Ibn Babuwayh, by his chain, from Yazeed Bin Khalifat, from Abu Abdullah asws having said: The one who recites: The time approached [54:1] (Surah Al-Qamar), Allah azwj would Bring him out from his grave upon a she-camel from the she-camels of the Paradise. 1 و من )خواص القرآن(: روي عن النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( أنه قال:»من قرأ هذه السورة بعثه اهلل ععاي يوم القيامة و وج ه كالقمر ليلة البدر مسفرا على وجه اخلالئق And from Khawas Al-Quran It has been reported from the Prophet saww having said: The one who recites this Chapter (Surah Al-Qamar), Allah azwj the Exalted would Resurrect him on the Day of Judgement, and his face would be like the moon on the night of the full moon, continuously emitting light from his face upon the creatures. و من قرأها كل ليلة ك ان أضل ل و م ن كتب ا ي وم اجلمع ة وق ت اله الة الل ر و جعل ا و عمامت ه أو ععلق ا ك ان وجي ا أينم ا قهد و طلب«. And one who recites it every night, it would be better. And one who writes it on the Day of Friday at the time of the Al-Zohr Salat, and keeps it in his turban or attaches it (as an amulet), it would be reasonable, wherever he may intend and seek. 2 و قال رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله(:»منكتب ا يوم اجلمعة وقت الل ر و عرك ا و عمامته أو علق ا عليه كان وجي ا عند الناس حمبوبا«. 1 ثواب األعمال:. 116 2 Tafseer Al Burhan H10257 2 out of 32
And Rasool-Allah saww said: One who writes it (Surah Al-Qamar) on the Day of Friday at the time of Al-Zohr Salat and leaves it in his turban, or attaches it (as an amulet), would be a reasonable one and will be loved by the people. 3 و قال الهادق )عليه السالم(:»منكتب ا يوم اجلمعة عند صالة الل ر و علق ا على عمامته كان عند الناس وجي ا و مقب و و س لت عليه األمور الهعبة بإذن اهلل ععاي«. And Al-Sadiq asws said: The one who writes it on the Day of Friday during Al Zohr Salat, and attaches it upon his turban, would become acceptable in the presence of the people and his difficult affairs would be easy by the Permission of Allah azwj. 4 VERSES 1 & 2 The time approached and the moon split apart [54:1] اق ت ر ب ت الس اع ة و ان ش ق ال ق م ر }1{ و إ ن ي ر و ا آي ة ي ع ر ض وا و ي ق ول وا س ح ر م س ت م ر }2{ And if they see a Sign they turn aside and are saying, Continuous sorcery! [54:2] مث قال علي بن إبراهيم: حدثنا حبيب بن احلسن بن أبان اآلجري قال: حدثنا حممد بن هشام عن حمم د ق ال: ح دثنا ي ون قال: قال ]يل[ أبو عبد اهلل )عليه السالم(:»اجتمع أربعة عشر رجال أصحاب العقبة ليلة أربع عشرة من ذي احلجة ضقالوا للنيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله(: ما من نيب إ و له آية ضما آيتك و ليلتك هذه Then Ali Bin Ibrahim said, It has been narrated to us by Habeeb Ibn Al-Hassan Bin Aban Al-Ajary, from Muhammad Bin Hisham, from Muhammad, from Yunus who said, Abu Abdullah asws said to me: Fourteen companions of Al-Aqba 5 gathered on the night of the fourteenth of Zilhijja, and they said to the Prophet saww, There is none from the Prophets as except that he as had a miracle to show, so what is your saww miracle in this night of yours saww? ضقال ]النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله([: ما الذي عريدون ضقالوا: إن يكن لك عند ربك قدر ضأمر القمر أن ينقطع قطعتني.

Allah azwj Conveys Greetings to you saww and is Saying to you saww : I azwj have Commanded everything to be obedient to you saww, therefore raise your saww head, and order the moon that it should split into two pieces. So it split into two pieces. The Prophet saww performed Sajdah in appreciation to Allah azwj, and our asws Shias (also) did Sajdah. Then the Prophet saww raised his saww head, and they raised their heads. Then they said: Return it to what it was! So he saww returned it to what it was. Then they said, Break its head! So he saww ordered it, and it split. ضسجد النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( كرا هلل و سجد يعتنا ضقالوا: يا حممد حني عقدم سفارنا من الشام و ال يمن نس أ م م ا رأوا و هذه الليلة ضإن يكونوا رأوا مثل ما رأينا علمنا أنه من رب ك و إن ي روا مث ل م ا رأين ا علمن ا أن ه سحرس حرعنا ب ه ض أنزل اهلل: اق ت ر ب ت الس اع ة إي آخر السورة«. The Prophet saww performed Sajdah in appreciation to Allah azwj, and our asws Shias (also) did Sajdah. They said, O Muhammad saww! When our travellers come back from Syria and the Yemen, we will ask them what they saw in this night. So if they have (also) seen the like of what we saw, we will know that it is from your saww Lord azwj. And if they did not see the like of what we saw, we will know that it is sorcery which you saww have enchanted us with. Therefore Allah azwj Revealed: The time approached [54:1] up to the end of the Chapter. 6 الشيخ و )أماليه(: عن أمحد بن حممد بن الهلت قال: حدثنا ابن عقدة يعين أمحد بن حممد بن سعيد ق ال: ح دثين عل ي ب ن حممد بن علي احلسيين قال: حدثنا جعفر بن حممد بن عيسى قال: حدثنا عبيد اهلل بن علي عن علي بن موسى عن أبيه ع ن ج ده ع ن آبائ ه ع ن عل ي )عل ي م الس الم( ق ال: انش ق القم ر لك ة ضلقت ني ضق ال رس ول اهلل )ص لى اهلل علي ه و آل ه(: ا دوا ا دوا هبذا«. عبي Al-Sheykh (Al-Sadouq) in his Amaali From Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Salt, from Ibn Uqdat, meaning Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Husayni, from Ja far Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ubeydullah Bin Ali, From Ali asws Bin Musa asws, from his asws father asws, from his asws grandfather asws, from his asws forefathers asws, from Ali asws having said: The moon split into two halves at Makkah, so Rasool-Allah saww said: Bear witness!

Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al-Nu mani, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Hazim, from Ubeys Bin Hisham Al-Nashiry, from Abdullah Bin Jabalat, from Abdul Samad Bin Basheer, Abu Abdullah asws Ja far asws Bin Muhammad asws (replied) when Amarat Al-Hamdany asked him asws, May Allah azwj Keep you asws well! The people are reporting that you asws are claiming that there will happen to be a voice from the sky? ضقال له:» عرو عين و ارو عن أيب كان أيب يقول: هو و كتاب اهلل عز و جل: إ ن ن ش أ ن ن ز ل ع ل ي م م ن الس ماء آي ة ض ل ل ت أ ع ناق م ا خاض ع ني So he asws said: Do not report it from me asws, and report it from my asws father asws. My asws father asws had said: It is in the Book of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: If We Desired to, We would Send down upon them a Sign from the sky, so their necks would be humbled to it [26:4]. ضيؤمن أهل األرض مجيعا للهو ]األول[ ضإذا كان من الغد صعد إبلي اللعني حىت يتوارى و جو السماء مث ينادي: أ إن عثمان قتل مللوما ضاطلبوا بدمه So, on that day, all the people of the earth would believe in the first voice.

And these are the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: And if they see a Sign they turn aside and are saying, Continuous sorcery!

Ali Bin Ibrahim The Words of the Exalted: And they are belying it and following their whims [54:3], i.e., they used to follow their opinions, and were belying their Prophets as, And there had come to them from the news wherein was deterrence [54:4] - i.e., advice. يء ن ك ر قال: اإلمام ]إذا خرج[ يدعوهم إي ما ينكرون. و قوله ععاي: ض ت و ل ع ن م ي و م ي د ع الد اع إ ي And the Words of the Exalted: Therefore turn away from them.

The first one is Noah as where he as said: Lord azwj! I am overcome, so Help! [54:10]. Thus if a speaker were to say this without being in fear, then he has committed Kufr, and there is an excuse only for the successor asws. 12 VERSES 11-16 ض ف ت ح ن ا أ ب و اب الس م اء ل اء م ن م ر }11{ So We Opened the gates of the sky with water pouring out [54:11] و ض ج ر ن ا األ ر ض ع ي ون ا ض ال ت ق ى ال م اء ع ل ى أ م ر ق د ق د ر }12{ And We Burst the ground with springs, so the water gathered upon a Predetermined matter [54:12] و مح ل ن اه ع ل ى ذ ا أ ل و اح و د س ر }13{ And We Carried him upon (a ship) of panels and nails [54:13] ت ر ي ب أ ع ي ن ن ا ج ز اء ل م ن ك ان ك ف ر }14{ Sailing before Our eyes, being a Recompense for who was denied [54:14] و ل ق د ع ر ك ن اه ا آي ة ض ل م ن م د ك ر }15{ And We have Left it as a Sign, so is there anyone to take heed?

So if Allah azwj Intends to Punish a people by some kind of torment, He azwj Reveals to the Angel in charge of that particular type of the winds by which He azwj Intends to Punish them by. So the Angel orders it and it get excited like a lion gets excited when bothered. ق ال و ل ك ل ر يح م ن ن اس م أ م ا ع س م ع ق و ل ه ع ع اي ك ذ ب ت عاد ض ك ي ف كان ع ذايب و ن ذ ر إ ن ا أ ر س ل نا ع ل ي م ر يا ص ر ص را و ي و م حن م س ت م ر و ق ال الر يح ال ع ق يم و ق ال ر يح ض ي ا ع ذاب أ ل يم و ق ال ض أ صاهب ا إ ع هار ض يه نار ض اح ت ر ق ت و م ا ذ ك ر م ن الر ي اح ال ي ع ذ ب الل ه هب ا م ن ع ه اه He asws said: And for every wind from these is a name.

[54:18] We Sent upon them a wind (called) Sarsar, during a Day of continuous bad luck [54:19]. And Said: the destructive wind (Al-Aqeem) [51:41]. And Said: a (blast of) wind wherein is a painful Punishment [46:24]. And Said: Then a tornado in which is fire, hits it, so it gets incinerated [2:266]. And (others) from winds which have not been Mentioned by which Allah azwj Punishes the ones who disobey Him azwj. 12 out of 32

Tell them that Allah azwj has Made a share for this she-camel, from the water, that it would drink from it one day and for you would be to drink for a day. ك ان ت الن اق ة إ ذ ا ك ان ي و م ر هب ا ر ب ت ال م اء ذ ل ك ال ي و م ض ي ح ل ب ون ا ض ال ي ب ق ى ص غ ري و ك ب ري إ ر ب م ن ل ب ن ذ ل ك ض إ ذ ا ا ي و م م ك ان الل ي ل و أ ص ب ح وا غ د و ا إ ي م ائ م ض ش ر ب وا م ن ه ذ ل ك ال ي و م و ع ش ر ب الن اق ة ذ ل ك ال ي و م ض م ك ث وا ب ذ ل ك م ا اء الل ه And the day which was designated for the she-camel to drink, it would drink the water during that day. They would then milk her, and there did not remain any young one or old one except that he drank from her milk in the day of theirs when it was the night time. And in the morning they would drink from the water, and the she-camel would not drink from it during that day. So that situation prevailed until such time as Allah azwj so Desired it to. مث إ ن م ع ت و ا ع ل ى الل ه و م ش ى ب ع ل م إ ي ب ع ع و ق ال وا اع ق ر وا ه ذ ه الن اق ة و اس ت ي وا م ن ا ن ر ض ى أ ن ي ك ون ل ن ا ر ب ي و م و ا ر ب ي و م Then they rebelled against Allah azwj and some of them walked towards the others and said, Slay this she-camel, and be relaxed from it.

So there came to them a red, blonde, blue-eyed man, of an adulterous birth, whose father was unknown, called Qudaar. A wretched one of all wretched ones of a sinister character, and they made a reward for him, for it. ض ل م ا ع و ج ت الن اق ة إ ي ال م اء ال ذ ي ك ان ت ع ر د ه ع ر ك ا ح ىت ر ب ت ال م اء و أ ق ب ل ت ر اج ع ة ض ق ع د ا و ط ر يق ا ض ل ر ب ا ب الس ي ف ض ر ب ة ض ل م ع ع م ل ي ئا ض ل ر ب ا ض ر ب ة أ خ ر ى ض ق ت ل ا و خ ر إ ي األ ر ض ع ل ى ج ن ب ا و ه ر ب ض ه يل ا ح ىت ص ع د إ ي اجل ب ل ض ر غ ى ث ال ث م ر ا إ ي الس م اء So when the she-camel went towards the water to drink from it, he left it until it had drunk the water. When it returned, he sat waiting for it upon its path. He struck her with the sword but it did not kill her. So he struck at it again and killed her and it fell down upon the earth on its side, and its young ones fled until they sat upon the mountain. They cried out three times towards the sky. و أ ق ب ل ق و م ص ال ح ض ل م ي ب ق أ ح د م ن م إ ر ك ه و ض ر ب ت ه و اق ت س م وا حل م ا ض يم ا ب ي ن م ن ا ض ل م ا ر أ ى ذ ل ك ص ال ح أ ق ب ل إ ل ي م ض ق ال ي ا ق و م م ا د ع اك م إ ي م ا ص ن ع ت م أ ع ه ي ت م ر ب ك م م ض ل م ي ب ق م ن م ص غ ري و ل ك ب ري إ أ ك 17 out of 32

So tell them that I azwj will be Sending upon you all My azwj Punishment after three days, and if they were to repent and return (from their ways), I azwj shall Accept their repentance and Prevent it from them, and if they do not repent and do not return (from their ways), I azwj will Send to them My azwj Punishment on the third day. ض أ ع اه م ص ال ح )عليه السالم( ض ق ال م ي ا ق و م إ ين ر س ول ر ب ك م إ ل ي ك م و ه و ي ق ول ل ك م إ ن أ ن ت م ع ب ت م و ر ج ع ت م و اس ت غ ف ر غف ر ل ك م و ع ب ت ع ل ي ك م So Salih as came and said to them: O people!
