Fajr (فجر)

Dawn and Dawn Salat

وَالْفَجْرِ {1}

(I Swear) by the dawn [89:1]

وَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ الْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا وَاوٌ وَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الْفَجْرُ

And a man asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: (I Swear) by the dawn [89:1]. He-asws said: ‘There isn’t the letter ‘Waw’ in it, and rather it is ‘The dawn’’.

وَ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ جاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ وَ الْمُنافِقِينَ‏ فَقَالَ هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ وَ سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَاتَلَ مُنَافِقاً إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ وَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ جَاهِدِ الْكُفَّارَ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ

And a man recited to Abu Abdullah-asws: Fight the Kafirs and the hypocrites [9:73]. He-asws said: ‘Have you seen and heard that Rasool-Allah-saww fought the hypocrites? But rather, he-saww had a rapport with them, and rather Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty Said: “Fight the Kafirs with the hypocrites”’ (as most of the army of Muslims consisted of hyprocrites as they showed their hierocracy after Rasool Allah-saww).[1]
