ وَ أَصْفِيَاءَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأَعْوَانِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظِيماً
Allah-azwj Commanded them with what He-azwj Loves and Prohibited them from what He-azwj Abhors. So He-azwj Related to them the affairs of His-azwj creatures by the Knowledge. So He-azwj Taught that Knowledge, and Taught His-azwj Prophets-as, and His-azwj specials ones from the Prophets-as, and the brothers, and the descendants who were one from another, so that is the Statement of the Majestic and Mighty: But indeed We have given to Ibrahim’s children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom [4:54].
فَأَمَّا الْكِتَابُ فَهُوَ النُّبُوَّةُ وَ أَمَّا الْحِكْمَةُ فَهُمُ الْحُكَمَاءُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فِي الصَّفْوَةِ وَ أَمَّا الْمُلْكُ الْعَظِيمُ فَهُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَاةُ فِي الصَّفْوَةِ وَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ الَّتِي جَعَلَ فِيهِمُ الْبَقِيَّةَ وَ فِيهِمُ الْعَاقِبَةُ وَ حِفْظُ الْمِيثَاقِ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِيَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لِلْعُلَمَاءِ وَ لِوُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ الِاسْتِنْبَاطُ لِلْعِلْمِ وَ الْهِدَايَةِ.
So, as for the Book, it is the Prophet-hood, and as for the Wisdom, so they-as are the wise ones from the Prophets-as from the elite, and as for the Great Kingdom, so they-asws are the Imams-asws of the guidance from the elite, and all of these are from the descendants who were one from the other, among whom-asws the remnants were Made to be, and among them-asws is the eventual end , and the preservation of the Covenant until the world comes to an end, and the Knowledgeable ones-asws and along with the Guardians-asws of the Command (Wali Al-Amr) (comes to an end) the extraction (Al-Istinbaat) of the Knowledge and the Guidance’’.[121]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Abu Abdul Rahman, from Abu Kaladah,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The comfort, and the rest, and the Mercy, and the Help, and the ease, and the serenity, and the pleasure, and the contentment, and the way out, and the success, and the nearness, and the love is from Allah-azwj and from His-azwj Rasool-saww for the ones who love Ali-asws, and takes as Imams-asws the successors-asws from after him-asws.
حَقّاً عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُمْ فِي شَفَاعَتِي وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى رَبِّي أَنْ يَسْتَجِيبَ لِي فِيهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَتْبَاعِي وَ مَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي
They have a right upon me-saww that I-saww include them in my-saww intercession, and a right upon my-saww Lord-azwj that He-azwj Answers me-saww regarding them, because they are my-saww followers, and the one who follows me-saww, he is from me-saww.
مَثَلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَرَى فِيَّ لِأَنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ وَ دِينُهُ دِينِي وَ دِينِي دِينُهُ وَ سُنَّتُهُ سُنَّتِي وَ سُنَّتِي سُنَّتُهُ وَ فَضْلِي فَضْلُهُ وَ أَنَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ وَ فَضْلِي لَهُ فَضْلٌ وَ ذَلِكَ تَصْدِيقُ قَوْلِ رَبِّي ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ.
And example of Ibrahim flows in me-saww because he-as is from me-saww and I-saww am from him-as, and his-as Religion is my-saww Religion and my-saww Religion is his-as Religion, and his-as Sunnah is my-saww Sunnah, and my-saww Sunnah is his-as Sunnah, and my-saww merit is his-as merit and I-saww am superior than him-as, and my-saww merit is for him-as a merit, and that is ratified in the Words of my-saww Lord-azwj: Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34]’’.[122]

He-asws said to me: ‘And the words ‘Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’. They have deleted it and left (the words) the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran’’.[123]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Abu Amro Al Bazanty,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘What is the argument in the Book of Allah-azwj that the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, they-asws are the People-asws of his-saww Household?’
قَالَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ وَ لَا يَكُونُ الذُّرِّيَّةُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا نَسْلَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْلَابِهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘The Words of Allah-azwj and Exalted: Surely Allah Chose Adam and Noah and the Progeny of Ibrahim and the Progeny of Imran and the Progeny of Muhammad above the nations – that is how it was Revealed: above the nations [3:33] Offspring one from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. And the offspring does not come about from the people except in their lineages from their lineages’.
وَ قَالَ اعْمَلُوا آلَ داوُدَ شُكْراً وَ قَلِيلٌ مِنْ عِبادِيَ الشَّكُورُ وَ آلُ عِمْرَانَ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ.
And Said: And he-asws said: ‘Work gratefully, family of Dawood, and a few from My servants are grateful [34:13], and the Progeny of Imran and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.[124]

‘I read in the parchment of Abdullah Bin Masoud: Surely Allah Chose Adam and Noah and the Progeny of Ibrahim and the Progeny of Imran and the Progeny of Muhammad above the nations [3:33]’’.[125]

(Surah) Al Shura: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. And one who earns good, We will Increase the good for him therein. Surely, Allah is Forgiving, Grateful [42:23].
NOTES –
قال ابن عباس عيروا رسول الله ص بكثرة تزوج النساء و قالوا لو كان نبيا لشغلته النبوة عن تزوج النساء فنزلت الآية.
Ibn Abbas said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was criticised (by people) due to the lot of marriages with the women and they said, ‘If he-saww was a Prophet-saww, the Prophet-hood would have pre-occupied him-saww from marrying the women’. So, this Verse was Revealed’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ قَالَ نَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ ذُرِّيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.
And it is reported, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws recited this Verse, then gestured to his-asws chest and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! We-asws are the offspring of Rasool-Allah-saww’’.
الْحِيرِيِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الضُّبَعِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ السَّرِيِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيِّ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْأَشْتَرِ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ ابْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً الْآيَةَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ أُمِرْنَا بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ وُلْدُهُمَا.
Al Heyri, from Abu Al Abbas Al Subaie, from Al Hassan Bin Ziyad al Sary, from Yahya Bin Abdul Hameed Al Himmani, from Husayn Al Ashtar, from Qays, from Al Amsh, from Ibn Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘When it was Revealed: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, [42:23] – the Verse, they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who are they, those we are Commanded with their cordiality?’ He-saww said: ‘Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws and their-asws children’’.
وَ أَخْبَرَنَا السَّيِّدُ أَبُو الْحَمْدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي كِتَابِ شَوَاهِدِ التَّنْزِيلِ مَرْفُوعاً إِلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ مِنْ أَشْجَارٍ شَتَّى وَ خُلِقْتُ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَأَنَا أَصْلُهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ثِمَارُهَا وَ أَشْيَاعُنَا أَوْرَاقُنَا
And we are informed by the Seyyid Abu Al Hamd, from Abu Al Qasim, by the mentioned chains in the book ‘Shawahid Al Tanzeel’, raising it to Abu Amama Al Bahily who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Created the Prophets-as various trees (lineages) and Created me-saww and Ali-asws from one tree. Thus, I-saww am its root and Ali-asws is its branches, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are its fruits, and our-asws Shias are its leaves.
فَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ زَاغَ هَوَى وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ أَلْفَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ أَلْفَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ أَلْفَ عَامٍ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ كَالشَّنِّ الْبَالِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ مَحَبَّتَنَا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ثُمَّ تَلَا قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى.
So, the one who attaches with one of its branches attains salvation, and one who deviates from it, collapses; and even if a servant were to worship Allah-azwj between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa for a thousand years, then (another) thousand years, then (another) thousand years until he becomes like a worn out water-skin, then does not come across our-asws cordiality, Allah-azwj will Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire. Then he-asws recited: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23]’.
وَ ذَكَرَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيُّ فِي تَفْسِيرِهِ حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ اسْتَحْكَمَ الْإِسْلَامَ قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ يَأْتِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَنَقُولُ لَهُ تَعْرُوكَ أُمُورٌ فَهَذِهِ أَمْوَالُنَا فَاحْكُمْ فِيهَا غَيْرَ حَرِجٍ وَ لَا مَحْظُورٍ عَلَيْكَ فَأَتَوْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى
And Abu Hamza Al-Sumali in his Tafseer – Rasool-Allah-saww, when he-saww proceeded to Al-Medina and Al-Islam became strong, the Helpers said regarding what was in between them, ‘We should go to Rasool-Allah-saww and say to him-saww ‘You have fought for these affairs, so here is our wealth, you-saww judge with regards to this without any fault or hindrance to you-saww (i.e., take whatever you-saww want)’. So they came to him-saww with regards to that, thus (the Verse) Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23], was revealed’.
فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ تَوَدُّونَ قَرَابَتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَخَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مُسَلِّمِينَ لِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَشَيْءٌ افْتَرَاهُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يُذَلِّلَنَا لِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَنَزَلَتْ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً
Rasool-Allah-saww recited it to them and said: ‘Be cordial to my-saww near relatives from after me-saww’. They went out from him-saww having submitted to his-saww words. But the hypocrites said, ‘This is something which has been forged in his-saww gathering intending by that to he-saww would humiliate us (in favour of) his-saww near relatives from after him-saww’. Thus it was Revealed: Or are they saying, He has fabricated a lie upon Allah? [42:24].
فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَكَوْا وَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبادِهِ الْآيَةَ
Rasool-Allah-saww sent for them, and recited it to them. They cried intensely to Rasool-Allah-saww, and so Allah-azwj Revealed: And He is the One Who Accepts the repentance from His servants [42:25] – the Verse.
فَأَرْسَلَ فِي أَثَرِهِمْ فَبَشَّرَهُمْ قَالَ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ سَلَّمُوا لِقَوْلِهِ
Rasool-Allah-saww sent a message after them and gave them the good news and said: And He Answers those who believe [42:26] – and they were the ones who submitted to Rasool-Allah-saww’s words’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ تَعَالَى وَ مَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيها حُسْناً أَيْ مَنْ فَعَلَ طَاعَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي تِلْكَ الطَّاعَةِ حُسْناً بِأَنْ نُوجِبَ لَهُ الثَّوَابَ.
Then the Exalted Said: And one who earns good, We will Increase the good for him therein [42:23], i.e., one who does the obedience, We-azwj shall Increase the good for him during that obedience, by Obligating the Rewards for him’.
وَ صَحَّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِينَ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ مَوَدَّتَهُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَقَالَ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى وَ مَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيها حُسْناً وَ اقْتِرَافُ الْحَسَنَةِ مَوَدَّتُنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ.
And correct from Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws, addressing the people, he-asws said in his-asws address: ‘I-asws from the People-asws of the Household, those Allah-azwj Obligated their-asws cordiality upon every Muslim, so He-azwj Said: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. And one who earns good, We will Increase the good for him therein. [42:23], and (the words) ‘earns good’, is our-asws cordiality of People-asws of the Household’.
وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ أَصْحَابَ الْكِسَاءِ.
And it is reported by Ismail Bin Abdul Khaliq, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘It was Revealed regarding us-asws, People-asws of the Household, companions of the cloak’’.
وَ قَالَ الْعَلَّامَةُ رَوَّحَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ فِي كِتَابِ كَشْفِ الْحَقِّ رَوَى الْجُمْهُورُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ فِي مُسْنَدِهِ وَ الثَّعْلَبِيُّ فِي تَفْسِيرِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ قَرَابَتُكَ الَّذِينَ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا مَوَدَّتُهُمْ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ ابْنَاهُمَا.
And the Allama said in the book ‘Kashf Al Haq’ – Al Jamhour in (the book) ‘Al Sahiheyn’, and Ahmad Bin Hanbal in his (book) ‘Musnad, and A; Sa’alby in his Tafseer, from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘When it was Revealed: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23], they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who are your-saww relatives, those, their cordiality is Obligated upon us?’ He-saww said: ‘Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws and their-asws sons-asws’’.
رُوِيَ أَنَّهَا لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ قَرَابَتُكَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ ابْنَاهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ مَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً وَ مَنْ يَكْتَسِبْ طَاعَةً سِيَّمَا حُبَّ آلِ الرَّسُولِ ص.
It is reported that when it was Revealed, it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who are your-saww relatives, these ones?’ He-saww said: ‘Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws and their-asws sons-asws’. Then he-saww said: ‘And one who earns good – and one who earns obedience of the Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww in particular’’.
قال الرازي في تفسيره الكبير روى الكلبي عن ابن عباس قال إن النبي لما قدم المدينة كانت تنوبه نوائب و حقوق و ليس في يده سعة فقال الأنصار إن هذا الرجل قد هداكم الله على يده و هو ابن أختكم و جاركم في بلدكم فأجمعوا له طائفة من أموالكم
Al-Razy said in his ‘Tafseer Al-Kabeer’ – It is reported from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘The Prophet-saww, when he-saww arrived in Al-Medina, they sent their deputies and rights, and there wasn’t capaciousness (of wealth) in his-saww hands. The Helpers said, ‘This man-saww, Allah-azwj has Guided you all upon his-saww hands, and he-saww is a son of your sister-as, and is a neighbour in your city, so gather a part of your wealth for him-saww’.
ففعلوا ثم أتوه به فرده عليهم و نزل قوله تعالى قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً أي على الإيمان إلا أن تودوا أقاربي فحثهم على مودة أقاربه.
They did so, then came to him-saww with it, but he-saww rejected it upon them, and the Words of the Exalted was Revealed: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it [42:23], i.e. upon the Eman, ‘except if you are cordial to my-saww relatives’, and he-saww urged them upon being cordial with his-saww relatives’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ نَقَلَ صَاحِبُ الْكَشَّافِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ شَهِيداً أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ تَائِباً أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ مُؤْمِناً مُسْتَكْمِلَ الْإِيمَانِ
Then he said, ‘The author of ‘Al-Kashaf’ transmitted from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who dies upon the love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, dies a martyr. Indeed! And the one who dies upon the love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, dies having (his sins) Forgiven for him. And the one who dies upon the love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww dies repentant. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad dies a Momin of complete Eman.
أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بَشَّرَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ مُنْكَرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يُزَفُّ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا تُزَفُّ الْعَرُوسُ إِلَى بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فُتِحَ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بَابَانِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
Indeed! And one who dies upon love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the Angel of death give him glad tidings with the Paradise, then Munkar and Nakeer (two questioning Angels). Indeed! And one who dies upon love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww would be escorted to the Paradise just as the bride tends to get escorted to the house of her husband. And one who dies upon love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, two doors two the Paradise would be opened up for him in his grave.
أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ قَبْرَهُ مَزَارَ مَلَائِكَةِ الرَّحْمَةِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ عَلَى السُّنَّةِ وَ الْجَمَاعَةِ
Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progeny-asws of Muhammad, Allah-azwj would Make his grave as a visitation place for the Angels of Mercy. Indeed! And one who dies upon love of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww dies upon the Sunnah and the community.
أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى بُغْضِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ آيِسٌ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى بُغْضِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ كَافِراً أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى بُغْضِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ.
Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred for Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww would come on the Day of Qiyamah, inscribed upon his eyes would be (the words): ‘Despaired from the Mercy of Allah-azwj’. Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred for the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, dies a Kafir. Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred for Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww will not (even) smell the aroma of the Paradise’’.
وَ رَوَى صَاحِبُ الْكَشَّافِ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ قَرَابَتُكَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ وَجَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا مَوَدَّتُهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ ابْنَاهُمَا.
And it is reported by the author of ‘Al-Kashaf’ – ‘When this Verse was Revealed, it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who are your-saww relatives, those whose cordiality is Obligated upon us?’ He-saww said: ‘Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws and their-asws sons-asws’.
قَالَ ص فَاطِمَةُ بَضْعَةٌ مِنِّي يُؤْذِينِي مَا يُؤْذِيهَا.
He-saww said: ‘Fatima-asws is a part of mine-saww. It hurts me-saww what hurts her-asws’.
وَ قَالَ صَاحِبُ الْكَشَّافِ زَائِداً عَلَى مَا نَقَلَهُ عَنْهُ الرَّازِيُّ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَسَدَ النَّاسِ لِي فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَزْوَاجُنَا عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَ شَمَائِلِنَا وَ ذُرِّيَّاتُنَا خَلْفَ أَزْوَاجِنَا.
And the author of ‘Al-Kashaf’ said, ‘In addition to what Al-Razy has transmitted, it is reported from Ali-asws having said: ‘I-asws complained to Rasool-Allah-saww about the envy of the people towards me-asws. He-saww said: ‘Are you-asws not pleased that you-asws happen to be the fourth of four. The first one to enter the Paradise would be I-saww, and you-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and our-asws wives from our-asws right and our-asws left, and our-asws offspring would be behind our-asws wives’’.
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص حُرِّمَتِ الْجَنَّةُ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ آذَانِي فِي عِتْرَتِي وَ مَنِ اصْطَنَعَ صَنِيعَةً إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ لَمْ يُجَازِهِ عَلَيْهَا فَأَنَا أُجَازِيهِ عَلَيْهَا غَداً إِذَا لَقِيَنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
And from the Prophet-saww: ‘The Paradise is Prohibited unto the one who is unjust to the People-asws of my-saww Household, and hurts me-saww regarding my-saww family; and one who does a favour to anyone from the children of Abdul Muttalib-asws and was not recompensed upon it, then I-saww shall recompense him upon it tomorrow when he meets me-saww on the Day of Qiyamah’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ قَالُوا فَعَلْنَا وَ فَعَلْنَا كَأَنَّهُمُ افْتَخَرُوا فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ أَوِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَنَا الْفَضْلُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَأَتَاهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَ لَمْ تَكُونُوا أَذِلَّةً فَأَعَزَّكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
And it is reported that the Helpers said, ‘We have done (this) and we have done (this)’, as if they were priding. Abbas, of Ibn Abbas said, ‘There is merit for us over you’. That reached Rasool-Allah-saww, so he-saww came to them in their gathering and said: ‘O community of the Helpers! Were you not humiliated and Allah-azwj Gave you honour through me-saww?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ أَ لَمْ تَكُونُوا ضُلَّالًا فَهَدَاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِي قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ فَلَا تُجِيبُونِي قَالُوا مَا نَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ لَا تَقُولُونَ أَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْكَ قَوْمُكَ فَآوَيْنَاكَ أَ وَ لَمْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَصَدَّقْنَاكَ أَ وَ لَمْ يَخْذُلُوكَ فَنَصَرْنَاكَ
He-saww said: ‘Did you not happen to be straying and Allah-azwj Guided you through me-saww?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’ So why don’t you love me-saww?’ They said, ‘What have we said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘Are you not saying, ‘Did your-saww people not expel you-saww and we sheltered you-saww, and they belied you-saww while we ratified you-saww, and they abandoned you-saww and we helped you-saww?’
قَالَ فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُ حَتَّى جَثَوْا عَلَى الرُّكَبِ وَ قَالُوا أَمْوَالُنَا وَ مَا فِي أَيْدِينَا لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-saww did not cease saying until they kneeled upon their knees and said, ‘(All) our wealth and whatever is in our hands is for Allah-azwj and for His-azwj Rasool-saww’. So, the Verse was Revealed’’.

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of the Exalted: Say: ‘Whatever recompense I ask you for, so it is for yourselves. [34:47]: ‘And that is, Rasool-Allah-saww asked his-saww people to be cordial with his-saww relatives and not hurt them; as for His-azwj Words: it is for yourselves, he-saww is saying, its Reward is for you’’.[126]

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to Al-Ahowl: ‘Have you been to Al-Basra?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘How do you see the quickness of the people regarding this matter (Wilayah) and their entering into it?’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! They are few, and they have done that, and even then they are few’. He-asws said: ‘Upon you is to be with the young, for they are quicker to every good (thing)’.

He-asws said: ‘What are they the people of Al-Basra saying regarding this Verse: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23]’. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! They are saying it is for the near ones of Rasool-Allah-saww and for the People-asws of his-saww Household’. He-asws said: ‘But rather it was Revealed regarding us, People-asws of the Household, regarding Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws – the companions of the cloak’’.[127]

‘It was narrated to us by Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws: ‘When this Verse was Revealed unto Rasool-Allah-saww: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘No one answered him-saww. So, he-saww left. When it was the next morning, he-saww stood among them and said similar to that. (Still there was no response). Then he-saww stood among them similar to that during the third day. But no one spoke.

He-saww said: ‘O you people! It is neither from gold, nor silver, nor food, nor drink!’ They said, ‘Say it then’. He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Revealed unto me-saww: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23]’. They said, ‘As for this, so yes’’.

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Ibn Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying regarding the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23] – regarding People-asws of his-saww Household’.

He-asws said: ‘The Helpers came to Rasool-Allah-saww and they said, ‘We have sheltered and triumphed, so take part of our wealth and be assisted with it against whatever is repulsive to you-saww’. So, Allah-azwj Revealed: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, – meaning upon the Prophet-hood, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23] – meaning regarding the People-asws of my-saww Household’.

Then he-asws said: ‘Can you not see that the man happens to have a friend for him and within the self of that man is something against his family, so his chest has not submitted? Allah-azwj Wanted that there should not be anything in the self of Rasool-Allah-saww upon his-saww community, so He-azwj Obligated the cordiality regarding the relatives upon them. Thus, if they were to take, they would be taking it Obligatorily, and if they were to neglect, they would be neglecting an Obligation’.

He-asws said: ‘So, they left from his-saww presence and some of them were saying, ‘We presented our wealth to him-asws and he-saww said: ‘You will be killing my-saww family from after me-saww’. And a group said, ‘What is this Rasool-saww saying?’

And they rejected it and said just as Allah-azwj has Cited: Or are they saying, He has fabricated a lie upon Allah? [42:24]. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: But if Allah so Desires, He would Seal upon your heart, [42:24] . He-saww said: ‘If I-saww were to fabricate, and Allah Deletes the falsehood – meaning, would Invalidate it, and Confirms the Truth with His Word. – meaning with the Imamate and Al-Qaim-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, He is All-Knowing with the contents of the chests [42:24].
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبادِهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ يَزِيدُهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ يَعْنِي الَّذِينَ قَالُوا الْقَوْلُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص
Then He-azwj Said: And He is the One Who Accepts the repentance from His servants, [42:25] – up to His-azwj Words: and Increases them from His Grace; [42:26] – meaning those who said the words what Rasool-Allah-saww said.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الْكافِرُونَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ شَدِيدٌ وَ قَالَ أَيْضاً قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى قَالَ أَجْرُ النُّبُوَّةِ أَنْ لَا تُؤْذُوهُمْ وَ لَا تَقْطَعُوهُمْ وَ لَا تُغْضِبُوهُمْ وَ تَصِلُوهُمْ وَ لَا تَنْقُضُوا الْعَهْدَ فِيهِمْ لِقَوْلِهِ وَ الَّذِينَ يَصِلُونَ ما أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ
Then He-azwj Said: and for the Kafirs, there would be severe Punishment [42:26]. And He-azwj Said as well: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23]. A recompense of the Prophet-hood is that they should neither hurt them-asws, nor cut them-asws off, nor usurp them-asws, and help them-asws and not break the covenant regarding them, due to His-azwj Words: And those who are maintaining the relationships what Allah has Commanded with maintaining, [13:21]’.
قَالَ جَاءَ الْأَنْصَارُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدْ نَصَرْنَا وَ فَعَلْنَا فَخُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا مَا شِئْتَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى يَعْنِي فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
He-asws said: ‘The helpers came to Rasool-Allah-saww and they said, ‘We have triumphed and we have performed, so take from our wealth whatever you-saww life’. So, Allah-azwj Revealed: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23] – meaning regarding his-saww family.
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مَنْ حَبَسَ أَجِيراً أَجْرَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ صَرْفاً وَ لَا عَدْلًا وَ هُوَ مَحَبَّةُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said after that: ‘One who withhold a recompense of a hired one, then upon him is the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87]. On the Day of Qiyamah, Allah-azwj will neither Accept from them any exchange, nor replacements, and it is love of the progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ مَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً وَ هِيَ إِقْرَارُ الْإِمَامَةِ لَهُمْ وَ الْإِحْسَانُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ بِرُّهُمْ وَ صِلَتُهُمْ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيها حُسْناً أَيْ نُكَافِئْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِالْإِحْسَانِ.
Then He-azwj Said: And one who earns good, [42:23], i.e. We-azwj shall Suffice upon that with the Favours’’.[130]

One who takes it, takes it (as an Obligation), and one who leaves it would be neglecting an Obligation.

Al-Hassan Al-Basry was saying it is regarding the relatives from the Arabs’.

Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘It is as if I-asws say to Qureysh in our presence: ‘It is for us-asws in particular’, and they say, ‘It is for us and you all generally’. So, I-asws say: ‘Inform me-asws about the Prophet-saww, when a difficulty befell him-saww, whom did he-as specialised with it, wasn’t it us-asws in particular when he-saww wanted to curse the people of Najran, he-saww grabbed a hand of Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws.

And on the day of Badr he-saww said to Ali-asws and Hamza-asws and Ubeyda Bin Al-Haris: ‘They refused to acknowledge to me-asws. So is the sweet for you all and the bitter is for us-asws?’’[133]

‘We were with Rasool-Allah-saww in a garden from the gardens of the clan of Haria when a scabby lean camel came until it prostrated to the Prophet-saww’. We said to Jabir, ‘You saw it?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ رَأَيْتُهُ وَاضِعٌ جَبْهَتَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ قَدْ سَجَدَ لِي وَ اسْتَجَارَ بِي فَاذْهَبْ فَاشْتَرِهِ وَ أَعْتِقْهُ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
He said, ‘Yes, I did see it place its forehead in front of Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said: ‘O Umar! This camel has prostrated to me-saww and is seeking shelter with me-saww, so go and buy it and free it, and do not make a way to be for anyone upon it’.
قَالَ فَذَهَبَ عُمَرُ فَاشْتَرَاهُ وَ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهُ ثُمَّ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا بَهِيمَةٌ يَسْجُدُ لَكَ فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لَكَ سَلْنَا عَلَى مَا جِئْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْهُدَى أَجْراً سَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ عَمَلًا
He said, ‘So, Umar went and bought it and freed its way. Then he came to the Prophet-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This animal prostrated to you-asws, and we are more rightful that we should prostrate to you-saww. Ask us for a recompense upon what you-saww have come with it from the guidance. Ask us for a deed upon it’.

He-saww said: ‘If I-saww were to order anyone to prostrate to anyone, I-saww would order the wife that she prostrate to her husband’.

‘I said to (Syeda) Fatima daughter of Al-Husayn-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! Inform me with a Hadeeth I can narrate and argue against the people with it’. She said, ‘My father-asws informed me that the Prophet-saww had descended at Al-Medina, and the ones from the Emigrants who came to it were descended at it.

The Helpers wanted to obligate an obligation for Rasool-Allah-saww he-saww could be assisted with, and they said, ‘We have seen what has affected you-saww from the difficulties, and we have come to you to obligate for you-asws from our wealth, an obligation you-saww can be assisted with upon the ones who come to you-saww’.

He-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww lowered his-saww head for a long time, then raised his-saww head and said: ‘I-saww have not been Commanded to take from you anything what you have come with, therefore go, and if I-saww am get Commanded with it, I-saww shall let you know’.

He-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww sent a message to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws: Ascend the pulpit and call the people to you-asws, then say: ‘O you people! One who is deficient in recompensing a hired one of his recompense, so let him assume his seat from the Fire, and one who is affiliated to other than his master, so let him assume his seat from the Fire, and the one who disavows from his parents, so let him assume his seat from the Fire’.
قَالَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ وَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مَا لَهُنَّ مِنْ تَأْوِيلٍ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَيْلٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ مِنْ تَأْوِيلِهِنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
He-asws said: ‘A man stood up and said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan-asws! What is an interpretation for these’. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww is more knowing’. Then he-asws came to Rasool-Allah-saww and informed him-saww. The Prophet-saww said: ‘Woe be to Qureysh from its interpretation’ – three times.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ انْطَلِقْ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي أَنَا الْأَجِيرُ الَّذِي أَثْبَتَ اللَّهُ مَوَدَّتَهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
Then he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Go and inform them that I-saww am the hired one whose cordiality Allah-azwj has Affirmed from the sky’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ مَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ أَبَوَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Then he-saww said: ‘I-saww and you-asws are the Masters of the Momineen, and I-saww and you-asws are two fathers of the Momineen’.
ثُمَّ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ وَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَوَّلُكُمْ إِيمَاناً بِاللَّهِ وَ أَقْوَمُكُمْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ أَوْفَاكُمْ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِالْقَضِيَّةِ وَ أَقْسَمُكُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ أَرْحَمُكُمْ بِالرَّعِيَّةِ وَ أَفْضَلُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَزِيَّةً
Then Rasool-Allah-saww came out and said: ‘O community of Quraysh, and the Emigrants and the Helpers!’ When they gathered, he-saww said: ‘O you people! Ali-asws is the first of you in believing in Allah-azwj, and the straightest of you with the Commands of Allah-azwj, and most fulfilling of you with the Covenant of Allah-azwj, and most knowledgeable of you with the judgments, and the most equitable of you with the fairness, and the most merciful of you with the citizens, and most superior of you in the Presence of Allah-azwj of sanctity’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَثَّلَ لِي أُمَّتِي فِي الطِّينِ وَ عَلَّمَنِي أَسْمَاءَهُمْ كَمَا عَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْماءَ كُلَّها ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَيَّ فَمُرَّ بِي أَصْحَابُ الرَّايَاتِ فَاسْتَغْفَرْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ تَسْتَقِيمَ أُمَّتِي عَلَى عَلِيٍّ مِنْ بَعْدِي فَأَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يُضِلَّ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَ يَهْدِيَ مَنْ يَشَاءُ
Then he-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Made a resemblance of my-saww community for me-saww in the clay and Taught me-saww their names just as He-azwj Taught Adam-as the names, all of them, then Presented them unto me-saww. The bearers of the flags passed by me and sought Forgiveness for Ali-asws and his-asws Shias, and I-saww asked my-saww Lord-azwj to Affirm my-saww community upon Ali-asws from after me-saww, but He-azwj Refused except that He-azwj would Let stray ones He-azwj so Desires to and Guide ones He-azwj so Desires to.
ثُمَّ ابْتَدَأَنِي رَبِّي فِي عَلِيٍّ ع بِسَبْعِ خِصَالٍ أَمَّا أَوَّلُهُنَّ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُ مَعِي وَ لَا فَخْرَ وَ أَمَّا الثَّانِيَةُ فَإِنَّهُ يَذُودُ أَعْدَاءَهُ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا تَذُودُ الرُّعَاةُ غَرِيبَةَ الْإِبِلِ
Then my-saww Lord-azwj Initiated me-saww regarding Ali-asws with seven characteristics. As for the first of them, he-asws is the first one the ground would split apart from along with me-saww, and no pride; and as for the second, he-asws shall impede his-asws enemies from my-saww Fountain just as the shepherd tends to impede a strange camel (which is not his);
وَ أَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَإِنَّ مِنْ فُقَرَاءِ شِيعَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع لَيُشَفَّعُ فِي مِثْلِ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ وَ أَمَّا الرَّابِعَةُ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَقْرَعُ بَابَ الْجَنَّةِ مَعِي وَ لَا فَخْرَ وَ أَمَّا الْخَامِسَةُ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُزَوَّجُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ مَعِي وَ لَا فَخْرَ وَ أَمَّا السَّادِسَةُ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُسْقَى مِنَ الرَّحِيقِ الْمَخْتُومِ خِتامُهُ مِسْكٌ وَ فِي ذلِكَ فَلْيَتَنافَسِ الْمُتَنافِسُونَ.
And as for the third, from the poor ones of the Shias of Ali-asws, he-asws will intercede regarding the like (number) of (clans of) Rabie and Muzar; and as for the fourth, he-asws will be the first one to knock upon the door of the Paradise along with me-saww, and no pride; and as for the fifth, he-asws will be the first one to marry a Maiden Hourie along with me-saww, and no pride; and as for the sixth, he-asws will be the first one to quench from sealed nectar [83:25] Its sealing being of musk, and regarding that, so let the aspiring ones aspire [83:26]’’.
أقول: الظاهر ان نسخة المصنّف كانت ناقصة فلم يذكر السابعة، و الموجود في المصدر: و أمّا السادسة فانه اول من يسكن معى في عليين و لا فخر، و اما السابعة فانه اول من يسقى من رحيق مختوم اه.
Note: – I (Majlisi) am saying that the copy of the author was deficient. He did not mentioned the seventh, and it is located in the source: ‘And as for the sixth, he-asws will be the first one to settle with me-saww in the Illiyeen, and no pride; and as for the seventh, he-asws will be the first one to quench from sealed nectar [83:25]’.[139]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Abdul Salam, from Haroun Bin Abu Burdah, from Ja’far Bin Al Hassan, from Yusuf, from Al Husayn Bin Ismail Al Asady, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Ibn Nubata who said,
‘I was seated in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws in Masjid Al-Kufa and a man from Baheela teknonymed as Abu Khadeeja came to him-asws and with him we sixty men from Baheela. He greeted and they greeted, then he sat down and they sat down. Then Abu Khadeeja said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Is there any secret with you-asws from the secrets of Rasool-Allah-saww you can narrate to us with it?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا قَنْبَرُ ائْتِنِي بِالْكِتَابَةِ فَفَضَّهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَسْفَلُهَا سُلَيْفَةٌ مِثْلُ ذَنَبِ الْفَأْرَةِ مَكْتُوبَةٌ فِيهَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّ لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ وَ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ عَلَى مَنِ انْتَمَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ وَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ عَلَى مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حَدَثاً أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثاً وَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَجِيراً
He-asws said: ‘Yes. O Qanbar! Come to me-asws with the book!’ He-asws opened it and there at its bottom was a cursor like the tail of a mouse. It was written therein: – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87] is upon the one who is affiliated to other than his master; and the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87] is upon the one who innovates an innovation in Al-Islam, or shelters an innovator; and the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87] is upon the one who oppresses a hired one (of his recompense);
وَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ سَرَقَ شِبْراً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَ حُدُودِهَا يُكَلَّفُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَجِيءَ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ سَبْعِ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كُلِّفَتْ هَذَا دَوَابُّ الْأَرْضِ مَا أَطَاقَتْهُ
and Curse of Allah-azwj is upon one who steals a palms width from the land and its limits. He will be encumbered on the Day of Qiyamah that he comes with that from the seven skies and seven earths’’. Then he-asws turned towards the people and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! If this were to be encumbered upon the animals of the earth, they would not (be able to) endure it’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا خَدِيجَةَ إِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مَوَالِي كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَمَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَنَا فَعَلَيْهِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَ الْأَجِيرُ لَيْسَ بِالدِّينَارِ وَ لَا بِالدِّينَارَيْنِ وَ لَا بِالدِّرْهَمِ وَ لَا بِالدِّرْهَمَيْنِ بَلْ مَنْ ظَلَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَجْرَهُ فِي قَرَابَتِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى فَمَنْ ظَلَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَجْرَهُ فِي قَرَابَتِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
He-asws said to him: ‘O Abu Khadeeja! We-asws, People-asws of the Household are Masters of every Muslim. So, the one who accepts as ruler other than us-asws, upon him is (Curses) like that, and (we-asws are) the hired ones, not with the Dinar, nor with the two Dinars, nor with the Dirham nor with two Dirhams, but one who is unjust to Rasool-Allah-saww of his-saww recompense regarding his-saww relatives. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23]. So, the one who is unjust to Rasool-Allah-saww of his-saww recompense regarding his-saww relatives, upon him is the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87]’’.[140]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ubeyd Bin Kaseer, from Yahya Bin Al Hassan Bin Al Furat Al Fazzaz, from Aamir Bin Kaseer Al Sarraj, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad bin Ali, from Ziyad Bin Al Munzir who said,
‘We-asws are such a tree, its roots is Rasool-Allah-saww, and its branches is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib, and its twigs is Fatima-asws daughter-asws of the Prophet-saww, and its fruits are Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, upon them-asws be the greetings, and the salutations, and the honours.
وَ أَنَا شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مِفْتَاحُ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّ اللَّهِ وَ وَدِيعَتُهُ وَ الْأَمَانَةُ الَّتِي عُرِضَتْ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ بَيْتُ اللَّهِ الْعَتِيقُ وَ ذِمَّتُهُ
And I-saww am the tree of Prophet-hood, and the house of mercy, and the key of wisdom, and the mine of knowledge, and the place of the Message, and the interchange of the Angels, and the place of the Secrets of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Deposits and the Entrustment which He-azwj Presented to the skies and the earth and the mountains, and the greatest sanctity of Allah-azwj, and the ancient house of Allah-azwj and its pact.
وَ عِنْدَنَا عِلْمُ الْمَنَايَا وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ الْقَضَايَا وَ الْوَصَايَا وَ فَصْلُ الْخِطَابِ وَ مَوْلِدُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَنْسَابُ الْعَرَبِ
And with us-asws is the knowledge of the deaths, and the afflictions, and the judgments, and bequests, and the decisive address, and births of Al-Islam, and lineages of the Arabs.
إِنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع كَانُوا نُوراً مُشْرِقاً حَوْلَ عَرْشِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُسَبِّحُوا فَسَبَّحَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ لِتَسْبِيحِهِمْ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الصَّافُّونَ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ فَمَنْ أَوْفَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ فَقَدْ أَوْفَى بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ عَرَفَ حَقَّهُمْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ حَقَّ اللَّهِ
The Imams-asws were shining lights around the Throne of their-asws Lord-azwj. He-azwj Commanded them-asws to glorify (Allah-azwj), so the people of the skies glorified to their-asws glorifications, and they-asws, for them-asws are the rows (of Angels), and they-asws, for them-asws are the praisers. The one who fulfils their-asws pacts so he has fulfilled the Pact of Allah-azwj, and one who recognises their-asws rights so he has recognised the Right of Allah-azwj.
هَؤُلَاءِ عِتْرَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَنْ جَحَدَ حَقَّهُمْ فَقَدْ جَحَدَ حَقَّ اللَّهِ هُمْ وُلَاةُ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ خَزَنَةُ وَحْيِ اللَّهِ وَ وَرَثَةُ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ هُمُ الْمُصْطَفَوْنَ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ الْأُمَنَاءُ عَلَى وَحْيِ اللَّهِ
They-asws are the family-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the one who rejects their-asws rights so he has rejects the Right of Allah-azwj. They-asws are the Master of the Command of Allah-azwj, and treasurers of the Revelation of Allah-azwj, and inheritors of the Book of Allah-azwj, and they are the ones-asws Chosen by the Command of Allah-azwj, and securers upon the Revelation of Allah-azwj.
هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَفَاضُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ الْمُسْتَأْنِسُونَ بِخَفْقِ أَجْنِحَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مَنْ كَانَ يغذوهم [يَغْدُوهُمْ] جَبْرَئِيلُ بِأَمْرِ الْمَلِكِ الْجَلِيلِ بِخَبَرِ التَّنْزِيلِ وَ بُرْهَانِ الدَّلِيلِ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ
They-asws are the People-asws of the Household of the Prophet-hood, and disseminators of the Message, and they-asws are the ones comforted by the fluttering of the wings of the Angels, ones-asws who have been provided by Jibraeel-as by the Command of the King, the Majestic, with the news of the Revelations and evidential proofs. They-asws are People-asws of the Household.
أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِشَرَفِهِ وَ شَرَّفَهُمْ بِكَرَامَتِهِ وَ أَعَزَّهُمْ بِالْهُدَى وَ ثَبَّتَهُمْ بِالْوَحْيِ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً هُدَاةً وَ نُوراً فِي الظُّلَمِ لِلنَّجَاةِ وَ اخْتَصَّهُمْ لِدِينِهِ وَ فَضَّلَهُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ آتَاهُمْ ما لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعالَمِينَ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ عِمَاداً لِدِينِهِ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِمَكْنُونِ سِرِّهِ وَ أُمَنَاءَ عَلَى وَحْيِهِ وَ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ
Allah-azwj has Honoured them-asws with His-azwj Nobility, and Ennobled them-asws with His-azwj Honours, and Honoured them-asws with the guidance, and Established them-asws with the Revelation and Made them-asws Imams-asws of the guidance, and lights in the darkness for the salvation, and Selected them-asws for His-azwj Religion, and Merited them-asws with His-azwj Knowledge, and Gave them-asws no one from the worlds had been Given, and Made them-asws pillars of His-azwj Religion, and as depositories for His-azwj Hidden Secrets, and as securers upon His-azwj Revelation, and as witnesses upon His-azwj citizens.
وَ اخْتَارَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ اجْتَبَاهُمْ وَ خَصَّهُمْ وَ اصْطَفَاهُمْ وَ فَضَّلَهُمْ وَ ارْتَضَاهُمْ وَ انْتَجَبَهُمْ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ نُوراً لِلْبِلَادِ وَ عِمَاداً لِلْعِبَادِ وَ حُجَّتَهُ الْعُظْمَى وَ أَهْلَ النَّجَاةِ وَ الزُّلْفَى
And Allah-azwj Chose them-asws, and Selected them-asws, and Specialised them-asws, and Nominated them-asws, and Merited them-asws, and was Pleased with them, and Selected them-asws and Made them-asws as lights for the cities and pillars for the servants, and His-azwj great Divine Authorities, and People-asws of the salvation, and the nearness (to Allah-azwj).
هُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ الْكِرَامُ هُمُ الْقُضَاةُ الْحُكَّامُ هُمُ النُّجُومُ الْأَعْلَامُ وَ هُمُ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ هُمُ السَّبِيلُ الْأَقْوَمُ الرَّاغِبُ عَنْهُمْ مَارِقٌ وَ الْمُقَصِّرُ عَنْهُمْ زَاهِقٌ وَ اللَّازِمُ لَهُمْ لَاحِقٌ هُمْ نُورُ اللَّهِ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْبِحَارُ السَّائِغَةُ لِلشَّارِبِينَ أَمْنٌ لِمَنِ الْتَجَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ أَمَانٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِمْ
They-asws are the honourable choice, they-asws are the judges, the rulers, they-asws are the stars, the banners, and they-asws are the straight path, they-asws are the straight way. The one who turns away from them is a renegade, and the one deficient from them-asws is obliterated, and one necessitating to them-asws would join up. They-asws are the Light of Allah-azwj (which is) in the hearts of the Momineen, and the seven oceans for the drinkers, a safety for the ones who turn to them-asws, and a security for the ones who attaches with them-asws.
إِلَى اللَّهِ يَدْعُونَ وَ لَهُ يُسَلِّمُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ وَ بِبَيَانِهِ يَحْكُمُونَ فِيهِمْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ هَبَطَتْ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ نَزَلَتْ سَكِينَتُهُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ بُعِثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ مَنّاً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
To Allah-azwj they-asws are calling, and to Him-azwj they are submitting, and by His-azwj Command they-asws are acting, and by His-azwj Explanations they-asws are judging. Among them-asws, Allah-azwj Sent His-azwj Rasool-saww, and upon them-asws His-azwj Angels descend, and between them descended His-azwj tranquillity, and to them-asws the Trustworthy Spirit is Sent as a Conferment from Allah-azwj upon them-asws.
فَضَّلَهُمْ بِهِ وَ خَصَّهُمْ بِذَلِكَ وَ آتاهُمْ تَقْواهُمْ وَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ قَوَّاهُمْ هُمْ فروغ [فُرُوعٌ] طَيِّبَةٌ وَ أُصُولٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ خُزَّانُ الْعِلْمِ وَ وَرَثَةُ الْحِلْمِ وَ أُولُو الْتُّقَى وَ النُّهَى وَ النُّورِ وَ الضِّيَاءِ وَ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ بَقِيَّةُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ
He-azwj Graced them-asws with it, and Specialised them-asws with that, and Granted them-asws their-asws straightness and Strengthened them-asws with the wisdom.

‘Regarding the Words of the Exalted: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23], Ibn Abbas said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww arrived at Al-Medina he-saww used to distribute the needs and rights in it, and there wasn’t capacity in his-saww hands for that.
فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَدْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ أُخْتِكُمْ تَنُوبُهُ نَوَائِبُ وَ حُقُوقٌ وَ لَيْسَ فِي يَدَيْهِ لِذَلِكَ سَعَةٌ فَاجْمَعُوا لَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالِكُمْ مَا لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ فَتَأْتُونَهُ بِهِ فَيَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ عَلَى مَا يَنُوبُهُ

They did so, then came to him-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww are a son-saww of our sister-as, and Allah-azwj has Guided us upon your-saww hands, and you-saww are distributing the needs and rights and there isn’t capacity for it with you-saww, so we viewed that we should gather from our wealth and come to you-saww with it, so you-saww can be assisted with it upon the ones you-saww are distributing, and it is this’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said: ‘Have you not seen that the man is cordial to the man, then he is not cordial with his relatives as there happens to be something in himself? So, Allah-azwj Loved that there should not happen to be anything in the self of Rasool-Allah-saww upon his-saww community. Thus, if they were to take it, they would be taking an Obligation, and if they were to neglect it, they would be neglecting an Obligation’.

‘He-asws came out to his-asws companions one day, and they were anticipating his-asws coming out. He-asws said: ‘The glad tidings from Allah-azwj have been accomplished for you. By Allah-azwj! There is no one accomplishing the glad tidings from Allah-azwj apart from you’. Then he-asws recited this Verse: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23].
قَالَ نَحْنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ قَرَابَتُهُ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَ جَعَلَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَّا
He-asws said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household are his-saww relatives. Allah-azwj has Made us-asws to be from him-saww, and Allah-azwj has Made you to be from us-asws’.
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ قُلْ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنا إِلَّا إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ الْمَوْتِ وَ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ ظُهُورِ أَمْرِنَا فَيُرِيكُمُ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ أَعْيُنُكُمْ

Then he-saww said, ‘Are you not pleased that (only) your Salats are Accepted and their Salats are not Accepted, and your arguments are Accepted and their arguments are not Accepted?’ They said, ‘Why, O Abu Al-Qasim-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘That, is like that’’ (due to submitting to our-asws Wilayah).[147]

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘It was revealed unto the Prophet-saww the Words of the Exalted: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23]. Then Jibraeel-as came to him-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww!

I-azwj do not Leave the earth except and therein is a knowledgeable one My-azwj obedience is recognised by him and My-azwj Wilayah is recognised by him, and he would happen to be a Divine Authority for the ones to be born in what is between the expiry of the Prophet-saww to the emergence of the other Prophet-as. So bequeath to him-asws with the Name, and it is an inheritance of the knowledge, and traces (Hadeeth) of knowledge of Prophet-hood, and bequeath to him-asws a thousand doors, each door opening a thousand doors, and each phrase opening a thousand phrases!”

From these is from Umm Salama-ra, from Rasool-Allah-saww having said to (Syeda) Fatima-asws: ‘Come to me-saww with your-asws husband-asws and your-asws two sons-asws’.

She-asws came with them-asws. He-saww threw a cloak upon them, then raised his-saww hands upon them-asws and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! They-asws are Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, therefore Make Your-azwj Salawat, and Your-azwj Blessings to be upon the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, for You-azwj are the Praised, the Glorified’.

And from Sa’alby, by his chain from Abu Al Daylam who said,
‘When they came with Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws and made him-asws stand upon a step of Masjid of Damascus, a man from the people of Syria stood up and said, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Killed you-asws all and Uprooted you-asws and Cut off a generation of Fitna (strife)’.

Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘Have you read the Quran?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Have you read the (Chapter) Ha Meem [42:1]’. He said, ‘I have read the Quran and how can I not have read the (Chapter) Ha Meem [42:1]?’ He-asws said: ‘Have you read: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives [42:23]?’ He said, ‘You-asws are them-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’.

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Ali Bin Hammad, from Amro bin Shimr, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Mighty and Majestic: And one who earns good, We will Increase the good for him therein. [42:23]. He-asws said: ‘One who is in the Wilayah of Progeny-asws of Muhammad and follows their-asws traces (Ahadeeth), so that one, his Wilayah would be increased of the ones past from the Prophets-as and the Momineen, the former ones, until their-asws Wilayah connects to Adam-as, and it is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: One who comes with the good deed, for him would be better than it, [27:89], he would enter the Paradise.
وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ قُلْ ما سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ يَقُولُ أَجْرُ الْمَوَدَّةِ الَّذِي لَمْ أَسْئَلْكُمْ غَيْرَهُ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ وَ تَنْجُونَ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
And it is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Say: ‘Whatever recompense I ask you for, so it is for yourselves. [34:47]. He-saww Says it is a recompense for the cordiality which I-saww did not ask apart from it, so it is for you. You will be guided by it and attain salvation from the Punishment of Allah-azwj on the Day of Qiyamah’.
وَ قَالَ لَأَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءُ الشَّيْطَانِ أَهْلُ التَّكْذِيبِ وَ الْإِنْكَارِ قُلْ ما أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَ ما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ يَقُولُ مُتَكَلِّفاً أَنْ أَسْئَلَكُمْ مَا لَسْتُمْ بِأَهْلِهِ
And he-asws said: ‘The enemies of Allah-azwj and the friends of Satan-la, the people of belying and the denial. Say: ‘I do not ask you for any recompense over it, nor am I from the pretenders [38:86]. He-saww is said, a pretender that I-saww should be asking you all what you aren’t with its right’.
فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَ مَا يَكْفِي مُحَمَّداً أَنْ يَكُونَ قَهَرَنَا عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذَا وَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا شَيْءٌ يَتَقَوَّلُهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا وَ لَئِنْ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَوْ مَاتَ لَنَنْزِعُهَا فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ لَا نُعِيدُهَا فِيهِمْ أَبَداً
The hypocrites said to each other at that, ‘Did it not suffice Muhammad-saww that he-saww became coercing us for twenty years until he-saww (now) wants to load People-asws of his-saww Household upon our necks?’ They said, ‘Allah-azwj did not Reveal this, and it is not except something he-saww is saying it, intending to raise People-asws of his-saww Household over our necks, and if Muhammad-saww were to be killed or dies, we will snatch away from People-asws of his-saww Household, then not return it to be among them, ever!’
وَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ أَنْ يُعْلِمَ نَبِيَّهُ ص مَا أَخْفَوْا فِي صُدُورِهِمْ وَ أَسَرُّوا بِهِ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً فَإِنْ يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلى قَلْبِكَ
And Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention Wanted His-azwj Prophet-saww to know what they were hiding in their chests and were being secretive with, so He-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said in His-azwj Book: Or are they saying, He has fabricated a lie upon Allah? But if Allah so Desires, He would Seal upon your heart, [42:24].
يَقُولُ لَوْ شِئْتُ حَبَسْتُ عَنْكَ الْوَحْيَ فَلَمْ تَكَلَّمْ بِفَضْلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ لَا بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ
He-azwj is Saying: “If I-azwj so Desired, I-azwj would have Withheld the Revelation from you-saww, and you-saww could not have spoken with the merits of People-asws of your-saww Household, nor with their-asws cordiality”.
وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ يَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْباطِلَ وَ يُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ يَقُولُ الْحَقُّ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ يَقُولُ بِمَا أَلْقَوْهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنَ الْعَدَاوَةِ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ الظُّلْمِ بَعْدَكَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ أَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هذا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَ فَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَ أَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ.
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Said: ‘and Allah Deletes the falsehood and Confirms the Truth with His Word. – He-azwj is Saying the truth is for People-asws of your-saww Household, the Wilayah, He is All-Knowing with the contents of the chests [42:24]. He-azwj is Saying, with what they were casting in their chests of the enmity for People-asws of your-saww Household, and the injustices after you-saww, and it is the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: and they consulted in secret, those who are unjust, ‘Is this one except a human being like you all? Will you be going to the sorcery while you are seeing?’ [21:3]’’.[157]

And Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said ‘If it was so that the two fathers rather were of greater rights upon their children – due to their favours, so the favours of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws to this community is more plentiful and greater. Thus, they-asws have become their fathers truly’.
وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ قَدْرُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ قَدْرُ أَبَوَيْهِ الْأَفْضَلَيْنِ عِنْدَهُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ.
And Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘The one who intends that he recognises how much is his worth in the Presence of Allah-azwj, so let him look how much he considers the worth of his two superior fathers with himself, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws’.
وَ قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع مَنْ رَعَى حَقَّ أَبَوَيْهِ الْأَفْضَلَيْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ مَا أَضَاعَ مِنْ حَقِّ أَبَوَيْ نَفْسِهِ وَ سَائِرِ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُمَا يُرْضِيَانِهِمْ بِسَعْيِهِمَا.
And Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘The one who takes care of the rights of his two superior fathers, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, it would not harm him whatever he wasted from the rights of his own father and the (rights of) the rest of the servants of Allah-azwj, for they-asws both would be pleasing them by their-asws efforts’.
وَ قَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع يُعَظَّمُ ثَوَابُ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى قَدْرِ تَعْظِيمِ الْمُصَلِّي عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ الْأَفْضَلَيْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ.
And Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws said: ‘The greatness of the Rewards of the Salat is upon a measurement of the reverence of the praying one to the two superior fathers, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws’.
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع أَ مَا يَكْرَهُ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُنْفَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ اللَّذَيْنِ وَلَدَاهُ قَالُوا بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلْيَتَجَهَّدْ أَنْ لَا يُنْفَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ اللَّذَيْنِ هُمَا أَبَوَاهُ الْأَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَبَوَيْ نَفْسِهِ.
And Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Don’t you dislike to be separated from his father and his mother, those that gave him birth?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So let him strive that he should not be separated from his father and his mother, those who are his superior fathers (Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws) than his own father’.
وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ رَجُلٌ بِحَضْرَتِهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً حَتَّى لَوْ قُطِّعْتُ إِرْباً أَوْ قُرِضْتُ لَمْ أَزُلْ عَنْهُ
And Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws said when a man said in his-asws presence, ‘I love Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws to the extent that if I were to be cut into pieces and pieces, or sawed, I would not cease from it’.
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع لَا جَرَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً مُعْطِيَاكَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمَا مَا تُعْطِيهِمَا أَنْتَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ إِنَّهُمَا لَيَسْتَدْعِيَانِ لَكَ فِي يَوْمِ فَصْلِ الْقَضَاءِ مَا لَا يَفِي مَا بَذَلْتَهُ لَهُمَا بِجُزْءٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ جُزْءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.
Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘There is no doubt that Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws would give you what you give to them-asws from yourself. They-asws would be calling for you, during the Day of the Decisive Judgment – what your efforts did not equate to – by one part from one million parts from that’.
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ وَالِدَا دِينِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدَيْ نَسَبِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي حِلٍّ وَ لَا حَرَامٍ وَ لَا قَلِيلٍ وَ لَا كَثِيرٍ.
And Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘The one who does not happen to be more honouring to the two fathers of his Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, than his own parents, so he isn’t from Allah-azwj in a Permissible, nor a Prohibited, nor little, nor more’.
وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع مَنْ آثَرَ طَاعَةَ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى طَاعَةِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ لَأُوثِرَنَّكَ كَمَا آثَرْتَنِي وَ لَأُشَرِّفَنَّكَ بِحَضْرَةِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ كَمَا شَرَّفْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِإِيثَارِ حُبِّهِمَا عَلَى حُبِّ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ
(Imam Hassan Al-Askari-asws said): ‘And Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘The one who prefers the obedience to the two fathers-asws of his Religion – Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, over the obedience of the father linked to him (biologically), Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says to him: “I-azwj shall Prefer you just as you preferred Me-azwj and I-azwj shall Ennoble you by the presence of the two fathers-asws of your Religion, just as you ennobled yourself by preferring their-asws love over the love of the father linked to you”.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ ذِي الْقُرْبى فَهُمْ مِنْ قَرَابَاتِكَ مِنْ أَبِيكَ وَ أُمِّكَ قِيلَ لَكَ اعْرِفْ حَقَّهُمْ كَمَا أَخَذَ بِهِ الْعَهْدَ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَعَاشِرَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِمَعْرِفَةِ قَرَابَاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص الَّذِينَ هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ بَعْدَهُ وَ مَنْ يَلِيهِمْ بَعْدُ مِنْ خِيَارِ أَهْلِ دِينِهِمْ.
And as for His-azwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic and the ones with relationship [2:83] – so they are from your relatives of your father and your mother. He-azwj Said to you – recognise their-asws rights just as the Covenant was Taken upon the Children of Israel, and Taken upon you all, group of community of Muhammad-saww, with recognising the rights of the relatives of Muhammad-saww, they are the Imams-asws from after him-saww, and ones who follow them afterwards, from the good people of their-asws Religion’’.
قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ رَعَى حَقَّ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْهِ أُعْطِيَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ بُعْدُ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ حُضْرُ الْفَرَسِ الْجَوَادِ الْمُضَمَّرِ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ إِحْدَى الدَّرَجَاتِ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ زُمُرُّدٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ زَبَرْجَدٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ مِسْكٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ عَنْبَرٍ وَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ كَافُورٍ وَ تِلْكَ الدَّرَجَاتُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَصْنَافِ
The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who take care of the right of the relatives of his parents – would be Granted in the Paradise, a thousand levels, the distance between every two levels being sprint of a steed horse a sprinting of one hundred years – one of the levels would be of silver, and another of gold, and another of pearls, and another of emeralds, and another of aquamarine, and another of musk, and another of amber, and another of camphor. So those levels would be of these qualities.
وَ مَنْ رَعَى حَقَّ قُرْبَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ أُوتِيَ مِنْ فَضْلِ الدَّرَجَاتِ وَ زِيَادَةِ الْمَثُوبَاتِ عَلَى قَدْرِ زِيَادَةِ فَضْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ.
And the one who takes care of the rights of the relatives of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, would be Given from the superior levels and additional Rewards – in accordance of the additional preference of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws over his own parents’.
وَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع لِبَعْضِ النِّسَاءِ أَرْضِي أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً بِسَخَطِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ وَ لَا تُرْضِي أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ بِسَخَطِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ فَإِنَّ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ إِنْ سَخِطَا أَرْضَاهُمَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ بِثَوَابِ جُزْءٍ مِنْ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ جُزْءٍ مِنْ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ طَاعَاتِهِمَا
And (Syeda) Fatima-asws said to one of the women: ‘Please the two fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws (even if) be angering your own parents, and do not please your own parents by angering the two fathers-asws of your Religion, for if your biological parents are angered, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws would please them by the Rewards of one part in a million from a moment from your being in obedience to them-asws.
وَ إِنَّ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ إِنْ سَخِطَا لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَبَوَا نَسَبِكَ أَنْ يُرْضِيَاهُمَا لِأَنَّ ثَوَابَ طَاعَاتِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا كُلِّهِمْ لَا تَفِي بِسَخَطِهِمَا.
And that the two fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, if they-asws are angered, your biological parents would not be able to please them-asws, because the Rewards of being in obedience to the people of the world, all of them, would not suffice with their-asws anger’.
وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَيْكَ بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ إِنْ أَضَعْتَ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ
Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘Upon you is with being good to the relatives of the fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, and even if (the rights of) your own parents are wasted.
وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ إِضَاعَةَ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ بِتَلَافِي قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ فَإِنَّ شُكْرَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ أَثْمَرُ لَكَ مِنْ شُكْرِ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَى أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ إِنَّ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ إِذَا شَكَرُوكَ عِنْدَهُمَا بِأَقَلِّ قَلِيلِ نَظَرِهِمَا لَكَ يَحُطُّ ذُنُوبُكَ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ مِلْءَ مَا بَيْنَ الثَّرَى إِلَى الْعَرْشِ
And beware of wasting (the rights of) the relatives of the fathers of your Religion (Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws) by avoiding the relatives of your own parents, for the gratefulness of these to the fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, would bear fruit for you, from the gratefulness of them-asws to your own parents. If the relatives of the fathers-asws of your Religion were to thank you in their-asws presence, with the smallest of the small of their-asws looks at you, it would delete your sins from you – and even if they were what could fill what is between the soils to the Throne.
وَ إِنَّ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ إِنْ شَكَرُوكَ عِنْدَهُمَا وَ قَدْ ضَيَّعْتَ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ لَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْكَ فَتِيلًا.
And if the relatives of your own parents were to thank you in their-asws presence, and you had wasted (the rights of) the relatives of the fathers-asws of your Religion, it would not avail from you even the husk of a date stone’.
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع حَقُّ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ أَوْلِيَائِهِمَا أَحَقُّ مِنْ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِنَا إِنَّ أَبَوَيْ دِينِنَا يُرْضِيَانِ عَنَّا أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِنَا وَ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِنَا لَا يَقْدِرَانِ أَنْ يُرْضِيَا عَنَّا أَبَوَيْ دِينِنَا محمد [مُحَمَّداً] وَ علي [عَلِيّاً] صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا.
And Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘The rights of the relatives of the two fathers of our Religion (Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws friends are more rightful than the relatives of our biological parents. The two fathers-asws of our Religion would please our biological parents on our behalf, and our biological parents would not be able to please the two fathers-asws of our Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, on our behalf.
وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع مَنْ كَانَ أَبَوَا دِينِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع آثَرَ لَدَيْهِ وَ قَرَابَاتُهُمَا أَكْرَمَ مِنْ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ وَ قَرَابَاتِهِمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَضَّلْتَ الْأَفْضَلَ لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ الْأَفْضَلَ وَ آثَرْتَ الْأَوْلَى بِالْإِيثَارِ لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ بِدَارِ قَرَارِي وَ مُنَادَمَةِ أَوْلِيَائِي أَوْلَى.
Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘The one to whom the two fathers-asws of his Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws were more preferable to him, and their-asws relatives were more prestigious unto him than his own parents and their relatives – Allah-azwj the Exalted would Say to him: “You preferred the superior, I-azwj shall Make you the superior, and you preferred the foremost with the preference, I-azwj shall Make you to be foremost in My-azwj House of tranquillity, and a companion of My-azwj friends”’.
وَ قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع مَنْ ضَاقَ عَنْ قَضَاءِ حَقِّ قُرُبَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ وَ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ وَ قَدَحَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي الْآخَرِ فَقَدَّمَ قَرَابَةَ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ عَلَى قَرَابَةِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَمَا قَدَّمَ قَرَابَةَ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ فَقَدِّمُوهُ إِلَى جِنَانِي فَيَزْدَادُ فَوْقَ مَا كَانَ أَعَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ ضِعْفِهَا.
And Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘The one who is too straitened from fulfilling the rights of the relatives of the two fathers-asws of his Religion and his own parents, and criticises each one of them regarding the other, giving priority to the relatives of the two fathers-asws of his Religion over the relatives of his own parents, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would be Saying on the Day of Judgment: “Just as he prioritised the relatives of the two fathers-asws of his Religion (Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws), to prioritise him to My-azwj Gardens!” So he would be increased with above what had been (originally) prepared for him from the levels, a million fold’.
وَ قَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ قَدْ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ فُلَاناً كَانَ لَهُ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ بِضَاعَتَانِ يَشْتَهِيهِمَا لَا يَتَّسِعُ بِضَاعَتُهُ لَهُمَا فَقَالَ أَيُّهُمَا أَرْبَحُ لِي فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا يَفْضُلُ رِبْحُهُ عَلَى هَذَا بِأَلْفِ ضِعْفٍ
And Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws said, and it had been said to him-asws, ‘So and so had a thousand Dirhams (and) two deals were presented to him, not having the capacity to buy both of them, so he says, ‘Which of the two is more profitable to me’. It is said to him, ‘This deal is more profitable than this by a thousand times’.
قَالَ أَ لَيْسَ يَلْزَمُهُ فِي عَقْلِهِ أَنْ يُؤْثِرَ الْأَفْضَلَ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ فَهَكَذَا إِيْثَارُ قَرَابَةِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ أَفْضَلُ ثَوَاباً بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ فَضْلَهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ فَضْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَى أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ.
He-asws said: ‘Does it not compel him in his mind that he should prefer the superior (deal)?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So similar to that, his preferring the relatives of the two fathers-asws of his Religion Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws would be of superior Rewards by more than that, because its merit is upon a measurement of preferring Muhammad-asws and Ali-asws over his own parents’.
وَ قِيلَ لِلرِّضَا ع أَ لَا نُخْبِرُكَ بِالْخَاسِرِ الْمُتَخَلِّفِ قَالَ مَنْ هُوَ قَالُوا فُلَانٌ بَاعَ دَنَانِيرَهُ بِدَرَاهِمَ أَخَذَهَا فَرَدَّ مَالَهُ عَنْ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ إِلَى عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ
And it was said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘Shall we inform you with the loser, the retard?’ He-asws said: ‘Who is he?’ They said, ‘So and so sold his Dinars for the Dirhams he took. So he returned his wealth from tend thousand Dinars (back) to ten thousand Dirhams’.
قَالَ بَدْرَةٌ بَاعَهَا بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ أَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَعْظَمَ تَخَلُّفاً وَ حَسْرَةً قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ أَ لَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا تَخَلُّفاً وَ حَسْرَةً قَالُوا بَلَى
He-asws said: ‘Ten thousand Dirhams, by selling it with a thousand Dirhams, would he not happen to be a greater retard and loser?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws inform you of a greater retard and loser than that, and of (greater) regret?’ They said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ أَ رَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ كَانَ لَهُ أَلْفُ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بَاعَهَا بِأَلْفِ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ زَيْفٍ أَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَعْظَمَ تَخَلُّفاً وَ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا حَسْرَةً قَالُوا بَلَى
He-asws said: ‘Are you seeing, if he had a thousand mountains of gold, (and) he sells it for a thousand artificial beads, would he not happen to be a greater retard and of a greater than this of regret?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So shall I-asws inform you with the one who is an even more severely retarded, and of greater than this of regret?’ They said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ أَ فَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَشَدَّ مِنْ هَذَا تَخَلُّفاً وَ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذَا حَسْرَةً قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ مَنْ آثَرَ فِي الْبِرِّ وَ الْمَعْرُوفِ قَرَابَةَ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ عَلَى قَرَابَةِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ لِأَنَّ فَضْلَ قَرَابَاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ عَلَى قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ فَضْلِ أَلْفِ جَبَلِ ذَهَبٍ عَلَى أَلْفِ حَبَّةٍ زَائِفٍ.
He-asws said: ‘The one who prefers regarding the righteousness and the goodness, the relatives of his own parents over the relatives of the fathers of his Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, because the merits of the relatives of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, the two fathers-asws of his Religion, over the relatives of his own parents, is superior than the excess of a thousand mountains of gold over a thousand artificial beads’.
وَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرِّضَا ع مَنِ اخْتَارَ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِهِ اخْتَارَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ يَوْمَ التَّنَادِ وَ شَهَرَهُ بِخِلَعِ كَرَامَاتِهِ وَ شَرَّفَهُ بِهَا عَلَى الْعِبَادِ إِلَّا مَنْ سَاوَاهُ فِي فَضَائِلِهِ أَوْ فَضْلِهِ.
And Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Reza-asws said: ‘The one who chooses the relatives of the two fathers of his Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, over the relatives of his own parents, Allah-azwj the Exalted would Choose over the chiefs of the people on the Day of Judgment, and Make him famous for his benevolence, and Ennoble him with it upon the servants – except for the ones besides him in his merits or his preference’.
وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع إِنَّ مِنْ إِعْظَامِ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ إِيْثَارَ قَرَابَةِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ وَ إِنَّ مِنَ التَّهَاوُنِ بِجَلَالِ اللَّهِ إِيثَارَ قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ نَسَبِكَ عَلَى قَرَابَاتِ أَبَوَيْ دِينِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ ع.
And Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws Said: ‘From the reverence of the Majesty of Allah-azwj, is to prefer the relatives of the two fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws over the relatives of your own parents; and that from the disrespect of the Majesty of Allah-azwj, is to prefer the relatives of your own parents over the relatives of the two fathers of your Religion, Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws’.
وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع إِنَّ رَجُلًا جَاعَ عِيَالُهُ فَخَرَجَ يَبْغِي لَهُمْ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فَكَسَبَ دِرْهَماً فَاشْتَرَى بِهِ خُبْزاً وَ أُدْماً فَمَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ وَ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ قَرَابَاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍع فَوَجَدَهُمَا جَائِعَيْنِ
And Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws said: ‘A man had hungry dependents, so he went out seeking for them what they could eat. He earned a Dirham and bought some bread and sauce with it. Then he passed by a man and a woman from the relatives of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, and he found them both to be hungry.
فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحَقُّ مِنْ قَرَابَاتِي فَأَعْطَاهُمَا إِيَّاهُمَا وَ لَمْ يَدْرِ بِمَا ذَا يَحْتَجُّ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَمْشِي رُوَيْداً يَتَفَكَّرُ فِيمَا يَتَعَذَّرُ بِهِ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ مَا فَعَلَ بِالدِّرْهَمِ إِذَا لَمْ يَجِئْهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ
He said, ‘They are more rightful than my own relatives’, and he gave it (the food) to them, and did not know with what he could (fulfil) the needs in his house. So he went on walking slowly, thinking regarding what excuse he can give within their presence – and he would have to be saying to them what he did with the Dirham, when he did not come to them with anything.
فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُتَحَيِّرٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ إِذاً بِفَيْجٍ يَطْلُبُهُ فَدُلَّ عَلَيْهِ فَأَوْصَلَ إِلَيْهِ كِتَاباً مِنْ مِصْرَ وَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ فِي صُرَّةٍ وَ قَالَ هَذِهِ بَقِيَّةٌ حَمَلْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ مَالِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ مَاتَ بِمِصْرَ وَ خَلَّفَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ عَلَى تُجَّارِ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ عَقَاراً كَثِيراً وَ مَالًا بِمِصْرَ بِأَضْعَافِ ذَلِكَ
While he was confused in his way, when there was a man seeking him. So he was pointed upon, and he gave him a letter from Egypt, and five hundred Dinars in a bag, and said, ‘This is a remnant of your wealth which I carried over to you from the wealth of your cousin who died in Egypt, and he left behind wealth of one hundred thousand Dinars upon the businessmen of Makkah and Al-Medina, and a lot of properties, and (more) wealth in Egypt in addition to that’.
فَأَخَذَ الْخَمْسَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَ وَضَعَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَ نَامَ لَيْلَتَهُ فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيّاً ع فَقَالا لَهُ كَيْفَ تَرَى إِغْنَاءَنَا لَكَ لِمَا آثَرْتَ قَرَابَتَنَا عَلَى قَرَابَتِكَ
So he took the five hundred Dinars and spent lavishly upon his dependents, and slept his night. He saw Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws (in his dream), and they-asws said to him: ‘How do you see our-asws enriching you due to your preferring our-asws relatives over your own relatives’.
ثُمَّ لَمْ يَبْقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَا بِمَكَّةَ مِمَّنْ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ إِلَّا أَتَاهُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَ قَالا لَهُ إِمَّا بَكَّرْتَ بِالْغَدَاةِ عَلَى فُلَانٍ بِحَقِّهِ مِنْ مِيرَاثِ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ وَ إِلَّا بَكَّرَ عَلَيْكَ بِهَلَاكِكَ وَ اصْطِلَامِكَ وَ إِزَالَةِ نِعَمِكَ وَ إِبَانَتِكَ مِنْ حَشَمِكَ
Then there did not remain in Al-Medina nor in Makkah, from the ones upon whom was something (debt) from the one hundred thousand Dinars, except Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws came (in their dreams) and said to them: ‘Rise up early tomorrow morning and pay back upon so and so his right, from the inheritance of his cousin, or else we-asws would rise up early upon you with your destruction your ruination, and your bounties would decline you would lose your servants’.
فَأَصْبَحُوا كُلُّهُمْ وَ حَمَلُوا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى حَصَلَ عِنْدَهُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ وَ مَا تُرِكَ أَحَدٌ بِمِصْرَ مِمَّنْ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَالٌ إِلَّا وَ أَتَاهُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَ أَمَرَاهُ أَمْرَ تَهَدُّدٍ بِتَعْجِيلِ مَالِ الرَّجُلِ أَسْرَعَ مَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ
So all of them came in the morning carrying over to the man whatever was upon him – until there was collected in his presence, one hundred thousand Dinars; and there did not leave anyone in Egypt, from the ones for whom was wealth with him, except Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws came to him in his dream and ordered him with a threatening order to make haste with the wealth of the man, and quickly as he could possibly do so.
وَ أَتَى مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ هَذَا الْمُؤْثِرَ لِقَرَابَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي مَنَامِهِ فَقَالا لَهُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ لَكَ قَدْ أَمَرْنَا مَنْ بِمِصْرَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ إِلَيْكَ مَالَكَ أَ فَنَأْمُرُ حَاكِمَهَا بِأَنْ يَبِيعَ عَقَارَكَ وَ أَمْلَاكَكَ وَ يُسَفْتِجَ إِلَيْكَ بِأَثْمَانِهَا لِتَشْتَرِيَ بَدَلَهَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ بَلَى
And Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws came to this (the one) who preferred the relatives of Rasool-Allah-saww in his dream, and they-asws said to him: ‘How do you see the Dealing of Allah-azwj for you? We-asws have ordered the ones in Egypt that he makes haste to you with your wealth. Shall we-asws order its judges with selling your properties and your chattels (inherited), and transfer its price over to you in exchange from Al-Medina?’ He said, ‘Yes’.
فَأَتَى مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع حَاكِمَ مِصْرَ فِي مَنَامِهِ فَأَمَرَاهُ أَنْ يَبِيعَ عَقَارَهُ وَ السُّفْتَجَةَ بِثَمَنِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَثْمَانِ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِينَارٍ فَصَارَ أَغْنَى مَنْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ
Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws came to the judge of Egypt in a dream, and they-asws ordered him to sell his properties and transfer its price over to him. So there was carried over to him from those prices, three hundred thousand Dinars, and he became from the richest ones in Al-Medina.
ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا جَزَاؤُكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى إِيثَارِ قَرَابَتِي عَلَى قَرَابَتِكَ وَ لَأُعْطِيَنَّكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ بَدَلَ كُلِّ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْفَ قَصْرٍ أَصْغَرُهَا أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَغْرِزُ كُلِّ إِبْرَةٍ مِنْهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا.
Then Rasool-Allah-saww came to him (in his dream) and he-saww said: ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! This is your recompense in the world upon preferring my-saww relatives over your own relatives, and you shall be given in the Hereafter, in exchange of each grain from this wealth, in the Paradise, a thousand castles, the smallest of these being bigger than the world, an insertion (eye) of a needle from it being better than the world and whatever is in it’’.[176]

My father narrated to me, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzl,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘The kinship of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww would be attached with the Throne saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! Maintain good relations with the one who maintained good relations with me, and Cut off the one who cut me off’, and it flows in every kinship, and this Verse was Revealed regarding the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.[177]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl who said,
‘I heard Al-Abd Al Salih (7th Imam-asws) saying: ‘And those who are maintaining the relationships what Allah has Commanded with maintaining, [13:21]. He-asws said: ‘The kinship of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’ – and mentioned similar to it up to his-asws words: ‘In every kinship’’.[178]

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – Ibn Al Barqy, from his father, from his grandfather, from Muhammad Bin Khalaf, from Yunus, from Amro Bin Jumie who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws with a number of his-asws companions, and I heard him-asws and he-asws said: ‘The kinship of the Imams-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww would be attached with the Throne on the Day of Qiyamah, and the kinship of the Momineen would be attached with it, saying, ‘O Lord-azwj! Maintain good relations with the one who maintained with us, and cut off the ones who cut us off’.
قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّحِمُ شَقَقْتُ اسْمَكَ مِنِ اسْمِي فَمَنْ وَصَلَكَ وَصَلْتُهُ وَ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ قَطَعْتُهُ وَ لِذَلِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الرَّحِمُ شِجْنَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted would Say: “I-azwj am the Beneficent, and I-azwj am the Merciful! I-azwj Derived your-saww name from My-azwj Name. So, the one who maintains good relations with you-saww, I-azwj shall Maintain it with him, and one who cuts you-saww off, I-azwj shall Cut it off from him”. And, for that (reason), Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The kinship is a branch (of everything) from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[179]
12- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ: وَ تَفْسِيرُ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ الرَّحْمنُ أَنَّ قَوْلَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ مُشْتَقٌّ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ.
Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari)-asws having said: ‘And Tafseer of His-azwj Words Mighty and Majestic, ‘The Beneficent’ – His-azwj Words ‘Beneficent’ is derived from the ‘kinship’ (Raham)’’.
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ وَ هِيَ الرَّحِمُ شَقَقْتُ لَهَا اسْماً مِنِ اسْمِي مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلْتُهُ وَ مَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعْتُهُ
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ““I-azwj am ‘The Beneficent’ and it is derived from the Mercy, a Name from My-azwj Names. Whoever connects to it I-azwj shall be Connected to him, and whoever cuts himself from it then I-azwj shall cut him off from My-azwj Mercy”.
ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَ وَ تَدْرِي مَا هَذِهِ الرَّحِمُ الَّتِي مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَ مَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ فَقِيلَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَثَّ بِهَذَا كُلَّ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُكْرِمُوا أَقْرِبَاءَهُمْ وَ يَصِلُوا أَرْحَامَهُمْ
Then Ali-asws said: ‘Do you know what this Mercy is that whoever connects to it is connected to the Beneficent?’ They said: ‘O Amir-Al-Momineen-asws! ‘Every community has been urged by this to honour their relatives and maintain good relations with them.’
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَ يَحُثُّهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَصِلُوا أَرْحَامَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ أَنْ يُعَظِّمُوا مَنْ حَقَّرَهُ اللَّهُ وَ أَوْجَبَ احْتِقَارَهُ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ قَالُوا لَا وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَحُثُّهُمْ عَلَى صِلَةِ أَرْحَامِهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
So he-asws said to them: ‘Have any of them obligated to maintain good relations with the disbelievers, and respect the ones whom He-azwj Has Belittled, and Enjoined the contempt of the disbelievers?’ They said: ‘No, but we have been urged to have good relations with the Momineen.’
قَالَ فَقَالَ أَوْجَبَ حُقُوقَ أَرْحَامِهِمْ لِاتِّصَالِهِمْ بِآبَائِهِمْ وَ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ فَهُمْ إِذاً إِنَّمَا يَقْضُونَ فِيهِمْ حُقُوقَ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
He-asws said: ‘Has He-azwj not has Enjoined this due to their connection with their fathers and mothers?’ They said: Yes, O brother-asws of the Rasool-Allah-saww.’ He-asws said: ‘Understand then, that by doing this they are making up the rights of their mothers and fathers’. I said, ‘Yes, O brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!
قَالَ فَآبَاؤُهُمْ وَ أُمَّهَاتُهُمْ إِنَّمَا غَذَّوْهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ وَقَوْهُمْ مَكَارِهَهَا وَ هِيَ نِعْمَةٌ زَائِلَةٌ وَ مَكْرُوهٌ يَنْقَضِي وَ رَسُولُ رَبِّهِمْ سَاقَهُمْ إِلَى نِعْمَةٍ دَائِمَةٍ لَا تَنْقَضِي وَ وَقَاهُمْ مَكْرُوهاً مُؤَبَّداً لَا يَبِيدُ فَأَيُّ النِّعْمَتَيْنِ أَعْظَمُ
He-asws said: ‘Their fathers and their mothers are providing them in the world and saving them from its abhorrence(s), and it is a declining bounty, and its abhorrence(s) will expire, and the Rasool-saww of their Lord-azwj ushered them to a permanent bounty not to expire, and saved them from its ever-lasting abhorrence(s) never to perish. So, which of the two bounties is greater?’
قُلْتُ نِعْمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَجَلُّ وَ أَعْظَمُ وَ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَحُثَّ عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَقِّ مَنْ صَغَّرَ اللَّهُ حَقَّهُ وَ لَا يَحُثَّ عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَقِّ مَنْ كَبَّرَ اللَّهُ حَقَّهُ قُلْتُ لَا يَجُوزُ ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘Bounty of Rasool-Allah-saww is more majestic, and more magnificent and greater’. He-asws said: ‘Then how can it be allowed that He-azwj would be Urging upon fulfilling a right of one whose right Allah-azwj has Kept as smaller and not Urge upon fulfilling a right of one whose right Allah-azwj has Kept as greater?’ I said, ‘That is not allowed’.
قَالَ فَإِذاً حَقُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حَقِّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ حَقُّ رَحِمِهِ أَيْضاً أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حَقِّ رَحِمِهِمَا فَرَحِمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَوْلَى بِالصِّلَةِ وَ أَعْظَمُ فِي الْقَطِيعَةِ
He-asws said: ‘The right of Rasool-Allah-saww is greater than the right of the parents and the right of his-saww relatives also is greater than the right of their own relatives. So, the maintenance of relations with the relatives of the Rasool-Allah-saww is greater and more highly prohibited to be cut off.
فَالْوَيْلُ كُلُّ الْوَيْلِ لِمَنْ قَطَعَهَا وَ الْوَيْلُ كُلُّ الْوَيْلِ لِمَنْ لَمْ يُعَظِّمْ حُرْمَتَهَا أَ وَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ حُرْمَةَ رَحِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حُرْمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَنَّ حُرْمَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْظَمُ حَقّاً مِنْ كُلِّ مُنْعِمٍ سِوَاهُ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مُنْعِمٍ سِوَاهُ إِنَّمَا أَنْعَمَ حَيْثُ قَيَّضَهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ رَبُّهُ وَ وَفَّقَهُ
So woe and all woe be on the one who cuts it off, and woe upon woe be on the one does not respect his-saww relatives. Do you not know that the sanctity of the relatives of the Rasool-Allah-saww is the sanctity of the Rasool-Allah-saww and that the sanctity of the Rasool-Allah-saww is the sanctity of Allah-azwj? Surely, Allah-azwj’s Right is greater than all, even from all the Bounties of His-azwj, and every bounty apart from it. But rather, He-azwj Chooses where it is destined to be for He-azwj is it’s Lord-azwj, and that Bounty is compatible with him’’.
أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ لِمُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ قُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي مَا الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ قَالَ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا مُوسَى أَ وَ تَدْرِي مَا بَلَغَتْ رَحْمَتِي إِيَّاكَ فَقَالَ مُوسَى أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ بِي مِنْ أُمِّي
Do you not know what Allah-azwj Said to Musa-as Bin Imran-as?’ I said, ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you-asws, what was it that He-azwj Said to him-as?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the High Said: ‘O Musa-as! Do you know what has reached to you-as of My-azwj Mercy?’ Musa-as said: ‘You-azwj are more Merciful to me-as than my father and mother.’
قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا مُوسَى وَ إِنَّمَا رَحْمَتُكَ أُمَّكَ لِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِي أَنَا الَّذِي رَفَقْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ وَ طَيَّبْتُ قَلْبَهَا لِتَتْرُكَ طِيبَ وَسَنِهَا لِتَرْبِيَتِكَ وَ لَوْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بِهَا لَكَانَتْ وَ سَائِرَ النِّسَاءِ سَوَاءً
Allah-azwj the High Said: ‘O Musa-as! But rather, the mercy of your mother to you-as was a Grace of My-azwj Mercy, and it was I-azwj Who inclined her towards you-as, and Refined her heart to avoid her rest for your upbringing, and if I-azwj had not Done that with her, then she would have been to you like any other woman’’.
يَا مُوسَى أَ تَدْرِي أَنَّ عَبْداً مِنْ عِبَادِي تَكُونُ لَهُ ذُنُوبٌ وَ خَطَايَا تَبْلُغُ أَعْنَانَ السَّمَاءِ فَأَغْفِرُهَا لَهُ وَ لَا أُبَالِي قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَ كَيْفَ لَا تُبَالِي
(Allah-azwj Said): “O Musa-as! Do you-as know that a servant from My-azwj servants happens to have sins for him and mistakes reaching to the limits of the sky, but I-azwj Forgive these for him and I-azwj don’t mind”. He-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! And how come You-azwj don’t mind (Forgiving these)?’
قَالَ تَعَالَى لِخَصْلَةٍ شَرِيفَةٍ تَكُونُ فِي عَبْدِي أُحِبُّهَا يُحِبُّ إِخْوَانَهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ يَتَعَاهَدُهُمْ وَ يُسَاوِي نَفْسَهُ بِهِمْ وَ لَا يَتَكَبَّرُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ لَا أُبَالِي
The Exalted-azwj Said: “Due to the noble characteristics occurring in My-azwj servant which I-azwj Love, and these are that he loves his brethren, the poor Momineen, and frequents with them, and equalises himself with them, and he is not arrogant upon them. So when he does that, I-azwj Forgive his sins for him, and I-azwj don’t mind.
يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ الْفَخْرَ رِدَائِي وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءَ إِزَارِي مَنْ نَازَعَنِي فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا عَذَّبْتُهُ بِنَارِي
O Musa! The pride is My-azwj Robe, and the Greatness is My-azwj Apparel. The one who snatches anything from Me-azwj of these, I-azwj shall Punish him with My-azwj Fire.
يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ مِنْ إِعْظَامِ جَلَالِي إِكْرَامَ عَبْدِيَ الَّذِي أَنَلْتُهُ حَظّاً مِنْ حُطَامِ الدُّنْيَا عَبْداً مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِناً قَصُرَتْ يَدُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنْ تَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِعَظِيمِ جَلَالِي
O Musa-as! From the Greatness of My-azwj Majesty is being benevolence of the servant whom I-azwj have Caused to achieve a share from the debris of the world, to a servant from My-azwj Momin servants, whose (financial) hand is short in the world. But, if he is arrogant upon him, so he has belittled the Greatness of My-azwj Majesty”’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِنَّ الرَّحِمَ الَّتِي اشْتَقَّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ بِقَوْلِهِ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ هِيَ رَحِمُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ إِنَّ مِنْ إِعْظَامِ اللَّهِ إِعْظَامَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ إِعْظَامِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِعْظَامَ رَحِمِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ كُلَّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا هُوَ مِنْ رَحِمِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ إِعْظَامَهُمْ مِنْ إِعْظَامِ مُحَمَّدٍ
Then Amir-Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The relatives (الرَّحِمَ) of the Prophet-saww which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Derived from His-azwj Mercy (رَحْمَتِهِ) by His-azwj Words: “I-azwj am The Beneficent [1:3]” – it is the relatives of Muhammad-saww (The Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww). And, from the Greatness of Allah-azwj is the greatness of Muhammad-saww, and from the greatness of Muhammad-saww is the greatness of the relatives of Muhammad-saww (the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww), and that every Momin and Momina from our-asws shias, is from the relatives of Muhammad-saww, and their greatness is from the greatness of Muhammad-saww.
فَالْوَيْلُ لِمَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِحُرْمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ طُوبَى لِمَنْ عَظَّمَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ أَكْرَمَ رَحِمَهُ وَ وَصَلَهَا.
Therefore, woe be unto the one who takes lightly with anything from the sanctity of Muhammad-saww, and beatitude is for the one who reveres his-saww sanctity, and honours his-saww relatives and its goodly maintenance’’.[180]

He-asws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Rasool-Allah-saww and the ones with his-saww kinship, and that is because every cause and lineage would be cut off on the Day of Qiyamah except one who was from his-saww cause and his-saww lineage.

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, raising it,
‘Regarding the Words of the Exalted: No! I do Swear by this city! [90:1] And you are a dweller in this city [90:2] And (I Swear by) a father and what he begot [90:3]. He-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws and what he-asws begot from the Imams-asws’’.

And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Qureysh used to revere the city and legalised (killing of) Muhammad-saww in it, so He-azwj Said: ‘No! I do Swear by this city! [90:1] And you are a dweller in this city [90:2] – Intending that they are legalising you-saww (to be killed) in it, belying you-saww and reviling you-saww’’. [189]

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Bistam Bin Murrah, from Is’haq Bin Hassan, from Al Haysam Bin Waqid, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Abdy, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata,
‘He asked Amir Al-Momineen-asws about the Words of the Exalted: “Be thankful to Me and to your parents! To Me is the destination” [31:14]. He-asws said: ‘The parents are those Allah-azwj has Obligated the thanks to them. They are those who begot the knowledge and inherited the wisdom, and He-azwj Commanded the people to obey them both. Then Allah-azwj Said: To Me is the destination” [31:14], so the destination of the servants is to Allah-azwj, and the evidence upon that are the two parents.
ثُمَّ عَطَفَ الْقَوْلَ عَلَى ابْنِ حَنْتَمَةَ وَ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ فِي الْخَاصِّ وَ الْعَامِ وَ إِنْ جاهَداكَ عَلى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي يَقُولُ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ وَ تَعْدِلَ عَمَّنْ أُمِرْتَ بِطَاعَتِهِ فَلا تُطِعْهُما وَ لَا تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَهُمَا
Then He-azwj Turned the Words upon Ibn Hantama and his companions, so He-azwj Said regarding the specials ones (Shias) and the general ones (Non-Shias): And if they both strive against you upon that you should associate with Me, [31:15],regarding the successor-ship (of the Imams-asws) and equate (others) with the ones whom you have been Commanded with his-asws obedience, then do not obey them, and do not listen to their words’.
ثُمَّ عَطَفَ الْقَوْلَ عَلَى الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَقَالَ وَ صاحِبْهُما فِي الدُّنْيا مَعْرُوفاً يَقُولُ عَرِّفِ النَّاسَ فَضْلَهُمَا وَ ادْعُ إِلَى سَبِيلِهِمَا وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ وَ اتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنابَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ
Then He-azwj Turned the Words upon the two parents, so He-azwj Said: and accompany kindly in the world. He-azwj is Saying to introduce the people to their-asws merits and call to their-asws ways, and that is in His-azwj Words: and follow the way of one who is penitent to Me, then to Me would be your Return.
فَقَالَ إِلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ لَا تَعْصُوا الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَإِنَّ رِضَاهُمَا رِضَا اللَّهِ وَ سَخَطَهُمَا سَخَطُ اللَّهِ.
So he-asws said: ‘To Allah-azwj, then to us-asws, therefore fear Allah-azwj and do not disobey the two (spiritual) parents (Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws), for their-asws pleasure is the Pleasure of Allah-azwj, and their-asws anger is the Anger of Allah-azwj’’.[190]

‘From his forefather-asws having said: ‘Jibraeel-as descended unto the Prophet-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! There will be born for you-asws such a birth, your-saww community will kill him from after you-saww’. He-saww said: ‘O Jibraeel-as! There is no need for me-saww regarding it’. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! From him-asws would be the Imams-asws and the successors-asws’.

He-asws said: ‘And the Prophet-saww came to (Syeda) Fatima-asws and said to her-asws: ‘You-asws will be Blessed by a son-asws, my-saww community will kill him-asws from after me-saww’. She-asws said: ‘There is no need for me-asws regarding him-asws’. He-saww addressed her-asws thrice, then said to her-asws: ‘From him-asws would be the Imams-asws and the successors-asws’. She-asws said: ‘Yes, O father-saww’.
فَحَمَلَتْ بِالْحُسَيْنِ فَحَفِظَهَا اللَّهُ وَ مَا فِي بَطْنِهَا مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ فَوَضَعَتْهُ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَ لَمْ يُسْمَعْ بِمَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ لِسِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ إِلَّا الْحُسَيْنُ وَ يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ع
She-asws bore and was Blessed with Al-Husayn-asws and there was no (share) from Iblees-la in her-asws belly. She-asws placed him-asws at six months, and no birth was heard to have been born at six months except Al Husayn-asws and Yahya Bin Zakariya-as.

باب 16 أن الأمانة في القرآن الإمامة
CHAPTER 16 – THE ‘ENTRUSTMENT’ IN THE QURAN IS THE ‘IMAMATE’
الآيات النساء إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَماناتِ إِلى أَهْلِها وَ إِذا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُمْ بِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ سَمِيعاً بَصِيراً
The Verses – (Surah) Al Nisaa: Allah Commands you to render the entrustments to their owners, and when you judge between the people you should be judging with the justice; surely Allah Advises you with what is good; Allah was always Hearing, Seeing [4:58]
الأحزاب إِنَّا عَرَضْنَا الْأَمانَةَ عَلَى السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْجِبالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَها وَ أَشْفَقْنَ مِنْها وَ حَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسانُ إِنَّهُ كانَ ظَلُوماً جَهُولًا
(Surah) Al Ahzaab: Surely, We Presented the Entrustment to the skies, and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it and feared from it, and the human being bore it; he was unjust, ignorant [33:72].
Notes –
فأمانات الله تعالى أوامره و نواهيه و أمانات عباده ما يأتمن بعضهم بعضا من المال عن ابن عباس و غيره و هو المروي عن أبي جعفر ع و أبي عبد الله ع.
The Entrustments of Allah-azwj the Exalted are His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Forbiddances, and entrustments of His-azwj servants are what they entrust to each other from the wealth – From Ibn Abbas and others, and it is reported from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws.
وَ رَوَاهُ أَصْحَابُنَا عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ وَ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: أَمَرَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ الْأَمْرَ إِلَى مَنْ بَعْدَهُ.
And our companions have reported from Al-Baqir-asws and Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj the Glorious Commanded each one from the Imams-asws that he-asws submits the command to the one-asws after him-asws’.
فَرُوِيَ عَنْهُمْ ع أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا آيَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا لَنَا وَ الْأُخْرَى لَكُمْ قال الله سبحانه إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَماناتِ إِلى أَهْلِها الآية و قال يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ.
It is reported from them-asws, they-asws said: ‘Two Verses, one of these is for us-asws and the other is for you all. Allah-azwj the Glorious Said: Allah Commands you to render the entrustments to their owners [4:58] – the Verse. And Said: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59]’.

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Ali Bin Ibrahim said regarding the Words of Mighty and Majestic: Surely, We Presented the Entrustment to the skies, and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it [33:72]. He said, ‘The Entrustment, it is the Imamate, and the Commands and the Prohibitions, and the evidence upon that is that the Entrustment it is the Imamate are the Words of Mighty and Majestic for the Imams-asws: Allah Commands you to render the entrustments to their owners [4:58] – meaning the Imamate.
وَ الْأَمَانَةُ الْإِمَامَةُ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْجِبَالِ فَأَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَحْمِلْنَها قَالَ أَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدَعُوهَا أَوْ يَغْصِبُوهَا أَهْلَهَا وَ أَشْفَقْنَ مِنْها وَ حَمَلَهَا الْإِنْسانُ أَيِ الْأَوَّلُ إِنَّهُ كانَ ظَلُوماً جَهُولًا لِيُعَذِّبَ اللَّهُ الْمُنافِقِينَ وَ الْمُنافِقاتِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ الْمُشْرِكاتِ وَ يَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِناتِ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً.
And the Entrustment is the Imamate, it was Presented to the skies and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to bear it [33:72]. He said, ‘They refused to claim it or usurp its rightful ones: and feared from it, and the human being bore it; – that is the first, he was unjust, ignorant [33:72] So Allah will Punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the polytheist men and the polytheist women, and Allah will Turn (mercifully) to the Momineen and the Mominaat, and Allah was always Forgiving, Merciful [33:73]’’.[212]

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Abu Bakr Al Shirazy in (the book) ‘Nuzool Al Quran Fi Sha’an Ali-asws, by the chain from Muqatil, from Muhammad Bin Al Hanafiyya,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws regarding the Words of the Exalted: Surely, We Presented the Entrustment [33:72]: ‘Allah-azwj Presented my-asws Entrustment (Wilayah) upon the seven skies with the Rewards and the Punishments. They said, ‘Our Lord-azwj! We will not bear it with the Rewards and the Punishments, but we shall bear it without any Rewards nor any Punishments’.
وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَرَضَ أَمَانَتِي وَ وَلَايَتِي عَلَى الطُّيُورِ فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهَا الْبُزَاةُ الْبِيضُ وَ الْقَنَابِرُ وَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ جَحَدَهَا الْبُومُ وَ الْعَنْقَاءُ فَلَعَنَهُمَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ بَيْنِ الطُّيُورِ فَأَمَّا الْبُومُ فَلَا تَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ بِالنَّهَارِ لِبُغْضِ الطَّيْرِ لَهَا وَ أَمَّا الْعَنْقَاءُ فَغَابَتْ فِي الْبِحَارِ لَا تُرَى
And Allah-azwj Presented my-asws Entrustment and my-asws Wilayah to the birds, and the first one to believe in it was the white falcon and the lark, and the first one to reject is was the owl and the phoenix, so Allah-azwj the Exalted Cursed them both from the between the birds. As for the owl, so it is not able to appear by the day to one of the birds, and as for the phoenix, it disappeared in the seas, not to be seen.
وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَرَضَ أَمَانَتِي عَلَى الْأَرَضِينَ فَكُلُّ بُقْعَةٍ آمَنَتْ بِوَلَايَتِي جَعَلَهَا طَيِّبَةً زَكِيَّةً وَ جَعَلَ نَبَاتَهَا وَ ثَمَرَتَهَا حُلْواً عَذْباً وَ جَعَلَ مَاءَهَا زُلَالًا وَ كُلُّ بُقْعَةٍ جَحَدَتْ إِمَامَتِي وَ أَنْكَرَتْ وَلَايَتِي جَعَلَهَا سَبِخاً وَ جَعَلَ نَبَاتَهَا مُرّاً عَلْقَماً وَ جَعَلَ ثَمَرَهَا الْعَوْسَجَ وَ الْحَنْظَلَ وَ جَعَلَ مَاءَهَا مِلْحاً أُجَاجاً
And Allah-azwj Presented my-asws Entrustment to the lands, so every spot which believed in my-asws Wilayah was Made to be good, clean, and its vegetation and its fruits were made to be sweet, fresh, and its water to be cool; and every spot which rejected my-asws Entrustment and denied my-asws Wilayah was Made to be marshy, and its vegetation was made to be bitter, colocynth, and its fruits Made to be thorny and the shrub, and its water Made to be salty, bitter’.

Then He-azwj Said: and the human being bore it; [33:72] – meaning: ‘Your-saww community O Muhammad-saww, (bore) the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and his-asws Imamate with whatever is therein from the Rewards and the Punishments he was unjust, – to himself, ignorant [33:72] of the Command of his Lord-azwj.

‘From (Syeda) Fatima-asws Al Zahra having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When there was an ascension with me-saww to the sky, I-saww came to Al-Sidrat Al-Muntaha: So he was (at a distance of) two bows or nearer [53:9]. I-saww Sighted Him-azwj with my-saww heart and did not see Him-azwj with my-saww eyes.

Then I-saww heard an Azaan, double, double, and an Iqaamah, single, single. Then I-saww heard a Caller Calling out: “O My-azwj Angels and dwellers of My-azwj skies and My-azwj earth, and bearers of the My-azwj Throne!

He (Suheyb) said, ‘Ibn Abbas said, ‘By Allah-azwj! He-azwj neither Entrusted them Dinars nor Dirhams, nor any treasure from the treasures of the earth, but He-azwj Revealed to the skies and the earth and the mountains from before He-azwj Created Adam-as: “I-azwj am Leaving in you-as the offspring, offspring of Muhammad-saww. So what will you be doing with them-asws? When they-asws call you so answer them-asws, and when they shelter with you, so shelter them-asws”.
وَ أَوْحَى إِلَى الْجِبَالِ إِذَا دَعَوْكِ فَأَجِيبِيهِمْ وَ أَطِيعِي عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَشْفَقْنَ مِنْهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ الْجِبَالُ عَمَّا سَأَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ فَحَمَلَهَا بَنُو آدَمَ فَحَمَلُوهَا
And He-azwj Revealed to the mountains: “When they-asws call you, so answer them-asws and be obedient (to them-asws) against their-asws enemies!” The skies and the earth and the mountains feared from it from what Allah-azwj had Asked from the obedience, but the children of Adam-as bore it and carried it’.
قَالَ عَبَّادٌ قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ع وَ اللَّهِ مَا وَفَوْا بِمَا حَمَلُوا مِنْ طَاعَتِهِمْ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘His-asws answer was that he-asws said: ‘Have you not seen those Given a portion of the Book? They are believing in the false god and the tyrant, – so and so, and so and so, and they are saying to those who are committing Kufr, ‘They are more guided of the way than those who are believing’. [4:51], saying, the imams of the straying and the callers to the Fire, they are more guided than the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their-asws friends, of the way.
أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَلْعَنِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ نَصِيراً أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ يَعْنِي الْإِمَامَةَ وَ الْخِلَافَةَ فَإِذاً لا يُؤْتُونَ النَّاسَ نَقِيراً نَحْنُ النَّاسُ الَّذِينَ عَنَى اللَّهُ وَ النَّقِيرُ النُّقْطَةُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَ فِي وَسَطِ النَّوَاةِ
They are those whom Allah has Cursed; and the one whom Allah Curses, so you will never find there being a helper for him [4:52] Or is there for them a share in the Kingdom? – meaning the Imamate and the Caliphate, (If) So, they would not be giving the people (even) the speck of the date stone [4:53]. We-asws are the people, those Allah-azwj Meant, and the speck is the spot which you tend to see in the middle of the husk.
أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلى ما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَنَحْنُ الْمَحْسُودُونَ عَلَى مَا آتَانَا اللَّهُ مِنَ الْإِمَامَةِ دُونَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظِيماً يَقُولُ فَجَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمُ الرُّسُلَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ
Or are they envying the people upon what Allah has Given them from His Grace? – so we-asws are the envied ones upon what Allah-azwj has Given us-asws from the Imamate, besides the creatures of Allah-azwj altogether, So We have Given the Progeny of Ibrahim, the Book and the Wisdom, and have Given them a grand kingdom [4:54]. He-azwj is Saying: “We-azwj have Made from them the Rasools-as and the Prophets-as and the Imams-asws’.

So, how come they are acknowledging with that regarding the Progeny-asws of Ibrahim-as and are denying regarding the Progeny of Muhammad-saww? From them is one who believes in him, and of them is he who turns away from him and would be sufficed with Hell as a Blazing Fire [4:55] – up to His-azwj Words: and We shall Enter them to be in dense shade [4:57]’.

وَ ذَكَرَ فِي آخِرِ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ سَنَحَ لَهُمْ شَيْطَانٌ اعْتَرَّهُمْ بِالشُّبْهَةِ وَ لَبَّسَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَمْرَ دِينِهِمْ وَ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا ظَهَرَتْ فِرْيَتُهُمْ وَ اتَّفَقَتْ كَلِمَتُهُمْ وَ نَقَمُوا عَلَى عَالِمِهِمْ وَ أَرَادُوا الْهُدَى مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَقَالُوا لِمَ وَ مَنْ وَ كَيْفَ
And he-asws mentioned at the end of the letter: ‘They are the people to whom the Satan deluded with the uncertainties and clothed them with the matters of their Religion, and that is due to what their forgeries were manifested and they formed a consensus on their speech, and they lied upon their scholars, and they intended the guidance from their own selves, so they said, ‘Why, and who, and how?’
فَأَتَاهُمُ الْهُلْكُ مِنْ مَأْمَنِ احْتِيَاطِهِمْ وَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ ما رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَلْ كَانَ الْفَرْضُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الْوَاجِبُ لَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوُقُوفَ عِنْدَ التَّحَيُّرِ وَ رَدَّ مَا جَهِلُوهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ وَ مُسْتَنْبِطِهِ
So the destruction came to them from the safety of their precautions, and that was due to what their hands had earned, and your Lord is not in the least unjust to the servants [41:46]. And that neither happened to be for them nor against them, but it was an Imposition upon them and the Obligation for them from that is pausing during the confusion, and referring what they were ignorant of from that to its knowing one and its extracting one.
لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ وَ لَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَ إِلى أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنْبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ يَعْنِي آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنْبِطُونَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ يَعْرِفُونَ الْحَلَالَ وَ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُمُ الْحُجَّةُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ.
(This is) because Allah-azwj is Saying in the Decisive of His-azwj Book: and if they had referred it to the Rasool and to the (Divine) Authority from them they would have known it, those who can extract it [4:83] – Meaning the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and they-asws are those who should be extracting from the Quran, and they-asws are recognising the Permissible and the Prohibitions, and they-asws are the (Divine) Authorities of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures’’.[256]

Al Shaby – ‘Ibn Abbas said: ‘They are the rulers of the government and Ali-asws is their first one’.[258] (Not a Hadeeth)
39- وَ سَأَلَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيٍّ جَعْفَرَ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ.
And Al-Hassan Bin Salih Bin Hayy asked Ja’far Al-Sadiq-asws about that. He-asws said: ‘The Imams-asws from the People-asws of the Household of Rasool-Allah-saww’’.[259]

Tafseer Mujahid – ‘But rather it was Revealed regarding Amir Al-Momineen when Rasool-Allah-saww left him-asws behind at Al-Medina, so he-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Are you-saww leaving me-asws behind between the women and the children?’ He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Are you-asws not pleased that you-asws happen to be from me-saww at the status of Haroun-as from Musa-as when he-as said to him-as: ‘Be my Caliph among my people and be righteous, [7:142]’. He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj!’’[260]

and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59], Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘Rulers of Allah-azwj commanding the community after Muhammad-saww when Rasool-Allah-saww left him-asws behind at Al-Medina, so Allah-azwj Commanded the servants with obeying him-asws, and leave opposing him-asws’’.[261]

Al Majalis of Al Mufeed – Al Jiany, from Is’haq Bin Muhammad, from Zayd Al Muaddil, from Sayf Bin Amro, from Muhammad Bin Kureyb, from his father, from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Listen and obey the ones with Divine Authority of Allah-azwj for it is a system of Al-Islam!’’[263]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Ahmad transmitting from Bureyda who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’far-asws and I asked him-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Or are they envying the people upon what Allah has Given them from His Grace? [4:54].
قَالَ فَنَحْنُ النَّاسُ وَ نَحْنُ الْمَحْسُودُونَ عَلَى مَا آتَانَا اللَّهُ مِنَ الْإِمَامَةِ دُونَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظِيماً جَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمُ الرُّسُلَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع
He-asws said: ‘We-asws are the people, and we-asws are the ones envied upon what Allah-azwj has Given us-asws of the Imamate besides the creatures of Allah-azwj altogether: So We have Given the Progeny of Ibrahim, the Book and the Wisdom, and have Given them a grand kingdom [4:54]. We-azwj Made the Rasools-as and the Prophets-as and the Imams-asws be from them.
فَكَيْفَ يُقِرُّونَ بِهَا فِي آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِهَا فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ صَدَّ عَنْهُ وَ كَفى بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيراً.
How come they are acknowledging with it regarding the Progeny of Ibrahim and are belying with it regarding the Progeny of Muhammad-saww? From them is one who believes in him, and of them is he who turns away from him [4:55]’’.[264]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the Allama in (the book) ‘Kashf Al-Haq’ regarding the Words of the Exalted: Or are they envying the people upon what Allah has Given them from His Grace? [4:54]. Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘We-asws are the people’’.[265]

And it is reported by Ibn Hajar (Shafie) in (the book) ‘Sawaiqa’, he said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Magazily extracted from Al-Baqir-asws that he-asws said regarding this Verse: ‘We-asws the people, by Allah-azwj!’’[266]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Fazari transmitting from Abu Ja’far-asws about the Words of the Exalted: Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you.

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ahmad Bin Al Qasim transmitting from Abu Maryam who said,
‘I asked Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59]. The obedience to Ali-asws was Obligatory’.
قَالَ كَانَتْ طَاعَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص خَاصَّةً مُفْتَرَضَةً لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ اللَّهَ وَ كَانَتْ طَاعَةُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع طَاعَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.
The obedience to Rasool-Allah-saww in particular was Obligatory due to the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: There is one who obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah [4:80]. Thus, obedience to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is obedience to Rasool-Allah-saww’’.[269]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim Bin Suleyman transmitting from Isa Bin Al Sary who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me about the pillars of Al-Islam which there is no leeway for anyone from the people to be deficient from recognising anything from it, which one who is deficient of anything from it, his Religion would be spoilt upon him, and his deeds would not be Accepted from him, and he would not be straightened from what he is by being ignorant of anything from the matters of his ignorance’.

He-asws said: ‘Testimony that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and the Eman with His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the acknowledgment with that he-saww had come with from the Presence of Allah-azwj, and the Zakat, and the Wilayah which Allah-azwj Commanded with, Wilayah of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Is there in the Wilayah merit besides anything which the ones who takes would be recognised with it?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَكَانَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.

He-asws said: ‘The Fitna (strife), is the Kufr (disbelief)’’.

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Uzina, from Bureyd who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws recited: Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59] Thus, if you were to quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Rasool, and to the ones with (Divine) Authority among you [4:59]’.

Tafseer Al Qummi – Muhammad Bin Hammam, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saig, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Salih Bin Sahl Al Hamdany who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Allah is Light of the skies and the earth. An example of His Light is like a niche [24:35] – The niche is (Syeda) Fatima-asws,
فِيها مِصْباحٌ الْحَسَنُ الْمِصْباحُ الْحُسَيْنُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ الزُّجاجَةُ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌ كَأَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ بَيْنَ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ يُوقَدُ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ لَا يَهُودِيَّةٍ وَ لَا نَصْرَانِيَّةٍ
wherein is a lamp – Al-Hassan-asws is the lamp,Al-Husayn-asws is in a glass, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star – It is as if Fatima-asws is the brightly shining star between the women of the world and women of the people of the Paradise, ignited from a Blessed olive tree – ignited from Ibrahim-as, neither eastern nor western – neither Jewish nor Christian.
يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِيءُ يَكَادُ الْعِلْمُ يَنْفَجِرُ مِنْهَا وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ إِمَامٌ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ إِمَامٍ
Its oil almost illuminates – illumination of the knowledge which almost explodes from her-asws, and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light – an Imam-asws from her-asws after an Imam-asws.
يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِلْأَئِمَّةِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to -Allah-azwj Guides to the Imams-asws ones He-azwj so Desires to. and Allah Strikes examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35].
أَوْ كَظُلُماتٍ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ فِي بَحْرٍ لُجِّيٍّ يَغْشاهُ مَوْجٌ يَعْنِي نَعْثَلَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ مَوْجٌ طَلْحَةُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ ظُلُماتٌ بَعْضُها فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ فِتَنُ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ
Or like the darkness [24:40] -so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), in the fathomless ocean, a wave covers it -meaning Na’sal (Umar), from above a wave – Talha and Al Zubeyr, darkness on top of each other – Muawiya and Yazeed and the strife of the clan of Umayya.
إِذا أَخْرَجَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَدَهُ فِي ظُلْمَةِ فِتْنَتِهِمْ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَراها وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ نُوراً فَما لَهُ مِنْ نُورٍ فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ إِمَامٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَمْشِي بِنُورِهِ
When he – the Momin, holds out his hand – in the darkness of their Fitna, he almost cannot see it; And one for whom Allah does not Make light to be for him – of the Imams-asws from the sons-asws of (Syeda) Fatima-asws then there would be no light for him [24:40] of an Imam-asws, on the Day of Qiyamah, to walk by his-asws light’.
وَ قَالَ فِي قَوْلِهِ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ بِأَيْمانِهِمْ قَالَ أَئِمَّةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.
And he-asws said regarding His-azwj Words: their Light running in front of them and on their right [57:12]. He-asws said: ‘Imams-asws of the Momineen, on the Day of Qiyamah, their-asws light (Noor) would be running in front of them and on their right until they descend in their houses in the Paradise’’.[286]

I said, ‘ignited from a Blessed olive tree, neither eastern nor western?’ He-asws said: ‘That is Amir-Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, neither Jewish nor Christian’.

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Abdullah Bin Jundab,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having written to him in a letter: ‘Our-asws example in the Book of Allah-azwj is a niche and the niche is in the lantern. So, we-asws are the niche, wherein is a lamp, – the lamp is Muhammad-saww Rasool-Allah-saww, the lamp is in a glass, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star ignited from a Blessed tree of olives, neither eastern nor western. – neither a caller nor a denier.
يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِيءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ الْقُرْآنُ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ إِمَامٌ بَعْدَ إِمَامٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ فَالنُّورُ عَلِيٌّ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِوَلَايَتِنَا مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ وَلِيَّنَا مُشْرِقاً وَجْهُهُ نَيِّراً بُرْهَانُهُ ظَاهِرَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُجَّتُهُ
Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. – the Quran, Light upon Light. – an Imam-asws after an Imam-asws. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to, and Allah Strikes examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35]. So, the Light (Noor) is Ali-asws. Allah-azwj Guides to our-asws Wilayah one He-azwj Loves, and there is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Resurrects the one in our-asws Wilayah, as shining of face, radiating his proofs manifesting his arguments in the Presence of Allah-azwj.
حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ وَلِيَّنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً.
There is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Makes the one in our-asws Wilayah with be with the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]’’.[289]

Tafseer Al Qummi – Ali Bin Al Husayn, from Al Barqy, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Abu Khalid Al Kabuli who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Therefore believe in Allah and His Rasool and the Light which We Sent down [64:8]. So he-asws said: ‘O Abu Khalid! The Light (النُّور), by Allah-azwj, are the Imams-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww up to the Day of Judgment, and they-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the Light (النُّور) of Allah-azwj which descended, and they-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the Light (النُّور) of Allah-azwj in the skies and in the earth, by Allah-azwj!’
يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَنُورُ الْإِمَامِ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْوَرُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الْمُضِيئَةِ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ هُمْ وَ اللَّهِ يُنَوِّرُونَ قُلُوبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ يَحْجُبُ اللَّهُ نُورَهُمْ عَمَّنْ يَشَاءُ فَتُظْلِمُ قُلُوبُهُمْ
O Abu Khalid! The Light (النُّور) of the Imam-asws in the hearts of the Momineen is more radiant than the bright sun by the day. By Allah-azwj! They-asws are radiating the hearts of the Momineen and He-azwj Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Blocks their-asws Light (النُّور) from the ones He-azwj so Desires to, so it darkens their hearts.
وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا خَالِدٍ لَا يُحِبُّنَا عَبْدٌ وَ يَتَوَلَّانَا حَتَّى يُطَهِّرَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ وَ لَا يُطَهِّرُ اللَّهُ قَلْبَ عَبْدٍ حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ لَنَا وَ يَكُونَ سِلْماً لَنَا فَإِذَا كَانَ سِلْماً لَنَا سَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَدِيدِ الْحِسَابِ وَ آمَنَهُ مِنْ فَزَعِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الْأَكْبَرِ.
By Allah-azwj, O Abu Khalid! No servant would respond to us-asws and be in our-asws Wilayah until Allah-azwj Cleans his heart, and Allah-azwj does not Clean a heart of a servant until he submits to us-asws and becomes submissive to us-asws. So when he was submissive to us-asws. Allah-azwj would Secure him from the difficulties of the Reckoning, and Secure him from the great horrors of the Day of Judgment’’.[290]

So, the one who attains from that Noor would be guided to the Wilayah of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and one who does not attain from that Noor would stray from the Wilayah of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.[291]

Allah-azwj Took the Covenant of Rasool-Allah-saww upon the Prophets-as that they-as inform their-as communities and they-as should help him-saww. So, they had helped him-saww with the words, and ordered their-as communities with that, and Rasool-Allah-saww will return, and they-as would be returning and helping him-saww in the world’’.[294]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws related the story for the two groups (good and evil) together during the Covenant, until he-asws reached the Exclusion (separation) from Allah-azwj regarding the two groups, so he-asws said: ‘The good and the evil are two creatures from the creatures of Allah-azwj. There is Desire for Him-azwj regarding them both regarding the conversion of what He-azwj so Desire in what He-azwj has Pre-determined regarding it, a state from a state.
وَ الْمَشِيَّةُ فِيمَا خَلَقَ لَهُمَا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فِي مُنْتَهَى مَا قَسَمَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَ الشَّرِّ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِياؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُماتِ فَالنُّورُ هُمْ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ الظُّلُمَاتُ عَدُوُّهُمْ.
And the Desire in what He-azwj Created for them from His-azwj creatures in the end, what He-azwj has Apportioned for them from the good and the evil, and that is because He-azwj Said in His-azwj Book: Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He Extracts them from the darkness’s into the Light; and (as for) those who are committing Kufr, their guardian is the tyrant who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness [2:257]. So, the light, they-asws are the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and the darkness’s are their-asws enemies’’.[297]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Fazary transmitting from Jabir who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘It has reached us-asws, and Allah-azwj is more Knowing, that the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Allah is Light of the skies and the earth. An example of His Light – of Muhammad-saww, is like a niche [24:35]. The niche, it is the chest of the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj, wherein is a lamp, – and it is the knowledge.

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Fazary transmitting from Al Husayn Bin Abdullah Bin Jundab who said,
‘A parchment came out to us and it mentioned that he had written to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have become old, and weak, and am frustrated from a lot of what I used to be strong upon. May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I would love it if you-asws could teach me a speech (which would) draw me closer to my Lord-azwj and increase me in understanding and knowledge’.
فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ قَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِكِتَابٍ فَاقْرَأْهُ وَ تَفَهَّمْهُ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ شِفَاءً لِمَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ شِفَاهُ وَ هُدًى لِمَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ هُدَاهُ فَأَكْثِرْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ
He-asws wrote to him: ‘I-asws have sent a letter to you so read it and understand it, for therein is a healing for the one whom Allah-azwj Wants to Heal, and guidance for the one Allah-azwj Wants to Guide. Frequent from mentioning (recite the following frequently):
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent’,
وَ اقْرَأْهَا عَلَى صَفْوَانَ وَ آدَمَ
and recited it upon Safwan and Adam’.
قَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ آدَمُ كَانَ رجل [رَجُلًا] مِنْ أَصْحَابِ صَفْوَانَ.
Abu Al-Tahir said, ‘Adam was a man from the companions of Safwan’’.

Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘Surely, Muhammad-saww was a trustee of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth. When Muhammad-saww passed away, we-asws, People-asws of the Household were trustees of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth. With us-asws is the knowledge of the afflictions and the deaths, and the lineages of the Arabs, and births of Al-Islam, and we-asws tend to recognise the man when we-asws see him with the reality of the Eman and with reality of the hypocrisy and our-asws Shias are written, well-known with their names and names of their fathers.
أَخَذَ اللَّهُ الْمِيثَاقَ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَرِدُونَ مَوَارِدَنَا وَ يَدْخُلُونَ مَدَاخِلَنَا لَيْسَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ غَيْرُنَا وَ غَيْرُهُمْ إِنَّا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ آخِذُونَ بِحُجْزَةِ نَبِيِّنَا وَ نَبِيُّنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجْزَةِ رَبِّهِ وَ إِنَّ الْحُجْزَةَ النُّورُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا آخِذُونَ بِحُجَزِنَا
Allah-azwj Took the Covenant upon us-asws and upon them. They are turning our-asws turnings and entering our-asws entrances. There isn’t anyone upon the Religion of Ibrahim-as, Friend of Allah-azwj, apart from us-asws and them. On the Day of Qiyamah, we-asws will be holding with a side of our-asws Prophet-saww, and our-asws Prophet-saww would hold a Side of his-saww Lord-azwj, and that the ‘side’ is the Light (Noor), and our-asws Shias would be holding with our-asws sides.
مَنْ فَارَقَنَا هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ تَبِعَنَا نَجَا وَ الْجَاحِدُ لِوَلَايَتِنَا كَافِرٌ وَ مُتَّبِعُنَا وَ تَابِعُ أَوْلِيَائِنَا مُؤْمِنٌ لَا يُحِبُّنَا كَافِرٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا مُؤْمِنٌ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ مُحِبُّنَا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ مَعَنَا نَحْنُ نُورٌ لِمَنْ تَبِعَنَا وَ نُورٌ لِمَنِ اقْتَدَى بِنَا
One who separates from us-asws is destroyed, and one who follows us-asws attains salvation, and the rejecter of our-asws Wilayah is a Kafir, and our-asws follower and follower of our-asws friends is a Momin. Neither will a Kafir love us-asws nor will a Momin hate us-asws. One who dies and he loves us-asws would have a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Resurrects him with us-asws. We-asws are a Noor (Light) for one who follows us-asws and a Noor for the one who believes in us-asws.
مَنْ رَغِبَ عَنَّا لَيْسَ مِنَّا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ فِي شَيْءٍ بِنَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ الدِّينَ وَ بِنَا يَخْتِمُهُ وَ بِنَا أَطْعَمَكُمُ اللَّهُ عُشْبَ الْأَرْضِ وَ بِنَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ وَ بِنَا آمَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ فِي بَحْرِكُمْ وَ مِنَ الْخَسْفِ فِي بَرِّكُمْ
One who turns away from us-asws isn’t from us-asws, and one who does not become with us-asws, so he isn’t from Al-Islam in anything. With us-asws Allah-azwj Began the Religion and with us-asws He-azwj will End it, and due to us-asws Allah-azwj Feeds you-asws the herbs of the earth, and due to us-asws Allah-azwj Send down upon you drops (rain) of the sky, and due to us-asws Allah-azwj has Secured you from the drowning in your sea, and from the submergence in your land.
وَ بِنَا نَفَعَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي حَيَاتِكُمْ وَ فِي قُبُورِكُمْ وَ فِي مَحْشَرِكُمْ وَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ وَ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِكُمُ الْجِنَانَ
And by us-asws Allah-azwj will benefit you during your lifetimes and in your graves, and during your Resurrections, and at the Bridge, and by the Scale, and at the entrance of the Gardens.
إِنَّ مَثَلَنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الْمِشْكَاةِ وَ الْمِشْكَاةُ فِي الْقِنْدِيلِ فَنَحْنُ الْمِشْكَاةُ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ وَ الْمِصْبَاحُ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص الْمِصْباحُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ نَحْنُ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌ تُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ لَا مُنْكَرَةٍ وَ لَا دَعِيَّةٍ يَكادُ زَيْتُها نُورٌ يُضِيءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ الْفُرْقَانُ عَلى نُورٍ
Our-asws example in the book of Allah-azwj is like an example of the niche, and the niche is in the lantern. So we-asws are a niche wherein is a lamp, he-saww is Muhammad-saww, the lamp is in a glass. We-asws are the glass, as if it is a brightly shining star ignited from a Blessed tree of olives, neither eastern nor western – neither denier nor a caller, Its oil – light – almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light the Quran, upon Light.
يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ لِوَلَايَتِنَا وَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ بِأَنْ يَهْدِي مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِوَلَايَتِنَا حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ وَلِيَّنَا مُشْرِقاً وَجْهُهُ نَيِّراً بُرْهَانُهُ عَظِيماً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُجَّتُهُ وَ يَجِيءُ عَدُوُّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُسْوَدّاً وَجْهُهُ مُدْحَضَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُجَّتُهُ
Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to, – to our-asws Wilayah, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35], with that He-azwj Guides ones He-azwj Loves to our-asws Wilayah, there being a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Resurrects ones in our-asws Wilayah being of a shiny face, radiating, his proofs being great in the Presence of Allah-azwj of his arguments, and our-asws enemy would come on the Day of Qiyamah being blackened of face, his arguments being Refuted in the Presence of Allah-azwj.
حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ وَلِيَّنَا رَفِيقَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ عَدُوَّنَا رَفِيقاً لِلشَّيَاطِينِ وَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ بِئْسَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقاً
There is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Makes our-asws friend as a friend of the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69], and there is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Makes our-asws enemy to be a friend of the Satan-la and the Kafirs, and evil are they as friends.
لِشَهِيدِنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ غَيْرِنَا بِعَشْرِ دَرَجَاتٍ وَ لِشَهِيدِ شِيعَتِنَا عَلَى شَهِيدِ غَيْرِنَا سَبْعُ دَرَجَاتٍ فَنَحْنُ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ نَحْنُ أَفْرَاطُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِاللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ الْمَخْصُوصُونَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِدِينِ اللَّهِ
For our-asws martyr there is a merit over the other martyrs by ten ranks, and a martyr of our-asws Shia over the other martyr by seven ranks. We-asws are the captains, and we-asws are the inheritors of the Prophets-as, and we-asws are the sons-asws of the successors-asws, and we-asws are the foremost of the people with Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the envied ones in the Book of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the foremost of the people with the Religion of Allah-azwj.
وَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ شَرَعَ اللَّهُ لَنَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدِّينِ ما وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحاً وَ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ ما وَصَّيْنا بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ مُوسى وَ عِيسى فَقَدْ عَلَّمَنَا وَ بَلَّغَنَا مَا عَلِمْنَا وَ اسْتَوْدَعَنَا عِلْمَهُمْ وَ نَحْنُ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ أُولِي الْعِلْمِ
And we-asws are those Allah-azwj Legislated for us-asws, so He-azwj Said: He has Legislated for you – O Muhammad-saww, from the Religion what He Bequeathed with to Noah, and which We Revealed to you, and what We Bequeathed with to Ibrahim, and Musa, and Isa – So, we-asws taught and delivered and entrusted, and we-asws are the inheritors of the Prophets-as, and we-asws are the offspring of the ones with knowledge.
أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ يَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ لا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ وَ كُونُوا عَلَى جَمَاعَتِكُمْ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع ما تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُنِيبُ مَنْ يُجِيبُكَ إِلَى وَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.
that: “Establish the Religion – O Muhammad-saww, and do not be divided in it!” – and be upon your community, Greatly difficult it is upon those who associate – one who associate with the Wilayah of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, what you are calling them to. – from the Wilayah of Ali-asws. O Muhammad-saww! Surely, Allah Chooses to the ones He so Desires to and He Guides ones who are penitent [42:13], one who love you-asws, to the Wilayah of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[305]

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ali Bin Al Husayn, from Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
‘Abdullah Bin Jundab wrote to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! There is weakness in me, so strengthen me’.
قَالَ فَأَمَرَ عَلِيٌّ الْحَسَنَ ع ابْنَهُ أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَيْهِ كِتَاباً
He (the narrator) said, ‘Ali-asws instructed his-asws son-asws Al-Hassan-asws that he-asws writes a letter to him.

He said, ‘Al-Hassan-asws wrote: ‘Muhammad-saww was a trustee of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth. When Muhammad-saww passed away it was us-asws, People-asws of the Household. We-asws are the trustees of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth’ – and continued the Hadeeth similar to what has passed except that in it: ‘ignited from a Blessed tree [24:35] – Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, neither eastern nor western – well known, neither Jewish nor Christian’’.[306]

(The books) ‘Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Wahban, from Ahmad Bin Ja’far Al Asoul, from Ali Bin Al Husayn, from Humeyd Bin Al Rabie, from haysam Bin Bashir, from Abu Is’haq Al haris Bin Abdullah,
‘From Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww ascended the pulpit and said:’ Allah-azwj Looked at the people of the earth with a consideration and Chose me-saww from them. Then He-azwj Looked secondly and Chose Ali-asws as my-saww brother-asws, and my-saww Vizier, and my-saww inheritor, and my-saww successor-asws, and my-saww Caliph in my-saww community, and Guardian of every Momin after me-saww.
مَنْ تَوَلَّاهُ تَوَلَّى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُ عَادَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ وَ هُوَ نُورُ الْأَرْضِ بَعْدِي وَ رُكْنُهَا وَ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى وَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى
One who befriends him-asws Allah-azwj would befriend him, and one who is inimical to him-asws Allah-azwj would be Inimical to him, and one who loves him-asws, Allah-azwj would Love him, and one who hates him-asws, Allah-azwj would Hate him. By Allah-azwj! No one will love him-asws except a Momin nor hate him-asws except a Kafir, and he-asws is a Noor (light) of the earth after me-saww, and its cornerstone, and he-asws is the Pious Word, and the Firmest Handhold’.
ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكافِرُونَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَقَالَتِي هَذِهِ يُبَلِّغُهَا شَاهِدُكُمْ غَائِبَكُمْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww recited: They are intending to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah Refused except that He would Complete His Light, and even though the Kafirs dislike it [9:32]. O you people! These words of mine-asws, your present ones should deliver to your absent ones. O Allah-azwj! I-saww keep You-azwj as Witness upon them!
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نَظَرَ ثَالِثَةً وَ اخْتَارَ بَعْدِي وَ بَعْدَ أَخِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَحَدَ عَشَرَ إِمَاماً وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ وَاحِدٌ قَامَ وَاحِدٌ مَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ كُلَّمَا غَابَ نَجْمٌ طَلَعَ نَجْمٌ هُدَاةٌ مَهْدِيُّونَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ كَيْدُ مَنْ كَادَهُمُ وَ خَذَلَهُمْ
O you people! And Allah-azwj Looked thirdly and Chose after me-saww and after my-saww brother-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, eleven Imams-asws, one-asws after another-asws. Every time one-asws passes away, another one-asws like him-asws stands, like an example of the stars of the sky, every time a star disappears a star emerges. (They-asws) are guides, Guided, it does not harm them-asws, a plot of the one who plots against them-asws and their abandonment.
هُمْ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ شُهَدَاؤُهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُمْ عَصَى اللَّهَ هُمْ مَعَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْقُرْآنُ مَعَهُمْ لَا يُفَارِقُونَهُ حَتَّى يَرِدُوا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
They-asws are the Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth and His-azwj witnesses upon His-azwj creatures. One who obeys them-asws obeys Allah-azwj, and one who disobeys them-asws disobeys Allah-azwj. They-asws are with the Quran and the Quran is with them-asws, not separating until they return to me-saww at the Fountain’’.[322]

Al Kafi in Al Rowza (Volume 8) – From Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Ali Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said in a lengthy Hadeeth regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: (I Swear) by the star when it swoops down [53:1]: he-asws said; ‘(It means) I-azwj Swear by the (Holy) grave of Muhammad-saww when he-saww passes away, Your companion does not err – in giving out the virtues of the People-asws of his-saww Household.
وَ ما غَوى وَ ما يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوى يَقُولُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِفَضْلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ بِهَوَاهُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحى
and does not deviate [53:2] And he does not speak out of (personal) desire [53:3]. He-azwj is Saying that he-saww does not speak of the virtues of the People-asws of his-saww Household out of his-saww own desires, and these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Surely it is only a Revelation He Revealed [53:4].
وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص قُلْ لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدِي ما تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ لَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ قَالَ لَوْ أَنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُعْلِمَكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْفَيْتُمْ فِي صُدُورِكُمْ مِنِ اسْتِعْجَالِكُمْ بِمَوْتِي لِتَظْلِمُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammad-saww: Say: ‘If it was with me, what you are hastening with, the matter would have been decided between me and you, [6:58]. He-saww said: ‘If I-saww had been Commanded, I-saww would have let you know of that which you are hiding in your chests, from your hastening my-saww expiry so you can oppress People of my-saww Household from after me-saww.
فَكَانَ مَثَلُكُمْ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ ناراً فَلَمَّا أَضاءَتْ ما حَوْلَهُ يَقُولُ أَضَاءَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص كَمَا تُضِيءُ الشَّمْسُ فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلَ مُحَمَّدٍ الشَّمْسَ وَ مَثَلَ الْوَصِيِّ الْقَمَرَ
Your example is as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: like the example of those who kindled a fire, but when it had illumined all around them, [2:17]. He-azwj is Saying the earth is illuminated with the Noor (light) of Muhammad-saww just as the sun illuminates. So, Allah-azwj Struck an example of Muhammad-saww (with) the sun and an example of the successor-asws (with) the moon.
وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِياءً وَ الْقَمَرَ نُوراً وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ آيَةٌ لَهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهارَ فَإِذا هُمْ مُظْلِمُونَ وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ ذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَ تَرَكَهُمْ فِي ظُلُماتٍ لا يُبْصِرُونَ يَعْنِي قُبِضَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَظَهَرَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ فَلَمْ يُبْصِرُوا فَضْلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ إِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى لا يَسْمَعُوا وَ تَراهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ
And it is His-azwj Word, Mighty is His-azwj Mention: Made the sun a brightness and the moon a light, [10:5]; and His-azwj Word: And a Sign to them is the night. We Withdraw the day from it, so then they are in darkness [36:37]; and the Words of Mighty and Majestic: Allah Took away their light, and left them in darkness – not seeing [2:17], meaning Muhammad-saww passes away and the darkness will appear, so they will not be seeing the merits of the People-asws of his-saww Household, and it His-azwj Word Mighty and Majestic: And even if you do invite them to Guidance, they will not be listening, and you will see them looking towards you and they are not seeing [7:198].
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَضَعَ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ عِنْدَ الْوَصِيِّ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَقُولُ أَنَا هَادِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ وَ هُوَ نُورِيَ الَّذِي يُهْتَدَى بِهِ مَثَلُ الْمِشْكَاةِ فِيهَا الْمِصْبَاحُ فَالْمِشْكَاةُ قَلْبُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ الْمِصْبَاحُ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْعِلْمُ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww placed the knowledge which was with him-saww, to be with the successor-asws, and it is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Allah is Light of the skies and the earth [24:35], Saying: “I-azwj am the Guide of the skies and the earth. An example of the knowledge which I-azwj Give, and it is My-azwj Light which you can be guided with is an example of the niche, in it is the lamp”. So the niche is the heart of Muhammad-saww, and the lamp is the light which is in it, the knowledge.
وَ قَوْلُهُ الْمِصْباحُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْبِضَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ عِنْدَ الْوَصِيِّ كَمَا يُجْعَلُ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي الزُّجَاجَةِ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌ فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ فَضْلَ الْوَصِيِّ تُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ
And His-azwj Words: the lamp is in a glass, He-azwj is Saying: “I-azwj Want to Expire you-saww, therefore make that which is with you-saww to be with the successor-asws”, just as He-azwj Made the lamp to be in the glass: as if it is a brightly shining star. So, he-saww taught them the merit of the successor-asws, ignited from a Blessed tree of olives.
فَأَصْلُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ع وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ رَحْمَتُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
The origin of the Blessed tree is Ibrahim-as, and it is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings are upon you, the People of the Household, surely He is Praised, Glorious [11:73]; and it is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Surely Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34].
لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَقُولُ لَسْتُمْ بِيَهُودَ فَتُصَلُّوا قِبَلَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لَا نَصَارَى فَتُصَلُّوا قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ أَنْتُمْ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ص وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ ما كانَ إِبْراهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَ لا نَصْرانِيًّا وَ لكِنْ كانَ حَنِيفاً مُسْلِماً وَ ما كانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
neither eastern nor western – He-azwj is Saying: “You aren’t Jews facing the west, nor Christians facing the east, and you are upon the Religion of Ibrahim-as”. And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: Ibrahim was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim (submitter), and he was not from the Polytheists [3:67].
وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِيءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ أَوْلَادِكُمُ الَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ مِنْكُمْ مَثَلُ الزَّيْتِ الَّذِي يُعْصَرُ مِنَ الزَّيْتُونَ
And the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to – He-azwj is Saying: “And example of your children, those being born from you-saww is an example of the oil which is squeezed from the olives”
يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِيءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَقُولُ يَكَادُونَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ لَوْ لَمْ يُنْزَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلَكٌ.
Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to – He-azwj is Saying: “They-asws are almost speaking with the Prophet-hood, and even though the Angel did not descend upon them-asws’’.[323]

(The book) ‘Al Ghayba’ of Al Numany – Al Kulayni, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Al Aziz Al Abdy, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I tend to mingle with the people, and I am frequently astounded from people who are not in your-asws Wilayah and are in the wilayah of so and so, and so and so. For them (people), is trustworthiness, and truthfulness, and loyalty. And there are a people who are in your-asws guardianship (Wilayah), there isn’t that trustworthiness for them, nor the loyalty and the truthfulness’.
قَالَ فَاسْتَوَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جَالِساً وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ كَالْمُغْضَبِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا دِينَ لِمَنْ دَانَ بِوِلَايَةِ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا عَتْبَ عَلَى مَنْ دَانَ بِوِلَايَةِ إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws sat upright and turned towards me as if angered, then said: ‘There is no Religion for the one who makes it a Religion by the guardianship of a tyrannous imam (leader) who isn’t from Allah-azwj, nor is there any blame upon the one who makes it a Religion by the Wilayah of a Just Imam-asws from Allah-azwj’.
قُلْتُ لَا دِينَ لِأُولَئِكَ وَ لَا عَتْبَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ
I said, ‘There is no Religion for those ones and there is no blame upon these ones?’ (He-asws said: ‘Yes! There is no Religion for those ones and there is no blame upon these ones’).
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَا تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ مِنْ ظُلُمَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ إِلَى نُورِ التَّوْبَةِ أَوِ الْمَغْفِرَةِ لِوَلَايَتِهِمْ كُلَّ إِمَامٍ عَادِلٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘Have you not listened to the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He Extracts them from the darkness’s into the Light [2:257]? It Means, from the darkness of the sins to the light of the repentance and the Forgiveness, due to their Wilayah for every just Imam-asws from Allah-azwj.
قَالَ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِياؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُماتِ فَأَيُّ نُورٍ يَكُونُ لِلْكَافِرِ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى نُورِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمَّا تَوَالَوْا كُلَّ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ خَرَجُوا بِوَلَايَتِهِمْ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ نُورِ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَى ظُلُمَاتِ الْكُفْرِ فَأَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُمُ النَّارَ مَعَ الْكُفَّارِ فَقَالَ أُولئِكَ أَصْحابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيها خالِدُونَ.
And He-azwj Said and (as for) those who are committing Kufr, their guardian is the tyrant who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness [2:257]. But rather it Means by this that they were upon the light of Al-Islam. So when they took as guardians every tyrannical imam (leader) who wasn’t from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, they exited from the light of Al-Islam due to their befriending them, to the darkness of the disbelief. Thus, Allah-azwj Obligated the Fire for them along with the disbelievers these are the inmates of the Fire; they would be in it eternally [2:257]’’.[324]
