4- ثو، ثواب الأعمال أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَجَهَرَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ كَانَ كَالشَّاهِرِ سَيْفَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا سِرّاً كَانَ كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ بِدَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ مَحَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلْفَ ذَنْبَةٍ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ.
(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ameyra, from a man,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who reads Surah Al Qadr during Laylat Al Qadr and raises his voice with it would be like the brandisher of his sword in the way of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and one who reads it secretly would be like the one rolling in his blood in the way of Allah-azwj, and the one who reads it ten times, Allah-azwj will Delete from him a thousand sins from his sins’’.[34]

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Al Nahdy, from Ismail Bin Sahl who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Teach me something, when I say it, I would be with you-asws (Imams-asws) in the world and the Hereafter’.
قَالَ فَكَتَبَ بِخَطِّهِ أَعْرِفُهُ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ تِلَاوَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ رَطِّبْ شَفَتَيْكَ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws wrote with his-asws handwriting: ‘Understand it! Frequent from reciting Surah Al Qadr and moisten your lips with seeking the Forgiveness’’.[35]

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’, may the greeting be upon them-asws, – Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Zayd, from Muhammad Bin Bakr Al Azdy,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, and he-asws was advising his-asws companions and his-asws friends: ‘One who were to have an illness with him, let him take a new jar and make the water to be in it, and let him drink the water by himself, and let him read Surah Al Qadr distinctively upon the water, thirty times. Let him drink from that water and let him perform Wud’u, and let him wipe with it, and every time it reduces, he should increase in it, for that will not appear for thirty days except and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Cause him to recover from that disease’’.[36]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Sahl, from Ali Bin Suleyman, from Ahmad Bin Al Fazl Abu Umar Al Haza’a who said,
‘My (financial) situation worsened, so I wrote to Abu Ja’far-asws. He-asws wrote to me: ‘Be habitual in reading Surah Nuh-as’.
قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُهَا حَوْلًا فَلَمْ أَرَ شَيْئاً فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أُخْبِرُهُ بِسُوءِ حَالِي وَ أَنِّي قَدْ قَرَأْتُ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنا نُوحاً إِلى قَوْمِهِ حَوْلًا كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي وَ لَمْ أَرَ شَيْئاً
He (the narrator) said, ‘I read it for a year but did not see anything (improvement), so I wrote to him-asws, informing him-asws of my evil state, ‘I have read Surah Nuh-as for a year just as you-asws had instructed me and did not see anything (improvement)’.
قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ قَدْ وَفَى لَكَ الْحَوْلُ فَانْتَقِلْ عَنْهَا إِلَى قِرَاءَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws wrote to me: ‘The year has been fulfilled for you, so transfer from it to reading Surah Al Qadr’.
قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَمَا كَانَ إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ ابْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فَقَضَى عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ أَجْرَى عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى عِيَالِي وَ وَجَّهَنِي إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ فِي وَكَالَتِهِ بِبَابِ كَلَّاءَ وَ أَجْرَى عَلَيَّ خَمْسَ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I did so, and it wasn’t except a little while until Ibn Abu Dawood for me. He paid off my debts on my behalf and flowed (gifts) upon me and upon my dependants, and diverted me to Al Basra as his representative at Bab Al Kala’a, and gave me five hundred Dirhams.
وَ كَتَبْتُ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ عَلَى يَدَيْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنِّي كُنْتُ سَأَلْتُ أَبَاكَ عَنْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ أَنِّي قَدْ نِلْتُ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي قِرَاءَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ- أَقْتَصِرُ عَلَيْهَا وَحْدَهَا فِي فَرَائِضِي وَ غَيْرِهَا أَمْ أَقْرَأُ مَعَهَا غَيْرَهَا أَمْ لَهَا حَدٌّ أَعْمَلُ بِهِ
And I wrote from Al Basra upon the hands of Ali Bin Mahziyar, to Abu Al Hassan-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, ‘I had asked your-asws father-asws about such and such, and I had complained to him-asws of such and such, and I have achieved that which I loved, so I would love it if you-asws could inform me, O my Master, what should I do regarding reads of Surah Al Qadr during Laylat Al Qadr. Should I shorten upon it alone in my obligatory (Salat) and others, or shall I read something else with it, or is there a limit I can work with?’
فَوَقَّعَ ع وَ قَرَأْتُ التَّوْقِيعَ لَا تَدَعْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَصِيرَهُ وَ طَوِيلَهُ وَ يُجْزِئُكَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ يَوْمَكَ وَ لَيْلَتَكَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
He-asws signed (a letter) and I read the letter: ‘Do not leave from the Quran, its short and its long, and it suffices you from reading Surah Al Qadr one hundred times in your day and your night’’.[37]
8- كا، الكافي سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنِّي قَدْ لَزِمَنِي دَيْنٌ فَادِحٌ فَكَتَبَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ وَ رَطِّبْ لِسَانَكَ بِقِرَاءَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Mansour Bin Al Abbas, from Ismail Bin Sahl who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘I have incurred enormous debts’. He-asws wrote: ‘Frequent from seeking the Forgiveness and moisten your tongue with reading Surah Al Qadr’’.[38]
9- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، قِرَاءَةُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى مَا يُدَّخَرُ وَ يُخْبَى حِرْزٌ لَهُ وَرَدَتْ بِذَلِكَ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنْهُمْ ع.

‘Reading of Surah Al Qadr during Laylat Al Qadr upon what is preserved and hidden is a protection for it. That is referred by a report from them-asws’’.[39]
10- الْمَكَارِمُ، مَنْ أَخَذَ قَدَحاً وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِ مَاءً وَ قَرَأَ فِيهِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ رَشَّ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى ثَوْبِهِ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي سَعَةٍ حَتَّى يَبْلَى ذَلِكَ الثَّوْبُ.
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ –
‘One who takes a cup and makes water to be in it and reads Surah Al Qadr upon it thirty-five times and sprinkles that water upon his clothes will not cease to be is capaciousness until that cloth decays (wears out)’’.[40]
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِ أَدْعِيَتِهِ ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ عِزُّ الدِّينِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ نَاصِرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَدَّادُ الْعَامِلِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ طَرِيقِ النَّجَاةِ عَنِ الْجَوَادِ ع أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ سِتّاً وَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً خَلَقَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَكْتُبُونَ ثَوَابَهَا سِتَّةً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ وَ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ اسْتِغْفَارَهُمْ لَهُ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Al-Kaf’amy said in one of the books of supplication, ‘It is mentioned by the Sheykh, honour of the religion, Al-Hassan Bin Nasir Bin Ibrahim Al-Hadda Al-Aamily in his book, ‘Tareeq Al-Najaat’, from Al-Jawad-asws: ‘The one who reads Surah Al Qadr seventy-six times during every day and night, Allah-azwj will Create a thousand Angels for him writing its Rewards for thirty-six thousand years, and Allah-azwj will Multiply their seeking of Forgiveness for him for two thousand years and thousand times.
وَ تَوْظِيفُ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَوْقَاتٍ الْأَوَّلُ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ وَ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ سَبْعاً لِيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ الثَّانِي بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ عَشْراً لِيَكُونَ فِي ضَمَانِ اللَّهِ إِلَى الْمَسَاءِ الثَّالِثُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ النَّافِلَةِ عَشْراً لِيَنْظُرَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَفْتَحَ لَهُ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ
And that is utilised in seven timings – the first after emergence of the dawn and before the morning Salat seven times, for the Angels to send Salawaat upon him for six days; the second is after the morning Salat ten times, for he would be in Guarantee of Allah-azwj up to the evening; the third is when the sun declines (at midday) before the optional (Salat) ten times, for Allah-azwj will Look at him and Open doors of the sky for him.
الرَّابِعُ بَعْدَ نَوَافِلِ الزَّوَالِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ لِيَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ مِنْهَا بَيْتاً طُولُهُ ثَمَانُونَ ذِرَاعاً وَ كَذَا عَرْضُهُ وَ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعاً سَمْكُهُ وَ حَشْوُهُ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ اسْتِغْفَارَهُمْ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ
The fourth, after optional of the midday eleven times, for Allah-azwj the Exalt to Create for him a house from it, its length being of eighty cubits, and such being its width, and sixty cubits being its height, and Angels would fill it seeking Forgiveness for him up to the Day of Qiyamah, and Allah-azwj will Multiply their seeking of Forgiveness for two thousand years, a thousand times.
الْخَامِسُ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ عَشْراً لِتَمُرَّ عَلَى مِثْلِ أَعْمَالِ الْخَلَائِقِ يَوْماً السَّادِسُ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ سَبْعاً لِيَكُونَ فِي ضَمَانِ اللَّهِ إِلَى أَنْ يُصْبِحَ السَّابِعُ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ لِيَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَلَكاً رَاحَتُهُ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ سَبْعِ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ كُلِّ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ شَعْرَةٌ يَنْطِقُ كُلُّ شَعْرَةٍ بِقُوَّةِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِقَارِئِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
The fifth is after Al-Asr ten times, to pass by upon similar actions of the people of a day; the sixth is after Al-Isha seven times for him to be in the Guarantee of Allah-azwj up to morning; the seventh is when he shelters to his bed, eleven times, for Allah-azwj to Create an Angel from it for him, his palm is larger than seven skies and seven earths in place of every particle from his body there is hair, each hair speaking with strength of the humans and the Jinn seeking Forgiveness for its reader up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[41]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع النُّورُ الَّذِي يَسْعَى بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نُورُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The Noor which would spring in front of the Momin on the Day of Qiyamah, is Noor of Surah Al Qadr’’.[42]
وَ عَنْهُ ص مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي صَلَاةٍ رُفِعَتْ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ مَقْبُولَةً مُضَاعَفَةً وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا ثُمَّ دَعَا رُفِعَ دُعَاؤُهُ إِلَى اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ مُسْتَجَاباً وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا حُبِّبَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَلَوْ طَلَبَ مِنْ رَجُلٍ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ مَالِهِ بَعْدَ قِرَاءَتِهَا حِينَ يُقَابِلُهُ لَفَعَلَ
And from him-saww: ‘One who reads it (Surah Al Qadr) in a Salat, it will be raised in Illiyeen doubled, and one who reads it then supplicates, his supplications will be raised to the Guarded Tablet as Answered; and one who reads it would be beloved to the people. If he were to seek from a man to extract from his wealth after reading it when he faces him, he would do so.
وَ مَنْ خَافَ سُلْطَاناً فَقَرَأَهَا حِينَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ غُلِبَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا حِينَ يُرِيدُ الْخُصُومَةَ أُعْطِيَ الظَّفَرَ وَ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شَفَّعَهُ وَ أَعْطَاهُ سُؤْلَهُ.
And one who fears a ruler, so he reads it when he looks into his face, it will overcome for him, and one who reads it intending the dispute would be granted victory, and one who seeks intercession by it to Allah-azwj the Exalted, He-azwj would Intercede and Grant him his request’’.[43]
وَ قَالَ ع لَوْ قُلْتُ لَصَدَقْتُ إِنَّ قَارِئَهَا لَا يَفْرَغُ مِنْ قِرَاءَتِهَا حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ.
And he-asws said: ‘If I-asws say it, I-asws would be speaking the truth! Its reader (of Surah Al Qadr) will not be free from reading it until Allah-azwj will Write for him freedom from the Hellfire’’.[44]
وَ رَوَى الشَّيْخُ فِي مُتَهَجِّدِهِ قِرَاءَتَهَا بَعْدَ نَافِلَةِ اللَّيْلِ ثَلَاثاً وَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَقْرَؤُهَا عَشْراً فَيَكُونُ أَوْقَاتُهَا تِسْعَةً.
And it is reported by the Sheykh in his (book) ‘Mutahajjid’, ‘Its reading is three times after optional Salat of the night, and the day of Friday after Al-Asr, seeking Forgiveness of Allah-azwj seventy times, then he would recite it ten times, for its timing would be nine’’.[45]
وَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع مَنْ قَرَأَهَا بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ عَشْراً وَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ عَشْراً وَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ [عَشْراً] أَتْعَبَ أَلْفَيْ كاتبه [كَاتِبٍ] ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً.
And from Al-Baqir-asws: ‘One who reads it ten times after the morning, and ten times when the sun declines (midday), and ten times after Al-Asr, two thousand scribes will be fatigues in writing for thirty years’’.[46]
وَ عَنْهُ ع مَا قَرَأَهَا عَبْدٌ سَبْعاً بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ صَفّاً سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً وَ تَرَحَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ رَحْمَةً.
And from him-asws: ‘A servant will not recite it (Surah Al Qadr) seven times after the emergence of dawn except seventy rows (of Angels) will pray seventy Salat(s) upon him, and invoke Mercy upon him, seventy Mercies’’.[47]
وَ عَنْهُ ع مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ رَأَى الْجَنَّةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ.
And from him-asws: ‘One who reads it (Surah Al Qadr) seventy times during a night, will see the Paradise before the morning’’.[48]
وَ عَنْهُ ع مَنْ قَرَأَهَا أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْهُ مَلَكاً يُدْعَى الْقَوِيَّ رَاحَتُهُ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ سَبْعِ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ وَ خَلَقَ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ شَعْرَةٍ وَ خَلَقَ فِي كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ أَلْفَ لِسَانٍ يَنْطِقُ كُلُّ لِسَانٍ بِقُوَّةِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِقَائِلِهَا وَ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى اسْتِغْفَارَهُمْ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ.
And from him-asws: ‘One who recites it a thousand times on the day of Monday, and a thousand times on the day of Thursday, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Create from it an Angel called Al-Qawy. His palm is larger than seven skies and seven earths, and Create in his body a million hairs, and Create a thousand tongues in every hair. Each tongue will speak with strength of the humans and the Jinn seeking Forgiveness for its speaker, and Allah-azwj will Multiply their seeking of Forgiveness a thousand times for two thousand years’’.[49]
وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِذَا رَأَى أَحَداً مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ قَالَ: رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ.
And it was so, whenever Ali-asws saw anyone of his-asws Shias, he-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Mercy the one who reads Surah Al Qadr’’.[50]
وَ عَنْهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ ثَمَرَةٌ وَ ثَمَرَةُ الْقُرْآنِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ كَنْزٌ وَ كَنْزُ الْقُرْآنِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَوْنٌ وَ عَوْنُ الضُّعَفَاءِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُسْرٌ وَ يُسْرُ الْمُعْسِرِينَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ

Tafseer Al Qumi – My father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr,
‘Abu Shakir asked Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Say: ‘O you Kafirs!’ [109:1] I do not worship what you are worshipping [109:2] Nor are you worshipping what I worship [109:3] Nor will I be worshipping what you are worship [109:4] Nor will you be worshipping what I worship [109:5], does the Wise Speak in such a manner and repeats it again and again?’ But there was no answer with Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl with regards to that.
فَدَخَلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ كَانَ سَبَبُ نُزُولِهَا وَ تَكْرَارِهَا أَنَّ قُرَيْشاً قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- تَعْبُدُ إِلَهَنَا سَنَةً وَ نَعْبُدُ إِلَهَكَ سَنَةً وَ تَعْبُدُ إِلَهَنَا سَنَةً وَ نَعْبُدُ إِلَهَكَ سَنَةً
He entered Al-Medina, and asked Abu Abdullah-asws about that, and he-asws said: ‘There was a reason for its Revelation and its repetition. Quraysh had said to the Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘You-saww worship our gods for a year, and we would worship your-saww God for a year, but then you-saww should worship our gods for a year, and we would worship your-saww God for a year.
فَأَجَابَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِمِثْلِ مَا قَالُوا فَقَالَ فِيمَا قَالُوا تَعْبُدُ إِلَهَنَا سَنَةً قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ لا أَعْبُدُ ما تَعْبُدُونَ
Therefore, Allah-azwj Answered them similarly to what they had said. So He-azwj Said regarding what they had said, ‘You-saww should worship our gods for a year’ – regarding what they said, ‘You-saww worship our gods for a year, He-azwj Said: Say: ‘O you Kafirs!’ [109:1] I do not worship what you are worshipping ’[109:1].
وَ فِيمَا قَالُوا وَ نَعْبُدُ إِلَهَكَ سَنَةً وَ لا أَنْتُمْ عابِدُونَ ما أَعْبُدُ
And regarding what they said, ‘We would worship your-saww God for a year’, He-azwj Said: Nor are you worshipping what I worship [109:3].
وَ فِيمَا قَالُوا تَعْبُدُ إِلَهَنَا سَنَةً وَ لا أَنا عابِدٌ ما عَبَدْتُّمْ
And regarding what they said, ‘(Then) you-saww should worship our gods for a year’, He-azwj Said: Nor will I be worshipping what you are worship [109:4].

Then he-saww said: ‘Surah Al Tawheed’. Then he-saww said: ‘Surah Al Falaq’, until he-saww was free from it. Then said to me: ‘Surah Al Naas’, until he-saww was free from it.

And from Ali-asws having said: ‘One night while Rasool-Allah-saww was praying Salat, he-saww placed his-saww hand upon the ground. A scorpion stung him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww hit it with his-saww slipper. When he-saww left, he-saww said: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse the scorpion! It neither leaves a righteous nor anyone else, or a Prophet-saww and anyone else!’
ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمِلْحٍ وَ مَاءٍ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي إِنَاءٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَصُبُّهُ عَلَى إِصْبَعِهِ حَيْثُ لَدَغَتْهُ وَ تَمْسَحُهَا وَ يُعَوِّذُهَا بِالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ
Then he-saww called for sale and water. He-saww made it to be in a container, then went on to pour it upon his finger when he-saww had been stung, and wiped (massaged) it, and he-saww sought Refuge with Al Mawazateyn’.

They said, ‘We are informed by Abu Al Fazl, Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad son of Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with them-asws.

‘From Abdullah Bin Abbas, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied from him, who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww used to fear the punishment of the night and the day until Jibraeel-as came to me with Surah Al Tawheed. So I-saww knew that Allah-azwj will not Punish my-saww community after its Revelation, for it is an attribution of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
فَمَنْ تَعَاهَدَ قِرَاءَتَهَا بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَنَاثَرَ الْبِرُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى مَفْرَقِ رَأْسِهِ وَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ لَهَا دَوِيٌّ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى قَارِئِهَا فَيَغْفِرُهُ اللَّهُ مَغْفِرَةً لَا يُعَذِّبُهُ بَعْدَهَا
One who is committed to read it after every Salat, the righteousness from the sky will be scattered upon the parting of his head, and the tranquillity will descend upon him. There is a buzz for it around the Throne until Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Looks at its reader, so Allah-azwj Forgives him with such a Forgiveness, He-azwj will not Punish him after it!
ثُمَّ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي كِلَاءَةٍ وَ لَهُ مِنْ يَوْمِ يَقْرَؤُهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ خَيْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ يُصِيبُ الْفَوْزَ وَ الْمَنْزِلَةَ وَ الرِّفْعَةَ وَ يُوَسِّعُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الرِّزْقِ وَ يَمُدُّ لَهُ فِي الْعُمُرِ وَ يَكْفِي مِنْ أُمُورِهِ كُلِّهَا وَ لَا يَذُوقُ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ يَنْجُو مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ لَا يَخَافُ أُمُورَهُ إِذَا خَافَ الْعِبَادُ وَ لَا يَفْزَعُ إِذَا فَزِعُوا
Then he will not ask Allah-azwj anything except Allah-azwj will Give it to him and Make him to be in His-azwj Care, and from the day he read it up to the Day of Qiyamah, for him would be goodness of the world and the Hereafter, and he will achieve the success, and the status, and the loftiness, and there will be vastness of the sustenance upon him, and there will be an extension for him in the lifespan, and he will be sufficed for all his matters, and he will not taste the pangs of death, and he will be rescued from punishment of the grave, and he will not fear his matters when the servants will fear, nor panic when they panic.
فَإِذَا وَافَى الْجَمْعَ أَتَوْهُ بِنَجِيبَةٍ خُلِقَتْ مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَيَرْكَبُهَا فَيَمُرُّ بِهِ حَتَّى تَقِفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ يُكْرِمُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ
When he arrives at the gathering, they will come to him with a ride circled from white gems, He will ride it and pass with it until he pauses in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Allah-azwj will Look at him with Mercy and Honour him with the Paradise. He will assume his place from it wherever he so desires.
فَطُوبَى لِقَارِئِهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَقْرَؤُهَا إِلَّا وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ وَ يَكْتُبُونَ لَهُ الْحَسَنَاتِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَمُوتُ
Beatitude be for its reader, for there is no one who reads it except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Allocate one hundred thousand Angels with him. They will protecting him from his front, and from behind him, and they will seek Forgiveness for him and write the good deeds to him up to the day he dies.
وَ يُغْرَسُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ نَخْلَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ نَخْلَةٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ شِمْرَاخٍ عَلَى كُلِّ شِمْرَاخٍ عَدَدَ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ بُسْراً كُلُّ بُسْرَةٍ مِثْلُ قُلَّةٍ مِنْ قِلَالِ هَجَرَ يُضِيءُ نُورُهَا مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ النَّخْلَةُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَحْمَرَ وَ الْبُسْرَةُ مِنْ دُرَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ
And a palm tree will be planted for him for every letter, upon every palm tree there will be one hundred thousand branches, upon each branch would be dates the number grains of a desert, (shining) like an ember from embers. Its light illumination what is between the sky and the earth, and the palm tree is of red gold, and the day is from red gems.
وَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَبْنُونَ لَهُ الْمَدَائِنَ وَ الْقُصُورَ وَ يَمْشِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ هِيَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ وَ يَمُوتُ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ
And Allah-azwj the Exalted Allocated a thousand Angels. They will build for him cities and castles, and he will walk upon the earth and it will rejoice with him, and he will die (his sins) would have been Forgiven for him.
وَ إِذَا قَامَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ قَرِيرَ الْعَيْنِ بِمَا لَكَ عِنْدِي مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ فَتَعْجَبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لِقُرْبِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
And when he stands in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, He-azwj will Say to him: “Receive glad tidings, delight the eyes with what prestige there is for you in My-azwj Presence!” The Angels will be surprised at his nearness from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
وَ إِنَّ قِرَاءَةَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا شَهِدَ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَلَائِكَتِي انْظُرُوا مَا ذَا يُرِيدُ عَبْدِي وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِحَاجَتِهِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ قِرَاءَتَهَا كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ الْقَانِتِينَ
And reading of this Chapter is a freedom from the Hellfire; and the one who reads it, a million Angels will testify and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Say: “My-azwj Angels! Look at what My-azwj servant wants, and he is more knowing with his needs!” And the one who loves to read it, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Write him as being from the successful ones, the obedient ones!
فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا عَبْدُكَ هَذَا يُحِبُّ نِسْبَتَكَ
When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the Angels will say: ‘O our Lord-azwj! This servant of your loves Your-azwj attribution!’
فَيَقُولُ لَا يَبْقَيَنَّ مِنْكُمْ مَلَكٌ إِلَّا شَيَّعَهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
He-azwj will Say: “Not one Angel from you should remain except he should escort him to the Paradise!”
فَيَزُفُّونَهُ إِلَيْهَا كَمَا تُزَفُّ الْعَرُوسُ إِلَى بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا فَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ نَظَرَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى دَرَجَاتِهِ وَ قُصُورِهِ يَقُولُونَ مَا هَذَا أَرْفَعَ مَنْزِلًا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ
They will escort him in a procession just as the bride tends to be escorted in a procession to the house of her husband. When he enters the Paradise and the Angels look at his ranks and his castles, they will say, ‘What is this? It is the loftiest house than of those who were with him!’
فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَرْسَلْتُ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَ أَنْزَلْتُ مَعَهُمْ كُتُبِي وَ بَيَّنْتُ لَهُمْ مَا أَنَا صَانِعٌ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ أَنَا مُعَذِّبُ مَنْ كَذَّبَنِي وَ كُلُّ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي يَصِلُ إِلَى جَنَّتِي وَ لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ دَخَلَ إِلَى جَنَّتِي يَصِلُ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْكَرَامَةِ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: “I-azwj Sent Prophet-saww and Sent down My-azwj Books with them-as, and I-azwj Clarified for them what honours I-saww will be dealing for the one who believes in Me-azwj, and I-azwj will Punish the one who belies Me-azwj, and every one who obeys Me-azwj will arrive to My-azwj Paradise, and it isn’t that every one who enters My-azwj Paradise will arrive to these honours!
أَنَا أُجَازِي كُلًّا عَلَى قَدْرِ عَمَلِهِ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ سُورَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ فَإِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُحِبُّونَ قِرَاءَتَهَا آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ فَلِذَلِكَ فَضَّلْتُهُمْ عَلَى سَائِرِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
I-azwj shall Reward every one based upon his deeds except companions of Surah Al Tawheed. They used to love read it in times of the night and the day. For that I-saww Prefer them over rest of the people of Paradise!”

The one who dies upon its love, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Say: “Who is able upon Rewarding My-azwj servant? I-azwj am the Self-sufficient. I-azwj will Reward him!”
فَيَقُولُ عَبْدِي ادْخُلْ جَنَّتِي فَإِذَا دَخَلَهَا يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنا وَعْدَهُ
So, He-azwj would Say: “My-azwj servant, enter My-azwj Paradise!” When he enters it, he will say: ‘The Praise is for Allah who Made His Promise to be true to us [39:74]’.
طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّ قِرَاءَتَهَا فَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَبْدِي وُفِّقْتَ وَ أَصَبْتَ مَا أَرَدْتَ هَذِهِ جَنَّتِي فَادْخُلْهَا لِتَرَى مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَكَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ النِّعَمِ بِقَرَاءَتِكَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Beatitude be for the one who loves reading it. The one who reads it three times every day, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Say: “My-azwj servant! You have harmonised and achieved what you wanted. This here is My-azwj Paradise! Enter it and you will see what honours and bounties I-azwj have Prepared for you in it due to your reading Surah Al Tawheed!”

He-as said: ‘So and so the Jew has bewitched you-as and has made the sorcery to be in a well of so and so. Send to it, (meaning the well) the most trusted of the people in your-saww presence, and their mightiest in your-saww eye, and he is equal to yourself-saww, until he comes to you-saww with the sorcery!’’

Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws went regarding a need of Rasool-Allah-saww. I went down (into the well), and there the water had turned as if it was water of Henna from the sorcery. I-asws sought it swiftly until I-asws ended to bottom of the well, but I-asws was not successful with it.

The I-asws searched (another) search intricately. I-asws extracted a small wooden box. I-asws came to the Prophet-saww. He-saww said: ‘Open it!’ I-asws opened it and in the wooden box there was a piece of a root of the palm tree in its interior with a string tied, upon it were eleven knots, and on that day Jibraeel-as had Revealed Al Mawazateyn unto the Prophet-saww.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ اقْرَأْهُمَا عَلَى الْوَتَرِ فَجَعَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كُلَّمَا قَرَأَ آيَةً انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا وَ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ نَبِيِّهِ مَا سُحِرَ بِهِ وَ عَافَاهُ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Read the two (Chapters) upon the string’. Every time Amir Al-Momineen-asws read a Verse, a knot loosened, until he-asws was free from it, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Removed from the Prophet-saww what he-saww had been bewitched with, and he-saww recovered’.

And it is reported that Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as came to the Prophet-saww. One of them sat on his-saww right and the other on his-saww left. Jibraeel-as said to Mikaeel-as: ‘How much in pain is the man!’ Mikaeel-as said: ‘He-saww is bewitched!’ Jibraeel-as said: ‘And who has bewitched him-saww?’ He-as said: ‘Labeed Bin A’asam the Jew!’ Then he mentioned the Hadeeth to its end’’.[222]

The Prophet-saww used to view that he-saww had slept with his-saww wife, and he-as hadn’t, and he-saww intended the door and he-saww could not see it until he-saww had touched it with his-saww hand; and the sorcery is true, and the sorcery does not prevail except upon the eyes and the private parts.

قَالَ يَعْنِي قُشُورَ اللَّوْزِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلُوهُ فِي بِئْرٍ بِوَادٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي مَرَاقِي الْبِئْرِ تَحْتَ رَاعُوفَةٍ يَعْنِي حَجَرَ الْمَاتِحِ
He-asws said: ‘Meaning almond peels. Then they inserted it in a well in a valley of Al-Medina in a step of the well under a mound, meaning a stepping stone.
فَأَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ص ثَلَاثاً لَا يَأْكُلُ وَ لَا يَشْرَبُ وَ لَا يَسْمَعُ وَ لَا يُبْصِرُ وَ لَا يَأْتِي النِّسَاءَ فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ نَزَلَ مَعَهُ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا شَأْنُكَ
The Prophet-saww stayed for three days neither eating, nor drinking, nor hearing, nor seeing nor going to the wives. Jibraeel-as descended to him-saww and brought down Al Mawazateyn with him-as. He-as said to him-saww: ‘O Muhammad-saww! What is your-saww concern?’
قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي أَنَا بِالْحَالِ الَّذِي تَرَى
He-saww said: ‘I-saww don’t know. I-saww am in the state which you-as see!’
قَالَ فَإِنَّ أُمَّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ لَبِيدَ بْنَ أَعْصَمَ سَحَرَاكَ
He-as said: ‘Umm Abdullah and Labeed Bin A’asam have bewitched you-saww!’
فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالسِّحْرِ وَ حَيْثُ هُوَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ فَانْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَقْرَأُ آيَةً وَ يَقْرَأُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَنْحَلُّ عُقْدَةٌ حَتَّى قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ آيَةً وَ انْحَلَّتْ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ عُقْدَةً
He-as informed him-saww of the sorcery and where it was. Then Jibraeel-as read: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Say: ‘I seek Refuge with Lord of Al-Falaq [113:1]’. Rasool-Allah-saww said that, so a knot loosened. The he-as did not cease to read Verses and Rasool-Allah-saww read, and a knots kept loosening until he-as had read to him-saww eleven Verses, and eleven knots were loosened.
وَ جَلَسَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ دَخَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا أَخْبَرَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع بِهِ وَ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَأْتِنِي بِالسِّحْرِ
And the Prophet-saww sat down, and Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws entered. He-saww informed him-asws what Jibraeel-as had informed him-saww with, and said: ‘Go and come back with the sorcery!’
فَخَرَجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَجَاءَهُ بِهِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ص فَنَقَضَ ثُمَّ تَفَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى لَبِيدِ بْنِ أَعْصَمَ وَ أُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ فَقَالَ مَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَى مَا صَنَعْتُمْ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws went out and came to him-saww with it. The Prophet-saww instructed with it. He-asws broke it, then he-saww spat upon it and sent for Labeed Bin A’asam and Umm Abdullah the Jewess. He-saww said: ‘What call you to what you did?’
ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى لَبِيدٍ وَ قَالَ لَا أَخْرَجَكَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً
Then Rasool-Allah-saww supplicated against Labeed and said: ‘May Allah-azwj not Extract you from the world safely!’
قَالَ وَ كَانَ مُوسِراً كَثِيرَ الْمَالِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ غُلَامٌ يَسْعَى فِي أُذُنِهِ قُرْطٌ قِيمَتُهُ دِينَارٌ فَجَاذَبَهُ فَخَرَمَ بِهِ أُذُنَ الصَّبِيِّ فَأُخِذَ وَ قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ فَمَاتَ مِنْ وَقْتِهِ.
He-asws said: ‘And he used to be affluent, with a lot of wealth. Then a boy passed by him wearing a ring in his ear valued at a Dinar. It lured him, and he cut the ear of the boy for it, so the boy grabbed him and cut his hand, and he died on the spot’’.[226]

He-saww said: ‘O Uqba! Read Surah Al Falaq and Surah Al Naas, for you will never read any Chapter more Beloved to Allah-azwj and more eloquent than these two. If you are capable of not reading except with these two, then do so!’’[228] (Non Shia source)
وَ عَنْ أَبِي حَابِسٍ الْجُهَنِيِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَابِسٍ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا تَعَوَّذَ بِهِ الْمُتَعَوِّذُونَ

He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’

And Abu Saeed Al-Khudry who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to seek Refuge from (evil) eye of the Jinn, and from (evil) eye of the human. When Surah(s) Al Mawazateyn were Revealed, he-saww took with these two and left whatever was besides that’’.[230] (Non Shia source)

The Verses – (Surah) Aal-e-Imran-as: He is the One Who Revealed the Book unto you; from it are Decisive Verses – these are the Mother of the Book; and others are Allegorical. Then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, so they are following what is allegorical from it, seeking the Fitna and seeking its (personal) interpretation. And none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge. They are saying, ‘We believe in it. It is all from the Presence of our Lord’. And none (would) mention except those with the understanding [3:7].

Then he-as comes out and shakes his-saww wings, so there isn’t any drop dropping from his-as wings except Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Creates an Angel from it glorifying Allah-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Holiness, and exclaiming His-azwj Greatness, and Praising Him-azwj up to the Day of Qiyamah!

And as for Ha Meem [40:1], its meaning is, ‘The Praised, the Glorified!’; and as for Ha Meem [42:1] Ayn Seen Qaf [42:2], its meaning is, ‘The Lenient, the Rewarder, the Knower, the All-Hearing, the All-Powerful, the Strong!’, and as for Qaf! [50:1], it is the mountain surrounding the earth, and greenness of the sky is from it, and by it, Allah-azwj Withholds the earth from shaking with its inhabitants!

And as for Noon [68:1], it is a river in the Paradise. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Freeze!”, so it became ink. Then the Mighty and Majestic Said to the Pen: “Write!” So the Pen wrote in the Guarded Tablet what had happened and what will be happening up to the Day of Qiyamah. The ink was ink of light, and the Pen was a pen of light, and the Tablet was a tablet of light!’

Sufyan (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Explain to me the matter of the (Guarded) Tablet, and the Pen, and the Ink, a clear explanation, and teach me from what Allah-azwj has Taught you-asws!’

He-asws said: ‘O Ibn Saeed! Had you not been rightful to be answered, I-asws would not have answered you! The Ink (Noon) is an Angel delivering to the Pen, and it is (also) and Angel, and the Pen delivers to the (Guarded) Tablet, and it is (also) an Angel, and the Tablet delivers to Israfeel-as delivering to Mikaeel-as, and Mikaeel-as delivers to Jibraeel-as, and Jibraeel-as delivers to the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-as!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي قُمْ يَا سُفْيَانُ فَلَا آمَنُ عَلَيْكَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said to me: ‘Arise, O Sufyan, for there is no safety upon you!’’[246]

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riab, from Muhammad Bin Qays,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws having said: ‘Hubay Bin Akhtab, and Abu Yasir Bin Akhtab, and a number of Jews from the people of Najran came to Rasool-Allah-saww. They said to him-saww, ‘Isn’t Alif Lam Meem [2:1] among what you-saww mentioned, among what has been Revealed to you-saww?’
قَالَ بَلَى
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالُوا أَتَاكَ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ
They said, ‘Jibraeel-as came to you-saww with it from the Presence of Allah-azwj?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالُوا لَقَدْ بُعِثَ أَنْبِيَاءُ قَبْلَكَ مَا نَعْلَمُ نَبِيّاً مِنْهُمْ أَخْبَرَ مَا مُدَّةُ مُلْكِهِ وَ مَا أَكَلَ أُمَّتُهُ غَيْرَكَ
They said, ‘Prophets-as have been Sent before you-saww. We don’t know of any Prophet-saww from them having informed what the extent of his-as kingdom would be and what his-as community would be consuming, apart from you-saww!’’
قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ الْأَلِفُ وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّامُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَ الْمِيمُ أَرْبَعُونَ فَهَذِهِ إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً فَعَجَبٌ مِمَّنْ يَدْخُلُ فِي دِينٍ مُدَّةُ مُلْكِهِ وَ أَكْلِ أُمَّتِهِ إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً
He-asws said: ‘Hubay Bin Akhtab turned to his companions. He said to them, ‘The (letter) ‘Alif’ (equates to) one, and the ‘Laam’ (equates to) thirty, and the ‘Meem’ is forty. So, this is seventy-one years. I am surprised at the ones entering into a religion the term of its kingdom and consumption of its community is (only for) seventy-one years!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ مَعَ هَذَا غَيْرُهُ
He-asws said: ‘Then he faced towards Rasool-Allah-saww. He said to him-saww, ‘O Muhammad-saww! Is there any other with this?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ فَهَاتِهِ
He said, ‘Give it!’
قَالَ المص
He-saww said: ‘Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1]’.

He said, ‘This is heavier and longer. The (letter) ‘Alif’ is one, and the ‘Laam’ is thirty, and the ‘Meem’ is forty, and the ‘Saad’ is ninety, and this (totals) one hundred and sixty-ones years.’
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص هَلْ مَعَ هَذَا غَيْرُهُ
Then he said to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘Is there any other with it?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ هَاتِ
He said, ‘Give!’
قَالَ الر
He-saww said: ‘Alif Lam Mim Ra [13:1]’.
قَالَ هَذَا أَثْقَلُ وَ أَطْوَلُ الْأَلِفُ وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّامُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَ الرَّاءُ مِائَتَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَهَلْ مَعَ هَذَا غَيْرُهُ
He said, ‘This is heavier and longer! The (letter) ‘Alif’ is one, and the ‘Laam’ is thirty, and the ‘Ra’ is two hundred’. Then he said to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘Is there any other with this?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ هَاتِ
He said, ‘Give!’
قَالَ المر
He-saww said: Alif Lam Meem Ra [13:1]’.
قَالَ هَذَا أَثْقَلُ وَ أَطْوَلُ الْأَلِفُ وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّامُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَ الْمِيمُ أَرْبَعُونَ وَ الرَّاءُ مِائَتَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَهَلْ مَعَ هَذَا غَيْرُهُ
He said, ‘This is heavier and longer! The (letter) ‘Alif’ is one, and the ‘Laam’ is thirty, and the ‘Meem’, is forty, and the ‘Ra’ is two hundred’. Then he said, ‘Is there any other with this?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-saww said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ لَقَدِ الْتَبَسَ عَلَيْنَا أَمْرُكَ فَمَا نَدْرِي مَا أُعْطِيتَ ثُمَّ قَامُوا عَنْهُ
He said, ‘Your-saww matter is confusing upon us, so we don’t know what You-azwj have been Given!’ Then they got up.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو يَاسِرٍ لِحُيَيٍّ أَخِيهِ وَ مَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ مُحَمَّداً قَدْ جَمَعَ هَذَا كُلَّهُ وَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ
Then Abu Yasir said to his brother Hubay, ‘And what would make you know? Perhaps Muhammad-saww has gathered all of it and more than it!’’
فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِمْ مِنْهُ آياتٌ مُحْكَماتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ وَ أُخَرُ مُتَشابِهاتٌ وَ هِيَ تَجْرِي فِي وُجُوهٍ أُخَرَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَا تَأَوَّلَ بِهِ حُيَيُّ بْنُ أَخْطَبَ وَ أَخُوهُ أَبُو يَاسِرٍ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ.
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding them: from it are Decisive Verses – these are the Mother of the Book; and others are Allegorical. [3:7], and it flows upon another aspect, upon other than what Hubay Bin Akhtab and his brother Abu Yasir and his companions had interpreted’’.[247]

ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِقَوْلِهِ قُلْ لَئِنِ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْإِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ عَلى أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هذَا الْقُرْآنِ لا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَ لَوْ كانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيراً
Then He-azwj Clarified that they would not be able upon it, by His-azwj Words Say: If the humans and jinn should combine together to bring the like of this Quran, they would not (be able to) bring the like of it, even though they were aiders of each other [17:88].
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ الم أَيِ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي افْتَتَحَ بالم هُوَ ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرْتُ بِهِ مُوسَى فَمَنْ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَأَخْبَرُوا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنِّي سَأُنْزِلُهُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ كِتَاباً عَزِيزاً لا يَأْتِيهِ الْباطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ لا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ
Then the Exalted Said: Alif Lam Meem “[2:1] – He-asws (Ali-asws) is the Quran which begins with Alif Lam Meem [2:1] – He-asws (Ali-asws) is that Book which Musa-as was informed with, and the ones after him-as from the Prophets-as, and they-as informed the Children of Israel that I-azwj would be Revealing unto you-saww – O Muhammad-saww – an Arabic Book ‘Falsehood has not come to it from before it nor (would it come) from after it; (it is) a Revelation from the Wise, the Praised One” [41:42].
لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ لِظُهُورِهِ عِنْدَهُمْ كَمَا أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابٌ لَا يَمْحُوهُ الْبَاطِلُ يَقْرَؤُهُ هُوَ وَ أُمَّتُهُ عَلَى سَائِرِ أَحْوَالِهِمْ
There is no doubt therein [2:2] – There is no doubt in it that it would be appearing in your presence just as their Prophets-as had informed them: ‘Muhammad-saww, such a Book would be Revealed unto him-saww that the falsehood would not (be able to) obliterate it. He-saww and his-saww community would be reciting it upon all their situations.
هُدىً بَيَانٌ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ وَ يَتَّقُونَ تَسْلِيطَ السَّفَهِ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا عَلِمُوا مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ عِلْمُهُ عَمِلُوا بِمَا يُوجِبُ لَهُمْ رِضَا رَبِّهِمْ
A Guidance – and explanation from the straying for the pious who are fearing the grave sins, and are fearing the domination of the foolishness upon themselves until when they learn what is Obligatory upon them to learn, learning what would Obligated the Pleasure of their Lord-azwj for them.
قَالَ وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع- ثُمَّ الْأَلِفُ حَرْفٌ مِنْ حُرُوفٍ قَوْلِكَ اللَّهُ دَلَّ بِالْأَلِفِ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ اللَّهُ وَ دَلَّ بِاللَّامِ عَلَى قَوْلِكَ الْمَلِكُ الْعَظِيمُ الْقَاهِرُ لِلْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ دَلَّ بِالْمِيمِ عَلَى أَنَّهُ الْمَجِيدُ الْمَحْمُودُ فِي كُلِّ أَفْعَالِهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The ‘Alif’ is a letter from the letters of the Words of Allah-azwj. It is indicated by the ‘Alif’ upon your speech, ‘Allah-azwj’; and it is indicated by the ‘Laam’ upon your speech, ‘The Magnificent King, the Compeller to the creatures altogether’; and it is indicated by the ‘Meem’ upon that He-azwj the Glorious, the Praised One in every Deed of His-azwj.
وَ جَعَلَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ حُجَّةً عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا بَعَثَ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِمْ قَوْمٌ إِلَّا أَخَذُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُهُودَ وَ الْمَوَاثِيقَ لَيُؤْمِنُنَّ بِمُحَمَّدٍ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الْمَبْعُوثِ بِمَكَّةَ الَّذِي يُهَاجِرُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ يَأْتِي بِكِتَابٍ بِالْحُرُوفِ الْمُقَطَّعَةِ افْتِتَاحُ بَعْضِ سُوَرِهِ
And this Word (Alif Lam Meem [2:1]) is Made to be a proof upon the Jews, and that is because Allah-azwj, when He-azwj Sent Musa-as Bin Imran-as, then the Prophets-as from after him-as to the Children of Israel, there did not happen to be any people among them except that they-as took the pact and the covenant upon them, that they would be believing in Muhammad-saww, the Arab, and the one (to be) Sent at Makkah, who would be emigrating to Al-Medina, would be Given the Book with the abbreviated letters to beginning some of its Chapters.
يَحْفَظُهُ أُمَّتُهُ فَيَقْرَءُونَهُ قِيَاماً وَ قُعُوداً وَ مُشَاةً وَ عَلَى كُلِّ الْأَحْوَالِ يُسَهِّلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حِفْظَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ
His-saww community would preserve it and they would be reciting it standing, and sitting, and walking, and upon every state. Allah-azwj would Ease its memorisation upon them.
وَ يَقْرِنُونَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص أَخَاهُ وَ وَصِيَّهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع الْآخِذَ عَنْهُ عُلُومَهُ الَّتِي عَلَّمَهَا وَ الْمُتَقَلِّدَ عَنْهُ لِأَمَانَاتِهِ الَّتِي قَلَّدَهَا وَ مُذَلِّلَ كُلِّ مَنْ عَانَدَ مُحَمَّداً بِسَيْفِهِ الْبَاتِرِ
And He-azwj Paired Muhammad-saww with his-saww brother, his-saww successor Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, the taker of his-saww knowledge from him-saww which he-saww had learnt it, and the one collared from him-saww with the Imamate which he-saww collared him-asws with, and he-asws humiliated everyone who was inimical to Muhammad-saww by his-asws sharply cutting sword.
وَ مُفْحِمَ كُلِّ مَنْ جَادَلَهُ وَ خَاصَمَهُ بِدَلِيلِهِ الْقَاهِرِ يُقَاتِلُ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَقُودَهُمْ إِلَى قَبُولِهِ طَائِعِينَ وَ كَارِهِينَ
And he-asws made to understand everyone who argued with him-asws debated with him-asws with the evidence of the Compeller. He-saww fought the enemies of Allah-azwj upon the Revelation of the Book of Allah-azwj until he-saww seated them to its acceptance, willing and unwillingly.
ثُمَّ إِذَا صَارَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص إِلَى رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ارْتَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ أَعْطَاهُ ظَاهِرَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ حَرَّفُوا تَأْوِيلَاتِهِ وَ غَيَّرُوا مَعَانِيَهُ وَ وَضَعُوهَا عَلَى خِلَافِ وُجُوهِهَا قَاتَلَهُمْ بَعْدُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ إِبْلِيسُ الْغَاوِي لَهُمْ هُوَ الْخَاسِرَ الذَّلِيلَ الْمَطْرُودَ الْمَغْلُوبَ:
Then, when Muhammad-saww went to the Pleasure of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and most of the ones who had obeyed him-saww manifesting the Eman reneged, and altered its explanation, and changed its meanings, and placed it upon its different perspectives, he-asws fought against them after him-saww, upon its explanation, until Iblees-la was the seducer for them, and he-la is the loser, the disgraced, the rejected, the overcome.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ أَظْهَرَهُ بِمَكَّةَ ثُمَّ سَيَّرَهُ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَظْهَرَهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ وَ جَعَلَ افْتِتَاحَ سُورَتِهِ الْكُبْرَى بِالم يَعْنِي الم ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ وَ هُوَ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي أَخْبَرْتُ أَنْبِيَائِيَ السَّالِفِينَ أَنِّي سَأُنْزِلُهُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ
He-asws said: ‘When Allah-azwj Sent Muhammad-saww, and he-saww appeared at Makkah, then he-saww travelled from it to Al-Medina and appeared at it, then He-azwj Sent the Book unto him-saww and Made the beginning of its big Chapter with Alif Lam Meem [2:1] – meaning Alif Lam Meem [2:1] that is the Book [2:2] – Which I-azwj Informed My-azwj Prophets-as, the ancient ones, that I-azwj would be Revealing unto you-saww, O Muhammad-saww, there is no doubt therein [2:3].
فَقَدْ ظَهَرَ كَمَا أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِهِ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُمْ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً يُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابٌ مُبَارَكٌ لَا يَمْحُوهُ الْبَاطِلُ يَقْرَؤُهُ هُوَ وَ أُمَّتُهُ عَلَى سَائِرِ أَحْوَالِهِمْ
It has become apparent – just as I-azwj had Informed their Prophets-as with it – that Muhammad-saww, the Blessed Book would be Revealed unto him-saww. The falsehood would not obliterate it. He-saww and his-saww community would be reciting it upon all of their situations.
ثُمَّ الْيَهُودُ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ عَنْ جِهَتِهِ وَ يَتَأَوَّلُونَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ جِهَتِهِ وَ يَتَعَاطَوْنَ التَّوَصُّلَ إِلَى عِلْمِ مَا قَدْ طَوَاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ حَالِ أَجَلِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ كَمْ مُدَّةُ مُلْكِهِمْ
Then the Jews altered it and were explaining it upon a different aspect, and were abusing the arrival to the knowledge what Allah-azwj had hidden from them, from the state of the term of this community and how much would be the term of their kingdom.
فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ فَوَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيّاً ع مُخَاطَبَتَهُمْ فَقَالَ قَائِلُهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ مَا يَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ حَقّاً لَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا كَمْ قَدْرُ مُلْكِ أُمَّتِهِ هُوَ إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً الْأَلِفُ وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّامُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَ الْمِيمُ أَرْبَعُونَ
A group of them came to Rasool-Allah-saww, and Rasool-Allah-saww made Ali-asws in charge of addressing them. Their speaker said, ‘If it was so that what Muhammad-saww is saying was true, so he-saww had taught you all a measurement of the kingdom of his-saww community that it would be of seventy-one years – the ‘Alif’ being one, and the ‘Laam’ being thirty, and the ‘Meem’ being forty’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِالمص وَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘And what would you be doing with Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1], and it has already been Revealed unto him-saww?’
قَالُوا هَذِهِ إِحْدَى وَ سِتُّونَ وَ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ
They said, ‘This is one hundred and sixty-one years’.
قَالَ فَمَا ذَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِالر وَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ
He-asws said: ‘What would you be doing with Alif Lam Ra [10:1], and it has already been Revealed unto him-saww?’
فَقَالُوا هَذِهِ أَكْثَرُ هَذِهِ مِائَتَانِ وَ إِحْدَى وَ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً
They said, ‘This is more. This is two hundred and thirty-one years’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ المر
Ali-asws said: ‘So what would you be doing with the one-saww upon whom Alif Lam Mim Ra [13:1] is Revealed?’
قَالُوا هَذِهِ مِائَتَانِ وَ إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً
They said, ‘This is two hundred and seventy-one years’.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَوَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ لَهُ أَوْ جَمِيعُهَا لَهُ
Ali-asws said: ‘So, is one of these for him-saww, or is the total of these for him-saww?’
فَاخْتَلَطَ كَلَامُهُمْ فَبَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ لَهُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا وَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ بَلْ يُجْمَعُ لَهُ كُلُّهَا وَ ذَلِكَ سَبْعُمِائَةٍ وَ أَرْبَعُ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ الْمُلْكُ إِلَيْنَا يَعْنِي إِلَى الْيَهُودِ
Their speeches were mixed. Some of them said, ‘One of these’, and the others said, ‘But all of these would be summed up for him-saww, and that would be seven hundred and thirty four years, then the kingdom would revert back to us’ – meaning, to the Jews.
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَ كِتَابٌ مِنْ كُتُبِ اللَّهِ نَطَقَ بِهَذَا أَمْ آرَاؤُكُمْ دَلَّتْكُمْ عَلَيْهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘Is there a Book from the Books of Allah-azwj speaking with this, or is your own opinions pointing you all upon it?’
فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ نَطَقَ بِهِ وَ قَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ بَلْ آرَاؤُنَا دَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ
Some of them said, ‘A Book of Allah-azwj speaks with it’, and the others from them said, ‘But, our opinions pointed us upon it’.
Ali-asws said: ‘Then come with the Book from the Presence of Allah-azwj speaking with what you all are saying’. So, they were frustrated from mentioning that and said to the other, ‘Point us upon the correctness of this opinion’. They said, ‘The correctness of our opinion it is evidence that this is the accounting of Al-Jamal. [256]
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَأْتُوا بِالْكِتَابِ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يَنْطِقُ بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَعَجَزُوا عَنْ إِيرَادِ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ لِلْآخَرِينَ فَدُلُّونَا عَلَى صَوَابِ هَذَا الرَّأْيِ فَقَالُوا صَوَابُ رَأْيِنَا دَلِيلُهُ أَنَّ هَذَا حِسَابُ الْجُمَّلِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع كَيْفَ دَلَّ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ وَ لَيْسَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحُرُوفِ إِلَّا مَا اقْتَرَحْتُمْ بِلَا بَيَانٍ أَ رَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ قِيلَ لَكُمْ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْحُرُوفَ لَيْسَتْ دَالَّةً عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمُدَّةِ لِمُلْكِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ لَكِنَّهَا دلالة [دَالَّةٌ] عَلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ قَدْ لُعِنَ بِعَدَدِ هَذَا الْحِسَابِ أَوْ أَنَّ عَدَدَ ذَلِكَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ وَ مِنَّا بِعَدَدِ هَذَا الْحِسَابِ دَرَاهِمُ أَوْ دَنَانِيرُ أَوْ أَنَّ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ دَيْنٌ عَدَدَ مَا لَهُ مِثْلَ عَدَدِ هَذَا الْحِسَابِ
Ali-asws said: ‘How is your evidence upon what you are saying, and there isn’t in these letters what you are suggesting with without an explanation? What would be your view if it was said to you all that the number of that, for everyone from us and from you, with the number of this accounting, are Dirhams or Dinars, or that there is a debt for me-asws upon every one of you, the number of his wealth like the number of this accounting, or that every one of you has been cursed with the number of this accounting?’
قَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتَهُ مَنْصُوصاً عَلَيْهِ فِي الم وَ المص وَ الر وَ المر
They said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan-asws! There isn’t from what you-asws are mentioning, setting forth upon it, with regards to Alif Lam Meem [2:1] and Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1] and Alif Lam Ra [10:1] and Alif Lam Mim Ra [13:1].
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ لَا شَيْءَ مِمَّا ذَكَرْتُمُوهُ مَنْصُوصٌ عَلَيْهِ فِي الم وَ المص وَ الر وَ المر فَإِنْ بَطَلَ قَوْلُنَا لِمَا قُلْنَا بَطَلَ قَوْلُكَ لِمَا قُلْتَ
Ali-asws said: ‘And there is nothing from what you are mentioning it, set forth upon it, with regards to Alif Lam Meem [2:1] and Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1] and Alif Lam Ra [10:1] and Alif Lam Mim Ra [13:1], so it would invalidate our-asws words of what we-asws said, or invalidation of your-asws words of what you-asws said’.
فَقَالَ خَطِيبُهُمْ وَ مِنْطِيقُهُمْ لَا تَفْرَحْ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنْ عَجَزْنَا عَنْ إِقَامَةِ حُجَّةٍ فِيمَا تَقُولُهُنَّ عَلَى دَعْوَانَا فَأَيُّ حُجَّةٍ لَكَ فِي دَعْوَاكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَجْزَنَا حُجَّتَكَ فَإِذَا مَا لَنَا حُجَّةٌ فِيمَا نَقُولُ وَ لَا لَكُمْ حُجَّةٌ فِيمَا تَقُولُونَ
Their preacher and their speaker said, ‘Do not be happy, O Ali-asws, that you-asws have frustrated us from establishing a proof upon our claim. So which proof is there in your-asws claim, except that you-asws are making our frustration as your-asws proof, as there is neither a proof in what we are saying nor is there a proof for you all in what you-asws are saying’.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع لَا سَوَاءَ إِنَّ لَنَا حُجَّةً هِيَ الْمُعْجِزَةُ الْبَاهِرَةُ
Ali-asws said: ‘They are not the same, and that for us there is a proof, it is the remarkable miracle’.
ثُمَّ نَادَى جِمَالَ الْيَهُودِ يَا أَيَّتُهَا الْجِمَالُ اشْهَدِي لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ لِوَصِيِّهِ فَتَبَادَرَ الْجِمَالُ صَدَقْتَ صَدَقْتَ يَا وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كَذَبَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْيَهُودُ
Then Jamaal the Jew called out, ‘O you camels! Testify for Muhammad-saww and his-saww successor-asws!’ So the camels kept on saying, ‘You-asws speak the truth! You-asws speak the truth, O successor-asws of Muhammad-saww, and these Jews are lying!’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع هَؤُلَاءِ جِنْسٌ مِنَ الشُّهُودِ يَا ثِيَابَ الْيَهُودِ الَّتِي عَلَيْهِمْ اشْهَدِي لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ لِوَصِيِّهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘This is one genus from the witnesses. O clothes of the Jews, which are upon them! Testify for Muhammad-saww and for his-saww successor-asws!’
فَنَطَقَتْ ثِيَابُهُمْ كُلُّهَا صَدَقْتَ صَدَقْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَقّاً وَ أَنَّكَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَصِيُّهُ حَقّاً لَمْ يُثْبِتْ مُحَمَّدٌ قَدَماً فِي مَكْرُمَةٍ إِلَّا وَطِئْتَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ قَدَمِهِ بِمِثْلِ مَكْرُمَتِهِ فَأَنْتُمَا شَقِيقَانِ مِنْ أَشْرَفِ أَنْوَارِ اللَّهِ فَمُيِّزْتُمَا اثْنَيْنِ وَ أَنْتُمَا فِي الْفَضَائِلِ شَرِيكَانِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
So, their clothes spoke, all of them, ‘You-asws speak the truth! You-asws speak the truth, O Ali-asws! We testify that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj truly, and you-asws, O Ali-asws, are his-saww successor truly. A foot is not affirmed for Muhammad-saww in nobility except you-asws tread upon the place of his-saww foot with the like of his-saww nobility. Thus, both of you-asws are two brothers from the shining Lights of Allah-azwj the Exalted. (Although) you are distinguished as two, you are participants in the merits, except that there would be no Prophet-as after Muhammad-saww’.
فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ خَرَسَ ذَلِكَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَ آمَنَ بَعْضُ النَّظَّارَةِ مِنْهُمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ غَلَبَ الشَّقَاءُ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَ سَائِرِ النَّظَّارَةِ الْآخَرِينَ فَذَلِكَ مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَمَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ وَصِيُّ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص عَنْ قَوْلِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
During that, the Jews were dumbstruck, and some of the onlookers from them expressed belief in Rasool-Allah-saww, and the misery overcame the Jews and the rest of the other onlookers. Thus, that is what Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: There is no doubt therein [2:2]. It is just as Muhammad-saww said, and the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww about the words of Muhammad-saww, about the Words of the Lord-azwj of the worlds.
ثُمَّ قَالَ هُدىً بَيَانٌ وَ شِفَاءٌ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ مِنْ شِيعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ- وَ عَلَى أَنَّهُمُ اتَّقَوْا أَنْوَاعَ الْكُفْرِ فَتَرَكُوهَا وَ اتَّقَوُا الذُّنُوبَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ فَرَفَضُوهَا وَ اتَّقَوْا إِظْهَارَ أَسْرَارِ اللَّهِ وَ أَسْرَارِ أَزْكِيَاءِ عِبَادِهِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَكَتَمُوهَا وَ اتَّقَوْا سَتْرَ الْعُلُومِ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا الْمُسْتَحِقِّينَ لَهَا وَ فِيهِمْ نَشَرُوهَا.
Then He-azwj Said: A Guidance – an explanation and a healing for the pious from the Shias of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws. They are fearing a variety of the disbeliefs and they are leaving it, and are fearing the grave sins and are rejecting these, and are fearing the manifestation of the Secrets of Allah-azwj, and the secrets of the pious ones of His-azwj servants, the successors-asws after Muhammad-saww, so they are concealing it, and are fearing veiling the knowledge from its rightful ones, the ones deserving of it, and among them, they are publicising it’’.[257]

‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The Quran, all of it is eloquent, and its esoteric is concise’’.[258]
قال الصدوق رحمه الله يعني بذلك من وراء آيات التوبيخ و الوعيد آيات الرحمة و الغفران.
Note – Al-Sadouq, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘It means by that, from behind the Verses of the Rebuke and the Threat are Verses of Mercy and Forgiveness’.

Tafseer Al Qummi –
Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Send His-azwj Prophet-saww with meaning you and make the neighbour hear (meaning addressing the first person and meaning the second)’’.[259]

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – My father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Hassan, from Ibn Mihran, from Ibn Al Batainey, from his father who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj has been abbreviated in Mother of the Book’’.[260]
14- ك، إكمال الدين قَدْ غَيَّبَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى فِي أَوَائِلِ سُوَرٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ –
‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Hidden His-azwj Magnificent Name which, whenever it is supplicated with, it is Answered, and when it is requested with, it is Given, in the early (beginning) Chapters of the Quran.
فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ الم وَ المر وَ الر وَ المص وَ كهيعص وَ حم عسق وَ طس وَ طسم وَ مَا أَشْبَهَ ذَلِكَ لِعِلَّتَيْنِ
The Mighty and Majestic Said: Alif Lam Meem [2:1] and Alif Lam Meem Ra [13:1], and Alif Lam Ra [10:1] and Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1] and Kaf Ha Ya Ayn Suad [19:1], and Ha Meem [42:1] and Ayn Seen Qaf [42:2], and Ta Sin [27:1], and Ta Sin Meem [26:1], and what resembles that, due to two reasons.
إِحْدَاهُمَا أَنَّ الْكُفَّارَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِي غِطَاءٍ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ هُوَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِدَلِيلِ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْراً رَسُولًا وَ كَانُوا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لِلْقُرْآنِ
One of these is that the Kafirs, the Polytheists, their eyes were in a covering from doing Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he (Zikr) is the Prophet-saww, by the evidence of Words of the Exalted: Allah has Sent down to you a Zikr [65:10] A Rasool [65:11], and they were not tolerating (listening) to the Quran.
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَوَائِلِ سُوَرٍ مِنْهُ اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ بِحُرُوفٍ مَقْطُوعَةٍ وَ هِيَ مِنْ حُرُوفِ كَلَامِهِمْ وَ لُغَتِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تَجْرِ عَادَتُهُمْ بِذِكْرِهَا مَقْطُوعَةً فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوهَا تَعَجَّبُوا مِنْهَا وَ قَالُوا نَسْمَعُ مَا بَعْدَهَا تَعَجُّباً فَاسْتَمَعُوا مَا بَعْدَهَا
So, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed in the early (beginning) Chapters from it, His-azwj Magnificent Name in abbreviated letters, and it is from letters of their speech, and it was not customary for them that these be mentioned in abbreviation. When they heard it, they were surprised from it and said, ‘We shall listen to what is after it, wondering, therefore listen intently to what is after it!’
فَتَأَكَّدَتِ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى الْمُنْكِرِينَ وَ ازْدَادَ أَهْلُ الْإِقْرَارِ بِهِ بَصِيرَةً وَ تَوَقَّفَ الْبَاقُونَ شُكَّاكاً لَا هِمَّةَ لَهُمْ إِلَّا الْبَحْثَ عَمَّا شَكُّوا فِيهِ وَ فِي الْبَحْثِ الْوُصُولُ إِلَى الْحَقِّ
So, the argument was emphasised upon the deniers and the people of acceptance were increased in insight by it, and the remainder paused in doubt, there being no courage for them except to inquire about what they were doubting in, and in the inquiry, they could reach to the truth.
وَ الْعِلَّةُ الْأُخْرَى فِي إِنْزَالِ أَوَائِلِ هَذِهِ السُّوَرِ بِالْحُرُوفِ الْمَقْطُوعَةِ لِيَخْتَصَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهَا أَهْلَ الْعِصْمَةِ وَ الطَّهَارَةِ فَيُقِيمُونَ بِهِ الدَّلَالَةَ وَ يُظْهِرُونَ بِهِ الْمُعْجِزَاتِ
And the other reason in the Revelation being in these early (beginning) Chapters with abbreviated letters is to specialise the people of infallibility and the purity to recognise these, so they-asws can be establishing the evidence with it and manifesting the miracles by it.
وَ لَوْ عَمَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِمَعْرِفَتِهَا جَمِيعَ النَّاسِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ ضِدَّ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ فَسَادَ التَّدْبِيرِ وَ كَانَ لَا يُؤْمَنُ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْمَعْصُومِ إِنْ يَدْعُو بِهَا عَلَى نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنٍ مُمْتَحَنٍ ثُمَّ لَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ لَا تَقَعَ الْإِجَابَةُ بِهَا مَعَ وَعْدِهِ وَ اتِّصَافِهِ بِأَنَّهُ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
And if Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted had Generalised entirety of the people with recognising it, that would have been opposite to the wisdom and spoiling of the arrangement, and there would have been no safety from a non-infallible person to supplicate with it against a Messenger Prophet-as, or a Tested Momin, then it would not have been allowed to cut off the Answer to it with His-azwj Promise, and His-azwj Description that He-azwj does not Break the Promise.
وَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يُعْطِيَ الْمَعْرِفَةَ بَعْضَهَا مَنْ يَجْعَلُهُ عِبْرَةً لِخَلْقِهِ مَتَى تَعَدَّى حَدَّهُ فِيهَا كَبَلْعَمَ بْنِ بَاعُورَاءَ حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ عَلَى كَلِيمِ اللَّهِ مُوسَى ع- فَأُنْسِيَ مَا كَانَ أُوتِيَ مِنَ الِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهُ
And based upon that it is allowed to Give the recognition to Give part of it to someone Whom He-azwj Makes the lesson to be for His-azwj creatures, when he exceeds his limit regarding it, like Bal’am Baoura when he intended to supplicate against Musa-as the Converser of Allah-azwj, so he forgot what he had been Given from the Magnificent Name, (because) it detached from him.
وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ اتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْناهُ آياتِنا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْها فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطانُ فَكانَ مِنَ الْغاوِينَ
And that is the Word of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in His-azwj Book: And recite to them the one We Gave Our Signs to, but he detached from it and he followed the Satan, so he was from the deviators [7:175].
وَ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مَا اخْتَصَّ بِالْفَضْلِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ مُسْتَحِقٌّ لِلْفَضْلِ وَ أَنَّهُ لَوْ عَمَّ لَجَازَ مِنْهُمْ وُقُوعُ مَا وَقَعَ مِنْ بَلْعَمَ.
And rather, the Mighty and Majestic Did that for the people to known that He-azwj does not Specialise with the merit except the one He-azwj Knows that he is rightful for the Grace, and if He-azwj had Generalised, it would have been allowed for them to fall into what Bal’am had fallen into’’.[261]

And it is the Word of Allah-azwj: Then as for those in whose hearts there is perversity, so they are following what is allegorical from it, seeking the Fitna and seeking its (personal) interpretation. And none knows its interpretation except Allah, and those who are firmly rooted in the Knowledge. They are saying, ‘We believe in it. It is all from the Presence of our Lord’. [3:7], and the ones firmly rooted in the knowledge, they-asws are the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.[263]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – Abu Labeed Al Makhzumy said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘O Abu Labeed! Twelve from the sons of Al-Abbas will rule. After eight of them, four would be killed. One of them will be hit by the slaughter. A group will slaughter him. Their lifespans will be short and their term will be little, wicked will be their conduct. From them is corrupt one teknonymed as ‘Al-Hady’ (the guide), and ‘Al-Natiq’ (the speaker), and ‘Al-Gawy’ (the deviated).
يَا بَا لَبِيدٍ إِنَّ فِي حُرُوفِ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُقَطَّعَةِ لَعِلْماً جَمّاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْزَلَ الم ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص حَتَّى ظَهَرَ نُورُهُ وَ ثَبَتَتْ كَلِمَتُهُ وَ وُلِدَ يَوْمَ وُلِدَ وَ قَدْ مَضَى مِنَ الْأَلْفِ السَّابِعِ مِائَةُ سَنَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثُ سِنِينَ
O Abu Labeed! In the abbreviated letters of the Quran there is immense knowledge. Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed: Alif Lam Meem [2:1] that is the Book [2:2].Muhammad-saww stood until his-saww Noor (guidance) appeared, and his-saww word was affirmed, and on the day he-saww was born, one hundred and three years had passed from the seventh millennium’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ تِبْيَانُهُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْحُرُوفُ الْمُقَطَّعَةُ إِذَا عَدَدْتَهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ تَكْرَارٍ وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ حُرُوفٍ مُقَطَّعَةٍ حُرُوفٌ يَنْقَضِي الْأَيَّامُ إِلَّا وَ قَائِمٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عِنْدَ انْقِضَائِهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘And its explanation is in the Book of Allah-azwj as the abbreviated letters, when you number these from without any repetition, and there isn’t any from the abbreviated letters any letters expiring the days except and there will be a rising one from the clan of Hashim-as at its expiry’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الْأَلِفُ وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّامُ ثَلَاثُونَ وَ الْمِيمُ أَرْبَعُونَ وَ الصَّادُ تِسْعُونَ فَذَلِكَ مِائَةٌ وَ إِحْدَى وَ سِتُّونَ ثُمَّ كَانَ بَدْوُ خُرُوجِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع الم اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَتْ مُدَّتُهُ قَامَ قَائِمُ وُلْدِ الْعَبَّاسِ عِنْدَ المص وَ يَقُومُ قَائِمُنَا عِنْدَ انْقِضَائِهَا بِ الر فَافْهَمْ ذَلِكَ وَ عِهِ وَ اكْتُمْهُ.
Then he-asws said: ‘The (letter) ‘Alif’ is one, ,and the ‘Laam’ is thirty, and the ‘Meem is forty, and the ‘Saad’ is ninety, so that is one hundred and sixty one. Then appeared the advent of Al Husayn Bin Ali-asws. Alif Lam Meem [2:1], Allah-azwj, when its term reaches, a rising one from the sons of Al Abbas will stand at and Alif Lam Meem Suad [7:1], and our-asws Qaim-ajfj will rise at expiry with Alif Lam Ra [10:1]. Therefore, understand that and retain it and conceal it’’.[270]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The Seyyid said in (the book) ‘Sa’ad Al-Saoud’, ‘Abu Abdul Rahman Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Sulamy said in ‘Haqaaiq Al-Tafseer’ regarding Words of the Exalted: Alif Lam Meem [2:1] that is the Book [2:2], ‘Ja’far Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Alif Lam Meem [2:1] is a code and an indication between Him-azwj and His-azwj Beloved Muhammad-saww. He-azwj Wanted that no one besides them both should be notified upon it, remote from being realised by the consideration (contemplation), and the secret was apparent between them, not others’’.[272]

And he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘In it there is a report by Al Astarabady in the book ‘Manaqib Al Nabi-saww Wal-Aimma-asws’, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from his father, from Al Rayyan Bin Al Salt who said,
‘Al-Reza Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws was presented in the presence of Al-Mamoun as Merv, and there had gathered in his gather a group of scholars of Al-Iraq and Khurasan. Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Inform me about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Ya Seen [36:1] By the Wise Quran [36:2] You are one of the Rasools [36:3] Upon a Straight Path [36:4]. Who does He-azwj Mean by His-azwj Words: Ya Seen [36:1]?’
قَالَ الْعُلَمَاءُ يس مُحَمَّدٌ ص لَمْ يَشُكَّ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ
The scholars said, ‘Yaseen’ is Muhammad-saww. No one doubts in it!’
قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَعْطَى مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَضْلًا لَا يَبْلُغُ أَحَدٌ كُنْهَ وَصْفِهِ إِلَّا مِنْ عَقْلِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا الْأَنْبِيَاءِ
Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Given Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww Grace from that no one can reach its essence describing it except one who understands it, and that is because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has not Greeted unto anyone except the Prophets-as.
فَقَالَ تَعَالَى سَلامٌ عَلى نُوحٍ فِي الْعالَمِينَ وَ قَالَ سَلامٌ عَلى إِبْراهِيمَ وَ قَالَ سَلامٌ عَلى مُوسى وَ هارُونَ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ نُوحٍ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ مُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ
The Exalted Said: Greetings be upon Noah among the nations [37:79] Greetings be upon Ibrahim [37:109] Greetings be upon Musa and Haroun [37:120], and he did not say: ‘Greetings upon the Progeny of Noah-as’, and did not Say: ‘Greetings be upon the Progeny of Ibrahim-as’, and did not Say: ‘Greetings be upon the Progeny of Musa-as and Haroun-as’.
وَ قَالَ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يس يَعْنِي آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
And He-azwj did Say: ‘Greetings be on Progeny of Yaseen [37:130], meaning Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and them-asws’’.[273]
