1- لي، الأمالي للصدوق ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مَرَّةً صُرِفَ عَنْهُ أَلْفُ مَكْرُوهٍ مِنْ مَكْرُوهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَلْفُ مَكْرُوهٍ مِنْ مَكْرُوهِ الْآخِرَةِ أَيْسَرُ مَكْرُوهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَقْرُ وَ أَيْسَرُ مَكْرُوهِ الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابُ الْقَبْرِ.
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ibn Idrees, from his father, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ja’far Al Azdy, from Ibn Abu Al Miqdam,
‘From Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘One who reads Ayat Al Kursi once, a thousand abhorrence’s from abhorrence’s of the world will be Turned away from him and a thousand abhorrence’s from abhorrence’s of the Hereafter- the least abhorrence of the world being poverty, and least abhorrence of the Hereafter being punishment of the grave’’.[1]
2- لي، الأمالي للصدوق ابْنُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنِ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: سَمِعَ بَعْضُ آبَائِي ع رَجُلًا يَقْرَأُ أُمَّ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَالَ شَكَرَ وَ أُجِرَ
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ibn Musa, from Al Asady, from Al Nakhaie, from Al Nowfaly,
‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One of my-asws forefathers-asws heard a man reciting Mother of the Quran (Surah Al Fatiha). He-asws said: ‘He is thankful and will be Rewarded’.
ثُمَّ سَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ آمَنَ وَ أَمِنَ
Then he-asws heard him recite Surah Al Tawheed. He-asws said: ‘He believes and is safe’.
ثُمَّ سَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ صَدَّقَ وَ غُفِرَ لَهُ
Then he-asws heard him-asws reciting Surah Al Qadr. He-asws said: ‘He speaks the truth and (sins) will be Forgiven for him’.
ثُمَّ سَمِعَهُ يَقْرَأُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَقَالَ بَخْ بَخْ نَزَلَتْ بَرَاءَةُ هَذَا مِنَ النَّارِ.
Then he-asws heard him reciting Ayat Al Kursi. He-asws said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations! The freedom from the Hellfire for this one has been descended!’’[2]
3- مع، معاني الأخبار ل، الخصال فِي وَصِيَّةِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ص- أَيُّ آيَةٍ أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ أَعْظَمُ
(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’, (and) ‘Al Ikhlaas’ –
‘Among advice to Abu Zarr-ra, he-ra has asked the Prophet-saww, ‘Which of the Verses Allah-azwj has Revealed upon you-saww is the mightiest?’
قَالَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِ.
He-saww said: ‘Ayat Al-Kursi’’.[3]
4- ل، الخصال الْأَرْبَعُمِائَةٍ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا اشْتَكَى أَحَدُكُمْ عَيْنَهُ فَلْيَقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ لْيُضْمِرْ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهَا تَبْرَأُ فَإِنَّهُ يُعَافَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ –
‘The four hundred (Ahadeeth), Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you complains of his eye, let him recite Ayat Al Kursi, and let him think within himself it will be cured, it will be cured if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[4]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ مِثْلَهَا إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ مِثْلَهَا آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مَنَعَ مَالَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ.
And he-asws said: ‘One who reads Surah Al Tawheed eleven times before emergence of the sun, and similar to it Surah Al Qadr, and similar to it Ayat Al Kursi, will protect his wealth from what he fears’’.[5]
وَ قَالَ ع لِيَقْرَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا قَضَاءَ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
And he-asws said: ‘Let one of you, when he goes out from his house, recite the Verses from Surah Aal-e-Imran, and Ayat Al Kursi, and Surah Al Qadr, and Mother of the Book, for in it is fulfilment of needs of the world and the Hereafter’’.[6]
5- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام بِإِسْنَادِ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ كَمَنْ عَبَدَ اللَّهَ طُولَ حَيَاتِهِ.
(The book) ‘Uyoun Akhbar Al-Reza-asws’, may the greeting be upon him-asws, by a chain of Al Tameemi, from Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who reads Ayat Al Kursi one hundred times would be like the one who worships Allah‑azwj the length of his life’’.[7]
أَقُولُ قَدْ مَضَى فِي بَابِ الْفَاتِحَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لَكَ وَ لِأُمَّتِكَ كَنْزاً مِنْ كُنُوزِ عَرْشِي فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ خَاتِمَةَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَ مَضَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً الِاسْتِشْفَاءُ بِآيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ لِلْعَيْنِ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It has passed in the chapter ‘Al Fatiha’, from the Prophet-saww, Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “I-azwj shall Give for you-saww and for your-saww community, a treasure from treasures of My-azwj Throne, Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and ending of Surah Al Baqarah!” – and it has passed in it as well seeking the healing with Ayat Al Kursi for the (evil) eye’’.[8]
6- فس، تفسير القمي أَبِي عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ أَيْ نُعَاسٌ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ
Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid,
‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws recited: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep;– i.e., drowsiness – for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth [2:255].
وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما وَ ما تَحْتَ الثَّرى
For Him is whatever is in the skies, and whatever is in the earth, and whatever is in between the two, and whatever is beneath the soil [20:6]
عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ
He is Allah. There is no god except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22]
مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ ما خَلْفَهُمْ قَالَ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأُمُورُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ مَا كَانَ وَ ما خَلْفَهُمْ أَيْ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ
Who is that who can intercede in His Presence except by His Permission? He Knows what is in front of them and what is behind them [2:255]. He-asws said: ‘what is in front of them, are affairs of the Prophets and what has happened, and what is behind them [2:255], i.e., what has not happened yet.
قَوْلُهُ إِلَّا بِما شاءَ أَيْ بِمَا يُوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما أَيْ لَا يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْهِ حِفْظُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
His-azwj Words: except with whatever He so Desires; [2:255], i.e., with what He-azwj Reveals to them, and their preservation does not tire Him; [2:255], i.e., it is not heavy upon Him-azwj preservation of whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth.
قَوْلُهُ لا إِكْراهَ فِي الدِّينِ أَيْ لَا يُكْرَهُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى دِينِهِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ غَصَبُوا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ
His-azwj Words: There is no compulsion in the Religion – no one can be coerced upon his religion except after it has been clarified to him – the right way has been clarified from the error. Therefore, the one who disbelieves in the tyrant and believes in Allah, [2:256], and they (tyrants) are those that usurped the Progeny-asws of Muhammad of their-asws rights.
قَوْلُهُ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقى يَعْنِي الْوَلَايَةَ لَا انْفِصامَ لَها أَيْ حَبْلٌ لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهُ
His-azwj Words: so he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold, – meaning the Wilayah – there would be no breaking for it; [2:256] – i.e., a rope not having any termination for him.
اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَعْنِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع- يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْلِياؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ تَبِعُوا مَنْ غَصَبَهُمْ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُماتِ أُولئِكَ أَصْحابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيها خالِدُونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَذَا نَزَلَتْ.
Allah is the Guardian of those who believe – meaning Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws – He Extracts them from the (multitude of) darkness into the Light; and (as for) those who are committing Kufr – and they are oppressors of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww – their guardian is the tyrant – and they are those who follow the ones who usurped them-asws – who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness; these are the inmates of the Fire; they would be in it eternally [2:257] – And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds, that is how it was Revealed’’.[9]
7- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ سَابُورَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ صُدِّيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يَقُولُ مَا أَرَى رَجُلًا أَدْرَكَ عَقْلُهُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ دَلَّهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَةَ سَوَادِهَا
(The book) ‘Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Abdullah Bin Abu Sufyan, from Ibrahim Bin Amro, from Muhammad Bin Shueyb Bin Sabour, from Usman Bin Abu Al Aatika, from Ali Bin Yazeed, from Al Qasim Bin Abdul Rahman Bin Suday, from Abu Umama Al Bahily,
‘He heard Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, saying: ‘I-asws have not seen any man, his intellect has realised Al-Islam and guided him in Al-Islam, staying awake in darkness of night’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا سَوَادُهَا يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ
I said, ‘And what is its darkness, O Abu Umama?’
قَالَ جَمِيعُهَا حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ فَقَرَأَ الْآيَةَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا هِيَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا فِيهَا لَمَا تَرَكْتُمُوهَا عَلَى حَالٍ
He said, ‘Entirety of it, until he-asws recited this Verse: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; [2:255]. He-asws read the Verse up to His-azwj Words: and their preservation does not tire Him; and He is the Exalted, the Magnificent [2:255]. Then he-asws said: ‘If only you knew what it is!’ Or said: ‘What is in it, you would not neglect it upon any situation.
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ أُعْطِيْتُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ كَنْزٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَمْ يُؤْتَهَا نَبِيٌّ كَانَ قَبْلِي
Rasool-Allah-saww informed me. He-saww said: ‘I-saww have been Given Ayat Al Kursi from treasure beneath the Throne and no Prophet-saww who was before me-saww has been Given it’.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً قَطُّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أَقْرَأَهَا
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws have not spent any night at all since I-asws heard it from Rasool-Allah-saww, until I-asws had recited it’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ إِنِّي أَقْرَأُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَحَايِينَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ
Then he-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Umama! I-asws tend to recite it three times in three times every night’.
فَقُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي قِرَاءَتِكَ لَهَا يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ-
I said, ‘And how do you do so in your-asws reciting of it, O son-asws of uncle-as of Muhammad-saww?’
قَالَ أَقْرَأُهَا قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ع حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws read it before the two Cycles of Salat after Al-Isha Salat. By Allah-azwj! I-asws have not neglected it since I-asws heard this Hadeeth from your Prophet-saww until I-asws have (now) inform you with it!’
قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ وَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع- حَتَّى حَدَّثْتُكَ أَوْ قَالَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ
Abu Umama said, ‘And, by Allah-azwj, I have not neglected reciting it since I heard this Hadeeth from Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, until I have (now) narrated to you!’ Or said, ‘I have informed you with it’.
قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بِفَضْلِهَا حَتَّى الْآنَ
Al-Qasim said, ‘And I have not neglected reciting it every night since Abu Umama had narrated to me of its merits, until now!’
قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَ أُخْبِرُكَ أَنِّي مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ فِي فَضْلِهَا
Ali Bin Zayd said, ‘And I am informing you, I have not neglected reciting it every night since Al-Qasim had narrated to me regarding its merits’.
قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ فَمَا تَرَكْتُهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا مَا بَلَغَنِي
Ibn Abu Al-Aatika said, ‘I have not neglected it during every night since merits of its recitation reached me, what reached me’.
قَالَ ابْنُ سَابُورَ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَوْلُهُ فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا
Ibn Sabour said, ‘And I have not neglected reciting it during every night since it reached me from Rasool-Allah-saww, his-saww words regarding its recitation’.
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ بَكْرٍ وَ أَنَا فَمَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Abu Muhammad Abdullah Bin Abu Sufyan said, ‘And I, I have not neglected its recitation since I wrote this Hadeeth from Rasool-Allah-saww regarding merits of its recitation’.
قَالَ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ وَ أَنَا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّي مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص حَتَّى حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِهِ.

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Two brothers of Rasool-Allah-saww came. They said, ‘We are intending (to go to) Syria for trading, so teach us what we should be saying’.
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا آوَيْتُمَا إِلَى الْمَنْزِلِ فَصَلِّيَا الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِذَا وَضَعَ أَحَدُكُمَا جَنْبَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيُسَبِّحْ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع ثُمَّ لْيَقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ مَحْفُوظٌ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ
He-saww said: ‘Yes. When you shelter to the house, pray Al-Isha the last Salat. When one of you places his side upon his bed after the Salat, let him glorify glorification (Tasbeeh) of Fatima-asws, then let him read Ayat Al Kursi, for he will be protected from all things until morning’.
وَ إِنَّ لُصُوصاً تَبِعُوهُمَا حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلُوا بَعَثُوا غُلَاماً لِيَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ حَالُهُمَا نَامَا أَمْ مُسْتَيْقِظَيْنِ فَانْتَهَى الْغُلَامُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ قَدْ وَضَعَ أَحَدُهُمَا جَنْبَهُ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ وَ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع
And thieves pursued them until when they had descended, they sent a boy to look at what their situation was, whether they were sleeping or awake. The boy ended to them, and one of them had placed his side upon his bed, and he read Ayat Al Kursi and glorified with Glorification of (Syeda) Fatima-asws’.
قَالَ فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِمَا حَائِطَانِ مَبْنِيَّانِ فَجَاءَ الْغُلَامُ فَطَافَ بِهِمَا فَكُلَّمَا دَارَ لَمْ يَرَ إِلَّا الْحَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ
He-asws said: ‘Behold, there were two invincible walls upon them. The boy came and circled around them. Every time he circled, he did not see except the two walls, so he returned to his companions. He said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj! I have not seen except two invincible walls!’
فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ كَذَبْتَ بَلْ ضَعُفْتَ وَ جَبُنْتَ
They said to him, ‘May Allah-azwj Disgrace you! You are lying, but you were weak and a coward!’
فَقَامُوا وَ نَظَرُوا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ فَدَارُوا بِالْحَائِطَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَ لَمْ يَرَوْا إِنْسَاناً فَانْصَرَفُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ جَاءُوا إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا أَيْنَ كُنْتُمْ
They stood up and looked. They did not find except two walls. They went around the walls but did not hear and did not see any person. They left to go to their homes. When it was morning, they came to them. They said, ‘Where were you (last night)?’
فَقَالُوا مَا كُنَّا إِلَّا هُنَا وَ مَا بَرَحْنَا
They said, ‘We were not except over here, and we did not depart!’
فَقَالُوا وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ جِئْنَا وَ مَا رَأَيْنَا إِلَّا حَائِطَيْنِ مَبْنِيَّيْنِ فَحَدِّثُونَا مَا قِصَّتُكُمْ
They said, ‘By Allah-azwj! We had come and we did not see except two invincible walls!’ They narrated what their story was.
قَالُوا إِنَّا أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَسَأَلْنَاهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنَا فَعَلَّمَنَا آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ ع فَقُلْنَا
They said, ‘We had gone to Rasool-Allah-saww and asked him-saww to teach us. He-saww taught us Ayat Al Kursi and Glorification (Tasbeeh) of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, so we said it’.
فَقَالُوا انْطَلِقُوا لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا نَتَّبِعُكُمْ أَبَداً وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْكُمْ لِصٌّ أَبَداً بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ.
They said, ‘Go! No, by Allah-azwj, we shall not pursue you, ever, nor will any thief be able upon you, ever, after this speech!’’[14]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘The audacious ones from children of Satan(s) interfere and enter between carriages of the Momineen, so they scatter (scare) their camels upon them, so protect yourselves of that with Ayat Al Kursi’’.[16]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – My father, from Yunus, from the one who mentioned it,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said regarding height of the house: ‘When it is raised above eight cubits it could be dwelt in (by the Jinn). So, when it is raised over eight cubits, write Ayat Al Kursi at the top of the eight’’.[17]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Abdullah Bin Sinan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Satan(s)-la are saying there is a peak for all things, and (I-asws am saying) peak of the Quran is Ayat Al Kursi. One who reads it once, Allah-azwj will Turn away a thousand abhorrence’s from abhorrence’s of the world, and a thousand abhorrence’s from abhorrence’s of the Hereafter.
أَيْسَرُ مَكْرُوهِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَقْرُ وَ أَيْسَرُ مَكْرُوهِ الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابُ الْقَبْرِ وَ إِنِّي لَأَسْتَعِينُ بِهَا عَلَى صُعُودِ الدَّرَجَةِ.

17- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْقُرْآنُ مَأْدُبَةُ اللَّهِ فَتَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ مَأْدُبَةِ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ إِنَّهُ النُّورُ الْمُبِينُ وَ الشِّفَاءُ النَّافِعُ تَعَلَّمُوهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُشَرِّفُكُمْ بِتَعَلُّمِهِ
The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘This Quran is an Education of Allah-azwj the Exalted, therefore learn from the Education of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic whatever you can, for it is a manifest Light, and a beneficial healing, so learn it, for Allah-azwj the Exalted would Ennoble you for learning it’.
تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ وَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهُمَا بَرَكَةٌ وَ تَرْكَهُمَا حَسْرَةٌ وَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُهُمَا الْبَطَلَةُ يَعْنِي السَّحَرَةَ
Learn Surah Al-Baqarah and Surah Aal-e-Imran for taking to these two is a Blessing, and neglecting them is regret, and the falsehood has no ability upon them – meaning the magic.
وَ إِنَّهُمَا لَيَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كأنه [كَأَنَّهُمَا] غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ عَبَاءَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا وَ يُحَاجُّهُمَا رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ يَقُولَانِ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ هَذَا أَقْرَأَنَا وَ أَظْمَأَنَا نَهَارَهُ وَ أَسْهَرَنَا لَيْلَهُ وَ أَنْصَبَنَا بَدَنَهُ
Both of them would come on the Day of Qiyamah like two clouds or two cloaks or two separate birds in a row and plead on behalf of their readers to the Lord-azwj of the worlds, the Almighty Lord-azwj, and will both say: ‘O Lord-azwj of the lords! This servant of Yours-azwj has recited us, and was thirsty with us during this day and held vigil with us during his night, and established us in his body!’
فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا أَيُّهَا الْقُرْآنُ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ تَسْلِيمُهُ لِمَا أَنْزَلْتُهُ فِيكَ مِنْ تَفْضِيلِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخِي مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
Allah-azwj will Say: “O You Quran! So how was their submission to what I-azwj had Revealed in you from the merits of AliIbn Abi Talib-asws, the brother of Muhammad Rasool-Allah-saww?”
يَقُولَانِ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ وَالاهُ وَ وَالَى وَلِيَّهُ وَ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَهُ إِذَا قَدَرَ جَهَرَ وَ إِذَا عَجَزَ اتَّقَى وَ اسْتَتَرَ
They will reply: ‘O Lord-azwj of the lords! They befriended him-asws and his-asws friends, and became inimical to his-asws enemies. When they were able they made it known and when they could not, they feared and concealed’.
يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَقَدْ عَمِلَ إِذاً بِكُمَا كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُ وَ عَظَّمَ مِنْ حَقِّكُمَا مَا أَعْظَمْتُهُ يَا عَلِيُّ أَ مَا تَسْتَمِعُ شَهَادَةَ الْقُرْآنِ لِوَلِيِّكَ هَذَا
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘Then they have dealt with you two just as I-azwj had Commanded it, and have considered great that which made you two great. O Ali-asws! Did you hear this testimony of the Quran for this friend of yours-asws?’
فَيَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ
Ali-asws will respond: ‘Yes O Lord!’
فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ فَاقْتَرِحْ لَهُ مَا تُرِيدُ فَيَقْتَرِحُ لَهُ مَا يُرِيدُهُ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنْ أَمَانِيِّ هَذَا الْقَارِي أَضْعَافَ الْمُضَاعَفَاتِ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيُقَالُ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ مَا اقْتَرَحْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘’Then suggest whatever you-asws want for him’. He-asws will then suggest for him such things that would exceed all the reader’s aspirations and desires, and their number will be unknown to all except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Allah-azwj will Say: “I-azwj have Given him what you-asws suggested O Ali-asws!”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ وَالِدَيِ الْقَارِي لَيُتَوَّجَانِ بِتَاجِ الْكَرَامَةِ يُضِيءُ نُورُهُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ سَنَةٍ وَ يُكْسَيَانِ حُلَّةً لَا يَقُومُ لِأَقَلِّ سِلْكٍ مِنْهَا مِائَةُ أَلْفِ ضِعْفِ مَا فِي الدُّنْيَا بِمَا يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِهَا
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And the parents of the reciter (of the Quran) will have a crown of prestige on their heads, the radiance of which will stretch to a travel distance of ten thousand years journey, and they will be clothed in such, fabrics the least of which would be better than a hundred thousand times of what is in the world, due to what would be included upon it from its goodness’.
ثُمَّ يُعْطَى هَذَا الْقَارِي الْمُلْكَ بِيَمِينِهِ فِي كِتَابٍ وَ الْخُلْدَ بِشِمَالِهِ فِي كِتَابٍ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ بِيَمِينِهِ قَدْ جُعِلْتَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ مُلُوكِ الْجِنَانِ وَ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ عَلِيٍّ خَيْرِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ بَعْدَهُمَا سَادَةِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ
Then the reciter will get a written deed to a kingdom in his right hand and be given the (Permission for) eternal life in his left hand. He would read from his deed (given in) his right hand, ‘We have given you a great kingdom in the Gardens and made you among the friends of Muhammad-saww the leader of the Prophets-as, and Ali-asws the best of the successors-as and the Imams-asws after him-asws, Chiefs of the pious’.
وَ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ بِشِمَالِهِ قَدْ أَمِنْتَ الزَّوَالَ وَ الِانْتِقَالَ عَنْ هَذَا الْمُلْكِ وَ أُعِذْتَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ كُفِيتَ الْأَمْرَاضَ وَ الْأَعْلَالَ وَ جُنِّبْتَ حَسَدَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ كَيْدَ الْكَائِدِينَ
And he would read from his deed in his left hand, ‘You are secured from the decline and the transference from this kingdom, and are sheltered from the death, and the illnesses and sufficed from the diseases and the pains, and would be kept aside from the envy of the envying ones, and plots of the plotters’.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ اقْرَأْ وَ ارْقَ وَ مَنْزِلُكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَؤُهَا
Then it would be said to him: ‘Recite and ascend, for your destination lies at the last Verse you would be reciting!’
فَإِذَا نَظَرَ وَالِدَاهُ إِلَى حِلْيَتِهِمَا وَ تَاجَيْهِمَا قَالا رَبَّنَا أَنَّى لَنَا هَذَا الشَّرَفُ وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ أَعْمَالُنَا
Then the parents will look at their clothes and crowns and they would ask: ‘Our Lord-azwj! For us is this nobility, and although our deeds did not reach it?’
فَقَالَ لَهُمَا إِكْرَامُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذَا لَكُمَا بِتَعْلِيمِكُمَا وَلَدَكُمَا الْقُرْآنَ.
The honourable Angels of Allah-azwj will say to them on behalf of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: ‘This is because both of you taught your children to read the Quran’’.[20]

يَقُلْنَ يَا رَبِّ تُهْبِطُنَا إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَ إِلَى مَنْ يَعْصِيكَ
They said, ‘O Lord-azwj! You-azwj are Sending us to Your-azwj earth and to the ones disobeying You-azwj?’

Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “No one from My-azwj servants will read you at the end of every Salat except I-azwj shall Make the Paradise as his abode based upon what was in it, and I-azwj shall Settle him in the Holy enclosure, and I-azwj shall Look at him during every day with seventy Glances!”’[21]
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا حِينَ نَامَ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى جَارَهُ وَ أَهْلَ الدُوَيْرَاتِ حَوْلَهُ.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘One who reads Ayat Al Kursi at the end of every Salat, nothing will prevent him entering the Paradise except the death; and one who recites it when he goes to sleep, Allah-azwj will Secure his neighbour and people of the houses around him’’.[22]

The Mighty and Majestic Said: Then he approached, so he bowed [53:8], and a green flickering was brought near him-saww. A mighty Noor overwhelmed him-saww to the extent that in his-saww nearness he-saww was like (at a distance of) two bows or nearer [53:9], and it is a measurement of what is between the veil to the veil.
وَ نَاجَاهُ بِمَا ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ إِنْ تُبْدُوا ما فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشاءُ-
And He-azwj Whispered to him-saww with what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Mentioned in His-azwj Book. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: For Allah is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth; and if you are revealing what is within yourselves or you are hiding it, Allah will Reckon you with it. Then He will Forgive the one He so Desires to and He will Punish the one He so Desires to [2:284].
وَ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قَدْ عَرَضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ مِنْ لَدُنْ آدَمَ إِلَى أَنْ بُعِثَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص فَأَبَوْا جَمِيعاً أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهَا مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا وَ قَبِلَهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ص
And this Verse had been presented unto rest of the communities since from Adam-as up to Prophet-hood of Muhammad-saww, but they had all refused to accept it due to its heaviness, and Muhammad-saww accepted it.
فَلَمَّا رَأَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهُ وَ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ الْقَبُولَ خَفَّفَ عَنْهُ ثِقَلَهَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ
When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Saw the acceptance from him-saww and from his-saww community, He-azwj Lightened it’s weight from him-saww. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: “The Rasool believes in what is Revealed unto him from his Lord” [2:285].
ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ تَكَرَّمَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَشْفَقَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ مِنْ تَشْدِيدِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي قَبِلَهَا هُوَ وَ أُمَّتُهُ فَأَجَابَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ أُمَّتِهِ فَقَالَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَلائِكَتِهِ وَ كُتُبِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ لا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic was Benevolent upon Muhammad-saww and Compassionate upon his-saww community from hardship of the Verse which he-saww and his-saww community had accepted. So, he-saww answered from himself-saww and his-saww community. He-saww said: ‘And (so do) the Momineen. They all believe in Allah, and His Angels, and His Books. They do not differentiate between any one of His Rasools’. [2:285].
فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُمُ الْمَغْفِرَةُ وَ الْجَنَّةُ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “For them is the Forgiveness and the Paradise when they do that!”
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ يَعْنِي الْمَرْجِعَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَأَجَابَهُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِتَائِبِي أُمَّتِكَ قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ لَهُمُ الْمَغْفِرَةَ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘‘We hear and we obey’”. (The Rasool said): ‘Yours is the Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the Destination’. [2:285], meaning the return in the Hereafter. He-azwj Answered him-saww: “I-azwj hereby do that with fatigue of your-saww community. I-azwj hereby Obligate the Forgiveness for them!”
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَّا إِذَا قَبِلْتَهَا أَنْتَ وَ أُمَّتُكَ وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ عُرِضَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأُمَمِ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوهَا فَحَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرْفَعَهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “But, when you-saww and your-saww community have accepted it, and it had been presented unto the Prophets-as and the communities from before, but they did not accept it, it is a right upon Me-azwj that I-azwj Raise it from your-azwj community!”
فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْساً إِلَّا وُسْعَها لَها ما كَسَبَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَ عَلَيْها مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ مِنْ شَرٍّ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “Allah does not Encumber a soul except to its capacity. For it would be what it earned – from the good – and against it would be what it earned”. [2:286] – from the evil!”
ثُمَّ أَلْهَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ ص أَنْ قَالَ رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذْنا إِنْ نَسِينا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنا
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Inspired His-azwj Prophet-saww to say: ‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. [2:286]’.
فَقَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِكَرَامَتِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ الْأُمَمَ السَّالِفَةَ كَانُوا إِذَا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابُ عَذَابِي وَ رَفَعْتُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ
Allah-azwj the Glorious Said: “I-azwj have Given it to you-saww due to your-saww prestige, O Muhammad-saww. The previous communities were such, whenever they forgot what they had been reminded of, doors of My-azwj Punishment were opened upon them, and that has been Raised away from your-saww community!”
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَبَّنا وَ لا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنا إِصْراً كَما حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنا يَعْنِي بِالْآصَارِ الشَّدَائِدَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us a burden like what You Loaded upon those from before us. [2:286]’, meaning by the ‘burden’, the adversities which were upon the communities, from the ones who existed before Muhammad-saww.
فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَقَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ الْآصَارَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ السَّالِفَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي جَعَلْتُ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ السَّالِفَةِ أَنْ لَا أَقْبَلَ فِعْلًا إِلَّا فِي بِقَاعِ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ بَعُدَتْ وَ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ الْأَرْضَ لَكَ وَ لِأُمَّتِكَ طَهُوراً وَ مَسْجِداً وَ هَذِهِ مِنَ الْآصَارِ وَ قَدْ رَفَعْتُهَا عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ
The Mighty and Majestic Said: “I-azwj have Raised away from your-saww community, the burdens which were upon the previous communities, and that is because I-azwj had Made upon the previous communities that I-azwj will not Accept any deed except in a spot of the earth I-azwj have Chosen for them and even if it was remote, and I-azwj have Made the (whole) earth for you-saww and your-saww community as a cleanser and a Masjid, and this is from the burdens, and I-azwj have Raised it away from your-azwj communities!”
وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِذْ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بِي فَزِدْنِي
And he-asws continued the Hadeeth up to he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! When You-azwj had Done that with me, then Increase for me-saww!’
فَأَلْهَمَهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ قَالَ رَبَّنا وَ لا تُحَمِّلْنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ
Allah-azwj the Glorious Inspired him-saww to say: Our Lord! And do not Load upon us what we have no strength for us with it; [2:286]’.
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِأُمَّتِكَ وَ قَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْهُمْ عَظِيمَ بَلَايَا الْأُمَمِ وَ ذَلِكَ حُكْمِي فِي جَمِيعِ الْأُمَمِ أَنْ لَا أُكَلِّفَ نَفْساً فَوْقَ طَاقَتِهَا
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “I-azwj hereby Do that with your-saww community, and I-azwj have Raised away from them the mighty afflictions of the (previous) communities, and that is My-azwj Judgment regarding entirety of the communities that I-azwj do not Encumber any soul above its endurance!”
قَالَ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ ارْحَمْنا أَنْتَ مَوْلانا
He-saww said: and Pardon (our sins) for us and have Mercy on us. You are our Master, [2:286]’.
قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِتَائِبِي أُمَّتِكَ
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “I-azwj hereby Do that due to fatigue of your-saww community!”
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَانْصُرْنا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكافِرِينَ
Then he-saww said: ‘therefore Help us against the Kafir people’. [2:286].
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَ جَعَلْتُ أُمَّتَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ كَالشَّامَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ هُمُ الْقَادِرُونَ وَ هُمُ الْقَاهِرُونَ يَسْتَخْدِمُونَ وَ لَا يُسْتَخْدَمُونَ لِكَرَامَتِكَ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُظْهِرَ دِينَكَ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا غَرْبِهَا دِينٌ إِلَّا دِينُكَ.
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “I-azwj have Done that and have Made your-saww community, O Muhammad-saww, like the white spot in the black bull. They are the able, and they are the subduers. They will be served and not be serving due to your-saww honour, and there is a right upon Me-azwj to Prevail your-saww religion over the (other) religions until there does not remain, neither in east of the earth nor its west, any religion except your-saww religion’’.[25]
21- نُقِلَ مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لِمَنْ قَرَأَ الْعِشْرِينَ آيَةً أَنْ يَعْصِمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ ظَالِمٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَارِدٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ لِصٍّ عَادٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ ضَارٍ وَ هِيَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ ثَلَاثُ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الْأَعْرَافِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ عَشْرٌ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الصَّافَّاتِ وَ ثَلَاثٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ يا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ إِلَى تَنْتَصِرانِ وَ ثَلَاثٌ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْحَشْرِ هُوَ اللَّهُ إِلَى آخِرِهَا.
It has been copied from handwriting of Al-Shaheed, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, from Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘I-asws am a guarantor for the one who reads twenty (20) Verses that Allah-azwj will Protect him from every unjust ruler, and from every rebellious Satan-la, and from every returning thief, and from every harmful predator, and it is Ayat Al Kursi, and three Verses from (Surah) Al Araaf, Surely, your Lord [7:54] – up to the good doers [7:56], and ten from beginning of (Surah) Al Saffaat, and three from (Surah) Al Rahman, O communities of the Jinn [55:33] – up to – help each other [55:35], and three from end of Surah Al Hashr, He is Allah. [59:22] – up to its end’’.[26]
22- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘From Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws – similar to it and there is an addition in its end: Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasools [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182]’’.[27]
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ زَيْنَ الْعَابِدِينَ ع مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ وَ هُوَ قَاعِدٌ عَلَى بَابِ رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا يُقْعِدُكَ عَلَى بَابِ هَذَا الْمُتْرَفِ الْجَبَّارِ
And it is reported that Zayn Al-Abideen-asws passed by a man and he was seated at the door of a man. He-asws said to him: ‘What makes you sit at the door of this affluent tyrant?’
فَقَالَ الْبَلَاءُ
He said, ‘The affliction!’
فَقَالَ قُمْ فَأُرْشِدَكَ إِلَى بَابٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ بَابِهِ وَ إِلَى رَبٍّ خَيْرٍ لَكَ مِنْهُ
He-asws said: ‘Arise! I-asws shall guide you to a door better than his door, and to a Lord-azwj who is better for you than him!’
فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ص ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِآخِرِ الْحَشْرِ وَ سِتَّ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الْحَدِيدِ وَ بِالْآيَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ فِي آلِ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ سَلِ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْأَلُ إِلَّا أَعْطَاكَ وَ لَعَلَّ الْآيَتَيْنِ آيَةُ الْمُلْكِ.
He-asws held his hand until he-asws ended to the Masjid, Masjid of the Prophet-saww. Then he-saww said: ‘Face the Qiblah and pray two Cycles Salat, then raise your hands to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Laud upon Him-azwj and send Salawaat upon His-azwj Rasool-saww, then supplicate with ends of (Surah) Al Hashr, and six Verses from beginning of (Surah) Al Hadeed, and with the two Verses which are in (Surah) Aal-e-Imran-as, then ask Allah-azwj, for you will not ask Allah-azwj except He-azwj will Give you, and perhaps the two Verses of (Surah) Al Mulk’’.[28]
وَ مِنْهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ كَانَ فِي بَطْنِهِ مَاءٌ أَصْفَرُ فَكَتَبَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ شَرِبَ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءَ يَبْرَأْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ.
And from him-asws, from the Prophet-saww: ‘O Ali-asws! The one who were to have yellow water in his belly, so he writes Ayat Al Kursi and drinks that water, he would be cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj!’’[29]
23- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، عَنِ ابْنِ نُبَاتَةَ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ يَعْنِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي بَطْنِي مَاءً أَصْفَرَ فَهَلْ مِنْ شِفَاءٍ
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘From Ibn Nubata in a lengthy Hadeeth, ‘A man stood up to him-asws, meaning Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He said, ‘There is yellow water in my belly, is there any cure?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ بِلَا دِرْهَمٍ وَ لَا دِينَارٍ وَ لَكِنْ تَكْتُبُ عَلَى بَطْنِكَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ تَكْتُبُهَا وَ تَشْرَبُهَا وَ تَجْعَلُهَا ذَخِيرَةً فِي بَطْنِكَ فَتَبْرَأُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, with neither a Dirham nor a Dinar, but write Ayat Al Kursi upon your belly, and write it and drink it and make it a hoard (store) in your belly, you will be cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj’.
فَفَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ فَبَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
The man did so, and he was cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj’’.[30]
24- كِتَابُ الْغَايَاتِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أَيَّةُ آيَةٍ أَعْظَمُ

‘From the Prophet-saww having said to a man: ‘Which Verse is mightiest?’
قَالَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
He said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’.
قَالَ فَأَعَادَ الْقَوْلَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-saww repeated the word. He said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’.
فَأَعَادَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
He-saww repeated. He said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَعْظَمُ آيَةٍ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Mightiest Verse is Ayat Al Kursi!’’[31]

(The book) ‘Al Durr Al Mansour’ –
‘From Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘Whenever one of you intends the need, let him seek it on the day of Thursday, for Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj! Bless for my-saww community in its early morning (seeking) on the day of Thursday!’
وَ لْيَقْرَأْ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ آخِرَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ أُمَّ الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِنَّ قَضَاءَ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
And let him recite when he goes out from his house, end of Surah Aal-e-Imran-as, and Surah Al Qadr, and Mother of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), for in these is fulfilment of needs of the world and the Hereafter’’.[32] (non-Shia source)
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُوتِرُ بِتِسْعِ سُوَرٍ فِي ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ أَلْهَيكُمُ التَّكَاثُرُ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا فِي رَكْعَةٍ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَ الْعَصْرِ وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ- وَ إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ.
And from Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to pray Al-Witr (Salat) with nine Chapters in three Cycles – Surah(s) Al Takasur, and Al Qadr, and Al Zilzaal in one Cycle; and in the second (Surah(s) Al Asr, and Al Nasr, and Al Kawser; and in the third (Surah(s)) Al Kafiroun, and Lahab, and Al Tawheed’’.[33]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Isa Bin Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather,
‘From Ali-asws having said: ‘The Quran had Abrogated, part of it with part, and rather it should be taken from the matter of Rasool-Allah-saww with its latest of what had been Revealed upon him-saww.
الْمَائِدَةِ نَسَخَتْ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَ لَمْ يَنْسَخْهَا شَيْءٌ فَلَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ وَ ثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ وَ تَدَلَّى بَطْنُهَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ سُرَّتَهَا تَكَادُ تَمَسُّ الْأَرْضَ وَ أُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ذُؤَابَةِ شَيْبَةَ [بْنِ] وَهْبٍ الْجُمَحِيِّ
(Surah) Al Maaida Abrogated what was before it and nothing Abrogated it. It was Revealed unto him-saww while he-saww was upon his-saww mule (named as) ‘Al Shahba’, and the Revelation was heavy upon it to the extent that it fell and its belly was bent, until I-asws saw its navel touching the ground, and there was unconsciousness upon Rasool-Allah-saww until he-saww place his-saww hand upon a forelock of Sheyba Bin Wahb Al Juhmy.
ثُمَّ رُفِعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةَ الْمَائِدَةِ فَعَمِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ علمناه [عَمِلْنَا].
Then, that was Raised away from Rasool-Allah-saww, so he-saww read Surah Al Maaida to us. Rasool-Allah-saww worked and taught us (worked us)’’.[37]

مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي نَهَارِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ كَانَ فِي نَهَارِهِ مِنَ الْمَحْفُوظِينَ وَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ
One, who recites it before going to sleep, or during his day before the evening, would be among the secured ones and the recipients of sustenance until the evening.
وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ
And one who recites it during the night before going to sleep, Allah-azwj Allocates a thousand angels who keep him safe from every evil Pelted Satan-la, and from every misfortune.
وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ فِي لَيْلَتِهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ حَضَرَ غُسْلَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ وَ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهُ
And if he were to die during that day, Allah-azwj would Make him to enter the Paradise, and thirty thousand angels would be present at his washing (of his body), all of them seeking Forgiveness for him, and escort him to his grave with seeking Forgiveness for him.
فَإِذَا أُدْخِلَ فِي لَحْدِهِ كَانُوا فِي جَوْفِ قَبْرِهِ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَ ثَوَابُ عِبَادَتِهِمْ لَهُ وَ فُسِحَ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَدَّ بَصَرِهِ وَ أُومِنَ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ نُورٌ سَاطِعٌ إِلَى أَعْنَانِ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ
When he enters into his grave, they would be in the middle of it worshiping Allah-azwj, and the Rewards of their worship would be for him, and his grave would be extended for him to the extent of his vision, and he would be safe from the squeezing of the grave, and a light would not cease to be in his grave shining up to the sky until Allah-azwj Extracts him from his grave’.
فَإِذَا أَخْرَجَهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ مَعَهُ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ وَ يُحَدِّثُونَهُ وَ يَضْحَكُونَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ حَتَّى يَجُوزُوا بِهِ الصِّرَاطَ وَ الْمِيزَانَ
When he comes out, the Angels of Allah-azwj would not stop escorting him, and discussing with him, and smiling in his face, and giving him glad tidings with every goodness until they cross upon the Bridge with him, and at the Scale.
وَ يُوقِفُوهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَوْقِفاً لَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خلقا [خَلْقٌ] أَقْرَبَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ هُوَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَاقِفٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ لَا يَحْزَنُ مَعَ مَنْ يَحْزَنُ وَ لَا يَهْتَمُّ مَعَ مَنْ يَهْتَمُّ وَ لَا يَجْزَعُ مَعَ مَنْ يَجْزَعُ
And they would be pausing at such a pausing stop from Allah-azwj, there would not happen to be any creature nearer than him in the Presence of Allah-azwj except for the Angels of Proximity, and His-azwj Messenger Prophets-as. And he would be with the Prophets-as, paused in front of Allah-azwj, neither grieving along with the grieving ones, nor distressed along with the distressed ones, nor being terrified along with the terrified ones.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اشْفَعْ عَبْدِي أُشَفِّعْكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا تَشْفَعُ وَ سَلْنِي عَبْدِي أُعْطِكَ جَمِيعَ مَا تَسْأَلُ
Then the Lord-azwj, Blessed and Exalted will be Saying to him: “Ask for intercession, My servant, I-azwj shall Intercede in all what you ask intercession for, and ask Me-azwj, I-azwj shall grant you, My-azwj servant, all what you ask for”.
فَيَسْأَلُ فَيُعْطَى وَ يَشْفَعُ فَيُشَفَّعُ وَ لَا يُحَاسَبُ فِيمَنْ يُحَاسَبُ وَ لَا يُوقَفُ مَعَ مَنْ يُوقَفُ وَ لَا يَذِلُّ مَعَ مَنْ يَذِلُّ وَ لَا يُكْبَتُ بِخَطِيئَةٍ وَ لَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلِهِ
He would ask, and he would be Given, and he would seek to intercede, and He-azwj would (Accept) his intercession, and he will not be Reckoned among the ones who would be Reckoned with, nor would he be paused along with the pausing ones, nor be disgraced (along with) the disgraced ones, nor would his sins be Written down, nor anything from the evil of his deeds.
وَ يُعْطَى كِتَاباً مَنْشُوراً حَتَّى يَهْبِطُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ لِهَذَا الْعَبْدِ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ يَكُونُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص.
And he would be given a published book until he descends from the Presence of Allah. So the people would be saying in their unison, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! There hasn’t been a single sin for this servant!’ And he would happen to be from the friends of Muhammad-saww’’.[86]

وَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَهْوَالَهُ وَ وَلِيَ قَبْضَ رُوحِهِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ يَضْمَنُ اللَّهُ لَهُ السَّعَةَ فِي مَعِيشَتِهِ وَ الْفَرَحَ عِنْدَ لِقَائِهِ وَ الرِّضَا بِالثَّوَابِ فِي آخِرَتِهِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ.

‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The Quran is most superior of all things besides Allah-azwj. The one who dignifies the Quran has dignified Allah-azwj and one who does not dignify the Quran has taken lightly with a right of Allah-azwj, and sanctity of the Quran is like sanctity of the parent upon his child.
وَ حَمَلَةُ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُحَفَّفُون بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ الْمَلْبُوسُونَ نُورَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ يَا حَمَلَةَ الْقُرْآنِ اسْتَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ بِتَوْقِيرِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَزِدْ لَكُمْ حُبّاً وَ يُحَبِّبْكُمْ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ
And bearers of the Quran are the ones surrounded with Mercy of Allah-azwj, clothed in Noor. Allah-azwj Said: “O bearers of the Quran! Seek to be loved by Allah-azwj by dignifying the Book of Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Increase love for you and Cause you to be beloved to His-azwj servants!”
يُدْفَعُ عَنْ مُسْتَمِعِ الْقُرْآنِ بَلْوَى الدُّنْيَا وَ عَنْ قَارِئِهَا بَلْوَى الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَمُسْتَمِعُ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَبِيرٍ ذَهَباً وَ لَتَالِي آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى أَسْفَلِ التُّخُومِ
He-azwj Repels afflictions of the world away from the intent listener of the Quran, and afflictions of the Hereafter from its reader’ and for the intent listener there is a Verse of the Book of Allah-azwj which is better than (mount) Subeyr in gold; and for a reciter there is a Verse of the Book of Allah-azwj which is superior to whatever is beneath the Throne up to the lowest bottom!
وَ إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ سُورَةً يُسَمَّى الْعَزِيزَ يُدْعَى صَاحِبُهَا الشَّرِيفَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يُشَفَّعُ لِصَاحِبِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلَ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ
In the Book of Allah-azwj there is a Chapter named as ‘the mighty’. It will call its companion as ‘the noble’ in the Presence of Allah-azwj. On the Day of Qiyamah it will intercede for its companion like (the tribes) of Rabie and Muza’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَلَا وَ هِيَ سُورَةُ يس
Then the Prophet-saww said: ‘Indeed, and it is Surah Yaseen!’
وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ- اقْرَأْ يس فَإِنَّ فِي يس عَشَرَةَ بَرَكَاتٍ مَا قَرَأَهَا جَائِعٌ إِلَّا شَبِعَ وَ لَا ظَمْآنُ إِلَّا رَوِيَ وَ لَا عَارٍ إِلَّا كُسِيَ وَ لَا عَزَبٌ إِلَّا تَزَوَّجَ وَ لَا خَائِفٌ إِلَّا أَمِنَ وَ لَا مَرِيضٌ إِلَّا بَرَأَ وَ لَا مَحْبُوسٌ إِلَّا أُخْرِجَ وَ لَا مُسَافِرٌ إِلَّا أُعِينَ عَلَى سَفَرِهِ وَ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ عِنْدَ مَيِّتٍ إِلَّا خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ لَا قَرَأَهَا رَجُلٌ لَهُ ضَالَّةٌ إِلَّا وَجَدَهَا.
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Read (Surah) Yaseen, for in (Surah) Yaseen there are ten Blessings. No hungry one will recite it except he would be satiated, nor a thirsty one except he will be saturated, nor a naked except he will be clothed, nor a bachelor except he will be married, nor a fearful except he would be safe, nor a sick except he will be cured, nor an imprisoned except he will come out, nor a traveller except he will be assisted upon his journey, nor will they be reading it in presence of a deceased except Allah-azwj will Lighten from him, nor be recited by a man having lost a property except he would find it’’.[90]
دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ اقْرَأْ يس وَ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ – of Al Rawandy –
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Recited (Surah) Yaseen!’ – and mentioning similar to it’’.[91]
5- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبْدُونٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ قَرِيبِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَلِّمُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ يَاسِينَ فَإِنَّهَا رَيْحَانَةُ الْقُرْآنِ.

6- الدُّرُّ الْمَنْثُورُ، عَنْ جُنْدَبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ يس فِي لَيْلَةٍ ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Durr Al-Mansour’ – from Jundab Bin Abdullah who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who reads (Surah) Yaseen during a night seeking the Face of Allah-azwj, (his sins) will be Forgiven for him’’.[93]
وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يس ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَ قَالَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهَا تَعْدِلُ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّهُ.
And from Al-Hassan who said: ‘One who recites (Surah) Yaseen seeking the Face of Allah-azwj, (his sins) will be Forgiven for him’. And he said, ‘It has reached me that it equates to the Quran, all of it’’.[94]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سُورَةُ يس تُدْعَى فِي التَّوْرَاةِ الْمِعَمَّةَ تَعُمُّ صَاحِبَهَا بِخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ تُكَابِدُ عَنْهُ بَلْوَى الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ تَدْفَعُ عَنْهُ أَهَاوِيلَ الْآخِرَةِ
And from Abu Bakr who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Surah Yaseen is called, ‘The generaliser’. It generalises its companion goodness of the world and the Hereafter, and it defends him from afflictions of the world and the Hereafter, and it defends him from horrors of the Hereafter.
وَ تُسَمَّى الدَّافِعَةَ وَ الْقَاضِيَةَ وَ تَدْفَعُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا كُلَّ سُوءٍ وَ تَقْضِي لَهُ كُلَّ حَاجَةٍ
And it is named as ‘The defender’, and ‘The fulfiller’, and it defends its companion from every evil and fulfils every need for him.
مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عَدَلَتْ لَهُ عِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً وَ مَنْ سَمِعَهَا عَدَلَتْ لَهُ أَلْفَ دِينَارٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ كَتَبَهَا ثُمَّ شَرِبَهَا أَدْخَلَتْ جَوْفَهُ أَلْفَ دَوَاءٍ وَ أَلْفَ نُورٍ وَ أَلْفَ يَقِينٍ وَ أَلْفَ بَرَكَةٍ وَ أَلْفَ رَحْمَةٍ وَ نَزَعَتْ عَنْهُ كُلَّ غِلٍّ وَ دَاءٍ.
One who reads it, it will equate for him to (having performed) twenty Hajj, and one who hears it, it will equate for him to a thousand Dinars (having been spent) in the way of Allah-azwj, and one who writes it, then drinks it, a thousand cures will enter his inside, and a thousand Noor(s), and a thousand certainties, and a thousand Blessings, and a thousand Mercies, and it will remove from it every grudge and disease’’.[95]
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ سَمِعَ سُورَةَ يس عَدَلَتْ لَهُ عِشْرِينَ دِينَاراً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عَدَلَتْ لَهُ عِشْرِينَ حَجَّةً وَ مَنْ كَتَبَهَا وَ شَرِبَهَا أَدْخَلَتْ جَوْفَهُ أَلْفَ يَقِينٍ وَ أَلْفَ نُورٍ وَ أَلْفَ بَرَكَةٍ وَ أَلْفَ رَحْمَةٍ وَ أَلْفَ رِزْقٍ وَ نَزَعَتْ مِنْهُ كُلَّ غِلٍّ وَ دَاءٍ.

وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّهَا فِي قَلْبِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَعْنِي يس.
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘I-saww would love it if it were to be in the heart of every person of my-saww community!’, meaning Surah Yaseen’’.[97]
وَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ قَالَ: بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ يس فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ قُضِيَتْ حَوَائِجُهُ.
And from Ata’a Bin Abu Rabah who said, ‘It has reached me that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who reads (Surah) Yaseen in middle of the day, his needs would be fulfilled’’.[98]

And from Abu Qilaba who said, ‘One who reads (Surah) Yaseen, (sins) will be Forgiven for him; and one who reads it and he is hungry, will be satiated, and one who reads it and he is lost, will be guided, and one who reads it and has lost a property of his, will find it, and one who reads it at a meal fearing its scarcity, it will suffice him, and one who reads it in presence of a deceased, it (problems) will be Eased upon him.
وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عِنْدَ امْرَأَةٍ عَسُرَ عَلَيْهَا وَلَدُهَا يَسُرَ عَلَيْهَا وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَلْبٌ وَ قَلْبُ الْقُرْآنِ يس.
And one who reads it in presence of a (pregnant) woman her childbirth is difficult upon her, it will be eased upon her; and one who reads it, it is as if he has read the Quran eleven times, and for every thing there is a heart, and heart of the Quran is (Surah) Yaseen’’.[101] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يس إِذَا أَصْبَحَ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي فَرَجٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا إِذَا أَمْسَى لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي فَرَجٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ.
And from Yahya Bin Abu Kaseer who said, ‘One who reads (Surah) Yaseen when it is morning, will not cease to be in relief until evening, and one who reads it when it is evening will not cease to be in relief until morning’’.[102] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: قَرَأَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَجْنُونٍ سُورَةَ يس فَبَرَأَ.
And from Ja’far who said, ‘Saeed Bin Jubeyr read Surah Yaseen upon a madman, he was cured’’.[103] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الدَّبَّاغِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: سَلَكْتُ طَرِيقاً فِيهِ غُولٌ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ عَلَيْهَا ثِيَابٌ مُعَصْفَرَةٌ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ وَ قَنَادِيلُ وَ هِيَ تَدْعُونِي فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ أَخَذْتُ فِي قِرَاءَةِ يس
And from Ahmad Bin Ubeydullah Bin Muhammad Bin Amro Al Dabbag, from his father who said, ‘I travelled a road wherein was a Ghoul. Behold, there was a woman having yellow clothes upon her, being upon a bed, and lamps, and she was calling me. When I saw that, I took to reciting Surah Yaseen.
فَطَفِئَتْ قَنَادِيلُها وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِي فَسَلِمْتُ عَنْهَا
She extinguished her lamps and she said, ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! What have you done with me?’ So I was safe from her’.
قَالَ الْمُقْرِئُ فَلَا يُصِيبُكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَوْفٍ أَوْ مُطَالَبَةٍ مِنْ سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ عَدُوٍّ إِلَّا قَرَأْتُمْ يس فَإِنَّهُ يُدْفَعُ عَنْكُمْ بِهَا.
Al-Muqry said, ‘Nothing will afflict you, from fear ,or a summons from a ruler, or an enemy, except you should recite (Surah) Yaseen, for it will be repelled from you due to it’’.[104] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ عَنْ جَزِيمِ بْنِ فَاتِكٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ فِي طَلَبِ إِبِلٍ لِي وَ كُنَّا إِذَا نَزَلْنَا بِوَادٍ قُلْنَا نَعُوذُ بِعَزِيزِ هَذَا الْوَادِي فَتَوَسَّدَتْ نَاقَةٌ وَ قُلْتُ أَعُوذُ بِعَزِيزِ هَذَا الْوَادِي فَإِذَا هَاتِفٌ يَهْتِفُ بِي وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ
And from Jazeem Bin Fatik who said, ‘I went out in seeking a camel of mine, and we were such that whenever we descended in a valley we said, ‘We seek Refuge with ‘mighty’ one of this valley! A she-camel knelt, and I said, ‘I seek Refuge with ‘mighty’ one of this valley!’ Behold, there was a caller calling out to me, and he said (a poem),
| وَيْحَكَ عُذْ بِاللَّهِ ذِي الْجَلَالِ | مُنَزِّلِ الْحَرَامِ وَ الْحَلَالِ | |
| وَ وَحِّدِ اللَّهَ وَ لَا تُبَالِ | مَا كَيْدُ ذِي الْجِنِّ مِنَ الْأَهْوَالِ | |
| إِذْ تَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى الْأَمْيَالِ | وَ فِي سُهُولِ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْجِبَالِ | |
| وَ صَارَ كَيْدُ الْجِنِّ فِي سَفَالٍ | إِلَّا التُّقَى وَ صَالِحَ الْأَعْمَالِ |
‘Woe to you! Seek refuge with Allah, the Possessor of Majesty, the One who Revealed the lawful and the forbidden, profess Oneness of Allah and don’t care about, the schemes of the jinn and their calamities, remember Allah in times of ease and hardship, in the plains of the earth and the mountains, the schemes of the jinn become futile, except for one who adheres to righteousness and good deeds!’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ
| يَا أَيُّهَا الْقَائِلُ مَا تَقُولُ | أَ رَشَدٌ عِنْدَكَ أَمْ تَضْلِيلٌ |
I said to him (a couplet), ‘O you speaker, what are you saying, is there guidance in your presence or straying?’
فَقَالَ
| هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ذُو الْخَيْرَاتِ | جَاءَ بِيس وَ حَامِيمَاتٍ | |
| وَ سُوَرٍ بَعْدُ مُفَصَّلَاتٍ | يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَ الزَّكَاةِ | |
| وَ يَزْجُرُ الْأَقْوَامَ عَنْ هَنَاتٍ | قَدْ كُنَّ فِي الْأَنَامِ مُنْكَرَاتٍ |
He said (a poem), ‘This is Rasool-Allah-saww, the possessor of abundant goodness. He-saww came with clear signs and wise teachings, and chapters, distinct and detailed, commanding Salat and Zakat. He admonishes people against shameful deeds, which were previously considered unacceptable among mankind’.
قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ
I said to him, ‘Who are you?’
قَالَ أَنَا مَلِكٌ مِنْ مُلُوكِ الْجِنِّ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى جِنِّ نَجْدٍ
He said, ‘I am a king from the kings of Jinn. Rasool-Allah-saww had sent me to Jinn of Najd!’
قُلْتُ أَمَا لَوْ كَانَ لِي مَنْ يُؤَدِّي لِي إِبِلِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَهْلِي لَآتِيهِ حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ
I said, ‘But, if only there was someone who can take this camel of mine back to my family, I would go to him until I become a Muslim’.
قَالَ فَأَنَا أُؤَدِّيهَا
He said, ‘I shall deliver it’.
فَرَكِبْتُ بَعِيراً مِنْهَا ثُمَّ قَدِمْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي ضَمِنَ لَكَ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ إِبِلَكَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَدَّاهَا سَالِمَةً.
I rode a camel from it, then I went ahead, and there the Prophet-saww was upon the pulpit. When he-saww saw me, he-saww said: ‘What did the man do, the one who guaranteed for you that he will be delivering your camel? He has delivered it safely’’.[105]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَقَرَأَ عِنْدَهُمَا يس غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِنْهَا.
And from Abu Bakr who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who visits the grave of his parents, or one of them, during every Friday, so he recites (Surah) Yaseen in their presence, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him (sins) the number of every letter of it’’.[106]
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْقُرْآنُ يَنْفَلِتُ مِنْ صَدْرِي
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! The Quran slips away from my-asws chest!’
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ يَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ بِهِنَّ وَ يَنْفَعُ مَنْ عَلَّمْتَهُ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww teach you-asws phrases Allah-azwj will Benefit you-asws with these, and benefit the one whom you-asws teach it to?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي
He-asws said: ‘Yes, may my-asws father-as and my-asws mother-as be (sacrificed) for you-saww!’
قَالَ صَلِّ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ يس وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ بِحم الدُّخَانِ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ بِالم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةِ وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ تَبَارَكَ الْمُفَصَّلِ
He-saww said: ‘Pray four Cycles Salat on the night of Friday, reciting in the first Cycle with Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and (Surah) Yaseen; and in the second with Opening of the Book and (Surah) Al Dukhan; and in the third with Opening of the Book and (Surah) Al Sajdah; and in the fourth with Opening of the Book and Surah Al Mulk.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
When you-asws are free from performing Tashahhud, praise Allah-azwj and laud upon Him-azwj and send Salawaat upon the Prophets-as, and seek Forgiveness for the Momineen, then say: ‘O Allah-azwj! Mercy me with neglecting acts of disobedience for ever, for as long as You-azwj Let me remain, and Mercy me from encumbering what does not concern me, and Grace me the goodly consideration regarding what would Satisfy You-azwj with me!
اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ بِجَلَالِكَ وَ نُورِ وَجْهِكَ أَنْ تُلْزِمَ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ
O Allah-azwj, Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and with the Might which cannot be breached! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-saww, O Beneficent, by Your-azwj Majestic and Noor of Your-azwj Face, to Necessitated my heart memorisation of Your-azwj Book just as You-azwj have Taught me, and Grace me to recite it upon the approximation of which would Satisfy You-azwj!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُنَوِّرَ بِالْكِتَابِ بَصَرِي وَ تُنْطِقَ بِهِ لِسَانِي وَ تُفَرِّجَ بِهِ عَنْ قَلْبِي وَ تَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ تَسْتَعْمِلَ بِهِ بَدَنِي وَ تُقَوِّيَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ تُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعِينُنِي عَلَى الْخَيْرِ غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا يُوَفِّقُ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْتَ-
And I ask You-azwj to Irradiate my sight with Your-azwj Book, and Cause my tongue to speak with it, and Relieve my heart due to it, and Expand my chest with it, and Utilise my body with it, and Strengthen me upon that, and Assist me upon it, for no one can assist me upon the good apart from You-azwj, nor Harmonise me to it except You-azwj!’
فَافْعَلْ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ أَوْ خَمْساً أَوْ سَبْعاً تَحْفَظْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا أَخْطَأَ مُؤْمِناً قَطُّ
Do that three-times together, or five, or seven, you-asws will memorise by the Permission of Allah-azwj, and a Momin will not err at all!’
فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِسَبْعِ جُمَعٍ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِحِفْظِهِ الْقُرْآنَ وَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مُؤْمِنٌ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ عَلِّمْ أَبَا حَسَنٍ عَلِّمْ أَبَا حَسَنٍ.
He-asws came to the Prophet-saww with seven together, after that. He-asws informed him-asws with his-asws having memorised the Quran and the Hadeeth. The Prophet-saww said: ‘A Momin, by the Lord-azwj of Kaaba! Abu Al-Hassan-asws knows! Abu Al-Hassan-asws knows!’’[107] (Derogatory, and non-Shia source, (the book) Al-Durr Al-Mansour of Al-Suyuti volume 5)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَتْ قُرَيْشٌ بِبَابِ النَّبِيِّ ص يَنْتَظِرُونَ خُرُوجَهُ لِيُؤْذُوهُ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِسُورَةِ يس وَ أَمَرَهُ بِالْخُرُوجِ عَلَيْهِمْ
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Quraysh gathered at the door of the Prophet-saww awaiting his-saww coming out in order to hurt him-saww. That was grievous upon him-saww, so Jibraeel-as came to him-saww with Surah Yaseen and instructed him-saww with the going out to them.
فَأَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنْ تُرَابٍ وَ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقْرَؤُهَا وَ يَذُرُّ التُّرَابَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ فَمَا رَأَوْهُ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ فَجَعَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَلْمِسُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَجِدُ التُّرَابَ وَ جَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ فَقَالَ مَا يُجْلِسُكُمْ قَالُوا نَنْتَظِرُ مُحَمَّداً فَقَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ دَاخِلًا الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ قُومُوا فَقَدْ سَحَرَكُمْ.
He-saww grabbed a handful of soil and came out and he-saww was reading it, and he scattered the soil upon their heads, so they did not see him-saww until he-saww had passed by. One of them went on to touch his head and he found the soil, and one of them came and said, ‘What are you sitting for?’ They said, ‘We are awaiting Muhammad-saww!’ He said, ‘I have seen him-saww entering the Masjid’. He said, ‘Arise, for he-saww has bewitched you all!’’[108]
وَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لَوْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّداً لَفَعَلْتُ بِهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ يَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لَوْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّداً لَفَعَلْتُ بِهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا
From Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl-la) who said, ‘Some people from the Polytheists of Quraysh, one of them said, ‘If I were to see Muhammad-saww I would do such and such (harm) to him-saww!’ And one of them said, ‘If I were to see Muhammad-saww, I would do such and such (harm) to him-saww!’
فَأَتَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ هُمْ فِي حَلْقَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ
The Prophet-saww came to them and they were in a circle in the Masjid. He-saww paused by them and read: Ya Seen [36:1] By the Wise Quran [36:2] You are one of the Rasools [36:3] until he-saww reached: so they are not seeing [36:9].
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ تُرَاباً فَجَعَلَ يَذُرُّهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ فَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَيْهِ طَرْفَهُ وَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ كَلِمَةً ثُمَّ جَاوَزَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَجَعَلُوا يَنْفُضُونَ التُّرَابَ عَنْ رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ لِحَاهُمْ يَقُولُونَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْنَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَبْصَرْنَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَقَلْنَا.
Then he-saww grabbed some soil and went on to scatter it upon their heads. No man from them raised his eyelid to him-saww nor spoke a word. Then the Prophet-saww passed by and they went on to shake off the soil from their heads and their beards saying, ‘By Allah-azwj, we did not hear! By Allah-azwj, we did not see! By Allah-azwj, we did not understand!’’[109]
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ مَنَازِلُهُمْ بَعِيدَةً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْتَقِلُوا فَيَكُونُوا قَرِيباً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَزَلَتْ وَ نَكْتُبُ ما قَدَّمُوا وَ آثارَهُمْ فَقَالُوا بَلْ نَمْكُثُ مَكَانَنَا.
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘The Helpers were such, their houses were distant from the Masjid. They wanted to transfer so they could be near to the Masjid. It was Revealed: and We Write down whatever they send forward and their impacts, [36:12]. They said, ‘But, we shall remain in our places!’’[110]
وَ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فَبَعَثُوا عُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ ائْتِ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّكَ جِئْتَ بِأَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِ آبَاؤُنَا وَ لَا يَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا وَ إِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتَ هَذَا أَنَّكَ ذُو حَاجَةٍ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تُرِيدُ الْمَالَ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ سَيَجْمَعُونَ لَكَ وَ يُعْطُونَكَ فَدَعْ مَا تَرَى وَ عَلَيْكَ بِمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ آبَاؤُكَ
And from Mujahid who said, ‘Quraysh gathered and sent for Utba Bin Rabie. They said to him, ‘Go to this man and say to him-saww, ‘Your-saww people are saying you-saww have come with a grievous matter and our forefathers have not been upon it nor had anyone of us will follow you-saww upon it, and rather you-saww are doing this (because) you-saww are with need. If you-saww want wealth, your-saww people will collect (it) for you-saww and give you-saww, so leave what you-saww view, and upon you-saww is to be with what your-saww forefathers have been upon!’
فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ عُتْبَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الَّذِي أَمَرُوهُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَ سَكَتَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ حم تَنْزِيلٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Utba went to him-saww. He said to him-saww that which they had instructed him to. When he was free from his words and was silent, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Ha Meem [41:1] A Revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful [41:2]’.
فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا فَقُلْ أَنْذَرْتُكُمْ صاعِقَةً مِثْلَ صاعِقَةِ عادٍ وَ ثَمُودَ فَرَجَعَ عُتْبَةُ فَأَخْبَرَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ وَ قَالَ لَقَدْ كَلَّمَنِي بِكَلَامٍ مَا هُوَ بِشِعْرٍ وَ لَا بِسِحْرٍ وَ إِنَّهُ لَكَلَامٌ عَجَبٌ مَا هُوَ بِكَلَامِ النَّاسِ فَوَقَعُوا بِهِ وَ قَالُوا نَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ بِأَجْمَعِنَا
He-saww read it from its beginning until he-saww reached: But if they turn aside, then say: ‘I warn you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt (which struck the people of) Aad and Samood [41:13]. Utba returned and informed them the news, and said, ‘He-saww spoke to me with such a speech, it is neither poetry nor sorcery, and it is a strange speech. It is not speech of the people!’ They talked badly about him-saww and said, ‘We shall go to him-saww together!’
فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا ذَلِكَ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَعَمَدَ لَهُمْ حَتَّى قَامَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِنَّا جَعَلْنا فِي أَعْناقِهِمْ أَغْلالًا فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَجَعَلَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا
When they intended that, Rasool-Allah-saww emerged to them. He-saww deliberated to them until he-saww stood by their heads and said: In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Ya Seen [36:1] By the Wise Quran [36:2], until he-saww reached: Surely, We Made shackles to be in their necks, [36:8], Allah-azwj Struck their hands to their necks. He-azwj Made: a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, [36:9].
فَأَخَذَ تُرَاباً فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمْ وَ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا صَنَعَ بِهِمْ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمْ رَأَوُا الَّذِي صَنَعَ بِهِمْ فَعَجِبُوا وَ قَالُوا مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحَداً قَطُّ أَسْحَرَ مِنْهُ انْظُرُوا مَا صَنَعَ بِنَا.
He-saww grabbed soil and made it to be upon their heads, then he-saww walked away from them and they did not know what he-saww had done with them. When he-saww had left from them, they saw which he-saww had done with them, so they were surprised and they said, ‘We did not see anyone at all more bewitching than him-saww! Look what he-saww has done with us!’’[111] (non-Shia source – (the book) Durr Al Mansour of Al-Suyuti)

And from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The preceding ones are three – the one preceding (first) one to Musa-as was Yoshua Bin Noun, and the preceding (first) one to Isa-as is companion of Yaseen, and the preceding (first) one to Muhammad-saww is Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[112] (non-Shia source – (the book) Durr Al Mansour of Al-Suyuti)

And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The truthful ones are three – Habeeb Al-Najjar, Momin of Aal-e-Yaseen, the one who said: ‘He said, ‘O people! Follow the Rasools! [36:20], and Hizkeel, Momin of people of Pharaoh-la who said: ‘Will you kill a man who is saying, ‘My Lord is Allah’, [40:28], and Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws is their most superior’’.[113] (non-Shia source – (the book) Durr Al Mansour of Al-Suyuti)
ابْنُ عَسَاكِرَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مَا كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ قَطُّ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ يس وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ آسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ.
Ibn Asakir – ‘Three have not disbelieved in Allah-azwj at all – Momin of Aal-e-Yaseen, and Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Aasiya-as, wife of Pharaoh-la’’.[114] (non-Shia source – (the book) Durr Al-Mansour of Al-Suyuti)

And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who recites (Surah) Yaseen and (Surah) Al Safaat on the day of Friday, then he asks Allah-azwj, will be Granted his request’’.[115] (non-Shia source – (the book) Durr Al Mansour of Al-Suyuti)

He will be Graced in the world with as vast as can be from the sustenance, and Allah-azwj Let him be afflicted in his wealth, nor his children, nor his body with any evil from the Pelted Satan-la, nor from an obstinate tyrant.
وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ فِي لَيْلِهِ أَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ شَهِيداً وَ بَعَثَهُ شَهِيداً وَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي دَرَجَةٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ.

He-asws said: ‘O Bara’a! Whenever you want to supplicate to Allah-azwj with His-azwj most Magnificent Name, then recite from beginning of Surah Al Hadeed ten Verse, and end of Surah Al Hashr, then say, ‘O One Who is like this and there isn’t anyone who is like this apart from Him-azwj!

2- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ رَجُلًا ضَرَبَ خِبَاءَهُ عَلَى قَبْرٍ وَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ قَبْرٌ فَقَرَأَ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ فَسَمِعَ صَائِحاً يَقُولُ هِيَ الْمُنْجِيَةُ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ هِيَ الْمُنْجِيَةُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
Ibn Abbas said, ‘A man struck his forehead upon a grave and did not know it was a grave. He read Surah Al Mulk. He heard a caller saying it is the rescuer. He mentioned that to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said: ‘It is the rescuer from Punishment of the grave!’’[189]
3- الدُّرُّ الْمَنْثُورُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنِ اشْتَكَى ضِرْسَهُ فَلْيَضَعْ إِصْبَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لْيَقْرَأْ هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ واحِدَةٍ فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ إِلَى يَفْقَهُونَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَكُمْ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَ الْأَبْصارَ إِلَى تَشْكُرُونَ فَإِنَّهُ يَبْرَأُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Durr Al-Mansour’ –
‘From Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who complains of his tooth (ache), let him place his finger upon it and let him read these two Verses seven times: And He is the One Who Produced you from one soul, so there is a (permanent) stable one and a (temporarily) deposited one. [6:98] – up to: understanding [6:98]; Say: ‘He is the One Who Caused you to grow, and Made for you the hearing, and the sight, – up to – thanking for’ [67:23], so he would be cured by the Permission of Allah-azwj’’.[190] (Non Shia source)
4- الدُّرُّ الْمَنْثُورُ، لِلسَّيُوطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ سُورَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مَا هِيَ إِلَّا ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِرَجُلٍ حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Durr Al-Mansour’ of Al Suyuti, from Abu Hureyra (A well-known fabricator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is a chapter from the Book of Allah-azwj, it is not except of thirty Verses. It will intercede for a man until (his sins) will be Forgiven for him – Surah Al Mulk’’.[191] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سُورَةٌ فِي الْقُرْآنِ خَاصَمَتْ عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى أَدْخَلَتْهُ الْجَنَّةُ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.
And from Anas (well-known fabricator) said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is a Chapter in the Quran which will contend on behalf of its companions until it enters him into the Paradise – Surah Al Mulk’’.[192] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: ضَرَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِنَاهُ عَلَى قَبْرٍ وَ هُوَ لَا يَحْسَبُ أَنَّهُ قَبْرٌ فَإِذَا قَبْرُ إِنْسَانٍ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ الْمُنْجِيَةُ تُنْجِيهِ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ.
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘One of companions of the Prophet-saww struck a shade (tent) upon a grave and he was not reckoning it was a grave, but there was a grave of a person. He recited Surah Al Mulk until he ended it. He came to the Prophet-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and informed him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘It is the preventing rescuer. It rescues from punishment of the grave!’’[193](Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَبَارَكَ هِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.
And from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Surah Al Mulk, it is the preventer from punishment of the grave’’.[194] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ سُورَةُ تَبَارَكَ وَ هِيَ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً وَ قَالَ هِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ فِي الْقُبُورِ.
And from Abu Hureyra (A well-known fabricator), he heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘Surah Al Mulk was Revealed unto me and it is of thirty Verses, the whole in one go’. And he-saww said: ‘It is the preventer (of the punishment) in the grave’’.[195] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أَ لَا أُتْحِفُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ قَالَ بَلَى
And from Ibn Abbas having said to a man, ‘Shall I gift you a Hadeeth you will rejoice with it?’ He said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ اقْرَأْ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَ عَلِّمْهَا أَهْلَكَ وَ جَمِيعَ وُلْدِكَ وَ صِبْيَانَ بَيْتِكَ وَ جِيرَانَكَ فَإِنَّهَا الْمُنْجِيَةُ وَ الْمُجَادِلَةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهَا لِقَارِئِهَا وَ تَطْلُبُ لَهُ أَنْ يُنْجِيَهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَ يَنْجُو بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
He said, ‘Read Surah Al Mulk and teach it to your wife and entirety of your children, and young boys of your house, and your neighbours, for it is the rescuer and the pleader for its reader on the Day of Qiyamah in the Presence of its Lord-azwj, and seek for him to be rescued from Punishment of the Hellfire, and its companion would be rescued by it from punishment of the grave’.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّهَا فِي قَلْبِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww would love it to be in the heart of every person from my-saww community’’.[196] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ مَاتَ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا تَبَارَكَ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ أَتَاهُ الْمَلَكُ فَنَادَتِ السُّورَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ
And from Anas (A well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There was a man from the ones who were before you who died, and there wasn’t anything with him from the Book of Allah-azwj except Surah Al Mulk. When he was placed in his grave the Angel came to him. The Surah called out in his face.
فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّكِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَكِ وَ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكِ وَ لَا لَهُ وَ لَا لِنَفْسِي نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً فَإِنْ أَرَدْتِ هِدَايَةً فَانْطَلِقِي إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَاشْفَعِي لَهُ
He (Angel) said to it, ‘You are from the Book of Allah-azwj and I dislike being bad to you, and I can neither control any benefit nor harm for you nor for him nor for myself. If you want guidance, then go to the Lord-azwj and intercede for him!’
فَتَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ فُلَاناً عَمَدَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ بَيْنِ كِتَابِكَ فَتَعَلَّمَنِي وَ تَلَانِي أَ فَتُحْرِقُهُ أَنْتَ بِالنَّارِ وَ مُعَذِّبُهُ وَ أَنَا فِي جَوْفِهِ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ فَاعِلًا ذَلِكَ بِهِ فَامْحُنِي مِنْ كِتَابِكَ
It will go to the Lord-azwj and say, ‘O Lord-azwj! So and so had deliberated to me from between Your-azwj Book. He learnt me and recited me. Will You-azwj Burn him in the Hellfire and Punish him while I am in his interior? If You-azwj were to Do that with him, then Delete me from Your-azwj Book!’
فَيَقُولُ أَرَاكِ غَضِبْتِ
He-azwj will Say: “I-azwj See you as angry!”
فَيَقُولُ وَ حَقٌّ لِي أَنْ أَغْضَبَ
It will say, ‘And there is a right for me that I get angry!’
فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبِي فَقَدْ وَهَبْتُهُ لَكِ وَ شَفَّعْتُكِ فِيهِ
He-azwj will Say: “Go! I-azwj have hereby Gifted him to you, and have Interceded for you regarding him!”
فَتَجِيءُ سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ فَيَخْرُجُ كَاسِفَ الْبَالِ لَمْ يَحِلَّ مِنْهُ بِشَيْءٍ فَتَجِيءُ فَتَضَعُ فَاهَا عَلَى فِيهِ فَتَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِهَذَا الْفَمِ فَرُبَّمَا تَلَانِي وَ مَرْحَباً بِهَذَا الصَّدْرِ فَرُبَّمَا وَعَانِي وَ مَرْحَباً بِهَاتَيْنِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ فَرُبَّمَا قَامَتَا بِي وَ تُونِسُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَخَافَةَ الْوَحْشَةِ عَلَيْهِ
So Surah Al Mulk will come and extract worries of the mind, not leaving any (harm) from him. It will place its mouth upon his mouth and say, ‘Welcome to the mouth, sometimes it used to recite me, and welcome to this chest, sometimes it used to retain me, and welcome with these two feet, something they stood with me!’ And it would comfort him in his grave fearing the loneliness upon him.
فَلَمَّا حَدَّثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لَمْ يَبْقَ صَغِيرٌ وَ لَا كَبِيرٌ وَ لَا حُرٌّ وَ لَا عَبْدٌ إِلَّا تَعَلَّمَهَا وَ سَمَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُنْجِيَةُ.
When Rasool-Allah-saww narrated with this Hadeeth, there did not remain any young nor old, nor free nor slave except he learned it, and Rasool-Allah-saww Named it as ‘The rescuer’’.[197] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: يُؤْتَى الرَّجُلُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ فَتَقُولُ رِجْلَاهُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْنَا بِسُورَةِ الْمُلْكِ
And from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘(Punishing Angels) would access the man in his grave from direction of his legs. His legs would say, ‘There isn’t any way for you from my direction. He used to stand upon us with Surah Al Mulk!’
ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى مِنْ قِبَلِ صَدْرِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ وَعَانِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ
Then they access from direction of his chest. It would say, ‘There isn’t any way for you from my direction. He used to retain in my Surah Al Mulk!’
ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ فَيَقُولُ لَيْسَ لَكُمْ عَلَى مَا قِبَلِي سَبِيلٌ قَدْ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ بِي سُورَةَ الْمُلْكِ
Then he would be accessed from direction of his head. It would say, ‘There isn’t any way for you from my direction. He used to read Surah Al Mulk with me!’
فَهِيَ الْمَانِعَةُ تَمْنَعُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ هِيَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَقَدْ أَكْثَرَ وَ أَطْيَبَ.
It is the preventer preventing from punishment from the grave, and Surah Al Mulk is in the Torah. One who reads it during a night so he has been frequent and good’’.[198] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ إِذَا مَاتَ أُوقِدَتْ حَوْلَهُ نِيرَانٌ فَتَأْكُلُ كُلُّ نَارٍ مَا يَلِيهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَمَلٌ يَحُولُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهَا
And from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘The deceased when he dies, two flames are ignited around him. Each fire consumes all what is in its way if there does not happen to be any (good) deed forming a barrier between him and it.
وَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا سُورَةً ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً فَأَتَتْهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَأُنِي فَأَتَتْهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُومُ بِي فَأَتَتْهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ جَوْفِهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ وَعَانِي فَأَنْجَتْهُ
And if a man dies and did not happen to have read from the Quran except Surah of thirty Verses, (punishing Angels) would access him from direction of his head. It would say, ‘He used to read me!’ So he would be accessed from direction of his legs. It would say, ‘He used to stand with me!’ He would be accessed from direction of his interior. It would say, ‘He used to retain me!’ Thus it would rescue him’.
قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ أَنَا وَ مَسْرُوقٌ فِي الْمُصْحَفِ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ سُورَةً ثَلَاثِينَ آيَةً إِلَّا تَبَارَكَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I and Masrouq looked into the Quran but could not find any Surah of thirty Verses except Al Mulk’’.[199] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ مَرْفُوعاً يُبْعَثُ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي إِلَّا رَكِبَهَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُوَحِّدُ اللَّهَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا سُورَةً وَاحِدَةً فَيُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ
And from Anas (A well-known fabricator), raising it: ‘A man will be Resurrected on the Day of Qiyamah not having neglected anything from the acts of disobedience except he would have committed it, except that he would have professed Oneness of Allah-azwj and would not have read from the Quran except one Chapter, and he would be Commanded with to the Hellfire.
فَطَارَ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ شَيْءٌ كَالشِّهَابِ فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مِمَّا أَنْزَلْتَ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ- وَ كَانَ عَبْدُكَ هَذَا يَقْرَأُنِي
Something like the flame would fly out from his interior and it would say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am from what You-azwj had Revealed unto Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and this servant of Yours-azwj used to read me!’
فَمَا زَالَتْ تَشْفَعُ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَتْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ هِيَ الْمُنْجِيَةُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.
It will not cease to interceded until it will enter him into the Paradise, and it is the rescuer, Surah Al Mulk’’.[200] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ بِسُورَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الم تَنْزِيلُ وَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.
And from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘The Prophet-saww used to recite in the Friday Salat with Surah Al Jummah, and Surah Al A’ala; and in the morning Salat on the day of Friday Surah Al Sajdah and Surah Al Mulk’’.[201] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي لَا أَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ سُورَةً وَ هِيَ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عِنْدَ نَوْمِهِ كُتِبَ لَهُ بِهَا ثَلَاثُونَ حَسَنَةً وَ مُحِيَ لَهُ بِهَا ثَلَاثُونَ سَيِّئَةً وَ رُفِعَ لَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ دَرَجَةً
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww cannot find in the Book of Allah-azwj any Surah being of thirty Verses (except Surah Al Mulk). One who reads it during his sleep time, thirty good deeds would be written for him due to it, and thirty evil deeds would be deleted from him, and thirty ranks would be raised for him.
وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَبْسُطُ عَلَيْهِ جَنَاحَهُ وَ يَحْفَظُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ حَتَّى يَسْتَيْقِظَ وَ هِيَ الْمُجَادِلَةُ يُجَادِلُ عَنْ صَاحِبِهَا فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ هِيَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ.
And Allah-azwj will Send an Angel from the Angels to him. He will extend his wings upon him and protect him from every evil until he awakens, and it will be the pleader on behalf of its companion in the grave, and is it Surah Al Mulk’’.[202] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَفَعَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَجَباً رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مَاتَ كَانَ كَثِيرَ الذُّنُوبِ مُسْرِفاً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَكُلَّمَا تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْهِ الْعَذَابُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيْهِ أَوْ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ أَقْبَلَتِ السُّورَةُ الَّتِي فِيهَا الطَّيْرُ تُجَادِلُ عَنْهُ الْعَذَابَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَافِظُ عَلَيَّ وَ قَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَاظَبَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُ
And from Anas (A well-known fabricator), ‘I saw a wonder! I saw a man who had died who had been of many sins, having been extravagant upon himself. Every time the Punishment headed to him in his grace from direction of his legs, or from direction of his head, the Surah in which is the bird (Al Mulk) fought against the punishment on his behalf, ‘He used to be preserving upon me, and my Lord-azwj has Promised me that He-azwj will not Punish him!’’
فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ الْعَذَابُ بِهَا وَ كَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ يَتَعَلَّمُونَهَا وَ يَقُولُونَ الْمَغْبُونُ مَنْ لَمْ يَتَعَلَّمْهَا وَ هِيَ سُورَةُ الْمُلْكِ.
So the Punishment would be turned away from him due to it; and it was so that the Emigrants and the Helpers used to learn it and were saying, ‘The embezzled (deprived) is the one who does not learn it’, and it is Surah Al Mulk’’.[203] (Non Shia source)
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَقْرَأُ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ لَا يَدَعُهَا فِي سَفَرٍ وَ لَا حَضَرٍ.
From Ayesha (A well-known fabricator), ‘The Prophet-saww used to read Surah Al Sajdah, and Surah Al Mulk every night, neither leaving it during a journey nor in residence’’.[204] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع كَلِمَاتٌ مَنْ قَالَهُنَّ عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
And from Ali-asws: ‘Phrases one who says these during his expiry would enter the Paradise, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj the Lenient, the Benevolent’, three times. ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], three times. ‘Blessed is the One in Whose Hand is the Kingdom, and He is Able upon all things [67:1]’’.[205] (Non Shia source)
