The evil instigators, Transgressors
فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۗ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَىٰ ۖ قُلْ إِصْلَاحٌ لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ ۖ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ ۚ وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَعْنَتَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ {220}
In the world and the Hereafter. And they are asking you about the orphans. Say: ‘Correcting for them is good, and if you mingle them, so they are your brethren; and Allah Knows ‘الْمُفْسِدَ’ the spoiler from the corrector; and had He so Desired, Allah could have overburdened you; Allah is Mighty, Wise [2:220]
[ العياشي ] عن أبي حمزة، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: يارسول الله ان أخي هلك وترك أيتاما ولهم ماشية فما يحل لي منها ؟ فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن كنت تليط حوضها وترد ناديتها وتقوم على رعيتها فاشرب من ألبانها غير مجتهد ولا ضار بالولد، والله يعلم المفسد من المصلح
Al Ayyashi, from Abu Hamza,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said, ‘A man came to the Prophet-saww, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! My brother died and he left orphans, and for them (is the expense of) the livelihood, so what is Permissible for me from it?’ So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘If you have to fill up the watering trough and return them from their remoteness, and stand upon their sheep, so drink from their milk without striving for it or harming the children, and Allah Knows the spoiler from the corrector [2:220]’’.[1]
وَإِذِ اسْتَسْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَشْرَبَهُمْ ۖ كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا مِنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ {60}
And when Musa prayed for the rain for his people, so We Said: “Strike the rock with your Staff!” So there gushed out from it twelve springs; each group knew its drinking place: “Eat and drink from the Grace of Allah and do not mischievous in the land, as ‘مُفْسِدِينَ’ transgressors” [2:60]
ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ إِذِ اسْتَسْقى مُوسى لِقَوْمِهِ قَالَ: وَ اذْكُرُوا يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَى مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ، طَلَبَ لَهُمُ السُّقْيَا، لَمَّا لَحِقَهُمُ الْعَطَشُ فِي التِّيهِ، وَ ضَجُّوا بِالْبُكَاءِ إِلَى مُوسَى، وَ قَالُوا: أَهْلَكَنَا الْعَطَشُ
From Imam Hassan Askari-asws: ‘Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: And when Musa prayed for the rain for his people. He-azwj Said: Recall, O Children of Israel, when Musa prayed for the rain for his people, seeking for them the quenching, due to the thirst which faced them in the wilderness, and they raised a clamour to Musa-as, and they said: ‘The thirst is killing us!’
فَقَالَ مُوسَى: اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَ بِحَقِّ عَلِيٍّ سَيِّدِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ بِحَقِّ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَاءِ، وَ بِحَقِّ الْحَسَنِ سَيِّدِ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ، وَ بِحَقِّ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدِ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ بِحَقِّ عِتْرَتِهِمْ وَ خُلَفَائِهِمْ سَادَةِ الْأَزْكِيَاءِ- لَمَّا سَقَيْتَ عِبَادَكَ هَؤُلَاءِ
Musa-as said: ‘O Allah-azwj! By the right of Muhammad-saww, Chief of the Prophets-as, and by the right of Ali-asws, Chief of the successors-as, and by the right of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, Chieftess of the women, and by the right of Al Hassan-asws, Chief of the Guardians-asws, and by the right of Al Husayn-asws, Chief of the martyrs, and by the right of their-asws family, and their-asws Caliphs-asws, the Chiefs of the Intelligent ones, Quench them, Your-azwj servants!’
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ: يَا مُوسَى «اضْرِبْ بِعَصاكَ الْحَجَرَ». فَضَرَبَهُ بِهَا فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتا عَشْرَةَ عَيْناً- قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُناسٍ كُلُّ قَبِيلَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَبٍ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ يَعْقُوبَ مَشْرَبَهُمْ فَلَا يُزَاحِمُ الْآخَرِينَ فِي مَشْرَبِهِمْ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed unto him-as: O Musa-as! Strike the rock with your Staff! So, he-as struck with it, So there gushed out from it twelve springs; each group knew – each tribe from the sons of a father from the children of Yaqoub-as its drinking place. Thus, the others did not horde them in their drinking place.
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: كُلُوا وَ اشْرَبُوا مِنْ رِزْقِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاكُمُوهُ وَ لا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ وَ لَا تَسْعَوْا فِيهَا وَ أَنْتُمْ مُفْسِدُونَ عَاصُونَ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said Eat and drink from the Grace of Allah – which He-azwj has Given you all and do not mischievous in the land, as transgressors – and do not go about in it and you are corrupting, disobeying’. [2]
