Intercession, (see Tawassul)
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا مَا آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَرَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ رَاغِبُونَ {59}
And if only they had been pleased with what Allah and His Rasool gave them, and they should be saying: ‘Allah is Sufficient for us; Allah will soon Give us from His Grace and (so would) His Rasool; surely to Allah do we are hoping’ [9:59]
يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ مَا قَالُوا وَلَقَدْ قَالُوا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ وَهَمُّوا بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُوا ۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوا إِلَّا أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۚ فَإِنْ يَتُوبُوا يَكُ خَيْرًا لَهُمْ ۖ وَإِنْ يَتَوَلَّوْا يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ {74}
They are swearing by Allah that they did not say it, and they have said the word of Kufr, and they committed Kufr after their Islam and they planned with what they could not attain; and they hated except if Allah and His Rasool was to Enrich them from His Grace. So if they were to repent, it would be better for them, and if they turn back, Allah would Punish them with a painful Punishment in the world and the Hereafter; and there isn’t for them in the earth from a guardian, nor a helper [9:74]
إِنْ تَتُوبَا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا ۖ وَإِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلَاهُ وَجِبْرِيلُ وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ {466:}
If you both repent to Allah, then He has Inclined both your hearts, and if you back each other against him, then surely Allah, He is his Guardian, and (so are) Jibraeel and ‘وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ’ the corrector of the Momineen; and the Angels after that are backers [66:4]
In the above Holy Verse, Allah-azwj Reveals who are the Authorised Guardians (Mola) to whom one can turn to for assistance. We learn from Rasool-Allah-saww about the ‘وَصَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ’ from the following Hadith:
و عنه، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن ابن فضال، عن أبي جميلة، عن محمد الحلبي، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: «إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) عرف أصحابه أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) مرتين، و ذلك أنه قال لهم: أ تدرون من وليكم من بعدي؟ قالوا: الله و رسوله أعلم
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazaal, from Abu Jameela, from Muhammad Al-Halby,
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww introduced Amir-al-Momineen-asws to his-saww companions twice, and then (first) he-saww said to them: ‘Do you know the one-asws who is your guardian from after me-saww?’ They said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww know’.
قال: فإن الله تبارك و تعالى قد قال: فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلاهُ وَ جِبْرِيلُ وَ صالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، يعني أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)، و هو وليكم بعدي
He-saww said: ‘So Allah-azwj, Blessed and Exalted has Said: then surely Allah, He is his Guardian, and (so is) Jibraeel and the corrector of the Momineen [66:4], Meaning Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he-asws is your guardian after me-saww’.
و المرة الثانية يوم غدير خم حين قال: من كنت مولاه فعلي مولاه
And the second time was on the Day of Ghadeer Khumm where he-saww said: ‘The one whom I-saww was the Master of, so Ali-asws is his Master’’.[1]
