And regarding His^-azwj Words: the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], he^-asws said: ‘He^-azwj Created the creation. the Beneficent with entirety of His^-azwj creation, and the Merciful with the Momineen in particular’.

عن اسمعيل بن أبان يرفعه إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لجابر بن عبد الله: يا جابر ألا أعلمك أفضل سورة انزلها الله في كتابه ؟ قال: فقال جابر: بلى بأبى انت وامى يا رسول الله علمنيها

He (the narrator) said, ‘So he^-saww taught him Al-Hamd, Mother of the Book, then said: ‘O Jabir! Shall I^-saww inform you about it?’ He said, ‘Yes, may my father (be sacrificed for) you^-saww as well as my mother, inform me’. He^-saww said: ‘It is a healing from every illness except for the poison, meaning the death’.^[7]

And from Ibn Masoud,

(It has been narrated) from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘The one who recites In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Allah^-azwj would Write for him four thousand good deeds for every letter, and Delete four thousand evil deeds from him, and Raise four thousand levels for him’’.^[10]

 

ثواب من قرأ سورة البقرة و آل عمران

‏The reward of reciting Surahs البقرة و آل عمران  (Al-Nisaa’ – 2 & 3)

NB: In the present compilation of the Holy Quran, the name of 2^nd Sura Al-Baqarah,” (The Cow) is given after the story of the cow mentioned in verses 2:67–73.[11]

The name of the third Sura (Aal-e-Imran or Al-Imran) is taken from the word, “Imran”, which is in two Verese 3:33 and 3:35: The Verse thirty-five refers to Imran^-as, the father of Maryam^-as (Marry the mother Prophet Isa^-as) The third Sura is also called ‘Tayyiba’, in support of the Infallibility of Maryam^-as (the daughter of Imran^-as and mother Prophet Isa^-as). Below reproduce the two famous Verses (3:33-3:35):

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَىٰ آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ  Surely, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33]

إِذْ قَالَتِ امْرَأَتُ عِمْرَانَ رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطْنِي مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ  When a wife of Imraan said: ‘My Lord! I vow to You what is in my womb, to be devoted (to Your worship), therefore Accept from me, surely You are the Hearing, the Knowing’ [3:35].

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَ آلَ عِمْرَانَ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تُظِلَّانِهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِثْلَ الْغَمَامَتَيْنِ أَوْ مِثْلَ الْغَيَابَتَيْنِ

Muhammad ibn al-Hasan narrated to me, saying: Muhammad ibn Idris narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hassan from Isma’il ibn Mehran from al-Hasan ibn Ali from his father from al-Husayn ibn Abi al-‘Ala from Abu Basir from

Imam Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Whoever recites Al-Baqarah and Aal Imran will come on the Day of Resurrection with them casting a shade over his head like two clouds or like two veils.^[12]‘

Additional Merits of Chapters 2 and 3 as well as Ayat Al-Kursi:

Then he^-asws heard him recite Surah Al Tawheed. He^-asws said: ‘He believes and is safe’.

Then he^-asws heard him reciting Ayat Al Kursi. He^-asws said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations! The freedom from the Hellfire for this one has been descended!’’^[14]

‘The four hundred (Ahadeeth), Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you complains of his eye, let him recite Ayat Al Kursi, and let him think within himself it will be cured, it will be cured if Allah^-azwj so Desires’’.^[16]

وَ قَالَ ع‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ مِثْلَهَا إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ مِثْلَهَا آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مَنَعَ مَالَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ.

أَقُولُ قَدْ مَضَى فِي بَابِ الْفَاتِحَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ أَعْطَيْتُ لَكَ وَ لِأُمَّتِكَ كَنْزاً مِنْ كُنُوزِ عَرْشِي فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ خَاتِمَةَ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَ مَضَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً الِاسْتِشْفَاءُ بِآيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ لِلْعَيْنِ.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It has passed in the chapter ‘Al Fatiha’, from the Prophet^-saww, Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said: “I^-azwj shall Give for you^-saww and for your^-saww community, a treasure from treasures of My^-azwj Throne, Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and ending of Surah Al Baqarah!” – and it has passed in it as well seeking the healing with Ayat Al Kursi for the (evil) eye’’.^[20]

فس، تفسير القمي أَبِي عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ‏ أَيْ نُعَاسٌ‏ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid,

‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws recited: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep;– i.e., drowsiness – for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth [2:255].

وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما وَ ما تَحْتَ الثَّرى

For Him is whatever is in the skies, and whatever is in the earth, and whatever is in between the two, and whatever is beneath the soil [20:6]

‏ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ‏

He is Allah. There is no god except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22]

مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ ما خَلْفَهُمْ‏ قَالَ‏ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ‏ فَأُمُورُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ مَا كَانَ‏ وَ ما خَلْفَهُمْ‏ أَيْ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَعْدُ

Who is that who can intercede in His Presence except by His Permission? He Knows what is in front of them and what is behind them [2:255]. He^-asws said: ‘what is in front of them, are affairs of the Prophets and what has happened, and what is behind them [2:255], i.e., what has not happened yet.

قَوْلُهُ‏ إِلَّا بِما شاءَ أَيْ بِمَا يُوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ‏ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما أَيْ لَا يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْهِ حِفْظُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ

His^-azwj Words: except with whatever He so Desires; [2:255], i.e., with what He^-azwj Reveals to them, and their preservation does not tire Him; [2:255], i.e., it is not heavy upon Him^-azwj preservation of whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth.

قَوْلُهُ‏ لا إِكْراهَ فِي الدِّينِ‏ أَيْ لَا يُكْرَهُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى دِينِهِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ‏ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ‏ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ غَصَبُوا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ

His^-azwj Words: There is no compulsion in the Religion – no one can be coerced upon his religion except after it has been clarified to him – the right way has been clarified from the error. Therefore, the one who disbelieves in the tyrant and believes in Allah, [2:256], and they (tyrants) are those that usurped the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad of their^-asws rights.

قَوْلُهُ‏ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقى‏ يَعْنِي الْوَلَايَةَ لَا انْفِصامَ لَها أَيْ حَبْلٌ لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهُ‏

His^-azwj Words: so he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold, – meaning the Wilayah – there would be no breaking for it; [2:256] – i.e., a rope not having any termination for him.

اللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَعْنِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ ع- يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُماتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْلِياؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ‏ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ تَبِعُوا مَنْ غَصَبَهُمْ‏ يُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُماتِ أُولئِكَ أَصْحابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيها خالِدُونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَذَا نَزَلَتْ.

Allah is the Guardian of those who believe – meaning Amir Al-Momineen^-asws and the Imams^-asws –  He Extracts them from the (multitude of) darkness into the Light; and (as for) those who are committing Kufr – and they are oppressors of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww – their guardian is the tyrant – and they are those who follow the ones who usurped them^-asws – who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness; these are the inmates of the Fire; they would be in it eternally [2:257] – And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the worlds, that is how it was Revealed’’.^[21]

‘He heard Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws, saying: ‘I^-asws have not seen any man, his intellect has realised Al-Islam and guided him in Al-Islam, staying awake in darkness of night’.

قُلْتُ وَ مَا سَوَادُهَا يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ

I said, ‘And what is its darkness, O Abu Umama?’

قَالَ جَمِيعُهَا حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ‏ فَقَرَأَ الْآيَةَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ فَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا هِيَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا فِيهَا لَمَا تَرَكْتُمُوهَا عَلَى حَالٍ

He said, ‘Entirety of it, until he^-asws recited this Verse: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; [2:255]. He^-asws read the Verse up to His^-azwj Words: and their preservation does not tire Him; and He is the Exalted, the Magnificent [2:255]. Then he^-asws said: ‘If only you knew what it is!’ Or said: ‘What is in it, you would not neglect it upon any situation.

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ أُعْطِيْتُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ كَنْزٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَمْ يُؤْتَهَا نَبِيٌّ كَانَ قَبْلِي

Rasool-Allah^-saww informed me. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww have been Given Ayat Al Kursi from treasure beneath the Throne and no Prophet^-saww who was before me^-saww has been Given it’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً قَطُّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أَقْرَأَهَا

Ali^-asws said: ‘I^-asws have not spent any night at all since I^-asws heard it from Rasool-Allah^-saww, until I^-asws had recited it’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ إِنِّي أَقْرَأُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَحَايِينَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ

Then he^-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Umama! I^-asws tend to recite it three times in three times every night’.

فَقُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي قِرَاءَتِكَ لَهَا يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ-

I said, ‘And how do you do so in your^-asws reciting of it, O son^-asws of uncle^-as of Muhammad^-saww?’

قَالَ أَقْرَأُهَا قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ ع حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ

He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws read it before the two Cycles of Salat after Al-Isha Salat. By Allah^-azwj! I^-asws have not neglected it since I^-asws heard this Hadeeth from your Prophet^-saww until I^-asws have (now) inform you with it!’

قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ وَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع- حَتَّى حَدَّثْتُكَ أَوْ قَالَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ

Abu Umama said, ‘And, by Allah^-azwj, I have not neglected reciting it since I heard this Hadeeth from Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, until I have (now) narrated to you!’ Or said, ‘I have informed you with it’.

قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بِفَضْلِهَا حَتَّى الْآنَ

Al-Qasim said, ‘And I have not neglected reciting it every night since Abu Umama had narrated to me of its merits, until now!’

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَ أُخْبِرُكَ أَنِّي مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ فِي فَضْلِهَا

Ali Bin Zayd said, ‘And I am informing you, I have not neglected reciting it every night since Al-Qasim had narrated to me regarding its merits’.

قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ فَمَا تَرَكْتُهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا مَا بَلَغَنِي

Ibn Abu Al-Aatika said, ‘I have not neglected it during every night since merits of its recitation reached me, what reached me’.

قَالَ ابْنُ سَابُورَ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَوْلُهُ فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا

Ibn Sabour said, ‘And I have not neglected reciting it during every night since it reached me from Rasool-Allah^-saww, his^-saww words regarding its recitation’.

قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ بَكْرٍ وَ أَنَا فَمَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Two brothers of Rasool-Allah^-saww came. They said, ‘We are intending (to go to) Syria for trading, so teach us what we should be saying’.

He^-saww said: ‘Yes. When you shelter to the house, pray Al-Isha the last Salat. When one of you places his side upon his bed after the Salat, let him glorify glorification (Tasbeeh) of Fatima^-asws, then let him read Ayat Al Kursi, for he will be protected from all things until morning’.

And thieves pursued them until when they had descended, they sent a boy to look at what their situation was, whether they were sleeping or awake. The boy ended to them, and one of them had placed his side upon his bed, and he read Ayat Al Kursi and glorified with Glorification of (Syeda) Fatima^-asws’.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَخْزَاكَ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ كَذَبْتَ بَلْ ضَعُفْتَ وَ جَبُنْتَ

They said to him, ‘May Allah^-azwj Disgrace you! You are lying, but you were weak and a coward!’

They stood up and looked. They did not find except two walls. They went around the walls but did not hear and did not see any person. They left to go to their homes. When it was morning, they came to them. They said, ‘Where were you (last night)?’

فَقَالُوا مَا كُنَّا إِلَّا هُنَا وَ مَا بَرَحْنَا

Allah^-azwj will Say: “O You Quran! So how was their submission to what I^-azwj had Revealed in you from the merits of Ali Ibn Abi Talib^-asws, the brother of Muhammad Rasool-Allah^-saww?”

يَقُولَانِ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ وَالاهُ وَ وَالَى وَلِيَّهُ وَ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَهُ إِذَا قَدَرَ جَهَرَ وَ إِذَا عَجَزَ اتَّقَى وَ اسْتَتَرَ

They will reply: ‘O Lord^-azwj of the lords! They befriended him^-asws and his^-asws friends, and became inimical to his^-asws enemies. When they were able they made it known and when they could not, they feared and concealed’.

يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَقَدْ عَمِلَ إِذاً بِكُمَا كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُ وَ عَظَّمَ مِنْ حَقِّكُمَا مَا أَعْظَمْتُهُ يَا عَلِيُّ أَ مَا تَسْتَمِعُ شَهَادَةَ الْقُرْآنِ لِوَلِيِّكَ هَذَا

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘Then they have dealt with you two just as I^-azwj had Commanded it, and have considered great that which made you two great. O Ali^-asws! Did you hear this testimony of the Quran for this friend of yours^-asws?’

فَيَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ بَلَى يَا رَبِّ

Ali^-asws will respond: ‘Yes O Lord!’

فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ فَاقْتَرِحْ لَهُ مَا تُرِيدُ فَيَقْتَرِحُ لَهُ مَا يُرِيدُهُ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنْ أَمَانِيِّ هَذَا الْقَارِي أَضْعَافَ الْمُضَاعَفَاتِ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيُقَالُ قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ مَا اقْتَرَحْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘’Then suggest whatever you^-asws want for him’. He^-asws will then suggest for him such things that would exceed all the reader’s aspirations and desires, and their number will be unknown to all except Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Allah^-azwj will Say: “I^-azwj have Given him what you^-asws suggested O Ali^-asws!”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ وَالِدَيِ الْقَارِي لَيُتَوَّجَانِ بِتَاجِ الْكَرَامَةِ يُضِي‏ءُ نُورُهُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ عَشَرَةِ آلَافِ سَنَةٍ وَ يُكْسَيَانِ حُلَّةً لَا يَقُومُ لِأَقَلِّ سِلْكٍ مِنْهَا مِائَةُ أَلْفِ ضِعْفِ مَا فِي الدُّنْيَا بِمَا يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِهَا

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And the parents of the reciter (of the Quran) will have a crown of prestige on their heads, the radiance of which will stretch to a travel distance of ten thousand years journey, and they will be clothed in such, fabrics the least of which would be better than a hundred thousand times of what is in the world, due to what would be included upon it from its goodness’.

ثُمَّ يُعْطَى هَذَا الْقَارِي الْمُلْكَ بِيَمِينِهِ فِي كِتَابٍ وَ الْخُلْدَ بِشِمَالِهِ فِي كِتَابٍ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ بِيَمِينِهِ قَدْ جُعِلْتَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ مُلُوكِ الْجِنَانِ وَ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ عَلِيٍّ خَيْرِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ بَعْدَهُمَا سَادَةِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ

Then the reciter will get a written deed to a kingdom in his right hand and be given the (Permission for) eternal life in his left hand. He would read from his deed (given in) his right hand, ‘We have given you a great kingdom in the Gardens and made you among the friends of Muhammad^-saww the leader of the Prophets^-as, and Ali^-asws the best of the successors^-as and the Imams^-asws after him^-asws, Chiefs of the pious’.

وَ يَقْرَأُ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ بِشِمَالِهِ قَدْ أَمِنْتَ الزَّوَالَ وَ الِانْتِقَالَ عَنْ هَذَا الْمُلْكِ وَ أُعِذْتَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ كُفِيتَ الْأَمْرَاضَ وَ الْأَعْلَالَ وَ جُنِّبْتَ حَسَدَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ كَيْدَ الْكَائِدِينَ

And he would read from his deed in his left hand, ‘You are secured from the decline and the transference from this kingdom, and are sheltered from the death, and the illnesses and sufficed from the diseases and the pains, and would be kept aside from the envy of the envying ones, and plots of the plotters’.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ اقْرَأْ وَ ارْقَ وَ مَنْزِلُكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَؤُهَا

Then it would be said to him: ‘Recite and ascend, for your destination lies at the last Verse you would be reciting!’

فَإِذَا نَظَرَ وَالِدَاهُ إِلَى حِلْيَتِهِمَا وَ تَاجَيْهِمَا قَالا رَبَّنَا أَنَّى لَنَا هَذَا الشَّرَفُ وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ أَعْمَالُنَا

Then the parents will look at their clothes and crowns and they would ask: ‘Our Lord^-azwj! For us is this nobility, and although our deeds did not reach it?’

فَقَالَ لَهُمَا إِكْرَامُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذَا لَكُمَا بِتَعْلِيمِكُمَا وَلَدَكُمَا الْقُرْآنَ‏.

The honourable Angels of Allah^-azwj will say to them on behalf of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic: ‘This is because both of you taught your children to read the Quran’’.^[32]

(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ –

‘From Al-Sadiq^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws, from his^-asws grandfather^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and Ayat Al Kursi, and the two Verses from Surah Aal e Imran^-as, Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, [3:18], and Say: ‘O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! [3:26] – up to its end, were suspended, there not being any veil between them and Allah^-azwj the Exalted.

يَقُلْنَ يَا رَبِّ تُهْبِطُنَا إِلَى أَرْضِكَ وَ إِلَى مَنْ يَعْصِيكَ

They said, ‘O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj are Sending us to Your^-azwj earth and to the ones disobeying You^-azwj?’

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَا يَقْرَؤُكُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ إِلَّا جَعَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ مَثْوَاهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيهِ وَ لَأَسْكَنْتُهُ حَظِيرَةَ الْقُدْسِ وَ لَأَنْظُرَنَّ إِلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ نَظْرَةً.

Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said: “No one from My^-azwj servants will read you at the end of every Salat except I^-azwj shall Make the Paradise as his abode based upon what was in it, and I^-azwj shall Settle him in the Holy enclosure, and I^-azwj shall Look at him during every day with seventy Glances!”’^[33]

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا حِينَ نَامَ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى جَارَهُ وَ أَهْلَ الدُوَيْرَاتِ حَوْلَهُ.

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘One who reads Ayat Al Kursi at the end of every Salat, nothing will prevent him entering the Paradise except the death; and one who recites it when he goes to sleep, Allah^-azwj will Secure his neighbour and people of the houses around him’’.^[34]

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ النَّارَ أَبَداً.

And in another Hadeeth from Abu Ja’far^-asws: ‘One who reads Ayat Al Kursi while he is performing Sajdah, will not enter the Hellfire, ever!’’^[35]

كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ: أَيُّمَا دَابَّةٍ اسْتَصْعَبَتْ عَلَى صَاحِبِهَا مِنْ لِجَامٍ وَ نِفَارٍ فَلْيَقْرَأْ فِي أُذُنِهَا أَوْ عَلَيْهَا أَ فَغَيْرَ دِينِ اللَّهِ يَبْغُونَ وَ لَهُ أَسْلَمَ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً وَ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riab, from Abu Ubeyda,

‘From one of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^-asws) having said: ‘Whichever riding animal is difficult upon its owner, from reining and fleeing, let him read in its ear, or upon it, Is it other than Allah’s Religion they are seeking? And to Him submit the ones is in the skies and the earth, willingly and unwillingly, and to Him they would be returning [3:83]’’.^[36]

إِرْشَادُ الْقُلُوبِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فِي خَبَرِ الْيَهُودِيِّ الَّذِي سَأَلَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَنْ فَضَائِلِ نَبِيِّنَا ص

(The book) ‘Irshad Al Quloub’ –

‘From Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen^-asws in a Hadeeth of the Jews who asked Amir Al-Momineen^-asws about merits of our Prophet^-saww.

قَالَ ثُمَّ عُرِجَ بِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ ثُمَّ دَنا فَتَدَلَّى‏ وَ دَنَّى لَهُ رَفْرَفاً أَخْضَرَ أُغْشِيَ عَلَيْهِ نُورٌ عَظِيمٌ حَتَّى كَانَ فِي دُنُوِّهِ كَقَابِ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى وَ هُوَ مِقْدَارُ مَا بَيْنَ الْحَاجِبِ إِلَى الْحَاجِبِ

He^-asws said: ‘Then there as ascension with him^-saww until he^-saww ended to base of the Throne. The Mighty and Majestic Said: Then he approached, so he bowed [53:8], and a green flickering was brought near him^-saww. A mighty Noor overwhelmed him^-saww to the extent that in his^-saww nearness he^-saww was like (at a distance of) two bows or nearer [53:9], and it is a measurement of what is between the veil to the veil.

وَ نَاجَاهُ بِمَا ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ لِلَّهِ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ إِنْ تُبْدُوا ما فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ‏ يُحاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشاءُ-

And He^-azwj Whispered to him^-saww with what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Mentioned in His^-azwj Book. Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said: For Allah is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth; and if you are revealing what is within yourselves or you are hiding it, Allah will Reckon you with it. Then He will Forgive the one He so Desires to and He will Punish the one He so Desires to [2:284].

وَ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قَدْ عَرَضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ مِنْ لَدُنْ آدَمَ إِلَى أَنْ بُعِثَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص فَأَبَوْا جَمِيعاً أَنْ يَقْبَلُوهَا مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا وَ قَبِلَهَا مُحَمَّدٌ ص

And this Verse had been presented unto rest of the communities since from Adam^-as up to Prophet-hood of Muhammad^-saww, but they had all refused to accept it due to its heaviness, and Muhammad^-saww accepted it.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهُ وَ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ الْقَبُولَ خَفَّفَ عَنْهُ ثِقَلَهَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ‏

When Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Saw the acceptance from him^-saww and from his^-saww community, He^-azwj Lightened it’s weight from him^-saww. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic: “The Rasool believes in what is Revealed unto him from his Lord” [2:285].

ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ تَكَرَّمَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَشْفَقَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ مِنْ تَشْدِيدِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي قَبِلَهَا هُوَ وَ أُمَّتُهُ فَأَجَابَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ أُمَّتِهِ فَقَالَ‏ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مَلائِكَتِهِ وَ كُتُبِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ لا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ‏

Then Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic was Benevolent upon Muhammad^-saww and Compassionate upon his^-saww community from hardship of the Verse which he^-saww and his^-saww community had accepted. So, he^-saww answered from himself^-saww and his^-saww community. He^-saww said: ‘And (so do) the Momineen. They all believe in Allah, and His Angels, and His Books. They do not differentiate between any one of His Rasools’. [2:285].

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُمُ الْمَغْفِرَةُ وَ الْجَنَّةُ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “For them is the Forgiveness and the Paradise when they do that!”

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ يَعْنِي الْمَرْجِعَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَأَجَابَهُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِتَائِبِي أُمَّتِكَ قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ لَهُمُ الْمَغْفِرَةَ

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘‘We hear and we obey’”. (The Rasool said): ‘Yours is the Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the Destination’. [2:285], meaning the return in the Hereafter. He^-azwj Answered him^-saww: “I^-azwj hereby do that with fatigue of your^-saww community. I^-azwj hereby Obligate the Forgiveness for them!”

ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَّا إِذَا قَبِلْتَهَا أَنْتَ وَ أُمَّتُكَ وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ عُرِضَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأُمَمِ فَلَمْ يَقْبَلُوهَا فَحَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرْفَعَهَا مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ

Then Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “But, when you^-saww and your^-saww community have accepted it, and it had been presented unto the Prophets^-as and the communities from before, but they did not accept it, it is a right upon Me^-azwj that I^-azwj Raise it from your^-azwj community!”

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ لا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْساً إِلَّا وُسْعَها لَها ما كَسَبَتْ‏ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَ عَلَيْها مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ‏ مِنْ شَرٍّ

Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said: “Allah does not Encumber a soul except to its capacity. For it would be what it earned – from the good – and against it would be what it earned”. [2:286] – from the evil!”

ثُمَّ أَلْهَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ ص أَنْ قَالَ‏ رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذْنا إِنْ نَسِينا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنا

Then Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Inspired His^-azwj Prophet^-saww to say: ‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. [2:286]’.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَعْطَيْتُكَ لِكَرَامَتِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ الْأُمَمَ السَّالِفَةَ كَانُوا إِذَا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا فُتِحَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابُ عَذَابِي وَ رَفَعْتُ ذَلِكَ عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ

Allah^-azwj the Glorious Said: “I^-azwj have Given it to you^-saww due to your^-saww prestige, O Muhammad^-saww. The previous communities were such, whenever they forgot what they had been reminded of, doors of My^-azwj Punishment were opened upon them, and that has been Raised away from your^-saww community!”

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ رَبَّنا وَ لا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنا إِصْراً كَما حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنا يَعْنِي بِالْآصَارِ الشَّدَائِدَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us a burden like what You Loaded upon those from before us. [2:286]’, meaning by the ‘burden’, the adversities which were upon the communities, from the ones who existed before Muhammad^-saww.

فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَقَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ الْآصَارَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ السَّالِفَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي جَعَلْتُ عَلَى الْأُمَمِ السَّالِفَةِ أَنْ لَا أَقْبَلَ فِعْلًا إِلَّا فِي بِقَاعِ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي اخْتَرْتُهَا لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ بَعُدَتْ وَ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ الْأَرْضَ لَكَ وَ لِأُمَّتِكَ طَهُوراً وَ مَسْجِداً وَ هَذِهِ مِنَ الْآصَارِ وَ قَدْ رَفَعْتُهَا عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ

The Mighty and Majestic Said: “I^-azwj have Raised away from your^-saww community, the burdens which were upon the previous communities, and that is because I^-azwj had Made upon the previous communities that I^-azwj will not Accept any deed except in a spot of the earth I^-azwj have Chosen for them and even if it was remote, and I^-azwj have Made the (whole) earth for you^-saww and your^-saww community as a cleanser and a Masjid, and this is from the burdens, and I^-azwj have Raised it away from your^-azwj communities!”

وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِذْ قَدْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بِي فَزِدْنِي

And he^-asws continued the Hadeeth up to he^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! When You^-azwj had Done that with me, then Increase for me^-saww!’

فَأَلْهَمَهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ قَالَ‏ رَبَّنا وَ لا تُحَمِّلْنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ‏

Allah^-azwj the Glorious Inspired him^-saww to say: Our Lord! And do not Load upon us what we have no strength for us with it; [2:286]’.

قَالَ‏ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِأُمَّتِكَ وَ قَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْهُمْ عَظِيمَ بَلَايَا الْأُمَمِ وَ ذَلِكَ حُكْمِي فِي جَمِيعِ الْأُمَمِ أَنْ لَا أُكَلِّفَ نَفْساً فَوْقَ طَاقَتِهَا

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “I^-azwj hereby Do that with your^-saww community, and I^-azwj have Raised away from them the mighty afflictions of the (previous) communities, and that is My^-azwj Judgment regarding entirety of the communities that I^-azwj do not Encumber any soul above its endurance!”

قَالَ‏ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ ارْحَمْنا أَنْتَ مَوْلانا

He^-saww said: and Pardon (our sins) for us and have Mercy on us. You are our Master, [2:286]’.

قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ بِتَائِبِي أُمَّتِكَ

He^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said: “I^-azwj hereby Do that due to fatigue of your^-saww community!”

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ فَانْصُرْنا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكافِرِينَ‏

Then he^-saww said: ‘therefore Help us against the Kafir people’. [2:286].

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ وَ جَعَلْتُ أُمَّتَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ كَالشَّامَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ هُمُ الْقَادِرُونَ وَ هُمُ الْقَاهِرُونَ يَسْتَخْدِمُونَ وَ لَا يُسْتَخْدَمُونَ لِكَرَامَتِكَ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُظْهِرَ دِينَكَ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا غَرْبِهَا دِينٌ إِلَّا دِينُكَ‏.

Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “I^-azwj have Done that and have Made your^-saww community, O Muhammad^-saww, like the white spot in the black bull. They are the able, and they are the subduers.

It has been copied from handwriting of Al-Shaheed, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, from Al-Hassan^-asws having said: ‘I^-asws am a guarantor for the one who reads twenty (20) Verses that Allah^-azwj will Protect him from every unjust ruler, and from every rebellious Satan^-la, and from every returning thief, and from every harmful predator, and it is Ayat Al Kursi, and three Verses from (Surah) Al Araaf, Surely, your Lord [7:54] – up to the good doers [7:56], and ten from beginning of (Surah) Al Saffaat, and three from (Surah) Al Rahman, O communities of the Jinn [55:33] – up to – help each other [55:35], and three from end of Surah Al Hashr, He is Allah.

And it is reported that Zayn Al-Abideen^-asws passed by a man and he was seated at the door of a man. He^-asws said to him: ‘What makes you sit at the door of this affluent tyrant?’

فَقَالَ الْبَلَاءُ

He said, ‘The affliction!’

فَقَالَ قُمْ فَأُرْشِدَكَ إِلَى بَابٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ بَابِهِ وَ إِلَى رَبٍّ خَيْرٍ لَكَ مِنْهُ

He^-asws said: ‘Arise! I^-asws shall guide you to a door better than his door, and to a Lord^-azwj who is better for you than him!’

He^-asws held his hand until he^-asws ended to the Masjid, Masjid of the Prophet^-saww. Then he^-saww said: ‘Face the Qiblah and pray two Cycles Salat, then raise your hands to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Laud upon Him^-azwj and send Salawaat upon His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, then supplicate with ends of (Surah) Al Hashr, and six Verses from beginning of (Surah) Al Hadeed, and with the two Verses which are in (Surah) Aal-e-Imran^-as, then ask Allah^-azwj, for you will not ask Allah^-azwj except He^-azwj will Give you, and perhaps the two Verses of (Surah) Al Mulk’’.^[40]

(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –

‘From Ibn Nubata in a lengthy Hadeeth, ‘A man stood up to him^-asws, meaning Amir Al-Momineen^-asws. He said, ‘There is yellow water in my belly, is there any cure?’

He^-asws said: ‘Yes, with neither a Dirham nor a Dinar, but write Ayat Al Kursi upon your belly, and write it and drink it and make it a hoard (store) in your belly, you will be cured by the Permission of Allah^-azwj’.

فَفَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ فَبَرَأَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.

And from Ali^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww used to pray Al-Witr (Salat) with nine Chapters in three Cycles – Surah(s) Al Takasur, and Al Qadr, and Al Zilzaal in one Cycle; and in the second (Surah(s) Al Asr, and Al Nasr, and Al Kawser; and in the third (Surah(s)) Al Kafiroun, and Lahab, and Al Tawheed’’.^[45]

ثواب من قرأ سورة النساء في كل جمعة

The reward of reciting Surah النِّسَاءِ  (Al-Nisaa’ – 4)

NB: In the present compilation of the Holy Quran, the title of Chapter four ‘Surah Nisaa’ is taken from its 4^th Verse:  وَآتُوا النِّسَاءَ  And give women their dowries as a gift, but if they remit for you something from it themselves, then consume it enjoying wholesomely [4:4].

ثواب الأعمال ابْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَابِسٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ أَمِنَ ضَغْطَةَ الْقَبْرِ.

ثواب من قرأ سورة المائدة

The reward of reciting Surah الْمَائِدَةِ  (Al-Maaida – 5)

NB: In the present compilation of the Holy Quran, the Surah Al-Maida takes its’ name from verse 5:112 in which the word mai’dah occurs. Like the names of many other surahs, this name has no special relation to the subject of the Surah but has been used merely as a symbol to distinguish it from other Surahs.

إِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ۖ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ When the disciples said: ‘O Isa son of Maryam! Does your Lord have the capacity to Send down upon us food from the sky? He said: ‘Fear Allah, if you were Momineen [5:112].

(Surah) Al-Maaida was Revealed two or three months before the Prophet^-saww was Recalled’’ (one of the last chapters of the Holy Quran).^[47]

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws: ‘(Surah) Al Maaida was Revealed two or three months before the Prophet^-saww was Recalled’’ (one of the last chapters of the Holy Quran).^[49]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Isa Bin Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather,

‘From Ali^-asws having said: ‘The Quran had Abrogated, part of it with part, and rather it should be taken from the matter of Rasool-Allah^-saww with its latest of what had been Revealed upon him^-saww.

الْمَائِدَةِ نَسَخَتْ مَا قَبْلَهَا وَ لَمْ يَنْسَخْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ وَ ثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ وَ تَدَلَّى بَطْنُهَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ سُرَّتَهَا تَكَادُ تَمَسُّ الْأَرْضَ وَ أُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ذُؤَابَةِ شَيْبَةَ [بْنِ‏] وَهْبٍ الْجُمَحِيِّ

(Surah) Al-Maaida Abrogated what was before it and nothing Abrogated it. It was Revealed unto him^-saww while he^-saww was upon his^-saww mule (named as) ‘Al Shahba’, and the Revelation was heavy upon it to the extent that it fell and its belly was bent, until I^-asws saw its navel touching the ground, and there was unconsciousness upon Rasool-Allah^-saww until he^-saww place his^-saww hand upon a forelock of Sheyba Bin Wahb Al Juhmy.

ثُمَّ رُفِعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا سُورَةَ الْمَائِدَةِ فَعَمِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ علمناه [عَمِلْنَا].

Then, that was Raised away from Rasool-Allah^-saww, so he^-saww read Surah Al Maaida to us. Rasool-Allah^-saww worked and taught us (worked us)’’.^[50]

ثواب من قرأ سورة الأنعام‏

The reward of reciting Surah الْأَنْعَامِ  (Al A’raaf – 6)

NB: In the present compilation of the Holy Quran, the Sura number 6 is named after the word An’am (أَنْعَٰم), meaning “cattle,” mentioned in Ayahs 136, 138, and 139, وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ نَصِيبًا  And they are making a share to be for Allah from what He Created of the cultivation and the cattle, and they are saying, ‘This is for Allah’, by their claim, ‘and this is for our associates’. So whatever was for their associates, it does not arrive to Allah, and whatever was for Allah, it arrives to their associates. Evil is what they are deciding [6:136].

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid,

‘From Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘Surah أَنْعَٰم (Al Anaam -6) was Revealed as a whole in one go. It was escorted by seventy thousand Angels. For them was a buzz with the glorifications, and the extollations of Oneness, and the exclamations of greatness. The one who recites it, they will be glorifying (Allah^-azwj) for him up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.^[51]

‘One who reads Surah Al Anaam during every night would be from the secured ones on the Day of Qiyamah, and he will not even see the Hellfire with his eyes, ever!’’^[52]

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza^-asws’, may the greeting be upon him^-asws. It is reported from the Scholar (Imam^-asws) having said: ‘When an illness appears with you which you fear upon yourself (life) from it, then recite (Surah) Al Anaam, what you dislike from that illness will not hit you’’.^[54]

وَ فِي أَخْبَارِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ لِعَلِيٍ‏ يَا عَلِيُّ هَذَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ خُذْهُ إِلَيْكَ

(Ahadeeth only) – And in Hadeeth by Abu Rafie, ‘The Prophet^-saww said during his^-saww illness in which he^-saww passed away: ‘O Ali^-asws! This is the Book of Allah^-azwj. Take it to yourself^-asws!’

فَجَمَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ فِي ثَوْبٍ فَمَضَى إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَلَسَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَلَّفَهُ كَمَا أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَ كَانَ بِهِ عَالِماً.

Ali^-asws collected it in a cloth and went to his^-asws house. When the Prophet^-saww was recalled, Ali^-asws sat down and compiled it just as Allah^-azwj had Revealed, and he^-asws was all-knowing with it’’.^[95]

وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ الْعَطَّارُ وَ الْمُوَفِّقُ خَطِيبُ خُوارِزْمَ فِي كِتَابَيْهِمَا بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص أَمَرَ عَلِيّاً ع بِتَأْلِيفِ الْقُرْآنِ فَأَلَّفَهُ وَ كَتَبَهُ.

And it is narrated to me by Abu Al’ala Al-Attar, and Al-Muwaffiq preacher of Khuwarizm in their books, by the chain, from Ali Bin Rabbah, ‘The Prophet^-saww instructed Ali^-asws to compile the Quran, so he^-asws compiled it and wrote it’’.^[96]

جَبَلَةُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: لَوْ ثُنِيَ لِيَ الْوِسَادَةُ وَ عُرِفَ لِي حَقِّي لَأَخْرَجْتُ لَهُمْ مُصْحَفاً كَتَبْتُهُ وَ أَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص.

Jabalah Bin Suheym, from his father, from Amir Al-Momineen^-asws having said: ‘If the pillow were to be folded for me^-asws, and my^-asws rights were recognised, I^-asws bring out a Quran to them I^-asws have written and Rasool-Allah^-saww had dictated unto me^-asws!’’^[97]

و رويتم أيضا أنه إنما أبطأ علي ع عن بيعة أبي بكر لتأليف القرآن.

And it is reported as well, ‘But rather, Ali^-asws’s pledging allegiance (by force) to Abu Bakr was delayed due to compiling of the Quran’’.^[98]

أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فِي الْحِلْيَةِ وَ الْخَطِيبُ فِي الْأَرْبَعِينِ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَقْسَمْتُ أَوْ حَلَفْتُ أَنْ لَا أَضَعَ رِدَايَ عَنْ ظَهْرِي حَتَّى أَجْمَعَ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّوْحَيْنِ فَمَا وَضَعْتُ رِدَايَ حَتَّى جَمَعْتُ الْقُرْآنَ.

Abu Nueym in (the book) ‘Al-Hilya’, and Al-Khateeb in (the book) ‘Al-Arbaeen’, by the chain from Al-Sundy, from Abdul Kheyr, from Ali^-asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww was recalled, I^-asws vowed (or I^-asws swore) that I^-asws will not place my^-asws robe upon my^-asws back until I^-asws have collected what is between the two covers!’ So, I^-asws did not place my^-asws robe until I^-asws had collected the Quran’’.^[99]

وَ فِي أَخْبَارِ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ آلَى أَنْ لَا يَضَعَ رِدَاءَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ إِلَّا لِلصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يُؤَلِّفَ الْقُرْآنَ وَ يَجْمَعَهُ فَانْقَطَعَ عَنْهُمْ مُدَّةً إِلَى أَنْ جَمَعَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِهِ فِي إِزَارٍ يَحْمِلُهُ وَ هُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ

And in Ahadeeth of People^-asws of the Household, he^-asws swore that he^-asws will not place his^-asws robe upon his^-asws shoulders except for the Salat until he^-asws had collected the Quran, and he^-asws did collect it. He^-asws cut off from them for a period until he^-asws had collected it. Then he^-asws came out to them with it in a loin cloth carrying it, and they were gathered in the Masjid.

فَأَنْكَرُوا مَصِيرَهُ بَعْدَ انْقِطَاعٍ مَعَ التِّيهِ‏ فَقَالُوا لِأَمْرٍ مَا جَاءَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَهُمْ وَضَعَ الْكِتَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ إِنِّي مُخَلِّفٌ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ وَ أَنَا الْعِتْرَةُ

They denied his^-asws fate after the cutting off, along with the wandering. They said for the matter of what Abu Al-Hassan^-asws had brought. When he^-asws was in their midst, he^-asws placed the Book between them, then said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am leaving behind you all what if you were to adhered with it, you will never stray – the Book of Allah^-azwj and my^-saww family^-asws, People^-asws of my^-saww Household, and this is the Book and I^-asws am the Family!’

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّانِي فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَكَ قُرْآنٌ فَعِنْدَنَا مِثْلُهُ فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيكُمَا

The second (Umar) stood up to him^-asws. He said to him^-asws, ‘If a Quran happens to be with you^-asws, with us is similar to it, so there is no need for us regarding you both!’

فَحَمَلَ ع الْكِتَابَ وَ عَادَ بِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَلْزَمَهُمُ الْحُجَّةَ.

He^-asws carried the Book and returned with it after necessitating them the argument’’.^[100]

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ طَوِيلٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ حَمَلَهُ وَ وَلَّى رَاجِعاً نَحْوَ حُجْرَتِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَراءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَ اشْتَرَوْا بِهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلًا فَبِئْسَ ما يَشْتَرُونَ‏

And in a lengthy Hadeeth from Al-Sadiq^-asws, he^-asws carried it and turned around returning towards his^-asws room, and he^-asws was saying: ‘but they cast it behind their backs and took a small price for it; so evil is that which they are buying [3:187]’.

وَ لِهَذَا قَرَأَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً جَمَعَهُ وَ قَرَأَ بِهِ وَ إِذَا قَرَأَ فَاتَّبِعُوا قِرَاءَتَهُ‏.

And for this reason, Ibn Masoud recited it. Ali^-asws collected it and recited it, and when he^-asws recited it, they followed his recitation’’.^[101]

Translator’s note – Please refer to the following two Verses – Surely, upon Us is its collection and its recitation [75:17] So when we recite it, then follow its recitation [75:18].

في خبر طويل‏ أنه قرأ رجلان ثلاثين آية من الأحقاف فاختلف في قراءتهما فقال ابن مسعود هذا الخلاف ما أقرؤه فذهبت بهما إلى النبي ص فغضب و علي عنده فقال علي رسول الله ص يأمركم أن تقرءوا كما علمتم.

In a lengthy Hadeeth, two men recited thirty Verses from Surah Al Ahqaaf. They differed in their recitations. Ibn Masoud said, ‘This is different to what I am reciting!’ He went with them both to the Prophet^-saww. He^-saww was angered, and Ali^-asws was in his^-saww presence. Ali^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww orders you all to recite it just as he^-saww has taught you!’’^[102]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Bureyd Al Ijaly who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws heard me and I was reciting to him^-asws, For him are successive Angels in front of him and behind him, who guard him by Allah’s Command. [13:11].

فَقَالَ مَهْ وَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ الْمُعَقِّبَاتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ الْمُعَقِّبَاتُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ رَقِيبٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ‏.

He^-asws said: ‘No, and how can the ‘successive’ be from in front him^-saww? But rather the successive would be from behind him^-saww. But rather, Allah^-azwj Sent down a watcher for him in front of him^-saww, and successive (Angels) from behind him^-saww protecting him^-saww by the Command of Allah^-azwj!’’^[103]

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Humran Bin Ayn who said,

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws said to me, and I had recited to him^-asws: For him are successive Angels in front of him and behind him, who guard him by Allah’s Command. [13:11]. He^-asws said: ‘And you are Arab people! Can the ‘successive’ be from in front of him^-saww?’

قُلْتُ كَيْفَ نَقْرَؤُهَا

I said, ‘And how should we recite it?’

قَالَ لَهُ مُعَقِّبَاتٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ رَقِيبٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ يَحْفَظُونَهُ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ‏.

He^-asws said to him: ‘The successive are from behind him^-saww, and a watcher is in front of him^-saww, protecting him^-saww by the Command of Allah^-azwj!’’^[104]

(The book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashi – Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Yazdad, from Yahya Bin Muhammad Al Razy, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said,

‘When Abu Al-Hassan^-asws was brought, he^-asws was taken to Al-Qadisiyyah and was not entered into Al-Kufa. He^-asws was taken on the outskirts of Al-Basra’.

قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ مُصْحَفاً وَ أَنَا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ فَفَتَحْتُهُ فَوَقَعَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ سُورَةُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَإِذَا هِيَ أَطْوَلُ وَ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا يَقْرَؤُهَا النَّاسُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^-asws sent a Quran to me while I was in Al-Qadisiyyah. I opened it and a Chapter fell in my hands which did not exist. It was longer and most than what the people were reciting’.

قَالَ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَشْيَاءَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I memorised things from it’.

قَالَ فَأَتَى مُسَافِرٌ وَ مَعَهُ مِنْدِيلٌ وَ طِينٌ وَ خَاتَمٌ فَقَالَ هَاتِ فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي الْمِنْدِيلِ وَ وَضَعَ‏ عَلَيْهِ الطِّينَ وَ خَتَمَهُ فَذَهَبَ عَنِّي مَا كُنْتُ حَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ فَجَهَدْتُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ مِنْهُ حَرْفاً وَاحِداً فَلَمْ أَذْكُرْهُ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I came to Musafir and with him was a towel and clay and a seal. He said, ‘Give!’ I handed it to him. He made it to be in the towel and placed the clay upon it, and sealed it. It went away from me what I had memorised from it. I struggled to remember one word from it, but I could not remember it’’.^[106]

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Ibrahim Bin Umar who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘In the Quran is what is (from the) past and what is current and what is to happen. In it were names of the men, these were thrown out, and rather the single name from it encompasses uncountable aspects. The successors^-asws recognise that’’.^[107]

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘It will never be hidden unto me^-asws what you had spent your night in. You altered, and you changed, and you replaced nine hundred words. You altered three hundred, and you changed three hundred, and you replaced three hundred. So woe be unto those who are writing the Book with their own hands, then they are saying, ‘This is from the Presence of Allah’, [2:79] – up to end of the Verse: and from what they are earning [2:79]’’.^[111]

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^-asws said: ‘The Book does not speak and will never speak, but Rasool-Allah^-saww, he is the speaker with the Book. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: This (Rasool) is Our Book, he is speaking to you with the Truth. [45:29]’.

Note – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I shall bring in interpretation by Al-Numani what evidence’s upon the changes and the distortions, and I found in an ancient correspondence, it’s attribution is like this: –

Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiya, from Sa’ad Al-Ash’ari Al-Qummi Abu Al-Qasim, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, and he is its author. It is reported by our elders, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, may the greeting be upon him^-asws’ – and he^-asws continued the Hadeeth up to he^-asws said: –

بَابُ التَّحْرِيفِ فِي الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي هِيَ خِلَافُ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مَشَايِخُنَا رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ عَنِ الْعُلَمَاءِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ تَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ‏

‘The subject of alterations in the Verses which are different to what Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed, from what is reported by our elders, may Allah^-azwj have Mercy upon them, from the Scholar^-asws from Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, are Words of the Majestic and Mighty: You are the best of the communities raised up for the people; you are enjoining with the goodness and forbidding from the evil and are believing in Allah; [3:110].

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِقَارِئِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَيْحَكَ خَيْرُ أُمَّةٍ يَقْتُلُونَ ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

Abu Abdullah^-asws said to a reciter of this Verse: ‘Woe be to you! Would the best community kill a son^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-saww be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws?’

فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَكَيْفَ هِيَ

He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws, so how is it?’

فَقَالَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أَئِمَّةٍ أَ مَا تَرَى إِلَى مَدْحِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ تَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ‏ فَمَدْحُهُ لَهُمْ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْنِ الْأُمَّةَ بِأَسْرِهَا

He^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj had Revealed it as: ‘You are best Imams^-asws!’ Can you see the Praise by Allah^-azwj for them^-asws in His^-azwj Words: you are enjoining with the goodness and forbidding from the evil and are believing in Allah? His^-azwj Praise for them^-asws is an evidence upon that He^-azwj did not Mean the whole community.

أَ لَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ فِي الْأُمَّةِ الزُّنَاةَ وَ اللَّاطَةَ وَ السُّرَّاقَ وَ قُطَّاعَ الطَّرِيقِ وَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ الْفَاسِقِينَ أَ فَتَرَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَدَحَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ سَمَّاهُمُ الْآمِرِينَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ النَّاهِينَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ كَلَّا مَا مَدَحَ اللَّهُ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ لَا سَمَّاهُمْ أَخْيَاراً بَلْ هُمُ الْأَشْرَارُ فِي سُورَةِ النَّحْلِ وَ هِيَ قِرَاءَةُ مَنْ قَرَأَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمَّةٌ هِيَ أَرْبى‏ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ-

Don’t you know that in the community there are the adulterers, and the sodomist(s), and the thieves, and the bandits, and the oppressors, and the mischief-makers? Do you view that Allah^-azwj would Praise them and Name them as enjoiners of the good and forbidders of the evil? Never! Allah^-azwj neither Praised them nor Named them as good people. But they are the evilest in Surah Al Nahl, and it is a recitation of the one who recites: that you could become a community which is more prosperous than (another) community. [16:92]’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِمَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ عِنْدَهُ وَيْحَكَ مَا أَرْبَى

Abu Abdullah^-asws said to the one recited this in his^-asws presence: ‘Woe be to you! It is not ‘A’rba’ (the most prosperous?’

فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا هُوَ

He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! So what is it?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَئِمَّةٌ هُمْ أَزْكَى مِنْ أَئِمَّتِكُمْ‏ إِنَّمَا يَبْلُوكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ.

He^-asws said: ‘But rather, Allah^-azwj Majestic and Mighty Revealed: ‘So that you would be Imams^-asws’. They^-asws are purer than your imams (leaders). But rather Allah^-azwj is Trying you with it’’.^[132]

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَرَأَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ عامٌ فِيهِ يُغاثُ النَّاسُ وَ فِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ‏ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَعْصِرُونَ يَعْصِرُونَ الْخَمْرَ

And it is Revealed that a man recited to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: Then there shall come after that a year in which it would rain for the people and during it they would be pressing’ [12:49]. He^-asws said: ‘Woe be to you! Which thing were they pressing? Were they pressing the wine?’

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَكَيْفَ

The man said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! How?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَ فِيهِ يُعْصَرُونَ أَيْ فِيهِ يُمْطَرُونَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ أَنْزَلْنا مِنَ الْمُعْصِراتِ ماءً ثَجَّاجاً-

He^-asws said: ‘But rather, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed it as: and during it they (clouds) would be squeezing [12:49], i.e., raining after years of famine, and the evidence upon that are His^-azwj Words: And We Send down from the clouds abundant water [78:14]’.

And a man recited to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘So when he fell down, it was clear to the Jinn that had they known the unseen, they would not have remained in the abasing torment [34:14]. Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘The Jinn knew that they did not know the unseen’.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَكَيْفَ هِيَ

The man said, ‘So how is it?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْإِنْسُ أَنْ لَوْ كَانَ الْجِنُّ يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ

He^-asws said: ‘but rather it was Revealed as: So when he fell, it was evident to the humans, if the Jinn had known the unseen, they would not have remained in abasing torment [34:14]’.

وَ مِثْلُهُ فِي آلِ عِمْرَانَ‏ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظالِمُونَ‏- فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ تُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ

And His^-azwj Words in Surah Al Naba: and the Kafir would be saying, ‘O! I wish I was dust!’ [78:40]: ‘But rather it is, ‘Oh I wish I was ‘Turabiyya’, i.e. Alawite, and that is because Rasool-Allah^-saww had teknonymed Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws, as ‘Abu Turab’’.

وَ مِثْلُهُ فِي‏ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ‏ قَوْلُهُ وَ إِذَا الْمَوَدَّةُ سُئِلَتْ‏ بِأَيِّ ذَنْبٍ قُتِلَتْ‏

Grant to us from our wives and our offspring, delight of our eyes, and Make for us Imams for the pious [25:74]’.

وَ مِثْلُهُ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً- قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ عُنِيَ بِقَوْلِهِ‏ جاؤُكَ‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا نَدْرِي

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Who does He^-azwj Mean by His^-azwj Words: ‘come to you’?’ The man said, ‘We don’t know’.

قَالَ إِنَّمَا عَنَى تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ جاؤُكَ‏ يَا عَلِيُ‏ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ‏ الْآيَةَ

He^-asws said: ‘But rather, the Blessed and Exalted Means in His^-azwj Words: ‘come to you’, O Ali^-asws, and sought Forgiveness of Allah and the Rasool [4:64] – the Verse’.

And His^-azwj Words: But no! By your Lord! They are not believing until they make you a judge regarding what they are quarrelling between them, then not find any objection within themselves from what you judge and they accept submissively [4:65], and that is because when it was during the farewell Hajj, four persons entered into the Kaaba. They vowed in what is between them, and they wrote an agreement that if Allah^-azwj Causes Muhammad^-saww to die, they would not let this command return to be among the Clan of Hashim^-as.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَأَبَى أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ إِلَّا كُفُوراً

And Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘Jibraeel^-as descended unto Muhammad^-saww: but most of the people refused (to accept) the Wilayah of Ali, except for the denying [17:89]’.

وَ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ مَنْشُورَةٌ هَكَذَا وَ اللَّهِ نَزَلَ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا سَيَنْشُرُ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَيَنْشُرُونَ إِلَى قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ أَمَّا الْفُجَّارُ فَيَحْشُرُونَ إِلَى خِزْيِ اللَّهِ وَ أَلِيمِ عَذَابِهِ

And a man recited unto Abu Ja’far^-asws: Every soul shall taste the death and be Resurrected [29:57]. Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘By Allah^-azwj! Jibraeel^-as descended with it unto Muhammad^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws. There isn’t anyone from this community except he will be Resurrected. The Momineen will be Resurrected to delight of their eyes, and as for the immoral, they will be gathered to the Disgrace by Allah^-azwj and pain of His^-azwj Punishment!’’

وَ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ هَكَذَا وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ‏

And he^-asws said: ‘This Verse was Revealed like this: And We Reveal from the Quran what is a healing and a Mercy for the Momineen, and it does not increase the ones unjust to the Progeny of Muhammad [17:82]’.

وَ قَالَ وَ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ هَكَذَا وَ قُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ شاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَ مَنْ شاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ إِنَّا أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ نَاراً أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا.

And he^-asws said: ‘And Jibraeel^-as descended with this Verse like this: And say: ‘The Truth is from your Lord. So the one who so desires to, let him believe, and the one who so desires to, let him disbelieve’. We have Prepared for the ones unjust to the Progeny of Muhammad of their rights, a Fire which would surround them in enclosures [18:29]’’.^[135]

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ أَ فَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَقْضُوا مَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا

And it is reported from Abu Al-Hassan^-asws the 1^st, he^-asws recited: So do they not ponder on the Quran, so they can fulfil what is upon them of the truth or are there locks upon (their) hearts [47:24]’.

وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقْرَأُ وَ إِنْ تَظَاهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلَاهُ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ صَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيّاً

And a man recited to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: They are not belying you, [6:33]. Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah^-azwj, they did bely him^-saww severest of the belying, but it was Revealed with the lightness, ‘belying you’, but the unjust ones are rejecting the Signs of Allah [6:33], i.e., they will not be coming with any truth to invalidate your^-saww truth with’.

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – By the chain to Ibn Al Batainy, from Ibn Abu Al A’la, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘For everything there is a heart, and heart of the Quran is (Surah) Yaseen.

مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي‏ نَهَارِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُمْسِيَ كَانَ فِي نَهَارِهِ مِنَ الْمَحْفُوظِينَ وَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ

One, who recites it before going to sleep, or during his day before the evening, would be among the secured ones and the recipients of sustenance until the evening.

وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي لَيْلَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَجِيمٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ

And one who recites it during the night before going to sleep, Allah^-azwj Allocates a thousand angels who keep him safe from every evil Pelted Satan^-la, and from every misfortune.

وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ فِي لَيْلَتِهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ حَضَرَ غُسْلَهُ ثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ وَ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهُ

And if he were to die during that day, Allah^-azwj would Make him to enter the Paradise, and thirty thousand angels would be present at his washing (of his body), all of them seeking Forgiveness for him, and escort him to his grave with seeking Forgiveness for him.

فَإِذَا أُدْخِلَ فِي لَحْدِهِ كَانُوا فِي جَوْفِ قَبْرِهِ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَ ثَوَابُ عِبَادَتِهِمْ لَهُ وَ فُسِحَ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَدَّ بَصَرِهِ وَ أُومِنَ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ نُورٌ سَاطِعٌ إِلَى أَعْنَانِ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ

When he enters into his grave, they would be in the middle of it worshiping Allah^-azwj, and the Rewards of their worship would be for him, and his grave would be extended for him to the extent of his vision, and he would be safe from the squeezing of the grave, and a light would not cease to be in his grave shining up to the sky until Allah^-azwj Extracts him from his grave’.

فَإِذَا أَخْرَجَهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ مَعَهُ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ وَ يُحَدِّثُونَهُ وَ يَضْحَكُونَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ حَتَّى يَجُوزُوا بِهِ الصِّرَاطَ وَ الْمِيزَانَ

When he comes out, the Angels of Allah^-azwj would not stop escorting him, and discussing with him, and smiling in his face, and giving him glad tidings with every goodness until they cross upon the Bridge with him, and at the Scale.

وَ يُوقِفُوهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَوْقِفاً لَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خلقا [خَلْقٌ‏] أَقْرَبَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاؤُهُ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ هُوَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَاقِفٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ لَا يَحْزَنُ مَعَ مَنْ يَحْزَنُ وَ لَا يَهْتَمُّ مَعَ مَنْ يَهْتَمُّ وَ لَا يَجْزَعُ مَعَ مَنْ يَجْزَعُ

And they would be pausing at such a pausing stop from Allah^-azwj, there would not happen to be any creature nearer than him in the Presence of Allah^-azwj except for the Angels of Proximity, and His^-azwj Messenger Prophets^-as. And he would be with the Prophets^-as, paused in front of Allah^-azwj, neither grieving along with the grieving ones, nor distressed along with the distressed ones, nor being terrified along with the terrified ones.

ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اشْفَعْ عَبْدِي أُشَفِّعْكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا تَشْفَعُ وَ سَلْنِي عَبْدِي أُعْطِكَ جَمِيعَ مَا تَسْأَلُ

Then the Lord^-azwj, Blessed and Exalted will be Saying to him: “Ask for intercession, My servant, I^-azwj shall Intercede in all what you ask intercession for, and ask Me^-azwj, I^-azwj shall grant you, My^-azwj servant, all what you ask for”.

فَيَسْأَلُ فَيُعْطَى وَ يَشْفَعُ فَيُشَفَّعُ وَ لَا يُحَاسَبُ فِيمَنْ يُحَاسَبُ وَ لَا يُوقَفُ مَعَ مَنْ يُوقَفُ وَ لَا يَذِلُّ مَعَ مَنْ يَذِلُّ وَ لَا يُكْبَتُ بِخَطِيئَةٍ وَ لَا بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلِهِ

He would ask, and he would be Given, and he would seek to intercede, and He^-azwj would (Accept) his intercession, and he will not be Reckoned among the ones who would be Reckoned with, nor would he be paused along with the pausing ones, nor be disgraced (along with) the disgraced ones, nor would his sins be Written down, nor anything from the evil of his deeds.

وَ يُعْطَى كِتَاباً مَنْشُوراً حَتَّى يَهْبِطُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ لِهَذَا الْعَبْدِ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ يَكُونُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏.

And he would be given a published book until he descends from the Presence of Allah. So the people would be saying in their unison, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj! There hasn’t been a single sin for this servant!’ And he would happen to be from the friends of Muhammad^-saww’’.^[139]

وَ خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَهْوَالَهُ وَ وَلِيَ قَبْضَ رُوحِهِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ يَضْمَنُ اللَّهُ لَهُ السَّعَةَ فِي مَعِيشَتِهِ وَ الْفَرَحَ عِنْدَ لِقَائِهِ وَ الرِّضَا بِالثَّوَابِ فِي آخِرَتِهِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَدْ رَضِيتُ عَنْ فُلَانٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرُوا لَهُ‏.

And Allah^-azwj will Make it easy for him, the pangs of death and its conditions. And during the taking of his soul, Allah^-azwj would Take Responsibility for his care during that time of his life, and will be happy when he meets Him^-azwj, and will be pleased with the Rewards in the Hereafter. And Allah^-azwj will Say to all of His^-azwj Angels, and the ones in the skies and the ones in the earth: “I^-azwj am Pleased with that person, therefore seek Forgiveness for him”.^[140]

وَ حَمَلَةُ الْقُرْآنِ الْمُحَفَّفُون بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ الْمَلْبُوسُونَ نُورَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ يَا حَمَلَةَ الْقُرْآنِ اسْتَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ بِتَوْقِيرِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَزِدْ لَكُمْ حُبّاً وَ يُحَبِّبْكُمْ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ

And bearers of the Quran are the ones surrounded with Mercy of Allah^-azwj, clothed in Noor. Allah^-azwj Said: “O bearers of the Quran! Seek to be loved by Allah^-azwj by dignifying the Book of Allah^-azwj, He^-azwj will Increase love for you and Cause you to be beloved to His^-azwj servants!”

يُدْفَعُ عَنْ مُسْتَمِعِ الْقُرْآنِ بَلْوَى الدُّنْيَا وَ عَنْ قَارِئِهَا بَلْوَى الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَمُسْتَمِعُ آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ثَبِيرٍ ذَهَباً وَ لَتَالِي آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى أَسْفَلِ التُّخُومِ

He^-azwj Repels afflictions of the world away from the intent listener of the Quran, and afflictions of the Hereafter from its reader’ and for the intent listener there is a Verse of the Book of Allah^-azwj which is better than (mount) Subeyr in gold; and for a reciter there is a Verse of the Book of Allah^-azwj which is superior to whatever is beneath the Throne up to the lowest bottom!

وَ إِنَّ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ سُورَةً يُسَمَّى الْعَزِيزَ يُدْعَى صَاحِبُهَا الشَّرِيفَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يُشَفَّعُ لِصَاحِبِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلَ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ

In the Book of Allah^-azwj there is a Chapter named as ‘the mighty’. It will call its companion as ‘the noble’ in the Presence of Allah^-azwj. On the Day of Qiyamah it will intercede for its companion like (the tribes) of Rabie and Muza’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَلَا وَ هِيَ سُورَةُ يس

Then the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Indeed, and it is Surah Yaseen!’

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا عَلِيُّ- اقْرَأْ يس فَإِنَّ فِي يس عَشَرَةَ بَرَكَاتٍ مَا قَرَأَهَا جَائِعٌ إِلَّا شَبِعَ وَ لَا ظَمْآنُ إِلَّا رَوِيَ وَ لَا عَارٍ إِلَّا كُسِيَ وَ لَا عَزَبٌ إِلَّا تَزَوَّجَ وَ لَا خَائِفٌ إِلَّا أَمِنَ وَ لَا مَرِيضٌ إِلَّا بَرَأَ وَ لَا مَحْبُوسٌ إِلَّا أُخْرِجَ وَ لَا مُسَافِرٌ إِلَّا أُعِينَ عَلَى سَفَرِهِ وَ لَا يَقْرَءُونَ عِنْدَ مَيِّتٍ إِلَّا خَفَّفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ لَا قَرَأَهَا رَجُلٌ لَهُ‏ ضَالَّةٌ إِلَّا وَجَدَهَا.

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! Read (Surah) Yaseen, for in (Surah) Yaseen there are ten Blessings. No hungry one will recite it except he would be satiated, nor a thirsty one except he will be saturated, nor a naked except he will be clothed, nor a bachelor except he will be married, nor a fearful except he would be safe, nor a sick except he will be cured, nor an imprisoned except he will come out, nor a traveller except he will be assisted upon his journey, nor will they be reading it in presence of a deceased except Allah^-azwj will Lighten from him, nor be recited by a man having lost a property except he would find it’’.^[143]

And from Abu Bakr who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Surah Yaseen is called, ‘The generaliser’. It generalises its companion goodness of the world and the Hereafter, and it defends him from afflictions of the world and the Hereafter, and it defends him from horrors of the Hereafter.

And it is named as ‘The defender’, and ‘The fulfiller’, and it defends its companion from every evil and fulfils every need for him.

One who reads it, it will equate for him to (having performed) twenty Hajj, and one who hears it, it will equate for him to a thousand Dinars (having been spent) in the way of Allah^-azwj, and one who writes it, then drinks it, a thousand cures will enter his inside, and a thousand Noor(s), and a thousand certainties, and a thousand Blessings, and a thousand Mercies, and it will remove from it every grudge and disease’’.^[148]

He will be Graced in the world with as vast as can be from the sustenance, and Allah^-azwj Let him be afflicted in his wealth, nor his children, nor his body with any evil from the Pelted Satan^-la, nor from an obstinate tyrant.

وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ فِي لَيْلِهِ أَمَاتَهُ اللَّهُ شَهِيداً وَ بَعَثَهُ شَهِيداً وَ أَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي دَرَجَةٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ.

Appendix: Holy Verses 7:54-56

VERSE 54

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ ۗ أَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْأَمْرُ ۗ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ {54}

Surely, your Lord is Allah Who Created the skies and the earth in six days, then Established upon the Throne; He Covers the night over the day, which it pursues incessantly; and the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His Command. Indeed, for Him is the Creation and the Command. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [7:54]

العياشي: عن أبي جعفر، عن رجل، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: «إن الله خلق السماوات و الأرض في ستة أيام، فالسنة تنقص ستة أيام».

Al-Ayyashi, has narrated:

From a man who has said that Abu Ja’far^-asws has narrated (on behalf of) Abu Abdullah^-asws that he said: ‘Allah^-azwj Created the skies and the earth in six days, so the year is six days’ short’.^[243]

عن الصباح بن سيابة، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال: إن الله خلق الشهور اثني عشر شهرا، و هي ثلاثمائة و ستون يوما، فحجز عنها ستة أيام خلق فيها السماوات و الأرض، فمن ثم تقاصرت الشهور».

From Al-Sabah Bin Sayabat,

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Allah^-azwj Created the months as twelve months, and these are of three hundred and sixty days. So He^-azwj Separated six days from it in which He^-azwj created the skies, and the earth. So from then the months are deficient’ (29 days in six months).^[244]

عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَيْرَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ وَ مَا كَانَ لِيَخْلُقَ الشَّرَّ قَبْلَ الْخَيْرِ وَ فِي يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ وَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ خَلَقَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ خَلَقَ أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ وَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ خَلَقَ أَقْوَاتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

From him, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullah^-asws saying that: ‘Allah^-azwj Created the good on the day of Sunday, and He^-azwj did not Create the evil before the good. And during the day of Sunday and the Monday Created the firmaments and created their sustenance during the day of Tuesday, and Created the Skies on the day of Wednesday and Thursday, and Created their sustenance on the day of Friday’.^[245]

و عنه، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن علي بن إسماعيل، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن إبراهيم بن عمر اليماني، عن أبي الطفيل، عن أبي جعفر، عن علي بن الحسين (عليهما السلام) قال: «إن الله عز و جل خلق العرش أرباعا، لم يخلق قبله إلا ثلاثة أشياء: الهواء، و القلم، و النور، ثم خلقه من أنوار مختلفة، فمن ذلك النور نور أخضر اخضرت منه الخضرة، و نور أصفر اصفرت منه الصفرة، و نور أحمر احمرت منه الحمرة، و نور أبيض و هو نور الأنوار، و منه ضوء النهار.

And from him (Al Sadouq) who said, ‘Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ahmad Bin Al Waleed narrated to us, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, from Ali Bin Ismail, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar Al Yamani, from Abu Al Tufayl,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws, from Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws having said: ‘Surely, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Throne as the fourth, and did not Created before it except for three things – the Air, and the Pen, and the Light. Then He^-azwj Created a variety of Lights. Thus, from that Light is a Green light, the greenery is green from it; and a Yellow Light, the yellowness is yellow from it; and a Red Light, the redness is red from it; and a White Light, and it is a light of the Lights, and from it is the illumination of the day.

ثم جعله سبعين ألف طبق، غلظ كل طبق كأول العرش إلى أسفل السافلين، ليس من ذلك طبق إلا يسبح بحمد ربه، و يقدسه بأصوات مختلفة، و ألسنة غير مشتبهة، و لو أذن للسان منها فأسمع شيئا مما تحته لهدم الجبال و المدائن و الحصون، و لخسف البحار، و لأهلك ما دونه.

Then He^-azwj Made it as seventy thousand layers, the thickness of each layer being like the height of the Throne to its lowest low. There is none from that layer except that it Glorifies with the Praise of its Lord^-azwj, and Extols His^-azwj Holiness by different voices, and languages which do not resemble each other. And had a language from it were to call out, a something from it were to be heard from what is beneath it, the mountains would be demolished, and the cities, and the forts, and the oceans would be submerged, and what is besides it would perish.

له ثمانية أركان، على كل ركن منها من الملائكة ما لا يحصي عددهم إلا الله عز و جل، يسبحون في الليل و النهار لا يفترون، و لو أحسن شي‏ء مما فوقه ما قام لذلك طرفة عين، بينه و بين الإحساس الجبروت و الكبرياء و العظمة و القدس و الرحمة ثم العلم، و ليس وراء هذا مقال».

For it (The Throne) are eight corners. Upon each corner from it are (so many) Angels that none can count their number except for Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. They are Glorifying during the night and the day, not cooling down. And had there been something better than what is above it, they would not stand to that even for the blink of an eye, between Him^-azwj and the Sense of the Mightiness, and the Greatness, and the Magnificence, and the Holiness, and the Mercy, then the Knowledge. And there is nothing (more) behind this speech’.^[246]

ابن بابويه، قال: حدثنا تميم بن عبد الله بن تميم القرشي، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن أحمد بن علي الأنصاري، عن أبي الصلت عبد السلام بن صالح الهروي،

Ibn Babuwayh said, ‘Tameem Bin Abdullah Bin Tameem al Qarshy narrated to us, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Ansary, from Abu Al Salt Abdul Salaam Bin Salih Al Harwy who said,

قال أبا الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا (عليه السلام): «إن الله تبارك و تعالى خلق العرش و الماء و الملائكة قبل خلق السموات و الأرض، و كانت الملائكة تستدل بأنفسها و بالعرش و بالماء على الله عز و جل، ثم جعل عرشه على الماء، ليظهر بذلك قدرته للملائكة، فيعلمون أنه على كل شي‏ء قدير، ثم رفع العرش بقدرته و نقله فجعله فوق السماوات السبع،

‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws said: ‘Surely Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created the Throne, and the water, and the Angels before He^-azwj Created the skies and the earth. And the Angels used to infer by themselves, and by the Throne, and by the water, to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Then He^-azwj Made His^-azwj Throne to be upon the water, in order to manifest His^-azwj Power by that to the Angels, so that they would come to know that He^-azwj has Power over everything. Then He^-azwj Raised the Throne by His^-azwj Power and Transferred it, so He^-azwj Made it to be above the seventh sky.

و خلق السماوات و الأرض في ستة أيام، و هو مستول على عرشه، و كان قادرا على أن يخلقها في طرفة عين، و لكنه عز و جل خلقها في ستة أيام، ليظهر للملائكة ما يخلقه منها شيئا بعد شي‏ء، فيستدل بحدوث ما يحدث على الله تعالى مرة بعد اخرى، و لم يخلق الله عز و جل العرش لحاجة به إليه، لأنه غني عن العرش و عن جميع ما خلق، و لا يوصف بالكون على العرش، لأنه ليس بجسم، تعالى الله عن صفة خلقه علوا كبيرا،

And He^-azwj Created the skies and the earth in six days [7:54], and He^-azwj Took Control upon His^-azwj Throne. And He^-azwj has all the Power to Create it in the blink of an eye, but the Mighty and Majestic Created it in six days, in order to Manifest to the Angels what He^-azwj Created from it, a thing after a thing. So they were evidenced by the occurrence of what occurred, to Allah^-azwj the High, time and again. And Allah^-azwj did not Create the Throne for any need of His^-azwj, because He^-azwj is above any need of the Throne, and from all of what He^-azwj Created. He^-azwj cannot be described to be upon the Throne, because He^-azwj has no physical form. Elevated is Allah^-azwj from the attributes of His^-azwj creatures, Higher and Greater.’^[247]

صاحب (ثاقب المناقب): أسنده إلى أبي هاشم الجعفري، عن محمد بن صالح الأرمني، قال: قلت لأبي محمد الحسن العسكري (عليه السلام): عرفني عن قول الله تعالى: لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ. فقال (عليه السلام): «لله الأمر من قبل أن يأمر، و من بعد أن يأمر بما يشاء».

The author of Saaqib Al-Manaqib, with his chain going up to Hashim Al-Ja’fary, from Muhammad Bin Salih Al-Armany said,

‘I said to Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Al-Askari^-asws, ‘Make me to understand the Words of Allah^-azwj the Exalted: For Allah is the Command, from before and from after [30:4], so he^-asws said: ‘For Allah^-azwj’ is the Command before He^-azwj Commands, and from after He^-azwj Commands with whatsoever He^-azwj so Desires to’.

فقلت في نفسي: هذا تأويل قول الله: أَلا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ. فأقبل (عليه السلام) علي، و قال: «هو كما أسررت في نفسك أَلا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ».

I said to myself, ‘This is the explanation of the Words of Allah^-azwj Indeed, for Him is the Creation and the Command. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [7:54]’. So he^-asws turned towards me and said: ‘It is just as you are concealing it within yourself, Indeed, for Him is the Creation and the Command. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [7:54]’.

فقلت: أشهد أنك حجة الله، و ابن حجته على عباده.

I said, ‘I hereby testify that you^-asws are the Divine Authority of Allah^-azwj, and a son^-asws of the Divine Authority over His^-azwj servants’.^[248]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘The desire (الرَّغْبَةَ) was mentioned and he^-asws displayed the front of the two palms towards the sky; (and said): ‘The awe (الرَّهْبَةُ) is like this’, and he^-asws make the back of his^-asws palm to be towards the sky; (and said): ‘And the beseeching (التَّضَرُّعُ) is like this’, and he^-asws moved his^-asws index finger to the right and the left; (and said): ‘The devotion (التَّبَتُّلُ) is like this’, and he^-asws raised his^-asws finger once and dropped it once; (and said): ‘The invocation (الِابْتِهَالُ) is like this’, and he^-asws extended his^-asws hand and turned his^-asws face towards the Qiblah, (and said): ‘And there is no invocation until the tears flow’.^[249]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ زُرَارَةَ قَالَا قُلْنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ الْمَسْأَلَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَالَ تَبْسُطُ كَفَّيْكَ قُلْنَا كَيْفَ الِاسْتِعَاذَةُ قَالَ تُفْضِي بِكَفَّيْكَ وَ التَّبَتُّلُ الْإِيمَاءُ بِالْإِصْبَعِ وَ التَّضَرُّعُ تَحْرِيكُ الْإِصْبَعِ وَ الِابْتِهَالُ أَنْ تَمُدَّ يَدَيْكَ جَمِيعاً .

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Zurara who both said,

‘We said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘How is the asking to Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted (supposed to be)?’ He^-asws said: ‘Extending your palms’. We said, ‘How is the seeking of the Refuge (supposed to be)?’ He^-asws said: ‘Displaying with your palms; and the devotion is the gesturing with the finger; and the beseeching is moving the finger; and the invoking is that you extend your hands together’.^[250]

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي هَمَّامٍ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ دَعْوَةُ الْعَبْدِ سِرّاً دَعْوَةً وَاحِدَةً تَعْدِلُ سَبْعِينَ دَعْوَةً عَلَانِيَةً .

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Hammam Ismail Bin Hammam,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘One secretive supplication of the servant equates to seventy supplications publicly’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى دَعْوَةٌ تُخْفِيهَا أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ دَعْوَةً تُظْهِرُهَا .

And in another report, (He^-asws said): ‘A concealed supplication is more superior in the Presence of Allah^-azwj than seventy apparent supplications’.^[251]

VERSE 56

وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوهُ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا ۚ إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ {56}

And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order, and supplicate to Him fearing and wishing; surely the Mercy of Allah is close to the good doers [7:56]

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ كَانَتْ فَاسِدَةً فَأَصْلَحَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها .

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Muskan, from Muyassar has narrated:

It was said to Abu Ja’far^-asws about the Words of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order [7:56], so he^-asws said: ‘O Muyassar, verily the earth used to be in a state of disorder, so Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Corrected it by His^-azwj Prophet^-saww, therefore He^-azwj Said: And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order [7:56]’.^[252]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سِبَابُ الْمُؤْمِنِ فُسُوقٌ وَ قِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ وَ أَكْلُ لَحْمِهِ مَعْصِيَةٌ وَ حُرْمَةُ مَالِهِ كَحُرْمَةِ دَمِهِ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Insulting the Momin is a mischief and killing him is disbelief, and consuming his flesh (backbiting) is a disobedience, and the sanctity of his wealth is like the sanctity of his blood’.^[253]

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِرَجُلٍ أَنْتَ وَ مَالُكَ لِأَبِيكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ مَا أُحِبُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ مَالِ ابْنِهِ إِلَّا مَا احْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفَسَادَ.

Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said to a man: ‘You and your wealth is for your father’. Then Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘And I^-asws do not like it for him that he should take from the wealth of his son except what he is needy to it, from what is a must from it. Allah^-azwj Mighty does not Love the mischief’.^[254]

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمَذَانِيِّ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي التَّزْوِيجِ فَأَتَانِي كِتَابُهُ بِخَطِّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِذَا جَاءَكُمْ مَنْ تَرْضَوْنَ خُلُقَهُ وَ دِينَهُ فَزَوِّجُوهُ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ فَسادٌ كَبِيرٌ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Hamdany who said,

‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding the marriage, so his^-asws letter came to me in his^-asws own handwriting: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘When there comes to you one whose manners and his Religion you are pleased with, so marry (your daughter) to him, or if you do not, there would occur strife in the land and a great mischief’.^[255]

And when Musa said to his people: ‘Allah is Commanding you that you should be slaughtering a cow’. They said: ‘Are you taking us for mockery?’ He said: ‘I seek Refuge with Allah from becoming one of the ignorant ones’. [2:67]
