A Verse, Verses of Holy Quran
رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا الْمُنْذِرُ وَ عَلِيٌّ الْهَادِي مِنْ بَعْدِي يَا عَلِيُّ بِكَ يَهْتَدِي الْمُهْتَدُونَ
It is reported from Ibn Abbas having said, ‘When ‘الْآيَةُ’ the Verse was Revealed, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am the warner and Ali-asws is the guide from after me-saww. O Ali-asws! Through you-asws the guided ones are guided’’.[1]
بصائر الدرجات الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّما أَنْتَ مُنْذِرٌ وَ لِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هادٍ فَقَالَ ع رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمُنْذِرُ وَ عَلِيٌّ ع الْهَادِي يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ مِنَّا هَادٍ الْيَوْمَ
(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Sa’dan, from Abu Baseers,
From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘But rather, you are a Warner, and for every people there is a Guide [13:7]’. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww is the warner and Ali-asws is the guide. O Abu Muhammad! Is there a guide from us-asws today?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا زَالَ فِيكُمْ هَادٍ مِنْ بَعْدِ هَادٍ حَتَّى رُفِعَتْ إِلَيْكَ
‘I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws! There has not ceased to be among you-asws a guide after a guide until it was raised to you-asws’.
فَقَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةٌ عَلَى رَجُلٍ ثُمَّ مَاتَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مَاتَتِ الْآيَةُ مَاتَ الْكِتَابُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ حَيٌّ يَجْرِي فِيمَنْ بَقِيَ كَمَا جَرَى فِيمَنْ مَضَى
‘He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you, O Abu Muhammad! And if it had been that when this Verse was Revealed upon a man, then that man dies, the Verse would die, the Book would die. But, it is alive, flowing regarding the one-asws who remains, just it flowed among the ones-asws in the past’’.[2].
