The Verses
النساء وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّسُولَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً
(Surah) Al Nisaa: And the one who obeys Allah and the Rasool, so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]
ذلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ عَلِيماً
That is the Grace from Allah, and Suffice with Allah as a Knower [4:70]
المائدة وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغالِبُونَ
(Surah) Al Maidah’ – And whoever takes Allah and His Rasool and those who believe for a Guardian, then they are the party of Allah, they would be triumphant [5:56].
الأحزاب يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْراً كَثِيراً
(Surah) Al Ahzaab – O you who believe! Do Zikr of Allah, abundant Zikr [33:41]
وَ سَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا
And Glorify Him morning and evening [33:42]
هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَ مَلائِكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَ كانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيماً
He is the One Who Sends Salawat upon you and (so do) His Angels, in order to Extract you (Momineen) from the multiple darkness to the Light, and He was always Merciful to the Momineen [33:43]
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ وَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْراً كَرِيماً
Their salutation on the Day that they meet Him shall be, Peace! And He has Prepared for them an honourable Recompense [33:44]
المؤمن الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تابُوا وَ اتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ وَ قِهِمْ عَذابَ الْجَحِيمِ
(Surah) Al Momin – Those who are holding the Throne and ones around it are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord and are believing in Him and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe, ‘Our Lord! Your Mercy and Knowledge Extends to all things, therefore Forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and Save them from the Punishment of the Blazing Fire!’ [40:7]
رَبَّنا وَ أَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَهُمْ وَ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبائِهِمْ وَ أَزْواجِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
Our Lord! And enter them into the Gardens of Eden which You Promised them, and one who were righteous from their fathers and their wives and their offspring, surely You are the Mighty, the Wise [40:8]
وَ قِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ وَ مَنْ تَقِ السَّيِّئاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ وَ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
And Save them from evil deeds, and the one You Save from the evil deeds on this Day, so You have been Merciful to him, and that, it is the mighty success [40:9]
الحجرات وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمانَ وَ زَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ كَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوقَ وَ الْعِصْيانَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الرَّاشِدُونَ
(Surah) Al Hujuraat: But, Allah Endeared the Eman to you and Adorned it in your hearts and Caused you to dislike the Kufr, and the transgression, and the disobedience. These are the ones who are Guided ones [49:7]
فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ نِعْمَةً وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Being a Grace from Allah and a Favour, and Allah is Knowing, Wise [49:8].

(Forbidden) interpretation (opinionated)
وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ قال الطبرسي قِيلَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ شَدِيدَ الْحُبِّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَلِيلَ الصَّبْرِ عِنْدَهُ
And the one who obeys Allah [4:69] – Al-Tabarsee said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Sowban, a slave of Rasool-Allah-saww, and he was of intense love for Rasool-Allah-saww, little of the patience in his-saww presence.
فَأَتَاهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ قَدْ تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ وَ نَحَلَ جِسْمُهُ فَقَالَ ع يَا ثَوْبَانُ مَا غَيَّرَ لَوْنَكَ
One day he came to him-saww and his colour had changed, and his body had slimmed. He-saww said: ‘O Sowban! What changed your colour?’
فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا بِي مِنْ مَرَضٍ وَ لَا وَجَعٍ غَيْرُ أَنِّي إِذَا لَمْ أَرَكَ اشْتَقْتُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ الْآخِرَةَ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَرَاكَ هُنَاكَ لِأَنِّي عَرَفْتُ أَنَّكَ تُرْفَعُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ إِنِّي إِنْ أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ كُنْتُ فِي مَنْزِلَةٍ أَدْنَى مِنْ مَنْزِلَتِكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ أُدْخَلِ الْجَنَّةَ فَلَا أَحْسَبُ أَنْ أَرَاكَ أَبَداً
He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! There is no illness with me nor any pain, apart from that when I do not see you-saww, I yearn to you-saww until I meet you-saww. Then I remember the Hereafter, so I fear that I may not see you-saww over there, because I have recognised that you-saww will be Raised with the Prophets-as, and if I were to enter the Paradise, I would be of a lower status than your-saww status, and if I do not enter the Paradise, then I don’t reckon I will see you-saww, ever!’
فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ص وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يُؤْمِنَنَّ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ أَبَوَيْهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
So, the Verse was Revealed. Then he-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! A servant will not believe until I-saww happen to be more beloved to him than his own self, and his parents, and his wife, and his children and the people altogether!’
وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالُوا مَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نُفَارِقَكَ فَإِنَّا لَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَأَمَّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ تُرْفَعُ فَوْقَنَا بِفَضْلِكَ فَلَا نَرَاكَ
And it is said, ‘The companions of Rasool-Allah-saww said, ‘It is not befitting for us that we you separate from you-saww, for we may not see you-saww except in the world. As for in the Hereafter, you-saww will be raised above us due to your-saww merits, so we will not see you-saww’.
فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ.
So, the Verse was Revealed’ – from Qatadah, and Masrouq Bin Al-Ajda’a.
ثم قال و المعنى وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ بالانقياد لأمره و نهيه وَ الرَّسُولَ باتباع شريعته و الرضا بحكمه فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ في الجنة
Then he (Tabarsee) said, ‘And the meaning of: And the one who obeys Allah [4:69] – by submitting to His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibitions – and the Rasool, – by following his‑saww Law and be pleased with his-saww decisions – so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours – in the Paradise.
ثم بين المنعم عليهم فقال مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ يريد أنه يستمتع برؤيتهم و زيارتهم و الحضور معهم فلا ينبغي أن يتوهم من أجل أنهم في أعلى عليين أنه لا يراهم
Then He-azwj Explained the ones Favoured upon, so He-azwj Said: from the Prophets and the Truthful – intending by it the enjoyment of seeing them-as, and visiting them-as, and attending with them-as, so it is not befitting that one accused for the reason that they are in the high Illiyeen and he will not be seeing them-as.
و قيل في معنى الصديق إنه المصدق بكل ما أمر الله به و بأنبيائه لا يدخله في ذلك شك و يؤيده قوله وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ
And it is said regarding the meaning of ‘the truthful’, and he is the ratifier with all what Allah‑azwj has Commanded with, and with His-azwj Prophets-as. The doubt does not enter into him regarding that. And it is supported by His-azwj Words: And those who believe in Allah and His Rasool, they are the truthful [57:19].
وَ الشُّهَداءِ يعني المقتولين في الجهاد وَ الصَّالِحِينَ أي صلحاء المؤمنين الذين لم تبلغ درجتهم درجة النبيين و الصديقين و الشهداء وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً معناه من يكون هؤلاء رفقاؤه فأحسن بهم من رفيق أو فما أحسنهم من رفيق.
and the Martyrs – meaning the ones killed in the Jihad – and the Righteous; – i.e., the righteous Momineen, the ones whose ranks do not reach the ranks of the Prophets, and the truthful, and the martyrs – and a goodly company are they! [4:69] – meaning the one whose friends they become, so he is excellent with them as his friends, or how excellent are these friends.
ثم- روى ما سيأتي برواية العياشي عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله ع
Then, I (Majlisi) shall be coming with a report of Al-Ayyashi, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah-asws. (see note below)
أبو بصير عن أبي عبد اللّه عليه السلام أنّه قال: يا أبا محمّد لقد ذكركم اللّه في كتابه ثمّ تلا هذه الآية، و قال: فالنبى رسول اللّه، و نحن الصديقون و الشهداء. و أنتم الصالحون فتسموا بالصلاح كما سماكم اللّه تعالى.
Note – Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all (Shias) in His-azwj Book!’ Then he-asws recited this Verse and said: ‘The ‘Prophet’ is Rasool-Allah-saww, and we-asws are the truthful and the martyrs, and you (Shias) are the righteous. You name yourselves as being with the righteousness like what Allah-azwj the Exalted has Named you all’.
ثم قال ذلِكَ إشارة إلى الكون مع النبيين و الصديقين الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ما تفضل الله به على من أطاعه وَ كَفى بِاللَّهِ عَلِيماً بالعصاة و المطيعين و المنافقين و المخلصين و قيل معناه حسبك الله عالما بكنه جزاء المطيعين على حقه و توفير الحظ فيه انتهى.
Then he (Tabarsee) said, ‘That – is an indication of being with the Prophets and the truthful – is the Grace from Allah, – What Allah-azwj has Graced with upon the ones obeying Him-azwj – and suffice with Allah as a Knower [4:70] – with the disobedience ones, and the obedient ones, and the hypocrites, and the sincere ones. And it is said, ‘It’s meaning is, Allah-azwj Suffices you as a known with Recompense being for the obedient one upon his right, and fulfill the share in it’ – end.
و أقول قد مضت أخبار كثيرة في كتاب الإمامة في أن الصديقين و الشهداء هم الأئمة ع بل الصالحين أيضا
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Many Ahadeeth have passed in the book of Imamate regarding that the truthful and the martyrs, they are the Imams-asws, but the righteous ones as well’.
وَ قَدْ رَوَى الْكُلَيْنِيُّ ره فِي رَوْضَةِ الْكَافِي فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِ أَتْبَاعِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ وَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً فَهَذَا وَجْهٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ فَضْلِ أَتْبَاعِ الْأَئِمَّةِ فَكَيْفَ بِهِمْ وَ بِفَضْلِهِمْ.
And it is reported by Al-Kulayni in (the book) ‘Rowzat Al-Kafi’, in a lengthy Hadeeth,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘Are you not listening to what Allah-azwj has Mentioned regarding the merits of the followers of the Imams-asws of Guidance? And they are the Mominoun. He-azwj Said: ‘so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours – up to His-azwj Words – and a goodly company are they! [4:69]. So, this is an aspect from aspects of merits of the followers of Imams-asws. So how can they (general Muslims) be with them (Shias) and with their (Shias) merits?’’
و في تفسير علي بن إبراهيم النَّبِيِّينَ رسول الله وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ علي وَ الشُّهَداءِ الحسن و الحسين وَ الصَّالِحِينَ الأئمة وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً القائم من آل محمد صلوات الله عليهم
And in Tafseer of Ali Bin Ibrahim – the Prophets – is Rasool-Allah-saww – and the Truthful – is Ali-asws – and the Martyrs – are Al-Hasan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws – and the Righteous; – are the Imams-asws – and a goodly company are they! [4:69] – Al-Qaim-asws from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws’.
وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ هذه الآية بعد قوله سبحانه إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا و قد مر أن الذين آمنوا أمير المؤمنين و الأئمة صلوات الله عليهم بالروايات المتواترة من طرق العامة و الخاصة
And whoever takes Allah for a Guardian, [5:56] – This Verse is after Words of the Glorious: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, [5:55], and it has passed that those who are believing, is Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, with the recurrent reports from ways of the general Muslims and the special (Shias).
فمن تولاهم و نصرهم و اتخذهم أئمة فهم حزب الله و أنصاره و هم الغالبون في الدنيا بالحجة و في الآخرة بالانتقام من أعدائهم و ظهور حجتهم بل في الدنيا أيضا في زمن القائم ع.
So, the one who befriends them-asws, and helps them-asws, and takes them-asws as Imams-asws, so they are the party of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj helpers, and they-asws are the ones to prevail in the world with the arguments, and in the Hereafter with the avenging from their-asws enemies, and the appearance of their-asws arguments in the world also during the era of Al-Qaim-asws.
هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَ مَلائِكَتُهُ في المجمع الصلاة من الله تعالى المغفرة و الرحمة و قيل الثناء و قيل هي الكرامة و أما صلاة الملائكة فهي دعاؤهم و قيل طلبهم إنزال الرحمة من الله تعالى
He is the One Who Sends Salawat upon you and (so do) His Angels, [33:43] – in ‘Al-Majma’a’, ‘The Salawaat from Allah-azwj the Exalted is the Forgiveness and the Mercy’. And it is said, ‘the praise’. And it is said, it is the honour. And as for the Salawaat of the Angels, it is their supplications. And it is said, ‘Their seeking descent of the Mercy from Allah-azwj the Exalted.
لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ أي من الجهل بالله سبحانه إلى معرفته فشبه الجهل بالظلمات و المعرفة بالنور لأن هذا يقود إلى الجنة و ذلك يقود إلى النار و قيل من الضلالة إلى الهدى بألطافه و هدايته و قيل من ظلمات النار إلى نور الجنة
in order to Extract you (Momineen) from the multiple darkness to the Light, – i.e., from the ignorance about Allah-azwj to recognising Him-azwj, so He-azwj Resembled the ignorance with the multiple darkness and the understanding with the Light, because this leads to the Paradise and that leads to the Fire. And it is said, ‘From the straying to the guidance with His-azwj Kindness and His-azwj Guidance’. And it is said, ‘From the darkness of the Fire to the light of Paradise’.
وَ كانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيماً خص المؤمنين بالرحمة دون غيرهم لأن الله سبحانه جعل الإيمان بمنزلة العلة في إيجاب الرحمة و النعمة العظيمة التي هي الثواب
and He was always Merciful to the Momineen [33:43] – Particularising the Momineen with the Mercy besides others, because Allah-azwj the Glorious Make the Eman at the status of the reason in obligation the Mercy and the mighty bounty which is the Reward.
تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ أي يحيي بعضهم بعضا يوم يلقون ثواب الله بأن يقولوا السلامة لكم من جميع الآفات و لقاء الله سبحانه لقاء ثوابه عز و جل.
Their salutation on the Day that they meet Him shall be, Peace! [33:44] – i.e., Their saluting to each other on the day they will be receiving the Rewards of Allah-azwj by saying, ‘The peace (safety) with to you from entirety of the afflictions, and meeting Allah-azwj the Glorious receiving rewards of Mighty and Majestic.
و روي عن البراء بن عازب أنه قال يوم يلقون ملك الموت لا يقبض روح مؤمن إلا سلم عليه فعلى هذا يكون المعنى تحية المؤمن من ملك الموت يوم يلقونه أن يسلم عليهم و ملك الموت مذكور في الملائكة
And it is reported from Al-Bara’a Bin Aazib having said, ‘The day they will be meeting the Angel of death. The soul of a Momin will not be captured except he would be greeted upon. This deed would be of the meaning, salutation of the Momin from the Angel of death on the day they meet him, that he will be saluting to them, and the Angel of death is mentioned among the Angels.
وَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ أَجْراً كَرِيماً أي ثوابا جزيلا انتهى تفسير
And He has Prepared for them an honourable Recompense [33:44] – i.e., plentiful Rewards – end of interpretation.
و أقول رَوَى الْعَامَّةُ بِأَسَانِيدَ جَمَّةٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صَلَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصَلِّ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَ غَيْرُهُ.
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the general Muslims by many chains, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The Angels sent Salawaat unto me-as and unto Ali-asws for seven years, and that is because no one else had prayed Salat during it apart from me-saww and him‑asws’’.
وَ رَوَى الصَّدُوقُ فِي التَّوْحِيدِ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع يَقُولُ فِيهِ وَ قَدْ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَمَّا اشْتَبَهَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ وَ اللِّقَاءُ هُوَ الْبَعْثُ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مِنْ لِقَائِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْبَعْثَ وَ كَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ سَلامٌ يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَزُولُ الْإِيمَانُ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ.
And it is reported by Al-Sadouq in (the book) ‘Al-Sadouq’ in a lengthy Hadeeth, from Ali-asws saying in it, and he-asws had been asked by a man about what had been confusing upon him from the Verses, and the meeting: ‘It is the Resurrection, for entirety of what is in the Book of Allah-azwj about meeting Him-azwj, it means the Resurrection by that; and like that are His‑azwj Words: Their salutation on the Day that they meet Him shall be, Peace! [33:44] – meaning that the Eman will not decline from their hearts on the Day they will be Resurrected’.
و قال في المجمع في قوله تعالى الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ عبادة لله و امتثالا لأمره
And he (Tabarsee) said in (the book) ‘Al-Majma’a’ regarding Words of the Exalted: Those who are holding the Throne [40:7] – worshipping Allah-azwj and being obedient to His-azwj Commands.
وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يعني الملائكة المطيفين بالعرش و هم الكروبيون و سادة الملائكة يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ أي ينزهون ربهم عما يصفه به هؤلاء المجادلون
– and ones around it – meaning the Angels, the ones performing Tawaaf of the Throne, and they are the ones of Proximity and chiefs of the Angels – are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord – i.e., they are removing their Lord-azwj from what these arguers are describing Him-azwj with.
و قيل يسبحونه بالتسبيح المعهود و يحمدونه على إنعامه وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ أي و يصدقون به و يعترفون بوحدانيته
And it is said, ‘They are glorifying with the usual glorification and are praising Him-azwj upon His-azwj Favours – i.e., and they are ratifying and acknowledging with His-azwj Oneness.
وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ أي يسألون الله المغفرة لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا من أهل الأرض أي صدقوا بوحدانية الله و اعترفوا بإلهيته و بما يجب الاعتراف به و يقولون في دعائهم لهم رَبَّنا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً أي وسعت رحمتك و علمك كل شيء.
and are seeking Forgiveness – i.e., they are asking Allah-azwj for the Forgiveness – for those who believe, – from the people of earth, i.e., they are ratifying the Oneness of Allah-azwj, and they are acknowledging with His-azwj Divinity, and with what obliges the acknowledging with, and they are saying in their supplications of theirs – ‘Our Lord! Your Mercy and Knowledge Extends to all things, [40:7] – i.e., Your-azwj Mercy and Your-azwj Knowledge is capacious of all things.
و المراد بالعلم المعلوم كما في قوله وَ لا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ أي بشيء من معلومه على التفصيل فجعل العلم في موضع المعلوم و المعنى أنه لا اختصاص لمعلوماتك بل أنت عالم بكل معلوم و لا يختص رحمتك حيا دون حي بل شملت جميع الحيوانات
And the intent with the Knowledge is the known, like what is in His-azwj Words: while they are not encompassing anything from His Knowledge [2:255] – i.e., with anything from His-azwj Known upon the detail. So, He-azwj Made the Knowledge to be in the place of the Known, and the meaning is that there are no specifics of Your-azwj Known, but You-azwj are more Knowing with all that is known, and Your-azwj Mercy is not specific to a tribe besides a tribe, but it includes entirety of the living beings.
و في هذا تعليم الدعاء ليبدأ بالثناء عليه قبل السؤال فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تابُوا من الشرك و المعاصي وَ اتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ الذي دعوت إليه عبادك و هو دين الإسلام وَ قِهِمْ أي و ادفع عنهم عَذابَ الْجَحِيمِ
And in this is a teaching of the supplication, to begin with the praise upon Him-azwj before the asking – therefore Forgive those who repent – from the Shirk and the disobedience – and follow Your Way – which You-azwj have Called Your-azwj servants to, and it is the religion of Al Islam – and Save them – and Repel away from them – Punishment of the Blazing Fire!’ [40:7].
و في هذه الآية دلالة على أن إسقاط العقاب عند التوبة تفضل من الله إذ لو كان واجبا لكان لا يحتاج فيه إلى مساءلتهم بل كان يفعله الله سبحانه لا محالة
And in this Verse there is evidence upon that the dropping of the Punishment at the repentance is a Grace from Allah-azwj, when it had been obligatory, it would have happened. There is no need in it to their asking, but it would happen. Allah-azwj the Glorious would Do it, inevitably.
رَبَّنا وَ أَدْخِلْهُمْ مع قبول توبتهم و وقايتهم النار جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدْتَهُمْ على ألسن أنبيائك وَ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ آبائِهِمْ وَ أَزْواجِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ ليكمل أنسهم و يتم سرورهم إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ القادر على ما تشاء الْحَكِيمُ في أفعالك
Our Lord! And enter them – along with Accepting their repentances and their saving from the Fire – into the Gardens of Eden which You Promised them, – upon the tongues of Your-azwj Prophets-as – and one who were righteous from their fathers and their wives and their offspring, – to perfect their cordiality and complete their joy – surely You are the Mighty, – the Able upon what You-azwj so Desire – the Wise [40:8] – in Your-azwj Deeds.
وَ قِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ أي و قهم عذاب السيئات و يجوز أن يكون العذاب هو السيئات و سماه السيئات اتساعا كما قال وَ جَزاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثْلُها
And Save them from evil deeds, – i.e., and Save them from the Punishment of the evil deeds, and it is allowed that the Punishment, it is the evil deeds, and He-azwj Named it as the evil deeds as vast, like what He-azwj Said: ‘One who does evil deeds, so he would not be Recompensed except for its like, [40:40].
وَ مَنْ تَقِ السَّيِّئاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ أي و من تصرف عنه شر معاصيه فتفضلت عليه يوم القيامة بإسقاط عقابها فقد أنعمت عليه وَ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ أي الظفر بالبغية و الفلاح العظيم انتهى.
and the one You Save from the evil deeds on this Day, so You have been Merciful to him, – i.e., and the one whom You-azwj Turn away from him the evil of his disobedience, so You-azwj have been Graceful upon him on the Day of Qiyamah by droppings its Punishment, so You-azwj have Favoured upon him – and that, it is the mighty success [40:9] – i.e., the victory over the immorality and the mighty success – end.
وَ أَقُولُ رَوَى الصَّدُوقُ فِي الْعُيُونِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَخُدَّامُنَا وَ خُدَّامُ مُحِبِّينَا يَا عَلِيُ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ … وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِوَلَايَتِنَا.
And I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Al-Sadouq in ‘Al-Uyoun’, from Al-Reza-asws in a lengthy Hadeeth having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And the Angels are our-asws servants and servants of the ones who love us-asws, O Ali – Those who are holding the Throne and ones around it are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord . . . and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe, [40:7] – believing in our-asws Wilayah’.
وَ فِي الْكَافِي بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْطَى التَّائِبِينَ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ لَوْ أَعْطَى خَصْلَةً مِنْهَا جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ لَنَجَوْا بِهَا.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Kafi’, by his chain from Ibn Abu Umeyr, raising it, said, ‘Allah-azwj has Given three qualities to the penitent, if He-azwj were to Give one quality from it to entirety of people of the skies and the earth, they would have attained salvation with it’.

(The book) ‘Al-Amaali’ of Al-Sadouq, from Al Qattan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Muhammad Al-Husayni, from Ahmad Bin Isa Al Ijaly, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Arzamy, from Ali Bin hatim, from Shareek, from Salim Al Aftas, from Saeed Bin Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias, they are the successful on the Day of Qiyamah. The one who offends one of them, so he has offended you-asws, and one who offends you-asws so he has offended me-saww, and the one who offends me-as, Allah-azwj will Enter him in the Fire of Hell, being eternally therein, and evil is the destination [64:10].
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْكَ رُوحُكَ مِنْ رُوحِي وَ طِينَتُكَ مِنْ طِينَتِي وَ شِيعَتُكَ خُلِقُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ طِينَتِنَا فَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنَا وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَانَا وَ مَنْ وَدَّهُمْ فَقَدْ وَدَّنَا
O Ali-asws! You-asws are from me-saww and I-saww am from you-asws! Your-asws soul is from my-saww soul, and your-asws clay is from my-saww clay, and your-asws Shias have been Created from the surplus of our-asws clay. So, the one who loves them, so he has loved us-asws, and one who hates them, so he has hated us-asws, and one who is inimical to them, so he has been inimical to us‑asws, and the one who is cordial to them, so he has been cordial to us-asws.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ شِيعَتَكَ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهِمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبٍ وَ عُيُوبٍ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are Forgiven for upon whatever had happened from them, from the sins and the faults.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنَا الشَّفِيعُ لِشِيعَتِكَ غَداً إِذَا قُمْتُ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِذَلِكَ
O Ali-asws! The interceder of your-asws Shias tomorrow, when he stands in the place of the Praised One, so give them glad tidings with that.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ شِيعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْصَارُكَ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ وَ أَوْلِيَاؤُكَ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ حِزْبُكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are Shias of Allah-azwj, and your-asws helpers are helpers of Allah-azwj, and your-asws friends are friends of Allah-azwj, and your-asws party is party of Allah-azwj.
يَا عَلِيُّ سَعِدَ مَنْ تَوَلَّاكَ وَ شَقِيَ مَنْ عَادَاكَ
O Ali-asws! Fortunate is the one befriending you-asws, and wretched is the one being inimical to you-asws.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَنْتَ ذُو قَرْنَيْهَا.
O Ali-asws! For you there is a treasure in the Paradise and you-asws are with its two reins’’.[1]
توضيح أقول قد مر شرح قوله ص و أنت ذو قرنيها في المجلد التاسع
Clarification – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The commentary on his-saww words: ‘And you-asws are with its two reins’, has already passed in volume nine’.
قال في النهاية فيه أنه قال لعلي ع إن لك بيتا في الجنة و أنت ذو قرنيها أي طرفي الجنة و جانبيها.
He said in (the book) ‘Al-Nihaya’ – ‘He-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘For you there is a house in Paradise, and you-asws with its two reins, i.e., an edge of the Paradise and its two sides’’.
قال أبو عبيد و أنا أحسب أنه أراد ذو قرني الأمة فأضمر و قيل أراد الحسن و الحسين
Abu Ubeyd said, ‘And I reckon he-saww intended two reins of the community, a conception’. And it is said he-saww intended Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws.
. و منه حديث علي ع و ذكر قصة ذي القرنين ثم قال و فيكم مثله.
And from a Hadeeth of Ali-asws, and he-asws mentioned the story of Zul Qarnayn, then said: ‘And among you all is his-as example’.
فيرى أنه إنما عنى نفسه لأنه ضرب على رأسه ضربتين إحداهما يوم الخندق و الأخرى ضربه ابن ملجم لعنه الله و ذو القرنين هو الإسكندر سمي بذلك لأنه ملك الشرق و الغرب و قيل لأنه كان في رأسه شبه قرنين و قيل رأى في النوم أنه أخذ بقرني الشمس.
It is seen that he-asws had meant himself-asws, because he-asws was struck with two strikes upon his-asws head, one of them on the day of (battle of) Khandaq, and the other Ibn Muljim-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la, struck him-asws; and Zul Qarnayn, he is Alexander, because he ruled the east and the west. And it is said because in his-as head there were resemblances of two horns. And it is said he-as had seen in a dream that he was taking the reins of the sun.
أَقُولُ قَدْ مَضَى فِي بَابِ جَوَامِعِ مَنَاقِبِ عَلِيٍّ ع عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَرِدَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ مُبْغِضٌ لَكَ وَ لَنْ يَغِيبَ عَنْهُ مُحِبٌّ لَكَ حَتَّى يَرِدَ الْحَوْضَ مَعَكَ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It has passed in the chapters on a summary of the virtues of Ali-asws, from Jabir, from the Prophets-as having said to Ali-asws: ‘Surely, he will not return to me-saww at the Fountain, one who is hateful to you-asws, and he will not be absent for you-asws, one who is loving to you-asws, until he returns to the Fountain with you-asws’’.

(The book) ‘Al-Amaali’ of Al-Sadouq, from Abu Saeed Al Hashimy, from Furat, from Muhammad Bin Zuheyr, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Baghdady, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Nahshaly,
‘From Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from the Prophet-saww, from Jibraeel-as, from Mikaeel-as, from Israfeel-as, from Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty: “Ali-asws is My-azwj Divine Authority in the skies and the earths, upon entirety of the ones in these from My-azwj creatures. I-azwj will not Accept a deed of a worker from them except with the acknowledgement of his-asws Wilayah along with the Prophet-hold of Ahmad-saww, My-azwj Rasool-saww!
وَ هُوَ يَدِيَ الْمَبْسُوطَةُ عَلَى عِبَادِي وَ هُوَ النِّعْمَةُ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ بِهَا عَلَى مَنْ أَحْبَبْتُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِي فَمَنْ أَحْبَبْتُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَ تَوَلَّيْتُهُ عَرَّفْتُهُ وَلَايَتَهُ وَ مَعْرِفَتَهُ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضْتُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِي أَبْغَضْتُهُ لِانْصِرَافِهِ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ وَلَايَتِهِ
And he-asws is the hand extended upon My-azwj servants, and he-asws is the favour which I-azwj have Favoured with upon the ones I-azwj Love from My-azwj servants. So, the one who loves him-asws, and befriends him-asws, recognising his-asws Wilayah, and his-asws understanding! And the one from My-azwj servants who hates him-asws, I-azwj shall Turn him away from his-asws understanding and his-asws Wilayah!
فَبِعِزَّتِي حَلَفْتُ وَ بِجَلَالِي أَقْسَمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَوَالَى عَلِيّاً عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي إِلَّا زَحْزَحْتُهُ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي وَ يَعْدِلُ عَنْ وَلَايَتِهِ إِلَّا أَبْغَضْتُهُ وَ أَدْخَلْتُهُ النَّارَ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ.
By My-azwj Mighty I-azwj Oath, and by My-azwj Majestic I-azwj Swear! No servant from My-azwj servants will befriend Ali-asws except I-azwj shall Distance him from the Fire and Enter him into the Paradise! And no servant from My-azwj servants will hate him-asws and turn away from his‑asws Wilayah except I-azwj shall Hate him and Enter him into the Fire, and it is an evil destination!”’[2]

A man said, ‘Am I from them, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘No’.
قَالَ آخَرُ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا
Another from them said, ‘Am I from them, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘No’.

It was said, ‘Who are they, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’
قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ قَالَ هَذَا وَ شِيعَتُهُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-saww placed his-saww upon the head of Ali-asws and said: ‘This one and his-asws Shias’’.[3]

‘Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari was asked about Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, so he said, ‘That one is best of the creatures of Allah-azwj, from the former ones and the latter ones, apart from the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَخْلُقْ خَلْقاً بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ بَعْدَهُ

فَقَالَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ وَ لَا يَنْتَقِصُهُ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ
He said, ‘No one will hate him-asws except a Kafir, nor reduce him-asws except a hypocrite’.

Then he said, ‘What are you viewing if a man were to go out calling to people to his straying, who would be the closest of the people to him?’ They said, ‘His adherents (Shias) and his helpers!’

He said, ‘So like that is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. In his-asws hand would be the Flag of Praise on the Day of Qiyamah. The closest of the people to him-asws would be his-asws adherents (Shias) and his-asws helpers’’.[7] (Not a Hadeeth)

‘Regarding Words of the Exalted: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169] Rejoicing in what Allah has Given them from His Grace and they are receiving glad tidings of those who have yet to join them from the ones they left behind. There would neither be fear upon them, nor would they be grieving [3:170].

It is narrated to me by my father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘By Allah-azwj! They are our-asws Shias. When they enter the Paradise and receive the honours than Allah-azwj, they will receive glad tidings of the ones who had not caught up with them, from their brethren from the Momineen in the world. There would neither be fear upon them, nor would they be grieving [3:170]’’.[8]

Tafseer Al Qummi – From his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Umar Bin Shayba,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws in a lengthy Hadeeth, said: ‘When it will be the day of Qiyamah, Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws and his-asws Shias will be upon a dune of musk, upon pulpits of light. The people will grieve, and they will not be grieving, and the people will panic and they will not be panicking’.

Then he-asws recited this Verse: One who comes with the good deed, for him would be better than it, and they would be secure from the panic of that Day [27:89] – The good deed is Wilayah of Ali-asws’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ تَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ هذا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ.
Then he-asws said: ‘The great terror shall not grieve them, and the Angels would meet them: ‘This is your Day which you were Promised’ [21:103]’’.[11]

‘And those who are striving regarding Us, – i.e., being patient and striving along with Rasool-Allah-saww – We will Guide them in Our Ways, – i.e., We-azwj shall Affirm them – and surely Allah is with the good doers [29:69] – in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘This Verse is for Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their-asws Shias’’.[12]

Tafseer Al Qummi – From Abu Al Abbas, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Sama’at, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Congratulations to you all for the name (Shia)!’ I said, ‘And what is it? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَإِبْراهِيمَ وَ قَوْلُهُ فَاسْتَغاثَهُ الَّذِي مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ عَلَى الَّذِي مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ فَلْيَهْنِكُمُ الِاسْمُ.
He-asws said: And indeed from his Shias, was Ibrahim [37:83]; and His-azwj Words: The one who was from his Shias cried out for his help against the one who was his enemy. [28:15]. So, congratulations to you all for the name (Shia)’’.[13]

Tafseer Al Qummi –
‘And surely for the tyrants is an evil resort [38:55] – They are the two first ones (Abu Bakr and Umar), and the clan of Umayya. The He-azwj Mentioned the ones who were to exist after them from the ones who usurped Progeny-asws of Muhammad-asws of their-asws rights.
فَقَالَ وَ آخَرُ مِنْ شَكْلِهِ أَزْواجٌ هذا فَوْجٌ مُقْتَحِمٌ مَعَكُمْ وَ هُمْ بَنُو السِّبَاعِ فَيَقُولُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ لا مَرْحَباً بِهِمْ إِنَّهُمْ صالُوا النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ بَنُو فُلَانٍ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ لا مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ أَنْتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنا وَ بَدَأْتُمْ بِظُلْمِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرارُ
He-azwj Said: And other (Punishments) of its type, paired [38:58] This is a multitude rushing blindly with you. He said, ‘And they are the clan of Al-Siba’a, so the clan of Ummaya would be saying – There would be no welcome for them. They would be arriving to the Fire [38:59] – so the clan of so and so would be saying – They (the misled) will say, ‘But there is no welcome for you. You brought it upon us, [38:60] – and you began with oppressing the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww – so evil is the settlement’ [38:60].
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ رَبَّنا مَنْ قَدَّمَ لَنا هذا فَزِدْهُ عَذاباً ضِعْفاً فِي النَّارِ يَعْنُونَ الْأَوَّلَيْنِ
The clan of Umayya will be saying – ‘Our Lord! The ones who brought this upon us, increase for him additional punishment in the Fire [38:61] – meaning the first two (Abu Bakr and Umar).
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَعْدَاءُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي النَّارِ ما لَنا لا نَرى رِجالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرارِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ هُمْ شِيعَةُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَتَّخَذْناهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصارُ
Then the enemies of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww will say while in the Fire – ‘What is the matter with us, we do not see men whom we used to count as being from the evil ones?’ [38:62] – in the world, and they are Shias of Amir Al-Momineen-asws – Did we take them in scorn or are the visions turned away from them? [38:63]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ ذلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ
Then he said – Indeed, that is the Truth – wrangling of the inhabitants of the Fire [38:64] – in what is between them. (An opinion)
وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ الصَّادِقِ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي الْجَنَّةِ تُحْبَرُونَ وَ فِي النَّارِ تُطْلَبُونَ.
And that is the word of Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘By Allah-azwj! You (Shias) shall be in the Paradise enjoying and, in the Fire, you will be sought’’.[14]

And regarding the Shias of the sons-asws of Fatima-asws, Allah-azwj Revealed this Verse in particular – ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. Surely, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [39:53]’’.[16]

[14:25].

Then he-asws said: ‘The Momin from our-asws Shias dies, so a leave from the tree falls off, and the new-born from our-asws Shias is born, so the tree sprouts a leaf’’.[52]

‘Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws)’ may the greetings be upon him-asws – The Prophet‑saww said at the wailing by the trunk: ‘Community of Muslims! This trunk yearns to Rasool-saww of the Lord-azwj of the worlds, and grieved at being distant from him-saww, and among the servants of Allah-azwj – there are ones unjust to themselves – one who does not care whether they are near to Rasool-Allah-saww from far, and if I-saww had not embraces this trunk and wiped my-saww hand upon it – its moaning and its groaning would not have calmed down up to the Day of Qiyamah.
وَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَ إِمَائِهِ لَمَنْ يَحِنُّ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ كَحَنِينِ هَذَا الْجِذْعِ وَ حَسْبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَلْبُهُ عَلَى مُوَالاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ مُنْطَوِياً أَ رَأَيْتُمْ شِدَّةَ حَنِينِ هَذَا الْجِذْعِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ كَيْفَ هَدَأَ لَمَّا احْتَضَنَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَيْهِ
And from the servants of Allah-azwj and His-azwj maids are ones who yearn to Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and to Ali-asws Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj, like the yearning of this trunk, and it is enough for the Momin that his heart happens to be content upon the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws goodly Progeny-asws, the clean. Did you see the intensity of the yearning of this trunk to Muhammad-saww Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, how it calmed down due to Muhammad-saww Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj caressing his-saww hand upon it?’
قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ حَنِينَ خُزَّانِ الْجِنَانِ وَ حُورِ عِينِهَا وَ سَائِرِ قُصُورِهَا وَ مَنَازِلِهَا إِلَى مَنْ تَوَالَى مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً وَ آلَهُمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمَا لَأَشَدُّ مِنْ حَنِينِ هَذَا الْجِذْعِ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمُوهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the Truth as a Prophet-saww, the yearning of the Gardens, and the maiden Houries, and the rest of its castles and its houses, to the one who befriends Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and their-asws goodly Progeny-asws, and disavow from their-asws enemies, is more intense than the yearning of this trunk which you saw (yearning) to Rasool-Allah-saww.
وَ إِنَّ الَّذِي يُسَكِّنُ حَنِينَهُمْ وَ أَنِينَهُمْ مَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ صَلَاةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مَعَاشِرَ شِيعَتِنَا عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ أَوْ صَلَاةِ نَافِلَةٍ أَوْ صَوْمٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ
And that which settles down their moaning and groaning is what returns upon them from the Salawat one of you – community of our-asws Shias – upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, or his Salat for the Sake of Allah-azwj, an optional one, or a Fast, or a charity.
وَ إِنَّ مِنْ عَظِيمِ مَا يُسَكِّنُ حَنِينَهُمْ إِلَى شِيعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ مَا يَتَّصِلُ بِهِمْ مِنْ إِحْسَانِهِمْ إِلَى إِخْوَانِهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَعُونَتِهِمْ لَهُمْ عَلَى دَهْرِهِمْ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ الْجِنَانِ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ لَا تَسْتَعْجِلُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ فَمَا يُبْطِئُ عَنْكُمْ إِلَّا لِلزِّيَادَةِ فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعَالِيَاتِ فِي هَذِهِ الْجِنَانِ بِإِسْدَاءِ الْمَعْرُوفِ إِلَى إِخْوَانِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And that, from the greatest of what settles down their moaning to a Shia of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws is what arrives with them from their good deeds to their Momineen brothers, and his assisting to them upon their lives. The inhabitants of the Gardens are saying to each other, ‘Do not be hasty for your companion, for he has not been delayed from you except for the increase in the lofty ranks in these Gardens by providing to his Momineen brothers.
وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يُسَكِّنُ حَنِيْنَ سُكَّانِ الْجِنَانِ وَ حُورِهَا إِلَى شِيعَتِنَا مَا يُعَرِّفُهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ صَبْرِ شِيعَتِنَا عَلَى التَّقِيَّةِ وَ اسْتِعْمَالِهِمُ التَّوْرِيَةَ لِيَسْلَمُوا بِهَا مِنْ كَفَرَةِ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَ فَسَقَتِهِمْ
And greater than that from what settles the groaning of the dwellers of the Gardens and its Houries to our-asws Shias is what Allah-azwj Introduces them from the patience of our-asws Shias upon the Taqiyya (dissimulation) – and their utilisation of the ambiguities in order to be safe with it from the Kufr of the servants of Allah-azwj and their mischief.
فَحِينَئِذٍ يَقُولُ خُزَّانُ الْجِنَانِ وَ حُورُهَا لَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَى شَوْقِنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَ حَنِينِنَا كَمَا يَصْبِرُونَ عَلَى سَمَاعِ الْمَكْرُوهِ فِي سَادَاتِهِمْ وَ أَئِمَّتِهِمْ وَ كَمَا يَتَجَرَّعُونَ الْغَيْظَ وَ يَسْكُتُونَ عَنْ إِظْهَارِ الْحَقِّ لِمَا يُشَاهِدُونَ مِنْ ظُلْمِ مَنْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى دَفْعِ مَضَرَّتِهِ
This is where the keepers of the Gardens and its Houries observe patience upon our desire to them and our yearning, just as they (Shias) are being patient upon hearing the abhorrence(s) regarding their chiefs and their Imams-asws, and just as they are swallowing the anger and are remaining silent from manifesting the Truth – due to what they are witnessing from the injustices of the ones who they are not able upon repelling his harm.
فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يُنَادِيهِمْ رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا سُكَّانَ جِنَانِي وَ يَا خُزَّانَ رَحْمَتِي مَا لِبُخْلٍ أَخَّرْتُ عَنْكُمْ أَزْوَاجَكُمْ وَ سَادَاتِكُمْ إِلَّا لِيَسْتَكْمِلُوا نَصِيبَهُمْ مِنْ كَرَامَتِي بِمُوَاسَاتِهِمْ إِخْوَانَهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَخْذِ بِأَيْدِي الْمَلْهُوفِينَ وَ التَّنْفِيسِ عَنِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَى التَّقِيَّةِ مِنَ الْفَاسِقِينَ الْكَافِرِينَ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَكْمَلُوا أَجْزَلَ كَرَامَاتِي نَقَلْتُهُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ عَلَى أَسَرِّ الْأَحْوَالِ وَ أَغْبَطِهَا فَأَبْشِرُوا
During that, our Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic Calls out to them: “O dwellers of My-azwj Gardens, and O Keepers of My-azwj Mercy! It is not due to miserliness that I-azwj am delaying from you all (the arrival of) your spouses and your chiefs, but (it is) in order to complete their shares from My-azwj Prestige – by their being consoling to their Momineen brothers, and holding the hands of the distraught ones, and venting their distresses, and with being patient upon the Taqiyya (dissimulation) from the mischievous ones and the Kafirs, until when My-azwj Prestige(s) are complete, I-saww shall Transfer them to you upon a joyful state and its most enchanting”.
فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَسْكُنُ حَنِينُهُمْ وَ أَنِينُهُمْ.
Thus, during that, their moaning and their groaning settles down’.[74]

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – ‘The Exalted Says: And give glad tidings to those who believe [2:25] in Allah-azwj and are ratifying you-saww with regards to your-saww Prophet-hood, so they are taking you-saww as a Prophet-saww and are ratifying you-saww regarding your-saww words, and you-saww as being correct in your-saww deeds, and are taking your-saww brother Ali-asws after you-saww as an Imam-asws and as a successor-asws for you-saww – with satisfaction, and (they) are (guided) when he-asws instructs them towards it (Paradise), and they come to whatever he-asws takes them to, and they see for him-asws what they are seeing for you-saww except for the Prophet-hood which you-saww are singled out with.
وَ إِنَّ الْجِنَانَ لَا تَصِيرُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا بِمُوَالاتِهِ وَ مُوَالاةِ مَنْ يُنَصُّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ مُوَالاةِ سَائِرِ أَهْلِ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَهْلِ مُخَالَفَتِهِ وَ عَدَاوَتِهِ وَ إِنَّ النِّيرَانَ لَا تَهْدَأُ عَنْهُمْ وَ لَا يَعْدِلُ بِهِمْ عَنْ عَذَابِهَا إِلَّا بِتَنَكُّبِهِمْ عَنْ مُوَالاةِ مُخَالِفِيهِمْ وَ مُوَازَرَةِ شَانِئِيهِمْ
And that the Gardens would not come to be for them except by their befriending him-asws and befriending the ones from whom there is a link to him-asws from his-asws descendants (the Divine Imams-asws) and befriending the rest of the people of his-asws Wilayah and being inimical to the people who oppose him-asws and his-asws enemies.
وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ مِنْ إِدَامَةِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ اجْتِنَابِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ لَا يَكُونُوا كَهَؤُلَاءِ الْكَافِرِينَ بِكَ بَشِّرْهُمْ أَنَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ بَسَاتِينَ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ.
And are doing righteous deeds – the ones who are performing the Obligatory acts and are keeping aside from the Prohibitions and are not becoming like those who are disbelieving in you-saww. So give them glad tidings that for them are Gardens – orchards beneath which rivers flow’’.[75]

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Abdul Rahman Bin Sali Al Ashalla, from one of the jurists who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Indeed! The friends of Allah, there would neither be fear upon them, nor would they be grieving [10:62]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ تَدْرُونَ مَنْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ قَالُوا مَنْ هُمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Then he-asws said: ‘Do you know who the friends of Allah-azwj are?’ They said, ‘Who are they, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’
فَقَالَ هُمْ نَحْنُ وَ أَتْبَاعُنَا فَمَنْ تَبِعَنَا مِنْ بَعْدِنَا طُوبَى لَنَا وَ طُوبَى لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ طُوبَى لَنَا
He-asws said: ‘They are us-asws and our-asws followers. The one who follows us-asws from after us‑asws, beatitude is for us-asws, and beatitude is for them superior to the beatitude for us-asws’.
قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا شَأْنُ طُوبَى لَهُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ طُوبَى لَنَا أَ لَسْنَا نَحْنُ وَ هُمْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ
He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! What is the matter the beatitude for them is superior to the beatitude for us? Aren’t we and them upon the (same) matter?’
قَالَ لَا لِأَنَّهُمْ حَمَلُوا مَا لَمْ تَحَمَّلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَطَاقُوا مَا لَمْ تُطِيقُوا.
He-asws said: ‘No because they would be loaded with what you have not been loaded upon, and they will be enduring what you are not enduring’’.[76]
بيان لأنهم حملوا إشارة إلى شدة تقية الشيعة بعده ع و كثرة وقوع الظلم من بني أمية و غيرهم عليهم.
Explanation – ‘Because they would be loaded’, is an indication to the severity of Taqiyyah (dissimulation) of the Shias after him-asws, and frequency of the occurrence of the injustices from the clan of Umayya and others, upon them.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who befriends Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and forward them-asws over entirety of the people, with what he forwards them-asws, from the relatives of Rasool-Allah-saww, so he is from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-asws, due to his status in the presence of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, not because he is from the group exactly, and rather he is from them-asws due to his friendship to them-asws, and his following them-asws.

And like that is the Judgment of Allah-azwj in His-azwj Book: and the one from you who befriends them, so he is from them; [5:51]; and words of Ibrahim-as: So the one who follows me, then he is from me, and one who disobeys me, then You are Forgiving, Merciful [14:36]’’.[77]

ثُمَّ جَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ.
Then he-asws sat down, then said: ‘You (Shias) are ‘the ones of understanding’ in the Book of Allah-azwj. Allah-azwj Says: But rather, the ones with the understanding will be mindful [13:19]’’.[78]

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Abu Baseer who said,
‘I heard Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws and he-asws was saying: ‘We-asws are People-asws of the Household of Mercy, and house of Favours, and house of Blessings, and we-asws are a structure in the earth, and our-asws Shias are the bonds of Al-Islam.
وَ مَا كَانَتْ دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَّا لَنَا وَ شِيعَتِنَا وَ لَقَدِ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى إِبْلِيسَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِبادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطانٌ.
And the Call of Ibrahim-as was not for anyone except for us-asws and for our-asws Shias. And Allah-azwj has Excluded Iblees-la (from us) up to the Day of Judgement, so He-azwj Said: Surely, (as for) My servants, there wouldn’t be any authority for you upon them [15:42]’’.[79]

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! You (Shias) are the one Allah-azwj Said: And We shall Remove whatever is in their chests from grudges, as brethren upon couches face to face [15:47] – But rather, our-asws Shias are owners of four eyes having (two) eyes in the head, and (two) eyes in the heart. Indeed, and the creatures, all of them are like that. Indeed, Allah-azwj has Opened your sights (in the heart) and Blinded their sights (in the heart)!’’[81]

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Muhammad Bin Marwan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There isn’t any man from you (Shias) except and the Angels of Allah-azwj are coming to him with the greetings, and you are those Allah-azwj Said: And We shall Remove whatever is in their chests from grudges, as brethren upon couches face to face [15:47]’’.[82]
79- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع عِبَادَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلُوا حَجَّتَكُمْ مَقْبُولَةً مَبْرُورَةً وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَجْعَلُوهَا مَرْدُودَةً عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْبَحَ الرَّدِّ وَ أَنْ تُصَدُّوا عَنْ جَنَّةِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَقْبَحَ الصَّدِّ
Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws), may the greetings be upon him-asws – ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘‘Servants of Allah-azwj! Make your Hajj to be Accepted, correct, and beware of making these rejected upon you with an ugly repelling, and you would be Blocked from the Shield of Allah-azwj on the Day of Judgment with an ugly blocking.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ مَا يُحِلُّهَا مَحَلَّ الْقَبُولِ- مَا يَقْتَرِنُ بِهَا مِنْ مُوَالاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ إِنَّ مَا يُسَفِّلُهَا وَ يُرْذِلُهَا مَا يَقْتَرِنُ بِهَا- مِنِ اتِّخَاذِ الْأَنْدَادِ مِنْ دُونِ أَئِمَّةِ الْحَقِّ- وَ وُلَاةِ الصِّدْقِ: عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ مِمَّنْ يَخْتَارُهُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ ذَوِيهِ.
Indeed! What permits it to be in the place of Acceptance is what is paired with it from the Wilayah of Muhammad-asws and Ali-asws, and their-asws goodly Progeny-asws; and that what lowers it and makes it despicable is what is paired with it from the taking of the rivals from besides the Imams-asws of the Truth, and friendship of the truthful, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and the Chosen ones from what He-azwj Chose from his-asws offspring and his-asws relatives.
ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: طُوبَى لِلْمُوَالِينَ عَلِيّاً إِيمَاناً بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَصْدِيقاً لِمَقَالِهِ كَيْفَ يُذَكِّرُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَشْرَفِ الذِّكْرِ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ. وَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَرْشِ وَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْحُجُبِ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْهَوَاءِ، وَ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ وَ مَا تَحْتَهَا إِلَى الثَّرَى.
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Beatitude is for the friends of Ali-asws who believe in Muhammad‑saww and ratify His-azwj Words how He-azwj Mentions them-asws with the noblest of the mentions, from above His-azwj Throne. And how they send Salawat upon them-asws, the Angels of the Throne, and the Chair, and the Veils, and the skies, and the earth, and the atmosphere, and what is in between that, and what is beneath it to the ground.
وَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ أَمْلَاكُ الْغُيُومِ وَ الْأَمْطَارِ، وَ أَمْلَاكُ الْبَرَارِي وَ الْبِحَارِ، وَ شَمْسُ السَّمَاءِ وَ قَمَرُهَا وَ نُجُومُهَا، وَ حَصْبَاءُ الْأَرْضِ وَ رِمَالُهَا، وَ سَائِرُ مَا يَدِبُّ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فَيُشَرِّفُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِصَلَاةِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا لَدَيْهِ مَحَالَّهُمْ، وَ يُعَظِّمُ عِنْدَهُ جَلَالَهُمْ حَتَّى يَرِدُوا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. وَ قَدْ شُهِرُوا بِكَرَامَاتِ اللَّهِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ، وَ جُعِلُوا مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ صَفِيِّ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
And how the Angels of the clouds and the rain, and the Angels of the lands and the seas, and sun of the sky and its moon and its stars, and the gravels of the earth and its sands, and the rest of what are crawling from the animals. So, Allah-azwj the Exalted Ennobled with the Salawat of each one of these from their respective places, and magnificent is their-asws majesty in His-azwj Presence, until they-asws would return to Him-azwj on the Day of Judgment. And they are well-known with the Prestige of Allah-azwj, upon heads of the ones present, and they would make to be from the friends of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, elite of the Lord-azwj of the worlds.
وَ الْوَيْلُ لِلْمُعَانِدِينَ عَلِيّاً كُفْراً بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَكْذِيباً بِمَقَالِهِ كَيْفَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَخْزَى اللَّعْنِ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ. وَ كَيْفَ يَلْعَنُهُمْ حَمَلَةُ الْعَرْشِ وَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْحُجُبِ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْهَوَاءِ، وَ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، وَ مَا تَحْتَهَا إِلَى الثَّرَى. وَ كَيْفَ يَلْعَنُهُمْ أَمْلَاكُ الْغُيُومِ وَ الْأَمْطَارِ، وَ أَمْلَاكُ الْبَرَارِي وَ الْبِحَارِ، وَ شَمْسُ السَّمَاءِ وَ قَمَرُهَا وَ نُجُومُهَا، وَ حَصْبَاءُ الْأَرْضِ وَ رِمَالُهَا، وَ سَائِرُ مَا يَدِبُّ مِنَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ.
And woe be unto the enemies of Ali-azwj, doing Kufr with Muhammad-saww and belying his-saww worlds, how Allah-azwj Curses them with the most disgraceful of the Curses from above His-azwj Throne. And how they curse them, the bearers of the Thrones and the Chair, and the Veils, and the skies, and the earth, and the atmosphere, and what is in between that, and what is beneath it up to the ground. And how they curse them, the Angels of the clouds and the rains, and the Angels of the lands and the seas, and the sun of the sky and its moor and its stars, and the gravel of the earth and its sands, and the rest of what crawls from the animals.
فَيُسَفِّلُ اللَّهُ بِلَعْنِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ لَدَيْهِ مَحَالَّهُمْ، وَ يُقَبِّحُ عِنْدَهُ أَحْوَالَهُمْ، حَتَّى يَرِدُوا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ قَدْ شُهِرُوا بِلَعْنِ اللَّهِ وَ مَقْتِهِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ، وَ جُعِلُوا مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ إِبْلِيسَ وَ نُمْرُودَ وَ فِرْعَوْنَ [وَ] أَعْدَاءِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
Allah-azwj Lowers with the Cursing, each one of them from their places, and ugly is their state in His-azwj Presence, until they return to Him-azwj on the Day of Judgment, and they would be well-known with the Curse of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Abhorrence upon the heads of the ones present, and they would be Made to be from the friends of Iblees-la, and Nimrod-la, and Pharaoh-la – and (other) enemies of the Lord-azwj of the Worlds.
وَ [إِنَ] مِنْ عَظِيمِ مَا يُتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ خِيَارُ أَمْلَاكِ الْحُجُبِ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ- الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مُحِبِّينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ اللَّعْنَ لِشَانِئِينَا.
And that, from the greatest of what the best of what they can get closer with (to Allah-azwj), the Angels of the Veils and the skies, is the Salawat upon those that love us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, and the cursing of our-asws adversaries’’.[83]

When I-saww looked, I-saww saw you-asws, O Ali-asws, for I-saww sought Forgiveness for you-asws and for your-asws Shias up to the Day of Qiyamah’’. (derogatory)[84]

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed, from Ibn Qawlawiya, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Fazzal, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Al Sumali, from Jeysh Bin Al Mu’tamir who said,
‘I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws was in Al-Rahba, leaning. I said, ‘The greetings be unto you-asws, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings! How is your-asws morning?’’
قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رَدَّ عَلَيَّ وَ قَالَ أَصْبَحْتُ مُحِبّاً لِمُحِبِّنَا مُبْغِضاً لِمَنْ يُبْغِضُنَا إِنَّ مُحِبَّنَا يَنْتَظِرُ الرَّوْحَ وَ الْفَرَجَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ وَ إِنَّ مُبْغِضَنَا بَنَى بِنَاءً فَأَسَّسَ بُنْيانَهُ عَلى شَفا جُرُفٍ هارٍ فَكَأَنَّ بُنْيَانَهُ هَارٍ فَانْهارَ بِهِ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws raised his-asws head and responded (the greeting) to me and said: ‘I-asws have become loving to the ones loving us-asws and hating to the ones hating us-asws. One loving us-asws is awaiting the relief (Al-Qaim-asws) during every day and night, and one hating us-asws is building buildings, so the foundation of his building upon the brink of a cliff – so it is as if he building on a cliff – it collapses with him into the Fire of Hell? [9:109]’’.
يَا أَبَا الْمُعْتَمِرِ إِنَّ مُحِبَّنَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُبْغِضَنَا قَالَ وَ مُبْغِضُنَا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُحِبَّنَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَبَلَ قُلُوبَ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى حُبِّنَا وَ خَذَلَ مَنْ يُبْغِضُنَا فَلَنْ يَسْتَطِيعَ مُحِبُّنَا يُبْغِضُنَا وَ لَنْ يَسْتَطِيعَ مُبْغِضُنَا يُحِبُّنَا
O Abu Al Mu’taman! One loving us-asws is not able upon hating us-asws, and one hating us-asws is not able upon loving us-asws. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Made hearts of the servants upon our-asws love and Abandoned the ones hating us-asws, so the one loving us will never be able upon hating us-asws, and the one hating us-asws will never be able upon loving us!’’
وَ لَنْ يَجْتَمِعَ حُبُّنَا وَ حُبُّ عَدُوِّنَا فِي قَلْبِ أَحَدٍ ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ يُحِبُّ بِهَذَا قَوْماً وَ يُحِبُّ بِالْآخَرِ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ.
And our-asws and love for our-asws will never gather in one heart! Allah did not Make two hearts for a man to be inside him, [33:4], to love a people with this one, and to love their enemies with the other one!’’ [85]

And from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of AL Khawarizmy, from Anas (a well-known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to me, and I had seen him-saww in the dream, ‘What carried you upon not delivering what you had heard from me-saww regarding Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, until the Punishment befell you? And had Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws not sought Forgiveness for you, you would not have smelt the aroma of Paradise, ever!

But, spread (broadcast) in the rest of your lifespan that the friends of Ali-asws and of his-asws offspring, and ones loving them will be the foremost, the first ones to the Paradise, and they are the neighbours of Allah-azwj, and friends of Allah-azwj – Hamza-as, and Ja’far-as, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws. And as for Ali-asws, he-asws is the greatest truthful. The one who loves him-asws will not fear on the Day of Qiyamah’’.[88]

And from him (Anas), from Ibn Umar who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who loves Ali-asws, Allah-azwj will Accept from him, his Salat, and his fasts, and his standing (for the Salat), and Answer his supplications.
أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ عِرْقٍ فِي بَدَنِهِ مَدِينَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ وَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ الصِّرَاطِ
Indeed! And the one who loves Ali-asws, Allah-azwj would Give him a city in the Paradise for every vein in his body! And the one who loves Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww will be secure from the Reckoning, and the Scale, and the Bridge!
أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَنَا كَفِيلُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَكْتُوباً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ آيِسٌ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ.
Indeed! And the one who dies upon the love of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, I-saww shall be his guarantor for the Paradise (to be) with the Prophets-as! Indeed! And the one who hates Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww will come on the Day of Qiyamah, with a writing between his eyes: ‘Despaired from the Mercy of Allah-azwj’’.[89]

(The book) ‘Riyaz Al Jinan’ of Fazlullah Bin Mahmoud Al Farsi,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Allah-azwj has Gifted to you-asws love of the needy and the poor in the earth, so be pleased with them as brethren and they will be pleased with you-asws as an Imam-asws. So beatitude is for the one who loves you-asws and woe be for the one hating you-asws!
يَا عَلِيُّ أَهْلُ مَوَدَّتِكَ كُلُّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ وَ كُلُّ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ
O Ali-asws! The people of your-asws cordiality is every penitent one, preserver, and every one with righteousness. If he were to swear upon Allah-azwj, he would fulfill it!
يَا عَلِيُّ أَحِبَّاؤُكَ كُلُّ مُحْتَقِرٍ عِنْدَ الْخَلْقِ عَظِيمٌ عِنْدَ الْحَقِّ
O Ali-asws! Ones loving you-asws is every scorned one in the presence of the people, mighty in the Presence of the Truth (Allah-azwj)!
يَا عَلِيُّ مُحِبُّوكَ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ الْأَعْلَى جِيرَانُ اللَّهِ لَا يَأْسَفُونَ عَلَى مَا فَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
O Ali-asws! Ones loving you-asws will be in the lofty Al-Firdows, in the vicinity of Allah-azwj. They will not be regretting upon what had lost to them from the world!
يَا عَلِيُّ إِخْوَانُكَ ذُبُلُ الشِّفَاهِ تُعْرَفُ الرَّهْبَانِيَّةُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ يَفْرَحُونَ فِي ثَلَاثِ مَوَاطِنَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَنَا شَاهِدُهُمْ وَ عِنْدَ الْمُسَاءَلَةِ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ وَ أَنْتَ هُنَاكَ تُلَقِّنُهُمْ وَ عِنْدَ الْعَرْضِ الْأَكْبَرِ إِذَا دُعِيَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws companions are of the parched lips. Their spiritualism is recognised in their faces. They will be happy in three places – at the death, and I-saww will be attending them, and at the questioning in the grave, and you-asws shall be over there indoctrinating them, and at the great presentation when every people will be called with their Imam/leader.
يَا عَلِيُّ بَشِّرْ إِخْوَانَكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ رَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ
O Ali-asws! Give glad tidings to your-asws brethren that Allah-azwj is Pleased with them.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ الصَّافُّونَ الْمُسَبِّحُونَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ مَا قَامَ لِلَّهِ دِينٌ وَ لَوْ لَا مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَطْرٌ
O Ali-asws! You-asws are Emir of the Momineen, and guide of the resplendent, and you-asws and your-asws Shias are the ones standing in the rows, the glorifiers, and had it not been for you-asws and your-asws Shias, religion would not have been established for Allah-azwj! Had it not been for the ones from you-asws in the earth, no drop would have descended from the sky.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَنْزٌ وَ أَنْتَ ذُو قَرْنَيْهَا وَ شِيعَتُكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ وَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغالِبُونَ
O Ali-asws! There is a treasure for you-asws in the Paradise and you-asws are with its two reins (in charge of it), and your-asws Shias are the party of Allah-azwj, and the party of Allah-azwj, they shall prevail.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ الْقَائِمُونَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ أَنْتُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ تُسْقُونَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكُمْ وَ تَمْنَعُونَ مَنْ أَخَلَّ بِفَضْلِكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمُ الْآمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ
O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias are the ones standing with the fairness, and at the Fountain you will be quenching the ones who love you, and you will be impeding the ones contravening with your merits, and you will be secure on the Day of the great panic.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ تُظَلَّلُونَ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ وَ تُنَعَّمُونَ فِي الْجِنَانِ
O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias will be shaded in the Pausing stop and will be Conferred upon in the Gardens.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مُشْتَاقَةٌ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى شِيعَتِكَ وَ إِنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الْعَرْشِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِقُدُومِهِمْ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ
O Ali-asws! The Paradise is yearning to you-asws and to your-asws Shias, and the Angels of Proximity of the Throne are being happy at your arrival, and the Angels are seeking Forgiveness for them.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are those who are fearing Allah-azwj in the secret and openly.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَافَسُونَ فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ وَ يَلْقَوْنَ اللَّهَ وَ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are those who are competing regarding the ranks and will be meeting Allah-azwj and there will be no Reckoning upon them.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَعْمَالُ شِيعَتِكَ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَأَفْرَحُ بِصَالِحِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لِسَيِّئَاتِهِمْ
O Ali-asws! The deeds of your-asws Shias are being presented to me-saww every Friday. I-saww get happy with their righteous deeds and seek Forgiveness for their evil deeds.
يَا عَلِيُّ ذِكْرُكَ وَ ذِكْرُ شِيعَتِكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْلَقُوا وَ كَذَلِكَ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُعَظِّمُونَ إِلْيَا وَ شِيعَتَهُ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws mention (Zikr) and mention of your-asws Shias in the Torah is with every goodness before they were even Created, and like that is in the Evangel. They are revering ‘Elia’ and his adherents (Shias).
يَا عَلِيُّ ذِكْرُ شِيعَتِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِذَلِكَ
O Ali-asws! The mentioned of your-asws Shias in the sky is more than their mention in the earth, so give them glad tidings of that.
يَا عَلِيُّ قُلْ لِشِيعَتِكَ وَ أَحِبَّائِكَ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي يَعْمَلُهَا عَدُوُّهُمْ
O Ali-asws! Say to your-asws Shias and ones who love you-asws, they will be snatching away from the (good) deeds which their enemies have performed.
يَا عَلِيُّ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ وَ أَبْغَضَ شِيعَتَكَ.
O Ali-asws! The Wrath of Allah-azwj Intensifies upon the one hating you-asws and hates your-asws Shias’’.[90]
86- رِيَاضُ الْجِنَانِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ يَا جَابِرُ خُلِقْنَا نَحْنُ وَ مُحِبُّونَا مِنْ طِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةٍ مِنْ أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فَخُلِقْنَا نَحْنُ مِنْ أَعْلَاهَا وَ خُلِقَ مُحِبُّونَا مِنْ دُونِهَا
(The book) ‘Riyaz Al Jinan’ – By his chain, from Jabir Al Jufy who said,
‘I was with Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws. He-asws said: ‘O Jabir! We-asws and ones loving us-asws have been Created from one clay, white, pure, from the high Illiyeen. We-asws are Created from its top and ones loving us-asws are Created from below it.
فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ الْتَحَقَتِ الْعُلْيَا بِالسُّفْلَى فَضَرَبْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا إِلَى حُجْزَةِ نَبِيِّنَا وَ ضَرَبَتْ شِيعَتُنَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى حُجْزَتِنَا فَأَيْنَ تَرَى يُصَيِّرُ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ وَ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ وَ أَيْنَ تَرَى يُصَيِّرُ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ مُحِبِّينَا
When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the top will be attached with the bottom, so we-asws shall tap with our-asws hands to a side of our-asws Prophet-saww, and our-asws Shias will tap with their hand to our-asws sides. So where do you see Allah-azwj Take His-azwj Prophet-saww and his-saww offspring, and where do you see his-saww offspring taking ones loving us-asws?’
فَضَرَبَ جَابِرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَ قَالَ دَخَلْنَاهَا وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.
Jabir Bin Yazeed struck upon his-asws hand and said: ‘We shall enter it, by the Lord-azwj of Kabah!’’[91]

And from him, by his chain, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: like a good tree, its roots are stable, and its branches are in the sky [14:24].
فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا أَصْلُهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ أَغْصَانُهَا وَ عِلْمُنَا ثَمَرَتُهَا وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَرَقُهَا يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ فَهَلْ تَرَى فِيهَا فَضْلًا
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am its roots, and Ali-asws is its branches, and the Imams-asws are its twigs, and our-asws knowledge is its fruits, and our-asws Shias are its leaves. O Abu Hamza! Do you see anything extra in it?’
فَقُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَى فِيهَا فَضْلًا
I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I do not see anything extra in it!’
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ إِنَّ الْمَوْلُودَ لَيُولَدُ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَتُورِقُ وَرَقَةً وَ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ مِنْهَا.
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! The new-born from our-asws Shias is born, so a leaf sprouts, and the dying one dies, so a leaf drops off from it’’.[92]
بيان: فهل ترى فيها فضلا أي فهل تكون في الشجرة غير هذه الأمور المذكورة
Explanation – ‘Do you see anything left out in it?’ – i.e., can there be in the tree other than these mentioned matters?

He-asws went closer to them and greeted upon them, then he-asws said to them: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws love your aromas and your souls, and you all are upon the Religion of Allah-azwj and there isn’t between one of you and between exultation with what is therein, except for his soul reaching over here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his‑asws larynx (voice box) – ‘Therefore, be assisting us-asws with the devoutness and the striving; and the one from you who follows an Imam-asws, so let him work with his deed.

You are the signs of Allah-azwj, and you are the aiders of Allah-azwj, and you are the helpers of Allah-azwj, and you are preceding the former ones and you are preceding the latter ones, and you would be preceding to the Paradise. I-asws am guaranteeing the Gardens to you all by the Command of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww. It is as if you are already in the Paradise. Be competing regarding the merits, the ranks. Every Momin from you is a truthful, and every Momina (believing woman) from you is a Hourie.

Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Qanbar! Arise and receive glad tidings, for Allah-azwj is Wrathful upon the (whole) community apart from our-asws Shias. Indeed! For everything there is a nobility, and the nobility of the Religion is the Shia. Indeed! And for everything there is a pillar, and the pillars of the Religion are the Shias.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِمَاداً وَ عِمَادُ الدِّينِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَيِّداً وَ سَيِّدُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَجْلِسُ شِيعَتِنَا أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شُهُوداً وَ شُهُودُ الْأَرْضِ أَرْضٌ سُكَّانُ شِيعَتِنَا فِيهَا
Indeed! And for everything there is a chief, and the chief of the gatherings, is the gathering of our-asws Shias. Indeed! And for everything there are witnesses, and the witnesses of the earth are our-asws Shias dwelling therein.
أَلَا وَ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً
Indeed! And the ones who oppose you (Shias) are linked to this Verse: Faces on that day will be humiliated [88:2] (Of the) toiling Nasibis (Hostile ones) [88:3] Arriving to a scorching Fire [88:4].
أَلَا وَ مَنْ دَعَا مِنْكُمْ فَدَعْوَتُهُ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ أَلَا وَ مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ حَاجَةً فَلَهُ بِهَا مِائَةُ حَاجَةٍ
Indeed! And the one from you who supplicates, so his supplication is Answered. Indeed! And if the one from you who asks the need, for him would be a hundred needs with it.
يَا حَبَّذَا حُسْنُ صُنْعِ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ تَخْرُجُ شِيعَتُنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ مُشْرِقَةً أَلْوَانُهُمْ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ قَدْ أُعْطُوا الْأَمَانَ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ وَ اللَّهُ أَشَدَّ حُبّاً لِشِيعَتِنَا مِنَّا لَهُمْ.
I-asws would love that Allah-azwj Deals excellently with you all. We-asws will extract our-asws Shias from their graves on the ‘Day of Qiyamah. Their colours would be shining and (as well as) their faces. They would have been Given the security, and there would be no fear upon them, nor would they be grieving. And Allah-azwj has more Intense Love for our-asws Shias than we-asws have for them’’.[95]

(The book) ‘Irshad Al Quloub’ – By the chain to Muhammad Bin Sabit who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created me-saww and you-asws from His-azwj Magnificent Light (Noor), then He-azwj Sprinkled from our-asws Noor upon entirety of the lights from after having Created it for it. The one who attained from that Noor is guided to us-asws, and the whom that Noor had missed, strays away from us’.
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُ نُوراً فَما لَهُ مِنْ نُورٍ يَهْتَدِي إِلَى نُورِنَا.
Then he-saww recited: And one for whom Allah does not Make light to be for him, then there would be no light for him [24:40] – guided to our-asws light (Noor)’’.[96]

And it is reported with attribution to, Rasool-Allah-saww having said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household, no one from the servants of Allah-azwj can be compared with us-asws, and the one who befriends us-asws, and is led by us-asws, and accepts from us-asws whatever is Revealed to us-asws, and we-asws teach it to him, and he is obedient to Allah-azwj, so he has befriended Allah‑azwj.
وَ نَحْنُ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ وَ وَلَدُنَا مِنَّا وَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا وَ شِيعَتُنَا مِنَّا مَنْ آذَاهُمْ آذَانَا وَ مَنْ أَكْرَمَهُمْ أَكْرَمَنَا وَ مَنْ أَكْرَمَنَا كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ.
And we-asws are best of Created beings, and our-asws children are from us-asws, and from our-asws souls, and our-asws Shias are from us-asws. One who hurts them hurts us-asws, and one who honours them honours us-asws, and one who honours us-asws will be from the people of Paradise’’.[97]

(The book) ‘Bashaarat Al-Mustafa-saww’ – by the chain to Al-Sadouq, from his father, from Sa’ad Al Barqy, from Al Qasim, from his grandfather,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said upon his-saww Pulpit: ‘O Ali-asws! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Gifted you-asws the love of the poor and the weak ones in the earth, therefore be pleased with them as brethren and they would be pleased with you-asws as an Imam-asws. Therefore, beatitude is for the one who loves you-asws and ratifies you-asws and woe is for the one who hates you-asws and lies upon you-asws.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ الْعَلَمُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ فَازَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ هَلَكَ
O Ali-asws! You-asws are the knowledgeable one of this community. The one who loves you-asws would be successful, and the one who hates you would be destroyed.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنَا الْمَدِينَةُ وَ أَنْتَ بَابُهَا وَ هَلْ تُؤْتَى الْمَدِينَةُ إِلَّا مِنْ بَابِهَا
O Ali-asws! I-saww am the city and you-asws are its gate, and can the city be arrived at except from its gate?
يَا عَلِيُّ أَهْلُ مَوَدَّتِكَ كُلُّ أَوَّابٍ حَفِيظٍ وَ كُلُّ ذِي طِمْرٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّ قَسَمَهُ
O Ali-asws! The people of your-asws cordiality [50:32] every penitent one keeps (His limits) and every one with shabby clothes. If he (your-asws Shia) was to vow upon Allah-azwj, he would fulfil his vow.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِخْوَانُكَ كُلُّ طَاهِرٍ زَاكٍ مُجْتَهِدٍ عِنْدَ الْخَلْقِ عَظِيمُ الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws brethren is every clean, clever, diligent one in the presence of the People, of great status in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
يَا عَلِيُّ مُحِبُّوكَ جِيرَانُ اللَّهِ فِي دَارِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ لَا يَأْسَفُونَ عَلَى مَا فَاتَهُمْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا
O Ali-asws! The one who loves you-asws would be in the vicinity of Allah-azwj in the house of Al-Firdous not regretting upon what was lost of them from the world.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنَا وَلِيٌّ لِمَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَ أَنَا عَدُوٌّ لِمَنْ عَادَيْتَ
O Ali-asws! I-saww am a friend of the one whom you-asws befriend, and I-saww am an enemy to the one whom you-asws are inimical to.
يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنِي
O Ali-asws! The one who loves you-asws, so he has loved me-saww, and the one who hates you-asws so he has hated me-asws.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِخْوَانُكَ الذُّبُلُ الشِّفَاهِ تُعْرَفُ الرَّهْبَانِيَّةُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws brethren are the ones of shrivelled lips. You can recognise the monasticism in their faces.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِخْوَانُكَ يَفْرَحُونَ فِي ثَلَاثِ مَوَاطِنَ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَنَا شَاهِدُهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ وَ عِنْدَ الْمُسَاءَلَةِ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ وَ عِنْدَ الْعَرْضِ وَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ إِذَا سُئِلَ الْخَلْقُ عَنْ إِيمَانِهِمْ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا
O Ali-asws! Your brethren would be joyous in three places – during the exit of their souls and I-saww and you-asws would be witnessing them, and during the questioning in their graves, and during the display (of their deeds), and at the Bridge when the people would be questioned about their Eman, but they would not be answering’.
يَا عَلِيُّ حَرْبُكَ حَرْبِي وَ سِلْمُكَ سِلْمِي وَ حَرْبِي حَرْبُ اللَّهِ وَ سِلْمِي سِلْمُ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ سَالَمَكَ فَقَدْ سَالَمَنِي وَ مَنْ سَالَمَنِي فَقَدْ سَالَمَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws war is my-saww war and your-asws peace is my-saww peace, and my-saww war is the War of Allah-azwj and my-saww peace is the Peace of Allah-azwj, and the one who is at peace with you-asws so he is at peace with me-saww, and the one who is at peace with me-saww, so he is at peace with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
يَا عَلِيُّ بَشِّرْ إِخْوَانَكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ رَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ إِذْ رَضِيَكَ لَهُمْ قَائِداً وَ رَضُوا بِكَ وَلِيّاً
O Ali-asws! Give glad tidings to your-asws brethren, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Pleased from them when you-asws are pleased for them as a guide, and they are pleased with you-asws as a Guardian.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ
O Ali-asws! You-asws are the Emir of the Momineen and guide of the resplendent.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ الْمُنْتَجَبُونَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ مَا قَامَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دِينٌ وَ لَوْ لَا مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ لَمَا أَنْزَلَتِ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are the exclellent ones, and had it not been for you-asws and your-asws Shias, Religion would not have been established for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and had it not been for the ones in the earth from you All, the sky would not have sent down its drops.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَكَ كَنْزٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَنْتَ ذُو قَرْنَيْهَا شِيعَتُكَ تُعْرَفُ بِحِزْبِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
O Ali-asws! For you-asws are the treasures in the Paradise, and you-asws and the one with its reins (control). Your-asws Shias would be recognised as the Party of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ الْقَائِمُونَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ
O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias are standing by the fairness and are the Choice of Allah-azwj from His-azwj creatures.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَنْفُضُ التُّرَابَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَ أَنْتَ مَعِي ثُمَّ سَائِرُ الْخَلْقِ
O Ali-asws! I-saww would be the first one to shake the dust from his (my-saww) head, and you-asws would be with me-asws, then the rest of the people (i.e., coming out from the graves’.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ تَسْقُونَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ وَ تَمْنَعُونَ مَنْ كَرِهْتُمْ وَ أَنْتُمُ الْآمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَفْزَعُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا تَفْزَعُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا تَحْزَنُونَ فِيكُمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِنَّا الْحُسْنى أُولئِكَ عَنْها مُبْعَدُونَ وَ فِيكُمْ نَزَلَتْ لا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ تَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ هذا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias would be at the Fountain quenching the ones you-asws love and preventing the ones whom you-asws dislike, and you all would be secure on the ‘Day of Qiyamah from the great panic, being in the Shade of the Throne. The people would be panicking, and you all would not be panicking, and the people would be grieving and you all would not be grieving. Regarding you all was this Verse Revealed [21:101] Surely (as for) those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they shall be remote from it. And regarding you all was Revealed [21:103] The great terror shall not grieve them, and the Angels shall meet them: This is your Day which you were Promised’’.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ تُطْلَبُونَ فِي الْمَوْقِفِ وَ أَنْتُمْ فِي الْجِنَانِ تَتَنَعَّمُونَ
O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias would be sought during the pausing and you would be in the Gardens, enjoying.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَ الْخُزَّانَ يَشْتَاقُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ إِنَّ حَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ المقربون [الْمُقَرَّبِينَ] لَيَخُصُّونَكُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ يَسْأَلُونَ اللَّهَ لِمُحِبِّيكُمْ وَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَنْ قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا يَفْرَحُ الْأَهْلُ بِالْغَائِبِ الْقَادِمِ بَعْدَ طُولِ الْغَيْبَةِ
O Ali-asws! The Angels and the keepers (of the Paradise) are desirous to you all, and that the bearers of the Throne and the Angels of Proximity are particularising you all with the supplications and are asking Allah-azwj for those that love you all and are being happy with the ones from you who proceeds to them just as the family tends to be happy with the coming of the absentee after the long absence.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ اللَّهَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ يَنْصَحُونَهُ فِي الْعَلَانِيَةِ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are those who are fearing Allah-azwj in the praivacy and are advising (the people) in the open.
يَا عَلِيُّ شِيعَتُكَ الَّذِينَ يَتَنَافَسُونَ فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ ذَنْبٌ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws Shias are those who are competing with regards to the Levels because they would be meeting Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and there would not be a sin upon them.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ شِيعَتِكَ سَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ فَأَفْرَحُ بِصَالِحِ مَا يَبْلُغُنِي مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لِسَيِّئَاتِهِمْ
O Ali-asws! The deeds of your-asws Shias are being presented to me-saww during every Friday, so I-saww become happy with the righteous of what reaches me-saww from their deeds, and I-saww seek Forgiveness for their evil deeds.
يَا عَلِيُّ ذِكْرُكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَ ذِكْرُ شِيعَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُخْلَقُوا بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ كَذَلِكَ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ فَسَلْ أَهْلَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ عَنْ إِلْيَا يُخْبِرُونَكَ مَعَ عِلْمِكَ بِالتَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ مَا أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْإِنْجِيلِ لَيَتَعَاظَمُونَ إِلْيَا وَ مَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ وَ مَا يَعْرِفُونَ شِيعَتَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا يَعْرِفُونَهُمْ بِمَا يُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ فِي كُتُبِهِمْ
O Ali-asws! Your-asws mention in the Torah and the mention of your-asws Shias with every goodness was before they were Created, and like that it is in the Evangel. So ask the people of the Evangel and the People of the Book about ‘Eliya’. They will inform you-asws with your-asws knowledge in the Torah and the Evangel and What Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Gave you-asws from the Knowledge of the Book, and that the people of the Evangel are revering ‘Eliya’ and they are not recognising him and are not recognising his Shias, and rather they are recognising them with what they are discussing them in their own Books.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَكَ ذِكْرُهُمْ فِي السَّمَاءِ أَكْبَرُ وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذِكْرِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ لَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا بِذَلِكَ وَ لْيَزْدَادُوا اجْتِهَاداً
O Ali-asws! Your-asws companions, their mention in the sky is greater and more magnificent than the mentioning of the people of the earth for them with the goodness, so let them be joyous with that and let them increase the striving.
يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ شِيعَتِكَ لَتَصْعَدُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فِي رُقَادِهِمْ وَ وَفَاتِهِمْ فَتَنْظُرُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَيْهَا كَمَا يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَى الْهِلَالِ شَوْقاً إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لِمَا يَرَوْنَ مِنْ مَنْزِلَتِهِمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
O Ali-asws! The souls of your-asws Shias ascend to the sky during their sleep and their death. So the Angels look at these just as the people tend to look at the crescent, being desirous to them, and due to what they are seeing from their status in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
يَا عَلِيُّ قُلْ لِأَصْحَابِكَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِكَ يُنَزِّهُونَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَالِ الَّتِي يُقَارِفُهَا عَدُوُّهُمْ فَمَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَ لَا لَيْلَةٍ إِلَّا وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى تَغْشَاهُمْ فَلْيَجْتَنِبُوا الدَّنَسَ
O Ali-asws! Say to your-asws companions, the ones being recognised with you-asws, they should be abstaining from the deeds which their enemies are indulging in. So there is none from a day nor from a night except the Mercy of Allah-azwj Blessed and High Overwhelms them, therefore let them keep aside from the filth.
يَا عَلِيُّ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى مَنْ قَلَاهُمْ وَ بَرِيءٌ مِنْكَ وَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اسْتَبْدَلَ بِكَ وَ بِهِمْ وَ مَالَ إِلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَ تَرَكَكَ وَ شِيعَتَكَ وَ اخْتَارَ الضَّلَالَ وَ نَصَبَ لَكَ وَ لِشِيعَتِكَ وَ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَبْغَضَ مَنْ وَالاكَ وَ نَصَرَكَ وَ اخْتَارَكَ وَ بَذَلَ مُهْجَتَهُ وَ مَالَهُ فِينَا
O Ali-asws! The Wrath of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Intensifies upon the one who detests them (Shias) and disavows from you-asws and from them, and exchanges with you-asws and with them (someone else), and inclines towards your-asws enemies and neglects you-asws and your‑asws Shias, and chooses the straying, and is hostile to you-asws and to your-asws Shias, and hates us-asws – the People-asws of the Household, and hates the one who befriends you-asws, and helps (those who are against) you-asws, and chooses you-asws, and exerts his efforts and his wealth regarding us-asws.
يَا عَلِيُّ أَقْرِئْهُمْ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ مَنْ رَآنِي مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَرَنِي وَ أَعْلِمْهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ إِخْوَانِيَ الَّذِينَ أَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلْيَلْقُوا عَمَلِي إِلَى مَنْ يَبْلُغُ الْقُرُونَ بَعْدِي وَ لْيَتَمَسَّكُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ وَ لْيَعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ وَ لْيَجْتَهِدُوا فِي الْعَمَلِ فَإِنَّا لَا نُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنْ هُدًى إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ وَ أَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَاضٍ عَنْهُمْ وَ أَنَّهُ يُبَاهِي بِهِمْ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ في كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ يَأْمُرُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ
O Ali-asws! Convey to them the greetings from me-saww, the one from them who has seen me‑saww and the one from them who has not seen me-saww, and let them know that they are my-saww brethren, those I-saww am desirous to. Therefore, let them be casting my-saww deeds to the ones who reach the centuries (generations) after me-saww, and let them attach themselves with the Rope of Allah-azwj and let them be holding tight with it, and let them be striving in the deeds, for we-asws will not be exiting them from guidance to the straying. And inform them that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Pleased from them, and that He-azwj is Boasting about them to His-azwj Angels and is Looking at them during every Friday with His-azwj Mercy, and He-azwj is Commanding the Angels that they seek Forgiveness for them.
يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَرْغَبْ عَنْ نُصْرَةِ قَوْمٍ يَبْلُغُهُمْ أَوْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فَأَحَبُّوكَ لِحُبِّي إِيَّاكَ وَ دَانُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ وَ أَعْطَوْكَ صَفْوَ الْمَوَدَّةِ مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ اخْتَارُوكَ عَلَى الْآبَاءِ وَ الْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَوْلَادِ وَ سَلَكُوا طَرِيقَكَ وَ قَدْ حُمِلُوا عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ فِينَا فَأَبَوْا إِلَّا نَصْرَنَا وَ بَذْلَ الْمُهَجِ فِينَا مَعَ الْأَذَى وَ سُوءِ الْقَوْلِ وَ مَا يُقَاسُونَهُ مِنْ مَضَاضَةِ ذَلِكَ
O Ali-asws! Do be wishing about helping a people to whom it has reached, or they have heard that I-saww love you-asws, so they are loving you-asws for my-saww love for you-asws, and they are making it a Religion of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with that, and are obeying you-asws with sincere cordiality from their hearts, and are choosing you-asws over the fathers and the brothers and the children, and they are travelling your-asws path, and they are being carried upon its abhorrences regarding us-asws and they are refusing except to help us-asws and are expending their lives regarding us-asws with the harming and evil words which they are experiencing from the agony of that.
فَكُنْ بِهِمْ رَحِيماً وَ اقْنَعْ بِهِمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اخْتَارَهُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ لَنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ الْخَلْقِ وَ خَلَقَهُمْ مِنْ طِينَتِنَا وَ اسْتَوْدَعَهُمْ سِرَّنَا وَ أَلْزَمَ قُلُوبَهُمْ مَعْرِفَةَ حَقِّنَا وَ شَرَحَ صُدُورَهُمْ مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِحَبْلِنَا لَا يُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ خَالَفَنَا مَعَ مَا يَزُولُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا عَنْهُمْ
So be merciful and content with them, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Chosen them in His-azwj Knowledge, for us-asws from between the creatures, and Created them from our-asws clay, and Entrusted them with our-asws secrets, and Necessitated their hearts of recognising our-asws rights, and Expanded their chests. They are attaching with our-asws rope and are not preferring against us-asws, the ones who are opposing us-asws along with whatever is declining away from them of their world.
أَيَّدَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ سَلَكَ بِهِمْ طَرِيقَ الْهُدَى فَاعْتَصَمُوا بِهِ وَ النَّاسُ فِي عَمَهِ الضَّلَالِ مُتَحَيِّرُونَ فِي الْأَهْوَاءِ عَمُوا عَنِ الْحُجَّةِ وَ مَا جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَهُمْ يُصْبِحُونَ وَ يُمْسُونَ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَ شِيعَتُكَ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ الْحَقِّ وَ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ لَا يَسْتَأْنِسُونَ إِلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ وَ لَيْسَتِ الدُّنْيَا مِنْهُمْ وَ لَيْسُوا مِنْهَا أُولَئِكَ مَصَابِيحُ الدُّجَى.
Allah-azwj Supports them and Makes them travel on the road of Guidance. Thus, they are holding fast with it and the (other) people are in their blindness of the straying, confused in their personal whims, blind from the Divine Authority and whatever has come from the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and they are in the morning and evening, in the Wrath of Allah-azwj, but your-asws Shias are upon the Manifesto of the Truth, and the uprightness, not being comforted to the ones who oppose them, and the world isn’t for them, and they aren’t for it. They are the lamps in the darkness’’.[98]

(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From ‘Al-Rowza’, from the number, from Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father having said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, when Abu Baseer came up to him-asws, and he was panting. So when he took his seat, Abu Abdullah-asws said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad, what is this heavy breathing for?’
فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَ دَقَّ عَظْمِي وَ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلِي مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَسْتُ أَدْرِي مَا أَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ آخِرَتِي
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, O son-asws of the Messenger-saww of Allah-azwj, great is my age, and my bones are creaking, and my term (death) is approaching, besides that I do not know what will happen to me from the matters of the Hereafter’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ هَذَا
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, and you are saying this?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, and how can I not say this?’
قَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَكَيْفَ لَا أَقُولُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُكْرِمُ الشَّبَابَ مِنْكُمْ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ
He-saww said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, but do you know that Allah-azwj the High has Honoured the young ones among you, and is Bashful towards the elderly?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَكَيْفَ يُكْرِمُ الشَّبَابَ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, so how has He-azwj Honoured the young, and been Bashful towards the elderly?’
فَقَالَ يُكْرِمُ الشَّبَابَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ أَنْ يُحَاسِبَهُمْ
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Honoured the young ones (too much) to Punish them and is too Bashful towards the elderly to bring them to the Reckoning’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا لَنَا خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِأَهْلِ التَّوْحِيدِ
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, is this especially for us, or for (all) the people of Tawheed (Unitarians)?’
قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا لَكُمْ خَاصَّةً دُونَ الْعَالَمِ
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj, it is only for you (Shiites) especially, apart from the whole world’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنَّا نُبِزْنَا نَبْزاً انْكَسَرَتْ لَهُ ظُهُورُنَا وَ مَاتَتْ لَهُ أَفْئِدَتُنَا وَ اسْتَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْوُلَاةُ دِمَاءَنَا فِي حَدِيثٍ رَوَاهُ لَهُمْ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, we are being named by a name which is breaking our backs, and killing our hearts, and our blood has been declared lawful to be shed in the Hadeeth which are being narrated to them from their jurists’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الرَّافِضَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Is it ‘Al-Rafiza’ (the rejectors)?’ He said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا هُمْ سَمَّوْكُمْ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمَّاكُمْ بِهِ
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj, they are not the ones who have named you as such, but it is Allah-azwj Who has Named you all with it’.
أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَفَضُوا فِرْعَوْنَ وَ قَوْمَهُ لَمَّا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُمْ ضَلَالُهُمْ فَلَحِقُوا بِمُوسَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ لَمَّا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُمْ هُدَاهُ فَسُمُّوا فِي عَسْكَرِ مُوسَى الرَّافِضَةَ لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا فِرْعَوْنَ وَ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الْعَسْكَرِ عِبَادَةً وَ أَشَدَّهُمْ حُبّاً لِمُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا ع
But, do you know, O Abu Muhammad that seventy men from the Children of Israel rejected the Pharaoh-la and his people, when they detected his misguidance. They attached themselves with Musa-as when they detected his-as guidance. So they were named (referred to) in the army of Musa-as as Al-Rafiza (The Rejectors) because they had rejected the Pharaoh-la, and they were the most intense worshippers in that army, and very intense in their love for Musa‑as and Haroun-as and their-as offspring.
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَثْبِتْ لَهُمْ هَذَا الِاسْمَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَ نَحَلْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ فَأَثْبَتَ مُوسَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الِاسْمَ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ ذَخَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا الِاسْمَ حَتَّى نَحَلَكُمُوهُ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musa-as that: “Establish this name for them in the Torah, for I-azwj has Named them with it, and have Gifted it to them”. So Musa-as established the name for them, then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Reserved this name for you all to the extent that we-asws have gifted it to you.
يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَضُوا الْخَيْرَ وَ رَفَضْتُمُ الشَّرَّ افْتَرَقَ النَّاسُ كُلَّ فُرْقَةٍ وَ تَشَعَّبُوا كُلَّ شُعْبَةٍ فَانْشَعَبْتُمْ مَعَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ص وَ ذَهَبْتُمْ حَيْثُ ذَهَبُوا وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ مَنِ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَ أَرَدْتُمْ مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ
O Abu Muhammad, they rejected the good, and you have rejected the evil. All the people have separated into sects, and they all divided into branches. You have branched out with the People-asws of the Household of your Prophet-saww, and you did what they did, and you chose what Allah-azwj had Chosen for you, and you wanted what Allah-azwj wanted.
فَأَبْشِرُوا ثُمَّ أَبْشِرُوا فَأَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الْمَرْحُومُونَ الْمُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْ مُحْسِنِكُمْ وَ الْمُتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ مُسِيئِكُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنْهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَ لَمْ يُتَجَاوَزْ لَهُ عَنْ سَيِّئَةٍ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
So receive glad tidings upon glad tidings, for By Allah-azwj, you (Shias) are ones with whom Allah-azwj has been Merciful, the ones whose good deeds will be Accepted, and the sins being Overlooked. The one who does not come to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, with what you are upon, on the Day of Qiyamah, the good deeds will not be Accepted from him, nor will his sins be Overlooked. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَائِكَةً يُسْقِطُونَ الذُّنُوبَ عَنْ ظُهُورِ شِيعَتِنَا كَمَا يُسْقِطُ الرِّيحُ الْوَرَقَ فِي أَوَانِ سُقُوطِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتِغْفَارُهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ دُونَ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Assigned Angels to cut-off the sins from the backs of our-asws Shias just like the leaves get cut-off in the autumn by the wind, and that is His-azwj Word, the Mighty and Majestic: Those who are holding the Throne and ones around it are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord and are believing in Him and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe, [40:7]. By Allah-azwj, their Seeking of Forgiveness is for you (Shias) apart from the other creatures. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا-
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you (Shiites) in His-azwj Book. He-azwj said: From the Momineen there are men who ratified what they made a pact with Allah upon. So, from them is one who fulfilled his vow, and from them is one who awaits, and they did not change with any alteration [33:23].
إِنَّكُمْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِمَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِيثَاقَكُمْ مِنْ وَلَايَتِنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُبَدِّلُوا بِنَا غَيْرَنَا وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا لَعَيَّرَكُمُ اللَّهُ كَمَا عَيَّرَهُمْ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ ما وَجَدْنا لِأَكْثَرِهِمْ مِنْ عَهْدٍ وَ إِنْ وَجَدْنا أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفاسِقِينَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
You all have been loyal to the Covenant which Allah-azwj has Taken from you, of our-asws Wilayah, and you never exchanged us-asws for others. Had you not done that, Allah-azwj would have Reproached you just as He-azwj Reproached them where He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Remembrance, Said: And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulness to) the Covenant, and We found most of them to be mischief-makers [7:102]. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِخْواناً عَلى سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلِينَ- وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you in His-azwj Book: And We shall Remove whatever is in their chests from grudges, as brethren upon couches face to face [15:47]. And Allah-azwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shiites), O Abu Muhammad. So, have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ- وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws: ‘O Abu Muhammad, The friends on that Day would be enemies of each other, except for the pious [43:67], and Allah-azwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shiites). O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ شِيعَتَنَا وَ عَدُوَّنَا فِي آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ فَنَحْنُ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَ عَدُوُّنَا الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ شِيعَتُنَا هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Mentioned us-asws and our‑asws Shias, and our-asws enemies in a Verse from His-azwj Book. The Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘Are they equal, those who do not know and those do know?’ But rather, the ones of the understanding will heed [39:9]. So we-asws are the ones who know, and our-asws enemies are the ones who do not know, and our-asws Shias are the men of understanding. O Abu Muhammad, so have I-asws made you happy?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, increase it for me’.
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْصِيَاءِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَا أَتْبَاعِهِمْ مَا خَلَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ شِيعَتَهُ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُ يَوْمَ لا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئاً وَ لا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ عَلِيّاً وَ شِيعَتَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, By Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj has not Made an Exception for anyone from the successors-as of the Prophets-as and their-as followers except for Amir-ul-Momineen-asws and his-asws Shias. So He-azwj Said in His-azwj Book, and His-azwj Words are True: A Day, neither will a friend avail anything from a friend, nor would they be helped [44:41] Except one Allah Mercies. Surely, He is the Mighty, the Merciful [44:42] -Meaning by that Ali-asws and his-asws Shias. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy?’

He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj the High has Mentioned you all when He-azwj Said: Say: ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. Surely, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [39:53]. And Allah-azwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shias). So, have I-asws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad?’

He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all in His-azwj Book: “[17:65] Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority over them; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector”. And Allah-azwj has not Intended by this but the Imams-asws and their-asws Shias. So, have I-asws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.

He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all in His-azwj Book. He-azwj Said: And the one who obeys Allah and the Rasool, so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69].Rasool-Allah-saww in the Verse is ‘from among the Prophets-as’, and we-asws, in this subject are the ‘truthful and the martyrs’, and you all are the ‘righteous’, therefore adopt this name by the righteousness as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Named you. O Abu Muhammad, so, have I made you happy?’

He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’.
قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِذْ حَكَى عَنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ فِي النَّارِ بِقَوْلِهِ وَ قالُوا ما لَنا لا نَرى رِجالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرارِ أَتَّخَذْناهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصارُ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all when He-azwj Narrated about your enemies in the Fire by His-azwj Words: And they will say, ‘What is the matter with us, we do not see men whom we used to count as being from the evil ones?’ [38:62] Did we take them in scorn or are the visions turned away from them? [38:63].
وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى اللَّهُ وَ لَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ صِرْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ شِرَارَ النَّاسِ وَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ تُحْبَرُونَ وَ فِي النَّارِ تُطْلَبُونَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
And Allah-azwj has not Meant, and not Intended by this other than you (Shias). You have become as the evil people in the eyes of this world, and by Allah-azwj, you will be in the Paradise you will be in delight whereas in the Fire you will be sought. O Abu Muhammad, so have I-asws made you happy?’

He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Guides to the Paradise, nor Mentions it addressees with goodness except that it is regarding us-asws and regarding our-asws Shias. And there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Mentions its addressees with evil, or Points to the Fire except that it is regarding our-asws enemies and the ones who are opposed to us-asws.

O Khaysama! One who recognises the Eman and connects with it, the sins will not defile him, just as the lamp illuminates and gives out the light and nothing is reduced from its illumination, like what is the one who recognises us-asws and acknowledges with our-asws Wilayah.

فَتَقُولُ لِلْحَسَنِ مَنْ هَذَا فَيَقُولُ هَذَا أَخِي إِنَّ أُمَّةَ أَبِيكِ قَتَلُوهُ وَ قَطَعُوا رَأْسَهُ
She-asws will say to Al-Hassan-asws: ‘Who is this?’ He-asws will say: ‘This is my-asws brother-asws. The community of your-asws father-saww killed him-asws and cut of his-asws head’.
فَيَأْتِيهَا النِّدَاءُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يَا بِنْتَ حَبِيبِ اللَّهِ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَرَيْتُكِ مَا فَعَلَتْ بِهِ أُمَّةُ أَبِيكِ إِنِّي ادَّخَرْتُ لَكِ عِنْدِي تَعْزِيَةً بِمُصِيبَتِكِ فِيهِ إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ تَعْزِيَةَ الْيَوْمِ أَنِّي لَا أَنْظُرُ فِي مُحَاسَبَةِ الْعِبَادِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلِي الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتُكِ وَ شِيعَتُكِ وَ مَنْ أَوْلَاكُمْ مَعْرُوفاً مِمَّنْ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْ شِيعَتِكِ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ فِي مُحَاسَبَةِ الْعِبَادِ
The call will come to her-asws from the Presence of Allah-azwj: “O daughter-asws of the Beloved of Allah-azwj! I-azwj rather Wanted to Show you-asws what the community of your-asws father-saww had done with him-asws! I-azwj have Treasured with Me-azwj a consolation for your-asws calamity regarding him-asws. Today I-azwj shall Make a consolation that I-azwj will not even Look into the Reckoning of the servants!”
فَتَدْخُلُ فَاطِمَةُ ابْنَتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتُهَا وَ شِيعَتُهَا وَ مَنْ أَوْلَاهَا مَعْرُوفاً مِمَّنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شِيعَتِهَا فَهُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ لا يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ
So my-saww daughter-asws Fatima-asws will enter the Paradise, and her-asws offspring, and her-asws Shias, and the one who did to her-asws an act of kindness, from the ones who weren’t from her-asws Shias. It is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: The great terror shall not grieve them, [21:103]’.
قَالَ هَوْلُ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ هُمْ فِي مَا اشْتَهَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ خالِدُونَ هِيَ وَ اللَّهِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ ذُرِّيَّتُهَا وَ شِيعَتُهَا وَ مَنْ أَوْلَاهُمْ مَعْرُوفاً وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْ شِيعَتِهَا.
He-asws said: ‘The terror of the Day of Qiyamah, and they would be in what their souls desire, for eternity [21:102]. By Allah-azwj! It is (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and her-asws offspring, and her-asws Shias, and the one who had done an act of kindness to her-asws not being from her-asws Shias’’.[117]

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – From Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Isa Al Zuhry transmitting from Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
‘I headed to Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws in order to greet unto him-asws. It was not long before he-asws came out. I stood up standing upon my feet and received him-asws. He-asws tapped by his-asws palm to my palm and intertwined his-asws fingers in my fingers. He-asws said: ‘O Asbagh Bin Nubata!’ I said, ‘At your-asws service and your-asws assistance, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ وَلِيَّنَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا مَاتَ كَانَ فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى وَ سَقَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَهَرٍ أَبْرَدَ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الشَّهْدِ
He-asws said: ‘Our-asws friend is a friend of Allah-azwj. When he dies, he would be among the lofty friends, and Allah-azwj will Quench him from a river colder than ice and sweeter than the honey!’
فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُذْنِباً
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and even if he was a sinner?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ أَ لَمْ تَقْرَأْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَأُوْلئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ حَسَناتٍ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً.
He-asws said: ‘Yes! Have you not read the Book of Allah-azwj: so those ones, Allah would Replace their evil deeds with good deeds, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful [25:70]’’.[118]

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding us-asws and regarding our‑asws Shias: So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101], and that is when Allah-azwj will Call out with our-asws merits and merits of our-asws Shias until we-asws will be interceding and they will be interceding’.

He-asws said: ‘When the ones who aren’t from them, see that, they will say, ‘So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101]’’.[119]

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad Al Awdy, transmitting from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘What is your (Shia’s) state in the presence of the people?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَحَدٌ أَسْوَأَ حَالًا مِنَّا عِنْدَهُمْ نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ الْمَجُوسِ وَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘There is no one of a worse state than we are in their presence. In their view we (Shias) are eviler than the Jews, and the Christians, and the Magians, and the ones who are associating (Polytheists)’.
قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُرَى فِي النَّارِ مِنْكُمْ اثْنَانِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا وَاحِدٌ وَ إِنَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ آيَةُ وَ قالُوا ما لَنا لا نَرى رِجالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرارِ أَتَّخَذْناهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصارُ.
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj! No two of you will be seen in the Fire! No, by Allah-azwj, and not ever one, and you are the ones regarding them the Verse has been Revealed: And they will say, ‘What is the matter with us, we do not see men whom we used to count as being from the evil ones?’ [38:62] Did we take them in scorn or are the visions turned away from them?

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim, from Ubeyd Bin Kaseer transmitting,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘I-asws and Rasool-Allah-saww will be at the Fountain and with us-asws will be our-asws families. The one who wants us-asws (to stay in our-asws service), so let him take with our-asws words and let him-asws work with our-asws deeds!
فَإِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَنَا شَفَاعَةٌ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي لِقَائِنَا عَلَى الْحَوْضِ فَإِنَّا نَذُودُ عَنْهُ أَعْدَاءَنَا وَ نَسْقِي مِنْهُ أَوْلِيَاءَنَا وَ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَداً
We-asws are People-asws of the Household. There is (a right of) intercession for us-asws, therefore compete in meeting us-asws at the Fountain, for we-asws shall be impeding our-asws enemies from it, and we-asws shall be quenching our-asws friends from it, and the one who drinks from it, will not be thirsty, ever!
وَ حَوْضُنَا مُتْرَعٌ فِيهِ مَثْعَبَانِ يَنْصَبَّانِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَحَدُهُمَا تَسْنِيمٌ وَ الْآخَرُ مَعِينٌ عَلَى حَافَتَيْهِ الزَّعْفَرَانُ وَ حَصْبَاهُ الدُّرُّ وَ الْيَاقُوتُ وَ إِنَّ الْأُمُورَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَيْسَتْ إِلَى الْعِبَادِ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ إِلَى الْعِبَادِ مَا اخْتَارُوا عَلَيْنَا أَحَداً وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ
And our-asws Fountain is such a field that there are two springs pouring into it from the Paradise – one of them is ‘Tasneem’ and the other one is ‘Maeen’. Upon its edges is the saffron (as grass), and its pebbles are of gems and rubies, and the matter is up to Allah-azwj and it isn’t up to the servants. Had it been up to the servants, they would not have chosen anyone over us-asws, but He-azwj Chooses the ones He-azwj so Desires from Him-azwj Mercy.
فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا اخْتَصَّكُمْ بِهِ مِنَ النِّعَمِ وَ عَلَى طِيبِ الْمَوْلِدِ فَإِنَّ ذِكْرَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ شِفَاءٌ مِنَ الْوَعْكِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ وَسْوَاسِ الرَّيْبِ وَ إِنَّ حُبَّنَا رِضَى الرَّبِّ
So praise Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj has Specialised you (Shias) with, from the bounties and upon the goodness of the birth, for our-asws Zikr (mention), of People-asws of the Household, is a healing from the malaise and the sickness, and the hesitation of the doubts, and having our-asws love Pleases the Lord-azwj.
وَ الْآخِذُ بِأَمْرِنَا وَ طَرِيقَتِنَا مَعَنَا غَداً فِي حَظِيرَةِ الْقُدْسِ وَ الْمُنْتَظِرُ لِأَمْرِنَا كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ بِدَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ وَاعِيَتَنَا فَلَمْ يَنْصُرْنَا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ
And the one taking with our-asws matter and our-asws paths will be with us-asws tomorrow in a Holy enclosure (Paradise), and the one awaiting for our-asws matter is like the one smeared in his blood in the Way of Allah-azwj, and the one who hear our-asws cry but does not help us-asws, Allah-azwj will Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire.
نَحْنُ الْبَابُ إِذَا بُعِثُوا فَضَاقَتْ بِهِمُ الْمَذَاهِبُ نَحْنُ بَابُ حِطَّةٍ وَ هُوَ بَابُ الْإِسْلَامِ مَنْ دَخَلَهُ نَجَا وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ هَوَى
We-asws are the door. When they (people) are Resurrected, the doctrines will be narrow with them. We-asws are the door of ‘Hitta’, and it is the door of Al-Islam. One who enters it will attain salvation, and one staying behind from it would collapse.
بِنَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ وَ بِنَا يَخْتِمُ وَ بِنَا يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ بِنَا يُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ فَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا لَكُمْ فِي الْغَنَاءِ بَيْنَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ صَبْرِكُمْ عَلَى الْأَذَى لَقَرَّتْ أَعْيُنُكُمْ
Allah-azwj Began with us-asws and He-azwj will be Ending with us-asws. Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to [13:39], and due to us-asws rains fall. Do not let the deceiver deceive you all! If you were to know what is for you in the riches between your enemies and your patience upon the harm, your eyes would be delighted.
وَ لَوْ فَقَدْتُمُونِي لَرَأَيْتُمْ أُمُوراً يَتَمَنَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَوْتَ مِمَّا يَرَى مِنَ الْجَوْرِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ الْأَثَرَةِ وَ الِاسْتِخْفَافِ بِحَقِّ اللَّهِ وَ الْخَوْفِ فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً وَ لا تَفَرَّقُوا
And if you were to lose me-asws, you would see such affairs, (every) one of you will be wishing for the death from what he sees, from the tyranny, and the aggression, and the selfishness, and the taking lightly with the rights of Allah-azwj, and the fear. So when it would be like that, then hold firmly with the Rope of Allah altogether and do not be disunited, [3:103].
وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّبْرِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ التَّقِيَّةِ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُبْغِضُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُتَلَوِّنَ
And upon you all is to be with the patience, and the Salat, and the Taqiyyah (dissimulation), and know that Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Hates the ones from His-azwj servants, the colourful (dressed).
فَلَا تَزُولُوا عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ وَلَايَةِ أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ اسْتَبْدَلَ بِنَا هَلَكَ وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ أَثَرَنَا لَحِقَ وَ مَنْ سَلَكَ غَيْرَ طَرِيقِنَا غَرِقَ وَ إِنَّ لِمُحِبِّينَا أَفْوَاجاً مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّ لِمُبْغِضِينَا أَفْوَاجاً مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ طَرِيقُنَا الْقَصْدُ وَ فِي أَمْرِنَا الرُّشْدُ
So do not decline from the truth and Wilayah of the truth, for the one who replaces us-asws (with others) will be destroyed, and the one who follows our-asws traces (Ahadeeth) would catch up, and the one who travels other than our path will be drowned, and that for the one who loves us-asws would be groups from the Mercy of Allah-azwj, and for the ones hating us-asws would be groups from the Punishments of Allah-azwj. Our-asws path is the moderate and in our-asws matter there is rightful guidance.
أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى مَنَازِلِ شِيعَتِنَا كَمَا يُرَى الْكَوْكَبُ الدُّرِّيُّ فِي السَّمَاءِ لَا يَضِلُّ مَنِ اتَّبَعَنَا وَ لَا يَهْتَدِي مَنْ أَنْكَرَنَا وَ لَا يَنْجُو مَنْ أَعَانَ عَلَيْنَا عَدُوَّنَا وَ لَا يُعَانُ مَنْ أَسْلَمَنَا
The people of Paradise will be looking at the dwellings of our-asws Shias just as one sees the shining star in the sky. He will not stray, the one who follows us-asws, nor will he be guided, the one who denies us-asws, and he will not attain salvation, one who assists our-asws enemies against us-asws and does not assist the one who is at peace with us-asws.
فَلَا تَخَلَّفُوا عَنَّا لِطَمَعِ دُنْيَا بِحُطَامٍ زَائِلٍ عَنْكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَزُولُونَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ آثَرَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْنَا عَظُمَتْ حَسْرَتُهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يا حَسْرَتى عَلى ما فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ
So do not stay behind from us-asws for greed of the world for the debris to be declining away from you and you will be declining away from it, for the one who prefers the world over us-asws, his regret would be mighty, and Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: ‘O regret, upon what I wasted regarding the Side of Allah, [39:56].
سِرَاجُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَعْرِفَةُ حَقِّنَا وَ أَشَدُّ الْعَمَى مَنْ عَمِيَ مِنْ فَضْلِنَا وَ نَاصَبَنَا الْعَدَاوَةَ بِلَا ذَنْبٍ إِلَّا أَنْ دَعَوْنَاهُ إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَ دَعَاهُ غَيْرُنَا إِلَى الْفِتْنَةِ فَآثَرَهَا عَلَيْنَا
A lamp of the Momin is recognition of our-asws rights, and the most severely blind is the one blinded from our-asws merits and establishes the enmity to us-asws without any sin (from us-asws), except that we-asws calling him to the truth and others are calling him to the discord (Fitna), so he prefers it over us-asws.
لَنَا رَايَةٌ مَنِ اسْتَظَلَّ بِهَا كَنَّتْهُ وَ مَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا فَازَ وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهَا نَجَا
For us-asws there is a flag, one who shades with it, it will shelter him, and one who precedes to it would succeed, and the one staying behind from it would be destroyed, and one adhering with it would attain salvation.
أَنْتُمْ عُمَّارُ الْأَرْضِ الَّذِينَ اسْتَخْلَفَكُمْ فِيهَا لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ فَرَاقِبُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا يَرَى مِنْكُمْ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمَحَجَّةِ الْعُظْمَى فَاسْلُكُوهَا لَا يَسْتَبْدِلْ بِكُمْ غَيْرَكُمْ سارِعُوا إِلى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّماواتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ-
You (Shias) are builders of the earth, the ones having been made to be caliphs in it in order to look how you are learning. So be watchful of Allah-azwj regarding whatever is seen from you, and upon you is to be with the mighty argumentation, so travel it, others should not be replacing you all. And hasten to Forgiveness from your Lord; and a Garden, the extensiveness of which is (as) the skies and the earth, prepared for the pious [3:133].
فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَنَالُوهَا إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ الْأَخْذَ عَمَّنْ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ قَيَّضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ شَيْطاناً فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ
Know that you (Shias) will never be achieving except being with the piety, and the one who leaves the taking from the ones Allah-azwj has Commanded with obeying him, Allah-azwj would Allocate a Satan-la for him, and he-la would be his pair.
مَا بَالُكُمْ قَدْ رَكَنْتُمْ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ رَضِيتُمْ بِالضَّيْمِ وَ فَرَّطْتُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ عِزُّكُمْ وَ سَعَادَتُكُمْ وَ قُوَّتُكُمْ عَلَى مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيْكُمْ لَا مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ تَسْتَحْيُونَ وَ لَا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ وَ أَنْتُمْ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تُضَامُونَ وَ لَا تَنْتَبِهُونَ مِنْ رَقْدَتِكُمْ وَ لَا تَنْقَضِي فَتْرَتُكُمْ
What is the matter with you all inclining towards the world, and you are pleased with the injustices, and you are fleeing regarding what there is your honour and your happiness? And you strength upon the one who rebels against you is not from your Lord-azwj. You are embarrassed and not for yourselves, you are waiting and during every day you are being pressed and you are not waking up from your slumber, nor are your terms coming to an end.
أَ مَا تَرَوْنَ إِلَى دِينِكُمْ يَبْلَى وَ أَنْتُمْ فِي غَفْلَةِ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ لا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَ ما لَكُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِياءَ ثُمَّ لا تُنْصَرُونَ.
Are you not looking at your religion decaying while you are in the heedlessness of the world? Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, Says: And you should not incline towards those who are unjust, so the Fire would touch you, and there would not a Guardian for you all from besides Allah, then you will not be helped [11:113]’’.[121]

‘We entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws and in his-asws presence was Ziyad Al-Ahlam. Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘O Ziyad! What is the matter I-asws see your legs being ripped apart? (cuts & bruises)’.
قَالَ جُعِلْتُ لَكَ الْفِدَاءَ جِئْتُ عَلَى نِضْوٍ لِي أُعَاتِبُهُ الطَّرِيقَ وَ مَا حَمَلَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا حُبٌّ لَكُمْ وَ شَوْقٌ إِلَيْكُمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have come upon a weak camel, the road had exhausted it, and nothing carried be upon that (completing the journey) except love for you (Imams-asws), and yearning to you-asws all!’
ثُمَّ أَطْرَقَ زِيَادٌ مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ قَالَ جُعِلْتُ لَكَ الْفِدَاءَ إِنِّي رُبَّمَا خَلَوْتُ فَأَتَانِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيُذَكِّرُنِي مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْمَعَاصِي فَكَأَنِّي آيِسٌ ثُمَّ أَذْكُرُ حُبِّي لَكُمْ وَ انْقِطَاعِي إِلَيْكُمْ
Then Ziyad lowered his head for a while, then said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Sometimes I am alone and the Satan-la comes to me and reminds me of what has been perpetrated from the sins and the acts of disobedience. It is as if I get despaired. Then I remember my love for you-asws and my cutting off (from others) to you-asws’.
قَالَ يَا زِيَادُ وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلَّا الْحُبُّ وَ الْبُغْضُ
He-asws said: ‘O Ziyad! And is the religion except the love and the hatred?’
ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَ آيَاتٍ كَأَنَّهَا فِي كَفِّهِ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمانَ وَ زَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ كَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوقَ وَ الْعِصْيانَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الرَّاشِدُونَ فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ نِعْمَةً وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
Then he-asws recited these three Verses, as if these were (written) in his-asws palm – But Allah Endeared the Eman to you and Adorned it in your hearts and Caused you to dislike the Kufr, and the transgression, and the disobedience. These are the ones who are Guided ones [49:7] Being a Grace from Allah and a Favour, and Allah is Knowing, Wise [49:8].
وَ قَالَ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ
And He-azwj Said: are loving the ones who emigrate to them, [59:9].
وَ قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ-
And Said: Say (O Rasool): ‘If you love Allah, then follow me. Allah will Love you and Forgive you your sins; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful’ [3:31].
أَتَى رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ الصَّوَّامِينَ وَ لَا أَصُومُ وَ أُحِبُّ الْمُصَلِّينَ وَ لَا أُصَلِّي وَ أُحِبُّ الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَ لَا أَصَّدَّقُ
A man came to Rasool-Allah-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I love the fasting ones, but I do not fast (myself), and I love the praying ones, but I do not pray (myself), and I love the charity givers, but I do not give charity (myself)’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ لَكَ مَا كَسَبْتَ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ لَوْ كَانَتْ فَزْعَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَزِعَ كُلُ قَوْمٍ إِلَى مَأْمَنِهِمْ وَ فَزِعْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ فَزِعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘You will be with the ones you love, and for you will be whatever you have earned. Are you not pleased that if there were to be a panic (event) from the sky, every people would panic to their secure places, and we-asws shall panic to Rasool-Allah-azwj, and you will panic to us-asws?’’[122]
115- ختص، الإختصاص عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَزْهَرُ نُورُهُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ كَمَا تَزْهَرُ نُجُومُ السَّمَاءِ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ
(The book) ‘Al-Ikhtisaas’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The Momin is such, his Noor (radiance) appears to people of the sky like what the stars appear to people of the earth!’
وَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فَيُعِينُهُ وَ يَنْصُرُهُ وَ يَصْنَعُ لَهُ وَ لَا يَقُولُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَ لَا يَخَافُ غَيْرَهُ
And he-asws said: ‘The Momin is a friend of Allah-azwj, so he assists Him-azwj, and helps Him-azwj, and works for Him-azwj, and does not say upon Him-azwj except the truth, and he does not fear anyone else’.
وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَأَعْظَمُ حَقّاً مِنَ الْكَعْبَةِ.
And he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The Momin is of mightier rights than the Kabahs’’.[123]
116- ختص، الإختصاص بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ وَ ما كُنْتَ بِجانِبِ الطُّورِ إِذْ نادَيْنا
(The book) ‘Al-Ikhtisaas’ – By his chain, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Urwah Bin Yahya, from Abu Saeed Al Madainy who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What is the meaning of Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in the Decisive of His-azwj Book: And you were not by the side of the (mount) Toor when We Called out, [28:46]?’
فَقَالَ ع كِتَابٌ لَنَا كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ فِي وَرَقٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلَائِقَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ صَيَّرَهُ مَعَهُ فِي عَرْشِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ عَرْشِهِ
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Saeed, a Letter to us-asws Allah-azwj had Written it in a leaf before He-azwj Created the creatures by two thousand years, Making it to be with Him-azwj in His-azwj Throne, or beneath His-azwj Throne.
فِيهِ يَا شِيعَةَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْأَلُونِي وَ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرُونِي مَنْ أَتَانِي مِنْكُمْ بِوَلَايَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَسْكَنْتُهُ جَنَّتِي بِرَحْمَتِي.
In it is, ‘O Shias of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! I-azwj shall Give you before you even ask Me-azwj and Forgive for you all before you even seek My-azwj Forgiveness. One from you whom come to Me-azwj having Wilayah of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, I-azwj shall Settle him in My-azwj Paradise due to My-azwj Mercy’’.[124]
117- صِفَاتُ الشِّيعَةِ، لِلصَّدُوقِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ لَهُ الدَّوَانِيقِيُّ بِالْحِيرَةِ أَيَّامَ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا بَالُ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ يَسْتَخْرِجُ مَا فِي جَوْفِهِ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ مَذْهَبُهُ
(The book) ‘Sifaat Al Shiah’ of Al-Sadouq, by his chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘(The caliph Mansour) Al-Dawaniqy said to him-asws at Al-Hira in the days of Abu Al-Abbas, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! What is the matter the man from your-asws Shias brings out what is in his chest in one gathering until his doctrine is recognised?’
فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ لِحَلَاوَةِ الْإِيمَانِ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ حَلَاوَتِهِ يُبْدُونَهُ تَبَدِّياً
He-asws said: ‘That is due to the sweetness of the Eman in their chests. From its sweetness is his manifesting it with an expression’’.[125]
118- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ
And from him, by his chain, from Muhammad Bin Imran, from his father,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One day, I-asws and my-asws father-asws went out to the Masjid, there, he-asws was with some people from his-asws companions between the grave (of Rasool-Allah-saww) and the pulpit’.
قَالَ فَدَنَا مِنْهُمْ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ فَأَعِينُونَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَلَايَتَنَا لَا تُنَالُ إِلَّا بِالْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ مَنِ ائْتَمَّ مِنْكُمْ بِقَوْمٍ فَلْيَعْمَلْ بِعَمَلِهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘He-asws went near them and greeted unto them and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws love your aromas and your souls, so assist us-asws upon them with piety and striving and know that our-asws Wilayah cannot be attained except with the piety and the striving. One from you who is led by a people, let him work (conduct) with their works (conducts).
أَنْتُمْ شِيعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمُ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ الْآخِرُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَى مَحَبَّتِنَا وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ضَمِنْتُ لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِضَمَانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ضَمَانِ النَّبِيِّ ص
You are Shias of Allah-azwj, and you are helpers of Allah-azwj, and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the latter ones, and the foremost in the world to love us-asws, and the foremost in the Hereafter to the Paradise. I-asws guarantee the Paradise to you all due to the Guarantee of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and guarantee of the Prophet-saww.
وَ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ حَوْرَاءُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ كَمْ مِنْ مَرَّةٍ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِقَنْبَرٍ أَبْشِرُوا وَ بَشِّرُوا فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ إِلَّا الشِّيعَةَ
And you are the good and your women are the good. Every Momina is a Hourie and every Momin is truthful. How many times Amir Al-Momineen-asws had said to Qanbar: ‘Receive glad tidings and rejoice for by Allah-azwj, Rasool-Allah-saww had died and he-saww was angry upon his‑saww community except for the Shias.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عُرْوَةً وَ عُرْوَةُ الدِّينِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَرَفاً وَ شَرَفُ الدِّينِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَيِّداً وَ سَيِّدُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَجَالِسُ الشِّيعَةِ
Indeed, and for everything there is a handhold, and a handhold of the religion are the Shias. Indeed, and for everything there is a nobility, and nobility of the religion are the Shias. Indeed, and for everything there is a chief, and chief of the gatherings are gatherings of the Shias.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِمَاماً وَ إِمَامُ الْأَرْضِ أَرْضٌ تَسْكُنُهَا الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهْوَةً وَ شَهْوَةُ الدُّنْيَا سُكْنَى شِيعَتِنَا فِيهَا
Indeed, and for everything there is a leader and leader of the earth is the land the Shias are dwelling in. Indeed, and for everything there is a desire, and desire of the world is for our-asws Shias to be dwelling in it.
وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا اسْتَكْمَلَ أَهْلُ خِلَافِكُمْ طَيِّبَاتٍ مَا لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فِيهَا نَصِيبٌ كُلُّ نَاصِبٍ وَ إِنْ تَعَبَّدَ وَ اجْتَهَدَ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ خاشِعَةٌ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً
By Allah-azwj! Had it not been for what (happens) in the earth from you all, the people opposing you will not complete good things for them as there is no share of them in the Hereafter. Every Nasibi (Hostile one), and even if he were to worship and strive, it attributed to this Verse: (Of the) toiling Nasibis (Hostile ones) [88:3] Arriving to a scorching Fire [88:4].
وَ مَنْ دَعَا مُخَالِفاً لَكُمْ فَإِجَابَةُ دُعَائِهِ لَكُمْ وَ مَنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اسْمُهُ حَاجَةً فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ سَأَلَ مِنْكُمْ مَسْأَلَةً فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ دَعَا دَعْوَةً فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ عَمِلَ حَسَنَةً فَلَا يُحْصَى تَضَاعُفاً وَ مَنْ أَسَاءَ سَيِّئَةً فَمُحَمَّدٌ ص حَجِيجُهُ عَلَى تَبِعَتِهَا
And one who supplicates against you, his supplication would be Answered for you, and the one from you who seeks a need to Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is His-azwj Name, for him would be a hundred, and the one from you who asks a question, for him would be a hundred, and one who supplicates a supplication for him would be a hundred, and the one does a good deed, its multiple cannot be counted, and one who commits an evil deed, so Muhammad-saww is His-azwj Divine Authority upon its consequences.
وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَائِمَكُمْ لَيَرْتَعُ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِالْفَوْزِ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ وَ إِنَّ حَاجَّكُمْ وَ مُعْتَمِرَكُمْ لَخَاصَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ جَمِيعاً لَأَهْلُ دَعْوَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلُ وَلَايَتِهِ
BY Allah-azwj! Your fasting one is nurtured in the Gardens of Paradise, the Angels are supplicating for him with the success until he breaks fast, and your pilgrims of Hajj and Umrah are special ones of Allah-azwj, and all of you are rightful of the Invitation of Allah-azwj and people of His-azwj Wilayah.
لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا حُزْنٌ كُلُّكُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي الصَّالِحَاتِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَحَدٌ أَقْرَبَ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ بَعْدَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا
There will neither be fear upon you nor grief, all of you will be in the Paradise, so compete regarding the righteous deeds. By Allah-azwj! No one is closer to the Throne of Allah-azwj, after us-asws, on the Day of Qiyamah than our-asws Shias will.
مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تُفْتَنُوا وَ يَشْمَتَ بِكُمْ عَدُوُّكُمْ وَ يُعَظِّمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ لَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُبُلًا
How excellent is the Dealing of Allah-azwj to them! Had it not been that you might be persecuted, and your enemies will be gloating with you and the people would venerate that, the Angels would have greeted unto you face to face.
قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَخْرُجُ أَهْلُ وَلَايَتِنَا مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَحْزَنُونَ.
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The people of our-asws Wilayah will be emerging from their grave, the people will fear, but they (Shias) will not be fearing, and the people will grieve and they will not be grieving’’.[126]
قَالَ وَ قَدْ حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ابْنُ الْوَلِيدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِلَّا أَنَّ حَدِيثَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهَذَا الطُّولِ وَ فِي هَذِهِ زِيَادَاتٌ لَيْسَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ الْمَعَانِي مُتَقَارِبَةٌ.
He said, ‘And this Hadeeth has been narrated to me by Ibn Al Waleed, by his chain, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, except that his Hadeeth did not happen to be with this length, and in this there are increases which aren’t in that, and the meaning are close to each other’’.[127]
119- مِشْكَاةُ الْأَنْوَارِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْهُ ع مِثْلَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ
(The book) ‘Mishkat Al-Anwaar’ – from Ali Bin Humran, from his father,
‘From him-asws, similar to it up to his-asws words: ‘How excellent is the Dealing of Allah-azwj to them’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَخْرُجُ أَهْلُ وَلَايَتِنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُشْرِقَةً وُجُوهُهُمْ قَرِيرَةً أَعْيُنُهُمْ قَدْ أُعْطُوا الْأَمَانَ مِمَّا يَخَافُ النَّاسُ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَحْزَنُونَ
Then he-asws said: ‘Ali-asws, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him-asws, said: ‘The people of our-asws Wilayah shall emerge on the Day of Qiyamah, their faces will be shining, their eyes delighted. They will have been Given the security from what the people fear, and the people will fear, and they will not be fearing, and the people will grieve, and they will not be grieving.
وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَشْعُرُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ قَدِ اكْتَنَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَدْعُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ
By Allah-azwj! One of you standing to the Salat is not even aware that the Angels are surrounding sending Salawaat upon him, and they are supplicating for him until he is free from his Salat.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ جَوْهَراً وَ إِنَّ جَوْهَرَ بَنِي آدَمَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص وَ نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا مَا أَقْرَبَهُمْ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ وَ أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
Indeed! And for all things there is an essence, and the essence of the children of Adam-as is Muhammad-saww, and us-asws and our-asws Shias. How close they are from the Throne of Allah‑azwj, and how excellent will be the Dealing of Allah-azwj to them on the Day of Qiyamah.
وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا زَهْوُهُمْ لِعِظَمِ ذَلِكَ لَسَلَّمَتْ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُبُلًا.
By Allah-azwj! Had it not been that would have made them proud, the Angels would have greeted them face to face’’.[128]
120- صِفَاتُ الشِّيعَةِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَسْجِدَ وَ نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ وَ فِينَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ وَ عُثْمَانُ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع نَاحِيَةً فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَانِبِ عَلِيٍّ ع-
(The book) ‘Sifaat Al Shia’ – By his chain from Aamir Al Juheyni who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww entered the Masjid and we were seated, and among us were Abu Bakr, and Umar, and Usman, and Ali-asws was in a corner. The Prophet-saww came and sat to the side of Ali-asws.
فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْعَرْشِ وَ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْعَرْشِ لَرِجَالًا عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ تَتَلَأْلَأُ وُجُوهُهُمْ نُوراً
He-saww went on to look right and left, then said: ‘On the right of the Throne and on the left of the Throne there will be men upon pulpits of light. Their faces will be shining with radiances (Noor)’.
قَالَ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Bakr stood up and he said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-asws, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Am I from them?’
قَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ
He-saww said to him: ‘Sit down!’
ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ
Then Umar stood up to him-saww. He said to him-asws similar to that. He-saww said to him: ‘Sit down!’
فَلَمَّا رَأَى ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَا قَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ ص قَامَ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى قَائِماً عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا نَعْرِفْهُمْ بِصِفَتِهِمْ
When Ibn Masoud saw what the Prophet-saww had said to them both, he stood up until he was standing upright upon his feet, then said: ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Describe them to us so we can recognise them with their descriptions’.
قَالَ فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِ عَلِيٍّ ع ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وَ شِيعَتُهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-saww tapped his-as hand upon a shoulder of Ali-asws, then said: ‘This one and his-asws Shias, they are the successful ones!’’[129]
121- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عِنْدَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَ مُيَسِّرٌ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ جُلَسَائِهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَخَذْتُ مَجْلِسِي أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا سَدِيرُ أَمَا إِنَّ وَلِيَّنَا لَيَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ نَائِماً وَ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً
And from him, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Abbad Bin Suleyman, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said,
‘I entered to see him-asws and in his-asws presence were Abu Baseer, and Muyassir, and a number of his-asws gatherers. When I had taken my seat, he-asws turned towards me-asws with his-asws face and said: ‘O Sadeyr! As for our-asws friend, let him worship standing, and sitting, and sleeping and alive and dead!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَمَّا عِبَادَتُهُ قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ حَيّاً فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَا فَكَيْفَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ نَائِماً وَ مَيِّتاً
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! As for worshipping Him-azwj standing, and sitting, and alive, so we have recognised it, but how can he worship Allah-azwj sleeping and dead?’
قَالَ إِنَّ وَلِيَّنَا لَيَضَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَرْقُدُ فَإِذَا كَانَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ وَكَّلَ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ خُلِقَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يَصْعَدَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ لَمْ يَرَيَا مَلَكُوتَهُمَا فَيُصَلِّيَانِ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَبِهَ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ صَلَاتِهِمَا لَهُ وَ الرَّكْعَةُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِمَا تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ
He-asws said: ‘Our-asws friend would place down his head for slumber. When it would be the time for Salat, two Angels would be allocated with him, having been Created from the earth. They will not ascend to the sky nor seeing their kingdoms. They pray Salat in his presence until he wakes up. So Allah-azwj Writes the Reward of their Salats to be for him, and the Cycles from their Salats equates to a thousand Salats from the Salats of the human being.
وَ إِنَّ وَلِيَّنَا لَيَقْبِضُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَصْعَدُ مَلَكَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولَانِ يَا رَبَّنَا عَبْدُكَ فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ انْقَطَعَ وَ اسْتَوْفَى أَجَلَهُ وَ لَأَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ مِنَّا بِذَلِكَ فَأْذَنْ لَنَا نَعْبُدْكَ فِي آفَاقِ سَمَائِكَ وَ أَطْرَافِ أَرْضِكَ
And our-asws friend, Allah-azwj Captures him (his soul) to Him-azwj, so his two Angels ascend to the sky and say, ‘O our Lord-azwj! Your-azwj servant so and so, son of so and so has been terminated and his term has been fulfilled, and You-azwj are more Knowing than we are with that, so Permit for us to worship You-azwj in the horizons of Your-azwj sky and the outskirts of the earth’.
قَالَ فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمَا إِنَّ فِي سَمَائِي لَمَنْ يَعْبُدُنِي وَ مَا لِي فِي عِبَادَتِهِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ بَلْ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَيْهَا وَ إِنَّ فِي أَرْضِي لَمَنْ يَعْبُدُنِي وَ مَا لِي فِي عِبَادَتِهِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَ مَا خَلَقْتُ خَلْقاً أَحْوَجَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ فَاهْبِطَا إِلَى قَبْرِ وَلِيِّي
Allah-azwj Revealed to them: “In My-azwj sky there is one worshipping Me-azwj and there is no need for Me-azwj regarding his worship, but he is more needy to it, and in My-azwj earth there is on worshipping Me-azwj, and there is no need for Me-azwj regarding his worship, and I-azwj have not Created any creature more needy to Me-azwj than him. So get down to the grave of My-azwj friend!”
فَيَقُولَانِ يَا رَبَّنَا مَنْ هَذَا يَسْعَدُ بِحُبِّكَ إِيَّاهُ
They said, ‘O our Lord-azwj! Who is this one fortunate with You-azwj Love to him?’’
قَالَ فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمَا ذَلِكَ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِي وَ وَصِيِّهِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ اهْبِطَا إِلَى قَبْرِ وَلِيِّي فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ فَصَلِّيَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى أَنْ أَبْعَثَهُ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Reveals to them: “That is the one I-azwj Taken his Covenant with My-azwj servant Muhammad-saww, and his-saww successor-asws, and their-asws offspring, with the Wilayah! Get down to the grave of My-azwj friend so and so, son of so and so, and pray Salat in his presence until I-azwj Resurrect him during the Qiyamah!”’
قَالَ فَيَهْبِطُ الْمَلَكَانِ فَيُصَلِّيَانِ عِنْدَ الْقَبْرِ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ اللَّهُ فَيَكْتُبُ ثَوَابَ صَلَاتِهِمَا لَهُ وَ الرَّكْعَةُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِمَا تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ
He-asws said: ‘So the two Angels come down and pray Salat by the grave until Allah-azwj will Resurrect him, and He-azwj Writes the Rewards of their Salat, to be for him, and the (one) Cycle of their Salat equates to a thousand Salats from the Salats of the human beings’.
قَالَ سَدِيرٌ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَإِذاً وَلِيُّكُمْ نَائِماً وَ مَيِّتاً أَعْبَدُ مِنْهُ حَيّاً وَ قَائِماً
Sadeyr said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! So them your-asws, while he is sleeping, and is dead, would be worshipping more than when alive and standing!’
قَالَ فَقَالَ هَيْهَاتَ يَا سَدِيرُ إِنَّ وَلِيَّنَا لَيُؤْمِنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُجِيزُ أَمَانَهُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Far be it, O Sadeyr! Our-azwj friend is trusting upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Qiyamah, so his security is allowed’’.[130]
122- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ يُؤْتَى بِأَقْوَامٍ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ تَتَلَأْلَأُ وُجُوهُهُمْ كَالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ
And from him, by his chain, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, they will come with some people upon pulpits of light. They faces will be shining like the moon on the night of the full moon. The former ones and the latter ones will envy them’.
ثُمَّ سَكَتَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ الْكَلَامَ ثَلَاثاً فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي هُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ
Then he-saww was silent. Then he-saww repeated the speech, thrice. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said, ‘May my father and my mother (be sacrificed for) you-saww! Are they the martyrs?’
قَالَ هُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ لَيْسَ هُمُ الشُّهَدَاءُ الَّذِينَ تَظُنُّونَ
He-saww said: ‘They will be the martyrs, but they aren’t the martyrs, the ones you are thinking of’.
قَالَ هُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ
He said, ‘Are they the Prophets-as?’
قَالَ هُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ لَيْسَ هُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ تَظُنُّونَ
He-saww said: ‘They are the Prophets-as, but they aren’t the Prophets-as, the ones you are thinking of’.
قَالَ هُمُ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ
He said, ‘Are they the successors-as?’
قَالَ هُمُ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ وَ لَيْسَ هُمُ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ الَّذِينَ تَظُنُّونَ
He-saww said: ‘They are the successors, but they aren’t the successors-as, the ones you are thinking of’.
قَالَ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ
He said, ‘Are they from the people of the sky or from people of the earth?’
قَالَ هُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ
He-saww said: ‘They are from people of the earth’.
قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَنْ هُمْ
He said, ‘So inform me who they are!’
قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ هَذَا وَ شِيعَتُهُ مَا يُبْغِضُهُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا سِفَاحِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا يَهُودِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَعِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا شَقِيٌّ يَا عُمَرُ كَذَبَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّنِي وَ يُبْغِضُ عَلِيّاً.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-saww gestured by his-saww hand towards Ali-asws. He-saww said: ‘This one and his-asws Shias! No one from Qureysh will hate him-asws except a foolish one, nor from the Helpers except a Jew, nor from the Arabs except an illegitimate, nor from rest of the people except a wretch. O Umar! He is lying, the one who claims that he loves me-saww while he hates Ali-asws!’’[131]
123- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ وَ عَامِرِ بْنِ السِّمْطِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَوْمٌ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ مِنْ نُورٍ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ نُورٌ يُعْرَفُونَ بِآثَارِ السُّجُودِ يَتَخَطَّوْنَ صَفّاً بَعْدَ صَفٍّ حَتَّى يَصِيرُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ الصَّالِحُونَ
And from him, by his chain from Muhammad Bin Qays and Aamir Bin Al Simt,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘On the Day of Qiyamah, some people will come, upon them will be clothes of light, upon their faces would be radiance (Noor). They will be recognised by the impacts of the Sajdahs. They will be cleaving the row after row until they come to be in front of Lord-azwj of the world. They will be the envy of the Prophets-as, and the Angels, and the martyrs, and the righteous’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أُولَئِكَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ إِمَامُهُمْ.
Then he-asws said: ‘They are our-asws Shias and Ali-asws is their Imam-asws’’.[132]
124- وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: يَا مَالِكُ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَ تُؤَدُّوا الزَّكَاةَ وَ تَكُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ
And from him, by his chain from Malik AL Juhanny,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘O Malik! Are you not pleased that you are standing for the Salat, and are giving the Zakat, and restraining your hands, and you will be entering the Paradise?’
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ ائْتَمُّوا بِإِمَامٍ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَلْعَنُهُمْ وَ يَلْعَنُونَهُ إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ وَ مَنْ كَانَ بِمِثْلِ حَالِكُمْ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Malik! There are none from a people who are led by an imam (leader) in the house of the world except he (the imam/leader) will come on the Day of Qiyamah cursing them, and they will be cursing him, except you (Shias) and the ones who would be with similar to your state’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ شَهِيدٌ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الضَّارِبِ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Malik! The one from you who dies upon this matter is a martyr at the status of the one striking with his sword in the Way of Allah-azwj!’
قَالَ وَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِسٌ وَ أَنَا أُحَدِّثُ نَفْسِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ شِيعَتُنَا لَا تَظُنَّنَّ أَنَّكَ مُفْرِطٌ فِي أَمْرِنَا
He (the narrator) said, ‘Malik said, ‘While I was seated in his-asws presence one day and I was discussing within myself with something from their-asws merits, he-asws said to me: ‘By Allah-azwj! You are our-asws Shias! Do not think that you are being excessive regarding our-asws matter.
يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّهُ لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَةِ اللَّهِ فَكَمَا لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَةِ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَةِ الرَّسُولِ ص وَ كَمَا لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَةِ الرَّسُولِ فَكَذَلِكَ لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَتِنَا وَ كَمَا لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَتِنَا فَكَذَلِكَ لَا يُقْدَرُ عَلَى صِفَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ
O Malik! Surely, one is not able upon describing Allah-azwj. So, just as one is not able upon describing Allah-azwj, like that one is not able upon describing the Rasool-saww; and just as one is not able upon describing the Rasool-saww, so like that, one is not able upon describing us-asws; and just as one is not able upon describing us-asws, so like that, one is not able upon describing the Momin.
يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَلْقَى أَخَاهُ فَيُصَافِحُهُ فَلَا يَزَالُ اللَّهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ الذُّنُوبُ تَتَحَاتُّ عَنْ وُجُوهِهِمَا حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَنْ يُقْدَرَ عَلَى صِفَةِ مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا
O Malik! The Momin tends to meet his brother (in religion), so he shakes his hand. Allah-azwj does not cease to Look at them (with Mercy), and the sins keep dropping off from their faces until they separate, and surely one will never be able upon describe one who is like this!’
وَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي ع كَانَ يَقُولُ لَنْ تَطْعَمَ النَّارُ مَنْ يَصِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ.
And he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws had said: ‘The Fire will never consume the one described to be upon this matter’’.[133]

‘While the Prophet-saww was at Arafaat and Ali-asws was facing him-saww, and we were with him‑saww, when the Prophet-saww gestured towards Ali-asws and he-saww said: ‘Come near me‑saww, O Ali-asws!’

He-asws went near him-saww. He-saww said: ‘Place your ‘Khams’ (meaning your-asws palm’, in my‑saww palm!’ He-saww held his-asws palm and said: ‘O Ali-asws! I-saww and you-asws have been Created from a tree. I-saww am its roots, and you are its branches, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are its twigs. The one who adheres with ones of its twigs, Allah-azwj will Enter him into the Paradise’’.[134]

فَذَكَرْتُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ أُدْخِلْتَ الْجَنَّةَ فَرُفِعْتَ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فَكَيْفَ لِي بِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ
You-saww had mentioned that when it will be the Day of Qiyamah and you-saww enter the Paradise, you-saww will be raised to the high Illiyeen. So how will it be for me with you-saww, O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj?’
فَنَزَلَ وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّسُولَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً
So it was Revealed: And the one who obeys Allah and the Rasool, so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]’.
فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ الرَّجُلَ فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ بَشَّرَهُ بِذَلِكَ.
The Prophet-saww called the man and recited it to him and gave him glad tidings of that’’.[136]

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The person will be with the one he loves’’.[137]

(The book) ‘Al-Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – By this chain from Ahmad Bin Rizq, from Yahya Bin Al A’ala,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Ali-asws entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww and he-saww was in the house of Umm Salama-ra. When he-saww saw him-asws, he-saww said: ‘How will you-asws be, O Ali-asws, when the communities are gathered, and the scales are set up and brought out for presentation of His-azwj creatures, and the people are called to what there is no escape from it?’

He (the narrator) said, ‘The eyes of Amir Al-Momineen-asws were tearful. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘What makes you-asws cry, O Ali-asws? By Allah-azwj! You-asws and your-asws Shias will be called as resplendent of faces, quenched to saturation, their faces will be bright while your-asws enemies as darkened of faces, wretched, tormented.
أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ إِلَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا أُولئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ عَدُوُّكَ يَا عَلِيُّ.
Have you-asws not heard the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7] – you-asws and your-asws Shias, and those who disbelieve in our-asws Signs, they are the worst of the Created beings [98:6] – your-asws enemies, O Ali-asws’’.[139]

He-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is ‘Tooba’?’
قَالَ شَجَرَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَوْ سَارَ الرَّاكِبُ الْجَوَادِ لَسَارَ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ عَامٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَهَا وَرَقُهَا بُرُودٌ خُضْرٌ وَ زَهْرُهَا رِيَاضٌ صُفْرٌ وَ أَقْنَاؤُهَا سُنْدُسٌ وَ إِسْتَبْرَقٌ وَ ثَمَرُهَا جلل [حُلَلٌ] خُضْرٌ وَ صَمْغُهَا زَنْجَبِيلٌ وَ عَسَلٌ وَ بَطْحَاؤُهَا يَاقُوتٌ أَحْمَرُ وَ زُمُرُّدٌ أَخْضَرُ وَ تُرَابُهَا مِسْكٌ وَ عَنْبَرٌ وَ حَشِيشُهَا زَعْفَرَانٌ يَنِيعٌ وَ أَلَنْجُوجٌ يَتَأَجَّجُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَقُودٍ وَ يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْ أَصْلِهَا السَّلْسَبِيلُ وَ الرَّحِيقُ وَ الْمَعِينُ
He-saww said: ‘A tree in the Paradise. If a horse rider were to travel in its shade, it will be a hundred years before he can cut across it. Its leaves are greenish, and its flowers are yellowish, and its clusters are silk and brocade, and its fruits are green ornaments, and its combination is of ginger and honey, and its scatterings is of red rubies and green emeralds, and its soil is musk and ambergris, and its grass is ripe saffron, and the incense wood burns from without fire being ignited, and (the springs) Al-Salsabeel, and Al-Raheeq, and Al-Maeen burst out from its roots.
فَظِلُّهَا مَجْلِسٌ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ شِيعَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَجْمَعُهُمْ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ يَوْماً فِي ظِلِّهَا يَتَحَدَّثُونَ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَقُودُونَ نُجُباً قَدْ جُبِلَتْ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ لَمْ يُنْفَخْ فِيهَا الرُّوحُ مَزْمُومَةً بِسَلَاسِلَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهَا الْمَصَابِيحُ نَضَارَةً وَ حُسْناً وَبَرُهَا حَشْوٌ أَحْمَرُ وَ مِرْعِزٌّ أَبْيَضُ مُخْتَلِطَانِ
It will shade gatherings from the gatherings of Shias of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws in their entirety. One day while they would be discussing in its shade when the Angels will come to them bringing rides of sapphire. The soul will not have been blown into these. Reined with chains of gold, as if their faces are lamps of bliss, and their fur is excellent, their padding is red, and their skins of mixed white.
لَمْ يَنْظُرِ النَّاظِرُونَ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا حُسْناً وَ بَهَاءً ذُلُلٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَهَانَةٍ نُجُبٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِيَاضَةٍ عَلَيْهَا رجال [رِحَالٌ] أَلْوَانُهَا مِنَ الدُّرِّ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ مُفَضَّضَةً بِاللُّؤْلُؤِ وَ الْمَرْجَانِ صَفَائِحُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْأَحْمَرِ مُلَبَّسَةً بِالْعَبْقَرِيِّ وَ الْأُرْجُوَانِ
The beholders would not have looked at any beauty like it, and glorious humiliation without disgrace, riding without exercise. Upon these would be luggage of colours of gems and rubies, silver coated with pearls, and the coral, its clearness is from red gold, clothed with ingenuity in purple.
فَأَنَاخُوا تِلْكَ النَّجَائِبَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالُوا لَهُمْ رَبُّكُمْ يُقْرِئُكُمُ السَّلَامَ فَتَزُورُونَهُ فَيَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ يُحْيِيكُمْ وَ يَزِيدُكُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ سَعَتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ ذُو رَحْمَةٍ وَاسِعَةٍ وَ فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ
Those rides will be knelt to them. Then they would say to them: ‘Your Lord-azwj Conveys the greetings to you all! So adorn it and He-azwj will Look at you and increase for you from His-azwj Grace and His-azwj Capaciousness, for He-azwj is with the capacious Mercy and Mighty Grace’.
قَالَ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ صَفّاً وَاحِداً مُعْتَدِلًا لَا يُفَوِّتُ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ شَيْئاً وَ لَا يُفَوِّتُ أُذُنُ نَاقَةٍ نَاقَتَهَا وَ لَا بَرَكَةُ نَاقَةٍ بَرَكَتَهَا وَ لَا يَمُرُّونَ بِشَجَرَةٍ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا أَتْحَفَتْهُمْ بِثِمَارِهَا وَ رَحَلَتْ لَهُمْ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِ كَرَاهِيَةٌ لِأَنْ تَنْثَلِمَ طَرِيقَتُهُمْ وَ أَنْ يُفَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَ رَفِيقِهِ
He-saww said: ‘Every man from them will transfer upon his ride and they will go in one row, straight. Nothing will be lost from them, nor will an ear of a camel lose its camel, nor will a camel be kneels, nor will they be passing by a tree from the trees of Paradise except it will gift them with its fruits and give way for them from its path unwillingly because their path cannot be interrupted, and there will be a separation between the man and his friend.
فَلَمَّا رُفِعُوا إِلَى الْجَبَّارِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلَامُ وَ لَكَ يَحِقُّ الْجَلَالُ وَ الْإِكْرَامُ
When there are raised to the Subduer, Blessed and Exalted, they will say, ‘Our Lord-azwj! You‑azwj are the Grantor of peace, and the peace is from You-azwj are rightful of the Majesty and the Honour!’
قَالَ فَقَالَ أَنَا السَّلَامُ وَ مِنِّي السَّلَامُ وَ لِي يَحِقُّ الْجَلَالُ وَ الْإِكْرَامُ فَمَرْحَباً بِعِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ حَفِظُوا وَصِيَّتِي فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ رَاعُوا حَقِّي وَ خَلَّفُونِي بِالْغَيْبِ وَ كَانُوا مِنِّي عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ مُشْفِقِينَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-azwj shall Say: “I-azwj am the Grantor of peace, and the peace is from Me-azwj, and for Me-azwj is the right of the Majesty and the Honour! Welcome to My-azwj servants, those who had preserved My-azwj Advice regarding People-asws of My-azwj Household, and they took care of My-azwj rights, and represented Me-azwj in the unseen, and they were compassionate from Me-azwj upon every situation!”
قَالُوا أَمَا وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ مَا قَدَرْنَاكَ حَقَّ قَدْرِكَ وَ مَا أَدَّيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كُلَّ حَقِّكَ فَأْذَنْ لَنَا بِالسُّجُودِ
They said, ‘But, by Your-azwj Mighty, and Your-azwj Majestic! We did not appreciate You-azwj as is the right of appreciation, and we did not fulfill to You-azwj all of Your-azwj rights, so Permit for us to perform Sajdah’.
قَالَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنِّي قَدْ وَضَعْتُ عَنْكُمْ مَئُونَةَ الْعِبَادَةِ وَ أَرَحْتُ لَكُمْ أَبْدَانَكُمْ فَطَالَمَا أَنْصَبْتُمْ لِيَ الْأَبْدَانَ وَ عَنِتُّمْ لِيَ الْوُجُوهَ فَالْآنَ أَفْضَيْتُمْ إِلَى رُوحِي وَ رَحْمَتِي فَاسْأَلُونِي مَا شِئْتُمْ وَ تَمَنَّوْا عَلَيَّ أُعْطِكُمْ أَمَانِيَّكُمْ
Their Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say to them: “I-azwj Set aside the provisions of worship away from you all and I-azwj have Rested your bodies for you. For long you had been toiling your bodies for Me-azwj and tires the faces for Me-azwj. So now, I-azwj shall Entertain you all to My-azwj Soul and My-azwj Mercy, so ask Me-azwj whatever you so Desire to, and wish to Me-azwj, I-azwj shall Grant your wishes.
وَ إِنِّي لَمْ أَجْزِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِأَعْمَالِكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ بِرَحْمَتِي وَ كَرَامَتِي وَ طَوْلِي وَ عَظِيمِ شَأْنِي وَ بِحُبِّكُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
And I-azwj will not Recompense you today due to your deeds, but due to My-azwj Mercy, and My-azwj Benevolence, and My-azwj Long-handedness, and Magnificence of My-azwj Glory, and due to your love for People-asws of the Household of Muhammad-saww!”
فَلَمْ يَزَالُوا يَا مِقْدَادُ مُحِبِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فِي الْعَطَايَا وَ الْمَوَاهِبِ حَتَّى إِنَّ الْمُقَصِّرَ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ لَيَتَمَنَّى فِي أُمْنِيَّتِهِ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ الدُّنْيَا مُنْذُ خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
O Miqdad-ra! The ones loving Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws will not cease to be in the awards and the gifts to the extent that reducer from his-asws Shias would wish in his wishing similar to entirety of the world, since Allah-azwj had Created it up to the Day of Qiyamah.
قَالَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَقَدْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فِي أَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَ رَضِيتُمْ بِدُونِ مَا يَحِقُّ لَكُمْ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى مَوَاهِبِ رَبِّكُمْ
Their Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted will Say to them: “You have been deficient in your wishes, and you are pleased with less than what is rightful for you, so look at the Gifts of your Lord-azwj!”
فَإِذَا بِقُبَابٍ وَ قُصُورٍ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الْأَحْمَرِ وَ الْأَخْضَرِ وَ الْأَبْيَضِ وَ الْأَصْفَرِ يَزْهَرُ نُورُهَا فَلَوْ لَا أَنَّهُ مُسَخَّرٌ مُسَخَّدٌ إِذاً لَلَمَعَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ مِنْهَا
And behold, there will be domes and castles in the high Illiyeen, of the rubies, the red, and the green, and the white and the yellow. Their light will be so apparent that had He-azwj not Subdued their shine, the sights would have been blinded from it.
فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقُصُورِ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ مَفْرُوشٌ بِالسُّنْدُسِ الْأَخْضَرِ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الْأَبْيَضِ فَهُوَ مَفْرُوشٌ بِالرِّيَاطِ الصُّفْرِ مَبْثُوثَةٌ بِالزَّبَرْجَدِ الْأَخْضَرِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَ الذَّهَبِ الْأَحْمَرِ قَوَاعِدُهَا وَ أَرْكَانُهَا مِنَ الْجَوْهَرِ يُنَوِّرُ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا وَ أَعْرَاضِهَا نُورٌ شُعَاعُ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَهُ مِثْلُ الْكَوْكَبِ الدُّرِّيِّ فِي النَّهَارِ الْمُضِيءِ
Whatever from those castles being from the rubies would be furnished with the green silk, and whatever from these are from white rubies would be furnished with the yellow ribbons, carpeted with the green emeralds, and the white silver, and the red gold. Its pillars are from jewels radiating from is doors, and its presentation is the light of the rays of the sun in the presence of the shining star illuminating at daytime.
وَ إِذَا عَلَى بَابِ كُلِّ قَصْرٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقُصُورِ جَنَّتَانِ مُدْهامَّتانِ فِيهِما مِنْ كُلِّ فاكِهَةٍ زَوْجانِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا الِانْصِرَافَ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ حُوِّلُوا عَلَى بَرَاذِينَ مِنْ نُورٍ بِأَيْدِي وِلْدَانٍ مُخَلَّدِينَ بِيَدِ كُلِّ وَلِيدٍ مِنْهُمْ حَكَمَةُ بِرْذَوْنٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْبَرَاذِينِ لُجُمُهَا وَ أَعِنَّتُهَا مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَ أَثْفَارُهَا مِنَ الْجَوَاهِرِ
And there, at the door of every castle from those castles are two gardens, Both being plush green [55:64] In both of them are pairs of every fruit [55:52]. When they intend to go to their houses, they will be transported upon horses of light by the hands of eternal young boys. In the hand of every boy will be a rein of a horse from those horses, entwined with white silver, and its harness is of jewels.
فَإِذَا دَخَلُوا مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَجَدُوا الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُهَنِّئُونَهُمْ بِكَرَامَةِ رَبِّهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَقَرَّ قَرَارَهُمْ قِيلَ لَهُمْ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا قالُوا نَعَمْ رَبَّنَا رَضِينَا فَارْضَ عَنَّا
When they enter their houses, they will find Angels congratulating them for the honours of their Lord-azwj until when they settle in their settlements, it shall be said to them: ‘Have you found what your Lord-azwj had Promised as being true?’ They will say, ‘Yes, our Lord-azwj has Pleased us, He-azwj is Pleased from us’.
قَالَ بِرِضَايَ عَنْكُمْ وَ بِحُبِّكُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّي حَلَلْتُمْ دَارِي
He-azwj shall Say: “Due to My-azwj be Pleased with you all, and due to your love for People-asws of the Household of My-azwj Prophet-saww! You are legalised of My-azwj House!”
وَ صَافَحْتُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَهَنِيئاً هَنِيئاً عَطاءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ تَنْغِيصٌ فَعِنْدَهَا قالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ الَّذِي أَحَلَّنا دارَ الْمُقامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها نَصَبٌ وَ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها لُغُوبٌ
And the Angels will shake their hands (saying): ‘Congratulations! Congratulations! a Gift without interruption [11:108]. There wouldn’t be any disturbance in it. And they shall say, ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Removed the grief from us. Surely our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative [35:34] Who Transferred us to the house of eternal settlement, from His Grace. Neither shall toil touch us therein nor shall fatigue touch us therein [35:35]’.
قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ النَّوْفَلِيُّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى قَالَ لَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مِهْرَانَ قَرَأْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ يَوْماً عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْحَدِيثِ فَقُلْتُ أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ عُهْدَةِ الْحَدِيثِ فَإِنَّ يُوسُفَ السَّرَّاجَ لَا أَعْرِفُهُ
Abu Muhammad Al-Nowfaly Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Musa said to us, ‘Isa Bin Mihran said to us, ‘One day I read this Hadeeth to a group of the companions of the Hadeeth. I said, ‘I absolve you all from the custody of the Hadeeth, for Yusuf Al-Saraj does not recognise it’.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَنَامِي كَأَنَّ إِنْسَاناً جَاءَنِي وَ مَعَهُ كِتَابٌ وَ فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ مِنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ حَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْقَزَّازِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْكِنْدِيِّ مِنْ تَحْتِ شَجَرَةِ طُوبَى وَ قَدْ أَنْجَزَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا مَا وَعَدَنَا فَاحْتَفِظْ بِمَا فِي يَدَيْكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تَقْرَأْ مِنْهَا كِتَاباً إِلَّا أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ.
When it was from the night, I saw in my dream as if there was a person who had come to me and with him was a letter, and in it was: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! From Mahmoud Bin Ibrahim and Hassan Bin Al-Husayn and Yahya Bin Al-Hassan and Ali Bin Al-Qasim Al-Kindy, from beneath the tree of Tooba, and our Lord-azwj has Fulfilled for us what He-azwj had Promised, with what is in your hand from this Verse, for you did not recite any letter from it except the Paradise had shone for it’’.[140]

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When you count what is upon the earth from the Shias of Ali-asws, you will not meet except one who is firewood for Hell, conferring upon your opponent’s due to your being in their neighbourhood.
وَ لَوْ لَا مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شِيعَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع مَا نَظَرْتَ إِلَى غَيْثٍ أَبَداً إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَيَخْرُجُ وَ مَا فِي صَحِيفَتِهِ حَسَنَةٌ فَيَمْلَؤُهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ حَسَنَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ يَمُرُّ بِالْمَجْلِسِ وَ هُمْ يَشْتِمُونَنَا فَيُقَالُ اسْكُتُوا هَذَا مِنَ الْفُلَانِيَّةِ فَإِذَا مَضَى عَنْهُمْ شَتَمُوهُ فِينَا.
Had it not been upon the from the Shias of Ali-asws, you would have never looked at the rains, ever! One of you will emerge and there will not be any good deeds in his register, so Allah-azwj will Fill it with good deeds for him before he leaves, and that is because he had passed by the gathering, and they were insulting us-asws. So they said, ‘Keep quiet! This one is from so and so!’ When he passes away from them, they insult him regarding us-asws’’.[141]
133- مِشْكَاةُ الْأَنْوَارِ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ شِيعَتِنَا مَثَلُ النَّحْلِ فِي الطَّيْرِ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَسْتَضْعِفُهَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّ الطَّيْرَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي أَجْوَافِهَا مِنَ الْبَرَكَةِ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ بِهَا ذَلِكَ.
(The book) ‘Mishkat Al-Anwaar’ – from Rabie Bin Najid who said,
‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘But rather, an example of our-asws Shias is an example of the bee among the birds. There isn’t anything from the birds except and it considers it weak, and if the bird were to know what Blessings there are in its interior (honey), they would not have done that with it’’.[142]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abu Al Hadeed said in the commentary of (the book) ‘Al Nahj (Al-Balagah)’, ‘It is reported by Ja’far Al Ahmad, from Muslim Al Awr, from Habbat Al Arny who said,
‘Ali-asws said: ‘One who loves me-asws will be with me-asws! As for you (others), even if you were to fast for life, all of it, and stand at night, all of it (for the Salat), then you were killed between (the hills) Al-Safa and Al-Marwa’ – or said: ‘Between the corner (of the Kabah) and the Standing place (of Ibrahim-as), Allah-azwj will not Resurrect you except with the one you love, reaching whatever it reaches. If in the Paradise, then in Paradise, and if in the Fire, then in the Fire’’.[143]
134- الْعِلَلُ، لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعِلَّةُ فِي شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّهُمْ مِنْهُمْ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ وَالَى قَوْماً فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ جِنْسِهِمْ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُمْ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ وَ قالَ أَوْلِياؤُهُمْ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ فَالْجِنُّ بِخِلَافِ الْإِنْسِ لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمَّا وَالَوْهُمْ نَسَبَهُمُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَنْ تَوَالَى آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَهُوَ مِنْهُمْ.
(The book) ‘Al-Ilal’ of Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim,
‘The reason regarding Shias of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww being from them-asws is that everyone who befriends a people, so he is from them, and even if he does not happen to be from their species, and that is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: “O community of the Jinn! You had (deluded) a lot of the humans!” And their friends from the humans would say, [6:128]. So the Jinn are different from the humans, but they, when they befriended them, Allah-azwj Attributed them to them. Like that is everyone who befriends Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, so he is from them’’.[144] (opinion)
135- وَ مِنْهُ، قَالَ: الْعِلَّةُ فِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ص هُمَا الْوَالِدَانِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَ لا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ بِالْوالِدَيْنِ إِحْساناً
And from him, said,
‘The reason regarding that Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws, they-ra are two fathers, is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and be good with the parents, [4:36].
قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع هُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘They are Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws’.
وَ الْعِلَّةُ فِي أَنَّ الشِّيعَةَ كُلَّهُمْ أَيْتَامٌ أَنَّ هَذَيْنِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ قَدْ قُبِضَا عَنْهُمْ وَ الْعِلَّةُ فِي اسْمِ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ فَطَمَ بِهَا شِيعَتَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ.
And the reason regarding that the Shias, all of them are orphans is that these two fathers-asws has passed away. And the reason regarding the name of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon her-asws, is that Allah-azwj shall remove (Fatam) by her-asws, our-asws Shias from the Fire’’.[145]

The Words of the Exalted: Those who are holding the Throne [40:7] – Meaning Rasool-Allah-saww and the successors-asws from after him-saww, are bearing the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and ones around -Meaning the Angels, are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord and are believing in Him and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe – Meaning the Shias of the Progeny‑asws of Muhammad-saww.
رَبَّنا وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تابُوا مِنْ وَلَايَةِ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا سَبِيلَكَ أَيْ وَلَايَةَ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ قِهِمْ عَذابَ الْجَحِيمِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ الْحَكِيمُ يَعْنِي مَنْ تَوَلَّى عَلِيّاً ع
‘O Lord! Your Mercy and Knowledge Extends to all things, therefore Forgive those who repent -from the wilayah of so and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and the clan of Umayya, and follow Your Way, i.e., the Wilayah of Ali-asws, the Guardian from Allah-azwj – and Save them from the Punishment of the Blazing Fire!’ [40:7] – up to His-azwj Words: the Wise [40:8].
فَذَلِكَ صَلَاحُهُمْ وَ قِهِمُ السَّيِّئاتِ وَ مَنْ تَقِ السَّيِّئاتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ يَعْنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ لِمَنْ نَجَّاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ يَعْنِي وَلَايَةَ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ.
So that is their righteousness, And Save them from evil deeds, and the one You Save from the evil deeds on this Day, so You have been Merciful to him, – meaning the Day of Qiyamah – and that, it is the mighty success [40:9] – for the one Grants salvation from them, meaning the wilayah of so and so, and so and so’’.[149]
140- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام صِراطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَيْ قُولُوا اهْدِنَا صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالتَّوْفِيقِ لِدِينِكَ وَ طَاعَتِكَ
Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – ‘The path of those You have Bestowed Bounties upon – i.e., they are saying, ‘Guide us to the path of those who have been Bestowed Bounties upon – with the inclination to Your-azwj Religion and Your-azwj obedience.
وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّسُولَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً وَ حُكِيَ هَذَا بِعَيْنِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع
And they are those (for whom) Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: And the one who obeys Allah and the Rasool, so they would be with those whom Allah has Bestowed Bounties upon, from the Prophets, and the truthful, and the martyrs, and the righteous, and they are good friends [4:69] – and He-azwj Related this exclusively about Amir-Al-Momineen-asws’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَيْسَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُنْعَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَالِ وَ صِحَّةِ الْبَدَنِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ كُلُّ هَذَا نِعْمَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ ظَاهِرَةً أَ لَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ يَكُونُونَ كُفَّاراً أَوْ فُسَّاقاً فَمَا نُدِبْتُمْ إِلَى أَنْ تَدْعُوا بِأَنْ تُرْشَدُوا إِلَى صِرَاطِهِمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he (Imam Hassan Al-Askari-asws) said: ‘It isn’t so that they have been Favoured upon with the wealth and the well-being of the body, and even though all of this is a Bounty from Allah-azwj apparently. Are you not seeing that these (Bounties) have happened to be (also) in the Kafirs and the immoral ones? Thus, you have not been called upon that you should be supplicating to be Guided to their path.
وَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ لِأَنْ تُرْشَدُوا إِلَى صِرَاطِ الَّذِينَ أُنْعِمَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَ تَصْدِيقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ بِالْوَلَايَةِ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ الْخَيِّرِينَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ وَ بِالتَّقِيَّةِ الْحَسَنَةِ الَّتِي يُسْلَمُ بِهَا مِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَ مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ فِي آثَامِ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ كُفْرِهِمْ بِأَنْ تُدَارِيَهُمْ
But rather, you have been Commanded with the supplication, because you are seeking Guidance to the path of those whom Allah-azwj has Favoured upon – with the Eman in Allah‑azwj and the ratification of His-azwj Rasool-saww and the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, and his-saww good companions, the Chosen ones, and with the excellent dissimulation which you can be safe with it, from the enemies of Allah-azwj, and from the excesses of the days (rule) of the enemies of Allah-azwj and their Kufr, that you have to put up with them.
وَ لَا تُغْرِيَهُمْ بِأَذَاكَ وَ أَذَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ بِالْمَعْرِفَةِ بِحُقُوقِ الْإِخْوَانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّهُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ وَ لَا أَمَةٍ وَالَى مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَادَى مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ إِلَّا كَانَ قَدِ اتَّخَذَ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ حِصْناً مَنِيعاً وَ جُنَّةً حَصِينَةً
Therefore, do not be lured by them with that and harm the Momineen, and the recognition of the rights of the brethren from the Momineen, for there is none from a servant or a maid who befriends Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and is inimical to their-asws enemies except he would have taken an impregnable fortress from the Punishment of Allah-azwj and a fortified shield.
وَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ وَ لَا أَمَةٍ دَارَى عِبَادَ اللَّهِ بِأَحْسَنِ الْمُدَارَاةِ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا فِي بَاطِلٍ وَ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ بِهَا مِنْ حَقٍّ إِلَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ نَفَسَهُ تَسْبِيحاً وَ زَكَّى عَمَلَهُ وَ أَعْطَاهُ بَصِيرَةً عَلَى كِتْمَانِ سِرِّنَا وَ احْتِمَالِ الْغَيْظِ لِمَا يَسْتَمِعُهُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا وَ أَعْطَاهُ ثَوَابَ الْمُتَشَحِّطِ بِدَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
And there is none from a servant nor a maid who is benevolent to the servants of Allah-azwj with excellent benevolence and does not enter by into a falsehood and does not exit by it from a right, except Allah-azwj the Exalted would Make his breaths as Glorifications (Tasbeeh), and Purify his deeds, and Grant him insight upon the concealment of our-asws secrets, and bearing the anger due to what he hears from our-asws enemies, and Rewards of the one rolling his blood in the Way of Allah-azwj.
وَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ أَخَذَ نَفْسَهُ بِحُقُوقِ إِخْوَانِهِ فَوَفَّاهُمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ جَهْدَهُ وَ أَعْطَاهُمْ مُمْكِنَهُ وَ رَضِيَ مِنْهُمْ بِعَفْوِهِمْ وَ تَرَكَ الِاسْتِقْصَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا يَكُونُ مِنْ زَلَلِهِمْ وَ غَفَرَهَا لَهُمْ إِلَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
And there is none from a servant who take himself to be with the rights of his brethren, so he fulfils their rights by his striving, and gives them his abilities and is pleased from them of their fulfilment, and leaves the investigating upon them, in what happens to be from their slips (mistakes), and he forgives these for them, except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Say to him on the Day of Qiyamah: –
يَا عَبْدِي قَضَيْتَ حُقُوقَ إِخْوَانِكَ وَ لَمْ تَسْتَقْصِ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنَا أَجْوَدُ وَ أَكْرَمُ وَ أَوْلَى بِمِثْلِ مَا فَعَلْتَهُ مِنَ الْمُسَامَحَةِ وَ التَّكَرُّمِ فَأَنَا أَقْضِيكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى حَقٍّ وَعَدْتُكَ وَ أَزِيدُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِيَ الْوَاسِعِ وَ لَا أَسْتَقْصِي عَلَيْكَ فِي تَقْصِيرِكَ فِي بَعْضِ حُقُوقِي
“O my servant! You fulfilled the rights of your brethren and did not investigate upon them with regards to what was for you upon them, so I-azwj am more Generous, and more Honourable, and Foremost with the likes of what you did from the forgiveness and the honouring. Therefore, I-azwj shall Fulfil for you today upon the rights of what I-azwj Promised you with, and I-azwj shall Increase you from My-azwj Extensive Grace, and I-azwj (also) will not Investigate upon you regarding your shortcomings of some of My-azwj Rights”’.
قَالَ فَيُلْحِقُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي خِيَارِ شِيعَتِهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘So he would be joined up with Muhammad-saww, and his-saww Progeny-asws, and his-saww companions, and (Allah-azwj will) Make him to be from the best of their-asws Shias’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَحِبَّ فِي اللَّهِ وَ أَبْغِضْ فِي اللَّهِ وَ وَالِ فِي اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُنَالُ وَلَايَةُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِذَلِكَ وَ لَا يَجِدُ الرَّجُلُ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ إِنْ كَثُرَتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَ صِيَامُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ كَذَلِكَ
Then he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to one of his companions one day: ‘O servant of Allah‑azwj! Love for the Sake of Allah-azwj and hate for the Sake of Allah-azwj and befriend for the Sake of Allah-azwj and be inimical for the Sake of Allah-azwj, for the Wilayah of Allah-azwj cannot be achieved except by that, and the man would not (be able to) find the taste of Eman – and even if his Salat(s) and his Fasts were numerous, until he happens to be like that.
وَ قَدْ صَارَتْ مُوَاخَاةُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَكُمْ هَذَا أَكْثَرُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْهَا يَتَوَادُّونَ وَ عَلَيْهَا يَتَبَاغَضُونَ وَ ذَلِكَ لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً
And (on the contrary) there has become brotherhood among the people in this day of yours, most of it is for the sake of the world. Upon it they are being cordial, and upon his they are hating each other, but that would not avail them anything from Allah-azwj’.
فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ لِي أَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي قَدْ وَالَيْتُ وَ عَادَيْتُ فِي اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أُوَالِيَهُ وَ مَنْ عَدُوُّهُ حَتَّى أُعَادِيَهُ
The man said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And how is it for me that I would know that I have befriended and been inimical for the Sake of Allah-azwj, and who is the friend of Allah-azwj until I befriend him, and who is the enemy of Allah-azwj until I am inimical to him?’
فَأَشَارَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ هَذَا قَالَ بَلَى هَذَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فَوَالِهِ وَ عَدُوُّ هَذَا عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ فَعَادِهِ وَالِ وَلِيَّ هَذَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلُ أَبِيكَ وَ وَلَدِكَ وَ عَادِ عَدُوَّ هَذَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ أَبُوكَ وَ وَلَدُكَ.
Rasool-Allah-azwj gestured for him towards Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-saww said: ‘Do you see this one?’. He said, ‘Yes’. He-saww said: ‘So a friend of this one-asws is a friend of Allah-azwj, therefore befriend him; and an enemy of this one-asws is an enemy of Allah-azwj, therefore be inimical to him; and befriend a friend of this one-asws even though he has killed your father and your son and be inimical to an enemy of this one-asws even though he is your father and your son’’.[150]
141- كا، الكافي عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ إِذَا هُوَ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَ اللَّهِ لَأُحِبُّ رِيَاحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ فَأَعِينُونِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَلَايَتَنَا لَا تُنَالُ إِلَّا بِالْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ مَنِ ائْتَمَّ مِنْكُمْ بِعَبْدٍ فَلْيَعْمَلْ بِعِلْمِهِ
(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam who said:
I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘I-asws and my-asws father-asws went out until we-asws arrived in between the Grave and the Pulpit (of the Rasool Allah-saww). There was a group of Shias over there, so I-asws greeted them, and then said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws love your aromas, and your spirits, so help me-asws upon that by being pious and striving. And know that our-asws Wilayah cannot be achieved except by piety and the striving, and the one from among you who follows a servant (an Imam-asws); he should do what he-asws does.
أَنْتُمْ شِيعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمُ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ الْآخِرُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَى مَحَبَّتِنَا وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
You are the Shias of Allah-azwj, and you are the Helpers of Allah-azwj, and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the later ones, and the foremost in the world, and the foremost in the Hereafter (and) to the Paradise.
قَدْ ضَمِنَّا لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِضَمَانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ضَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى دَرَجَةِ الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ أَرْوَاحاً مِنْكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي فَضَائِلِ الدَّرَجَاتِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ حَوْرَاءُ عَيْنَاءُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ
We-asws have taken your responsibility for the Paradise on the Guarantee of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the guarantee of the Rasool Allah-saww. By Allah-azwj! There are no Levels of the Paradise where there are more Spirits than yours, so compete for the higher Levels. You are the good ones, and your women are the good ones. Every Momina is a virgin Hourie and every Momin is a Truthful one.
وَ لَقَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِقَنْبَرٍ يَا قَنْبَرُ أَبْشِرْ وَ بَشِّرْ وَ اسْتَبْشِرْ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ سَاخِطٌ إِلَّا الشِّيعَةَ
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws has said to Qanbar: ‘Receive good news, rejoice with the good news, and convey the good news, for, by Allah-azwj, the Rasool Allah-saww passed away while he-saww was angry with his-saww community except for the Shias’.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِزّاً وَ عِزُّ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ دِعَامَةٌ وَ دِعَامَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ ذِرْوَةٌ وَ ذِرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ سَيِّداً وَ سَيِّدُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَجَالِسُ الشِّيعَةِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَرَفاً وَ شَرَفُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِمَاماً وَ إِمَامُ الْأَرْضِ أَرْضٌ تَسْكُنُهَا الشِّيعَةُ
Indeed! For everything there is an honour, and the honour of Al-Islam are the Shias. Indeed! For everything there is a pillar, and the pillar of Al-Islam are the Shias. Indeed! For everything there is a chief and the chief of the gatherings is the gathering of the Shias. Indeed! For everything is an Imam, and the Imam of the earth is the land on which the Shias live.
وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتَ بِعَيْنٍ عُشْباً أَبَداً وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ خِلَافِكُمْ وَ لَا أَصَابُوا الطَّيِّبَاتِ مَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيبٍ
By Allah-azwj! Had you all not been in the earth, an eye would have never ever see herbs. By Allah-azwj! Had you all not been in the earth, Allah-azwj would not have Favoured the people who oppose you nor would they have been in any goodness. They would have nothing for them in the world nor any share for them in the Hereafter.
كُلُّ نَاصِبٍ وَ إِنْ تَعَبَّدَ وَ اجْتَهَدَ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً فَكُلُّ نَاصِبٍ مُجْتَهِدٍ فَعَمَلُهُ هَبَاءٌ
Every hostile one (Nasibi), if he were to worship, and struggle, would be attributed to this Verse: Toiling, Hostile one [88:3] Entering into burning fire [88:3]. So every Hostile One (Nasibi) who struggles, his deeds would be floating dust (wasted).
شِيعَتُنَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ يُخَالِفُهُمْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِتَفَلُّتٍ- وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا يَنَامُ إِلَّا أَصْعَدَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رُوحَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيُبَارِكُ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْهَا أَجَلُهَا جَعَلَهَا فِي كُنُوزٍ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ فِي رِيَاضِ جَنَّتِهِ وَ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَجَلُهَا مُتَأَخِّراً بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ أَمَنَتِهِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لِيَرُدُّوهَا إِلَى الْجَسَدِ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ لِتَسْكُنَ فِيهِ
Our-asws Shias speak with the Light of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the one who are opposed to them speak by instinct (biological needs). By Allah-azwj! There is none from our-asws Shias who sleeps, except that Allah-azwj Makes his soul to ascend to the sky to be Blessed. So if its term (death) has come, He-azwj Makes it to be within the Treasures of His-azwj Mercy, and in the Gardens of Paradise, and in the Shade of His-azwj Throne. And if its term (death) has been delayed, He-azwj sends it back along with the trusted Angels to return it to the body from which it came out to dwell in it.
وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ حَاجَّكُمْ وَ عُمَّارَكُمْ لَخَاصَّةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَكُمْ لَأَهْلُ الْغِنَى وَ إِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَكُمْ لَأَهْلُ الْقَنَاعَةِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ لَأَهْلُ دَعْوَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ إِجَابَتِهِ.
By Allah-azwj those of you who perform the Hajj and the Umrah are the special ones of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. And the poor ones among you are the rich ones, and your rich ones are the contented ones. And all of you are the people whom He-azwj Invited and the people who accepted His-azwj Call’’.[151]
وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ جَوْهَراً وَ جَوْهَرُ وُلْدِ آدَمَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص وَ نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا بَعْدَنَا حَبَّذَا شِيعَتُنَا مَا أَقْرَبَهُمْ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا أَنْ يَتَعَاظَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ يَدْخُلَهُمْ زَهْوٌ لَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُبُلًا
And it is reported as well, from the number, from Sahl, from Ibn Shamoun, from Al Asamma, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws – similar to it, and there is an increase in it: ‘‘Indeed! And for everything is an essence and the essence of the children of Adam-as is Muhammad-saww, and us-asws, and our-asws Shias after us-asws. How lovely are our-asws Shias! What will be closer to the Throne of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic than them on the Day of Qiyamah. By Allah-azwj! Had the people not magnified that, or pride entered into them, the Angels would have greeted them face to face.
وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا يَتْلُو الْقُرْآنَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ قَائِماً إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ وَ لَا قَرَأَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ جَالِساً إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ خَمْسُونَ حَسَنَةً وَ لَا فِي غَيْرِ صَلَاةٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَ إِنَّ لِلصَّامِتِ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا لَأَجْرُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ مِمَّنْ خَالَفَهُ
By Allah-azwj! There is no servant from our-asws Shias who recites the Quran whilst standing in his Salat, except that there are a hundred Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor does he recite it seated in his Salat, except that there are a fifty Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor in other than Salat, except that there are ten Rewards for him for every letter of it. And the one from our-asws Shias who is silent, there is the Reward for him of the recitation of the Quran by the one who is opposed to him.
أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ نِيَامٌ لَكُمْ أَجْرُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ وَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ لَكُمْ أَجْرُ الصَّافِّينَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ
By Allah-azwj! You sleep upon your beds and there is the Reward for you of the Holy Warriors (Al-Mujahideen). By Allah-azwj! You are in your Salat, and there is for you the Reward of the being in the rows of His-azwj Way. By Allah-azwj!
أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ نَزَعْنا ما فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ إِخْواناً عَلى سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلِينَ
You are the ones for whom Allah-azwj has Said: “And We will root out whatever of rancour is in their breasts (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face” [15:47].
إِنَّمَا شِيعَتُنَا أَصْحَابُ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَعْيُنِ عَيْنَانِ فِي الرَّأْسِ وَ عَيْنَانِ فِي الْقَلْبِ أَلَا وَ الْخَلَائِقُ كُلُّهُمْ كَذَلِكَ أَلَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَتَحَ أَبْصَارَكُمْ وَ أَعْمى أَبْصارَهُمْ.
But rather, our-asws Shias are the people with four eyes – two eyes in the head and two eyes in the heart. Indeed! And all of the creatures are like that, except that Allah-azwj has Opened your eyes, and Blinded their eyes’’.[152]
باب 16 أن الشيعة هم أهل دين الله و هم على دين أنبيائه و هم على الحق و لا يغفر إلا لهم و لا يقبل إلا منهم
CHAPTER 16 – THE SHIAS, THEY ARE PEOPLE OF THE RELIGION OF ALLAH-azwj, AND THEY ARE UPON THE RELIGION OF HIS-azwj PROPHETS-as, AND THEY ARE UPON THE TRUTH, AND THERE IS NOT FORGIVENESS EXCEPT FOR THEM, NOR IS THERE ANY ACCEPTANCE EXCEPT FROM THEM

And it is said, ‘It is being in charge of helping what Allah-azwj had Commanded with, from the religion’.

Then he-asws recited this Verse and said: ‘A friend of Muhammad-saww is the one who obeys Allah-azwj, and even if his flesh (kinship) was remote, and an enemy of Muhammad-saww is the one who disobeys Allah-azwj, and even if his relationship was near’.
ثم روى رواية علي بن إبراهيم الآتية. فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي خصه أكثر المفسرين بذريته و ظاهر الأخبار أنه أعم منهم.
Then he reported the following report of Ali Bin Ibrahim – So the one who follows me, then he is from me, [14:36], ‘Most of the interpreters have particularised it with his-as offspring, and the apparent of the Ahadeeth is that it is the generality from them’.

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi –
From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding Words of the Exalted: Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37]. But surely, he (Ibrahim-as) did not mean the people, all of them. You (Shias) are they, and your match. But rather, your example among the people is an example of the white hair in the black bull, or an example of the black hair in the white bull. It is befitting for the people that they perform Hajj of this House (Kabah) and revere it due to the reverence of Allah-azwj for it, and they should meet us-asws wherever we-asws may be. We are the pointers (guides) to Allah-azwj’’.[161]

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Our-asws father-as Ibrahim-as, it was from what condition he-as had stipulated unto his-as Lord-azwj. He-as said: Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37]’’.[162]

And in another report from him, said,
‘We were approximately fifty men in the tent with Abu Ja’far-asws. He-asws sat down after silence from us was long. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you all not speaking! Perhaps you are viewing that I-asws am a Prophet-saww? No, by Allah-saww! I-asws am not like that, but there is a close kinship for me-asws from Rasool-Allah-saww and birth. One who connects (with it), Allah-azwj would Connect (with) him, and one who loves it, Allah-azwj would Love him, and the one who honours it, Allah-azwj would Honour him.
أَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةً
Are you knowing which spot is the most superior with Allah-azwj of status?’
فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ فَكَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ تِلْكَ مَكَّةُ الْحَرَامُ الَّتِي رَضِيَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ حَرَماً وَ جَعَلَ بَيْتَهُ فِيهَا
No one spoke, so he-asws responded unto himself-asws. He-asws said: ‘That is the Sacred Makkah which He-azwj has Chosen for Himself-azwj as a Sanctuary and Made His-azwj House to be in it!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي أَيُّ بُقْعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ
Then he-asws said: ‘Are you knowing which spot is more superior to Makkah?’
فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ وَ كَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنَ حَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ إِلَى بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ ذَلِكَ حَطِيمُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نَفْسِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُزَوِّدُ فِيهِ غَنَمَهُ وَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ
No one spoke, so he-asws responded to himself-asws. He-asws said: ‘What is between the Black Stone up to the door of the Kabah. That is the debris (stones/standing place) of Ibrahim-as himself-as. He-as used to provide his-as sheep (food) in it and pray Salat in it.
فَوَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً صَفَّ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ قَامَ النَّهَارَ مُصَلِّياً حَتَّى يَجُنَّهُ اللَّيْلُ وَ قَامَ اللَّيْلَ مُصَلِّياً حَتَّى يَجُنَّهُ النَّهَارُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ لَنَا حَقَّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ حُرْمَتَنَا لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً أَبَداً
By Allah-azwj! Even if a servant were to row his feet in that place, standing at daytime praying Salat until the night covers him, and he stands at night praying Salat until the day covers him, then he does not recognise our-asws rights for us-asws, People-asws of the Household and our-asws sanctity, Allah-azwj will not Accept anything from him, ever!’
إِنَّ أَبَانَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ عَلَى رَبِّهِ أَنْ قَالَ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلِ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أُولَئِكَ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ نُظَرَاؤُكُمْ
Our-asws father-as Ibrahim-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-as, it was among the conditions what he-as stipulated unto his-as Lord-azwj, he-as had said: Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37]. But he did not say the people, all of them. You (Shias) and they may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you all, and your match (peers).
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ فِي النَّاسِ مَثَلُ الشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَوِ الشَّعْرَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَبْيَضِ يَنْبَغِي لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَحُجُّوا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ وَ أَنْ يُعَظِّمُوهُ لِتَعْظِيمِ اللَّهِ إِيَّاهُ وَ أَنْ يَلْقَوْنَا أَيْنَمَا كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْأَدِلَّاءُ عَلَى اللَّهِ.
But rather, your example among the people is an example of the white hair in the black bull, or the black hair in the white bull. It is befitting for the people that they perform Hajj of this House (Kabah), and they should revere it due to the reverence of Allah-azwj of it, and they should meet us-asws, wherever we-asws may be. We-asws are the pointers (guides) to Allah‑azwj’’.[163]
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ أَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ بُقْعَةٍ أَعْظَمُ حُرْمَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ وَ كَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْمَقَامِ إِلَى بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ ذَلِكَ حَطِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَذُودُ فِيهِ غُنَيْمَتَهُ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ.
And in another Hadeeth: ‘Are you knowing which spot is of the mightiest sanctity in the Presence of Allah-azwj?’ No one spoke, and it was him-asws, the responder to himself-asws. He-asws said: ‘That is what is between the Black (Stone) corner and the standing place (of Ibrahim-as) up to the door of the Kabah. That is a debris of Ismail-as which he-as used to provide his-as sheep (food) in it’ – then he mentioned the Hadeeth’’.[164]

And it is reported from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘There is no one more beloved to Him‑azwj. The praise is from Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, and the Path of the Praised One, it is the path of Al-Islam and path of the Paradise’ – end’’.[187]

(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Safwan Al Jammal,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj: All things will perish except for His Face. [28:88]. He-asws said: ‘The one who comes to Allah-azwj with what He-azwj had Commanded with, from obeying Him-azwj and obeying Muhammad-saww, so it is the face which will not perish, and for that (reason), one who obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah, [4:80]’’.[188]

He-asws said: ‘Welcome to you both, and hello!’

If you were to live until you see what you are extending your necks to (Al-Qaim-asws, Allah-azwj shall Heal your chests and Remove the rage of your hearts and Turn you against your enemies, and it is the Word of Allah-azwj, And he would Remove the rage of their hearts; [9:15].

فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا هُمْ سَمَّوْكُمُوهُ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمَّاكُمْ بِهِ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُوسَى وَ لِسَانِ عِيسَى ع
He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! It is not they who are naming you, but Allah-azwj has Named you (Shias) with it in the Torah and the Evangel, upon the tongue of Musa-as and upon the tongue of Isa-as!
وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِ فِرْعَوْنَ رَفَضُوا فِرْعَوْنَ وَ دَخَلُوا فِي دِينِ مُوسَى فَسَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الرَّافِضَةَ وَ أَوْحَى إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَثْبِتْ لَهُمْ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ حَتَّى يَمْلِكُوهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
And that is because seventy men from the people of Pharaoh-la rejected Pharaoh-la and entered into the religion of Musa-as, so Allah-azwj Named them as ‘Al-Rafiza’ (the rejectors) and Revealed to Musa-as: ‘I-azwj am Affirming it for them in the Torah until they own it upon the tongue of Muhammad-saww!”
فَفَرَّقَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِرَقاً كَثِيرَةً وَ تَشَعَّبُوا شُعَباً كَثِيرَةً فَرَفَضُوا الْخَيْرَ فَرَفَضْتُمُ الشَّرَّ وَ اسْتَقَمْتُمْ مَعَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ع فَذَهَبْتُمْ حَيْثُ ذَهَبَ نَبِيُّكُمْ وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ مَنِ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
Allah-azwj Divided them into many sects and they branched out into many branches. They rejected the good and you are rejecting the evil, and you are standing with People-asws of the Household of your Prophet-saww, so you are going where your Prophet-saww went, and you are choosing the ones-asws Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww had chosen.
فَأَبْشِرُوا ثُمَّ أَبْشِرُوا فَأَنْتُمُ الْمَرْحُومُونَ الْمُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ وَ الْمُتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَلْقَ اللَّهَ بِمِثْلِ مَا لَقِيتُمْ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ حَسَنَاتُهُ وَ لَمْ يُتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
So receive glad tidings! The, receive glad tidings, for you are the Mercied ones, the ones Accepted of their good deeds, and the ones overlooked from their evil deeds, and the one who does not meet Allah-azwj with the likes of what you shall be meeting, his good deeds will not be Accepted, and his evil deeds will not be overlooked. O Suleyman! Have I cheered you?’
فَقُلْتُ زِدْنِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
I said, ‘Increase for me, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَائِكَةً يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَكُمْ حَتَّى تَتَسَاقَطَ ذُنُوبُكُمْ كَمَا تَتَسَاقَطُ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ … وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا هُمْ شِيعَتُنَا وَ هِيَ وَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘For Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, there are Angels seeking Forgiveness for you all until your sins fall off just as the leaves of the tree fall off during a windy day, and that is the Word of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Those who are holding the Throne and ones around it are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord – up to His-azwj Words: and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe, [40:7]. They are our-asws Shias, and by Allah-azwj, it is for them. O Suleyman! Have I-asws cheered you?’
فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Increase for me’.
قَالَ مَا عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع إِلَّا نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ سَائِرُ النَّاسِ مِنْهَا بَرِيءٌ.
He-asws said: ‘There is no one upon the religion of Ibrahim-as except us-asws and our-asws Shias, and rest of the people are disavowed from it’’.[200]
