CHAPTER 16 AL-NAHL (128 VERSES) VERSES 1-64 ب س م الل ه الر ح م ن الر ح يم MERITS ابن بابويه: بإسناده عن عاصم بن محيد احلناط عن حممد بن مسلم عن أيب جعفر )عليه السالم( قال:»من قرأ سورة النحل يفكل شهر كفي املغرم يف الدنيا. و سبعني نوعا من أنواع البالء أهونه اجلنون و اجلذام و الربص وكان مسكنه يف جنة عدن و هي وسط اجلنان«. Ibn Babuwayh, by his chain, from Aasim Bin Hameed Al Hanaat, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, Abu Ja far asws has said: One who recites Surah Al-Nahl during every month, it would suffice him against the creditors of the world, and seventy types of afflictions, the least of these being the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo, and his dwelling would be in the Garden of Eden, and it is in the middle of the Gardens (of Paradise). 1 و من )خواص القرآن(: روي عن النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( أنه قال:»من قرأ هذه السورة مل حياسبه اهلل تعاىل مبا أنعم عليه و إن مات يومه أو ليلته و تالهاكان له من األجركالذي مات و أحسن الوصية And from (the book) Khawas Al Quran It is reported from the Prophet saww that he saww said: One who recites this Chapter (Surah Al-Nahl), Allah azwj will not Reckon him with whatever He azwj had Favoured upon him, and if he were to die during his day or his night and had had recited it, there would be for him from the Recompense like the one who died and had the best bequest. و من كتبها و دفنها يف بستان احرتق مجيعه و إن تركت يف منزل قوم هلكوا قبل السنة مجيعهم«. And one who writes it and buries it in an orchard, it would burn down the entirety of it, and if he leaves it in a house of a people, they would be destroyed before the year, altogether. 2 1 2 ثواب األعمال:. 107 مجمع البيان 535 6: مثله 3 out of 60
و عن الصادق )عليه السالم( قال:»منكتبها و جعلها يف حائط البستان مل تبق شجرة حتمل إال و سقط محلها و تنثر And from Al-Sadiq asws having said: One who writes it (Surah Al-Nahl) and makes it to be in a wall of the orchard, there would not remain a tree bearing fruit except and its load would fall and scatter. و إن جعلها يف منزل قوم بادوا و انقرضوا من أوهلم إىل آخرهم يف تلك السنة And if he makes it to be in a house of a people, they would become remote and extinct, from their first one to their last one, during that very year. فاتق اهلل- يا فاعله- و ال تعمله إال لظامل«. Therefore, fear Allah azwj, O its doer, and do not do it except to an unjust one!. 3 VERSES 1 & 2 أ ت ى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه و ت ع اىل س ب ح ان ه ع م ا ي ش ر ك ون }1{ The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [16:1] ي ن ز ل ال م ال ئ ك ة ب الر وح م ن أ م ر ه ع ل ى م ن ي ش اء م ن ع ب اد ه أ ن أ ن ذ ر وا أ ن ه ال إ ل ه إ ال أ ن ا ف ات ق و ن }2{ He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit from His Command upon one He so Desires to from His servants that they should be warning, that there is no god except Me, therefore fear Me [16:2] حممد بن إبراهيم النعماين قال: أخربنا علي بن أمحد عن عبيد اهلل بن موسى العلوي قال: حدثنا علي بن احلسني عن علي بن حسان عن عبد الرمحن بن كثري عن أيب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم( يف قوله عز و جل: أ تى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه. قال:»هو أمرنا أمر اهلل عز و جل أن ال يستعجل به حىت يؤيده اهلل بثالثة أجناد: املالئكة و املؤمنني و الرعب و خروجه كخروج رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( و ذلك قوله عز و جل: ك ما أ خ ر ج ك ر ب ك م ن ب ي ت ك ب احل ق «. Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al No mani, from Ali Bin Ahmad, from Ubeydullah Bin Musa Al Alawy, from Ali Bin Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Hisaan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it [16:1], 3 خواص القرآن: 43 )مخطوط( 4 out of 60
he asws said: It is our asws matter (Al-Qaim asws ), the Command of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic, that there is no hastening of it until Allah azwj Supports it with three armies the Angels, and the Momineen, and the fear. And his asws (Al-Qaim asws ) s rising would be like the rising of Rasool-Allah saww, and these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Just as your Lord Caused you to go forth from your house with the Truth [8:5]. 4 أبو جعفر حممد بن جرير الطربي يف )مسند فاطمة(: قال: أخربين أبو املفضل حممد بن عبد اهلل قال: أخربنا حممد بن مهام قال: أخربنا جعفر بن حممد بن مالك قال: حدثنا علي بن يونس اخلزاز عن إمساعيل بن عمر بن أبان عن أبيه عن أيب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم( قال:»إذا أراد اهلل قيام القائم )عليه السالم( بعث جربئيل )عليه السالم( يف صورة طائر أبيض فيضع إحدى رجليه على الكعبة و االخرى على بيت املقدس مث ينادي بأعلى صوته أ تى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه Abu Ja far Muhammad Bin Jareer Al Tabary in (the book) Masnad Fatima, said, Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah informed me, from Muhammad Bin Hamam, from Ja far Bin Muhammad Bin Maalik, from Ali Bin Yunus Al Khazaz, from Ismail Bin Umar Bin Abaan, from his father, Abu Abdullah asws has said: When Allah azwj Intends Al-Qaim asws to rise, He azwj would Send Jibraeel as in the image of a white bird. So he as would place one of his feet upon the Kaaba, and the other upon Bayt Al-Maqdas, then he as would call out in a loud voice: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it [16:1]. - قال- فيحضر القائم فيصلي عند مقام إبراهيم ركعتني مث ينصرف و حواليه أصحابه و هم ثالمثائة و ثالثة عشر رجال إن فيهم ملن يسري من فراشه ليال فيخرج و معه احلجر فيلقيه فتعشب األرض«. He asws said: So, Al-Qaim asws would appear, and Pray two Cycles at Maqaam-e- Ibrahim as. Then he asws would leave and his asws companions would be around him asws, and they would be three hundred and thirteen men. Among them would be ones who would have slept upon their beds at night, and would come out with him asws at Al- Hajar (The Black Stone). So they would meet him asws, and the earth would become greener. 5 حدثنا يعقوب بن يزيد عن احلسن بن حمبوب عن عمر بن يزيد قلت اآلية النحل. اليب عبد اهلل عليه السالم إذا مضى االمام يفضى من علمه يف الليلة الىت ميضى فيها إىل االمام القائم من بعده مثل ماكان يعلم املاضي It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said: I recited: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [16:1] to Abu Abdullah asws and said, If the Imam asws passes away, does he asws delegate from his asws knowledge during the night in which he asws passes away to the established Imam asws after him asws, the like of what the previous Imam asws had made known to him asws? 4 5 الغيبة: 43 /243 دالئل اإلمامة: 252 5 out of 60
قال وما شاء اهلل من ذلك يورث كتبا وال يوكل إىل نفسه ويزاد يف ليله وهناره. He asws said: And (also) whatever Allah azwj so Desires from that, he asws inherits the Books and is not left to rely upon himself asws, and he asws gets increased (with Knowledge by Allah azwj ) during his asws nights and days. 6 حم م د ب ن حي ي ع ن حم م د ب ن احل س ني ع ن ع ل ي ب ن أ س ب اط ع ن احل س ني ب ن أ يب ال ع ال ء ع ن س ع د ا س ك اف ق ال أ ت ى ر ج ل أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني ( عليه السالم ) ي س أ ل ه ع ن الر وح أ ل ي س ه و ج ب ر ئ يل ف ق ال ل ه أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني ( عليه السالم ) ج ب ر ئ يل ( عليه السالم ) م ن ج ب ر ئ يل ل م ا أ ح د ي ز ع م ئ ك ة و الر وح غ ي ر ج ب ر ئ يل ف ك ر ر ذ ل ك ع ل ى الر ج ل ف ق ال ل ه ل ق د ق ل ت ع ظ يما م ن ال ق و أ ن الر وح غ ي ر ال م ال Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A ala, from Sa ad Al Askaf who said, A man came over to Amir Al-Momineen asws asking him asws about the Spirit, Isn t it Jibraeel as?. So Amir Al-Momineen asws said to him: Jibraeel as is from the Angels, and the Spirit is other than Jibraeel as, and he asws reiterated that upon the man. So he said to him asws, You asws have spoken a great thing from the speech. There is no one claiming that the Spirit is other than Jibraeel as. أ م ر ف ق ال ل ه أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني ( عليه السالم ) إ ن ك ض ال ت ر و ي ع ن أ ه ل الض ال ل ي ق ول الل ه ت ع اىل ل ن ب ي ه ( صلى اهلل عليه وآله ) أ تى الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه س ب حان ه و ت عاىل ع م ا ي ش ر ك ون ي ن ز ل ال م الئ ك ة ب الر وح و الر وح غ ي ر ال م ال ئ ك ة ص ل و ات الل ه ع ل ي ه م. So Amir Al-Momineen asws said to him: You have strayed and are reporting from the strayed people. Allah azwj the Exalted is Saying to His azwj Prophet saww : The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [16:1] He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit [16:2], and the Spirit is other than the Angels, may the Salawat of Allah azwj be upon them. 7 مث قال: و يف رواية أيب اجلارود عن أيب جعفر )عليه السالم( يف قوله ع لى م ن ي شاء م ن ع باد ه أ ن أ ن ذ ر وا أ ن ه ال إ له إ ال أ ن ا ف ات ق و ن يقول:»بالكتاب و النبوة«. Then (Ali Bin Ibrahim) said: And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws regarding His azwj Words: upon one He so Desires to from His servants that they should be warning, there is no God except Me, therefore be fearing [16:2]. He azwj is Saying: (Warning) with the Book and the Prophet-hood. 8 6 Basaair Al Darajaat P 9 CH 20 H 1 7 Al Kafi V 1 The Book Of Divine Authority CH 56 H 6 8 تفسير القم ي. 382 :1 6 out of 60
Background report و قال علي بن إبراهيم: نزلت ملا سألت قريش رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( أن ينزل عليهم العذاب فأنزل اهلل تبارك و تعاىل: أ تى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه و قوله: ي ن ز ل ال م الئ ك ة ب الر وح م ن أ م ر ه يعين بالقوة اليت جعلها اهلل فيهم. And Ali Bin Ibrahim said, It was Revealed when Quraysh asked Rasool-Allah saww to get the Punishment Sent down upon them. So Allah azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it [16:1], and His azwj Words: He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit from His Command [16:2] meaning with the strength which Allah azwj would Make it to be in them. 9 العياشي: عن هشام بن سامل عن بعض أصحابنا عن أيب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم( قال: سألته عن قول اهلل أ تى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه. قال:»إذا أخرب اهلل النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( بشيء إىل الوقت فهو قوله أ تى أ م ر الل ه ف ال ت س ت ع ج ل وه حىت يأيت ذلك الوقت«. Al Ayyashi, from Hisham Bin Salim, from one of our companions, From Abu Abdullah asws, he (the narrator) said, I asked him asws about the Words of Allah azwj : The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it [16:1]. He asws said: When Allah azwj Informs the Prophet saww about something up to the time, so these are His azwj Words: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it [16:1], until that time actually comes. و قال:»إن اهلل إذا أخرب أن شيئاكائن فكأنه قدكان«. And he asws said: Surely Allah azwj, when He azwj Informs that something would be happening, so it is as if it has already happened (definitely happen). 10 VERSES 3-8 خ ل ق الس م او ات و األ ر ض ب احل ق ت ع اىل ع م ا ي ش ر ك ون }3{ He Created the skies and the earth with the Truth. Exalted is He from what they are associating [16:3] خ ل ق ا ن س ان م ن ن ط ف ة ف إ ذ ا ه و خ ص يم م ب ني }4{ 9 10 تفسير القم ي. 382 :1 تفسير العي اشي. 2 /254 :2 7 out of 60
He Created the human being from a seed, but then he is an open contender [16:4] و األ ن ع ام خ ل ق ه ا ل ك م ف يه ا د ف ء و م ن اف ع و م ن ه ا ت أ ك ل ون }5{ And the cattle, He Created these for you. In these you have warm clothing and benefits, and from these you are eating [16:5] و ل ك م ف يه ا مج ال ح ني ت ر حي ون و ح ني ت س ر ح ون }6{ And for you is beauty in these when you are bringing them in (to rest) and when you are taking them out (to pasture) [16:6] }7{ و حت م ل أ ث ق ال ك م إ ىل ب ل د مل ت ك ون وا ب ال غ يه إ ال ب ش ق األ ن ف س إ ن ر ب ك م ل ر ء وف ر ح يم And they carry your loads to cities you could not reach except with difficulties of the self. Surely your Lord is Kind, Merciful [16:7] و اخل ي ل و ال ب غ ال و احل م ري ل ت ر ك ب وه ا و ز ين ة و ي ل ق م ا ال ت ع ل م ون }8{ And (Created) the horses and the mules and the donkeys for you to ride these and as an adornment, and He Created what you do not know (about) [16:8] أ ب و ع ل ي األ ش ع ر ي ع ن حم م د ب ن ع ب د اجل ب ار ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن حي ي ع ن ع ب د الل ه ب ن حي ي ال ك اه ل ي ق ال مس ع ت أ ب ا ع ب د الل ه ( عليه السالم ) ي ق ول و ي ذ ك ر احل ج ف ق ال ق ال ر س ول الل ه ( صلى اهلل عليه وآله ) ه و أ ح د اجل ه اد ي ن ه و ج ه اد الض ع ف اء و ن ن الض ع ف اء يء أ ف ض ل م ن احل ج إ ال الص ال ة و يف احل ج هل اه ن ا ص ال ة و ل ي س يف الص ال ة ق ب ل ك م ح ج ال ت د ع احل ج و أ ن ت ت ق د ر أ م ا إ ن ه ل ي س ش ع ل ي ه Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Kahily who said, I heard Abu Abdullah asws saying, and the Hajj was mentioned, so he asws said: Rasool-Allah saww said: It is one of the two Jihads. It is the Jihad of the weak, and we asws are the weak ones. But, there is nothing superior than the Hajj except for the Salat. And in the Hajj there is Salat over there, and there was no Salat in Hajj (performed) before you. Do not leave the Hajj while you are able over it. أ م ا ت ر ى أ ن ه ي ش ع ث ر أ س ك و ي ق ش ف ف يه ج ل د ك و مي ت ن ع ف يه م ن الن ظ ر إ ىل الن س اء و إ ن ا ن ن هل اه ن ا و ن ن ق ر يب و ل ن ا م ي اه م ت ص ل ة م ا ن ب ل غ احل ج ح ىت ي ش ق ع ل ي ن ا ف ك ي ف أ ن ت م يف ب ع د ال ب ال د Do you not see that it dishevels your head and roughens your skin, and during it you are forbidden from looking at the women? And we asws are over here for it, and we asws 8 out of 60
are nearby, and for us asws is its continuous (supply of) its water, (even then) we asws do not reach the Hajj until it is difficult upon us asws. So how would you be in the remote cities? و م ا م ن م ل ك و ال س وق ة ي ص ل إ ىل احل ج إ ال مب ش ق ة يف ت غ ي ري م ط ع م أ و م ش ر ب أ و ر يح أ و ش س ال ي س ت ط يع ر د ه ا و ذ ل ك ق و ل ه ع ز و ج ل و حت م ل أ ث قال ك م إ ىل ب ل د مل ت ك ون وا بال غ يه إ ال ب ش ق األ ن ف س إ ن ر ب ك م ل ر ؤ ف ر ح يم. And there is none from a king, nor a common folk who arrives to the Hajj except with difficulties with regards to the alteration of the food, or drink, or weather, or sun (heat), not having the ability to repel it; and these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: And they carry your loads to cities you could not reach except with difficulties of the self. Surely your Lord is Kind, Merciful [16:7]. 11 ع ل ي ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ يب ع م ري ع ن م ع او ي ة ب ن ع م ار ق ال ق ال أ ب و ع ب د الل ه ( عليه السالم ) احل ج اج ي ص د ر ون ع ل ى ث ال ث ة أ ص ن ا ف ص ن ف ي ع ت ق م ن الن ار و ص ن ف ي ر ج م ن ذ ن وب ه ك ه ي ئ ة ي و م و ل د ت ه أ م ه و ص ن ف حي ف ظ يف أ ه ل ه و م ال ه ف ذ اك أ د ن م ا ي ر ج ع ب ه احل اج. Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, Abu Abdullah asws said: The Pilgrims are arriving back being upon three types a type who is Emancipated (liberated) from the Fire, and a type who is exited from his sins as if he was like the day his mother gave him birth, and a type who received Protection regarding his family and his wealth. So that is the lwast of what the Pilgrim returns with. 12 العياشي: عن زرارة عن أحدمها )عليهما السالم( قال: سألته عن أبوال اخليل و البغال و احلمري. قال: حلمها حالال فكرهها. قلت: أليس Al Ayashi, from Zarara, (It has been narrated) from one of the two asws (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ), said, I asked him asws about the urine of the horses, and the mules and the donkeys. He asws said: It is abhorrent. I said, Is their flesh not Permissible? قال: فقال:»أليس قد بني اهلل لكم: و األ ن عام خ ل ق ها ل ك م ف يها د ف ء و م ناف ع و م ن ها ت أ ك ل ون و قال يف اخليل و البغال و احلمري: ل ت ر ك ب وها و ز ين ة فجعل لألكل األنعام اليت قص اهلل يف الكتاب و جعل للركوب اخليل و البغال و احلمري و ليس حلومها حبرام و لكن الناس عافوها«. He (the narrator) said, So he asws said: Has not Allah azwj Explained for you: And the cattle, He Created these for you. In these you have warm clothing and benefits, and from these you are eating [16:5]? And He azwj Said regarding the horses, and the mules, and the donkeys: for you to ride these and as an adornment [16:8]. Thus He azwj Made for the eating, the animals which Allah azwj has Related in the Book, 11 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Hajj Ch 28 H 7 12 Al Kafi V 4 The Book of Hajj Ch 28 H 6 9 out of 60
and Made for the riding, the horses, and the mules, and the donkeys. And their flesh is not Prohibited, but the people excuse (themselves) from it. 13 الشيخ يف )التهذيب(: بإسناده عن أمحد بن حممد عن حممد بن خالد عن القاسم بن عروة عن ابن بكري عن زرارة عن أحدمها )عليهما السالم( يف أبوال الدواب تصيب الثوب فكرهه فقلت: أليس حلومها حالال قال:»بلى و لكن ليس مما جعله اهلل لألكل«. Al Shaykh in (the book) Al Tehzeeb, by his chain, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Qasim Bin Urwat, from Ibn Bakeyr, from Zurara, From one of the two (5 th or 6 th Imam asws ) regarding the urine of the animals hitting the clothes, but he asws disliked it. So I said, Isn t their meat Permissible (to eat)? He asws said: Yes, but it (urine) isn t from what Allah azwj Made for the consumption. 14 VERSES 9-12 و ع ل ى الل ه ق ص د الس ب يل و م ن ه ا ج ائ ر و ل و ش اء هل د اك م أ مج ع ني }9{ And upon Allah is to Direct to the Way, and from these (some) are crooked, and had He so Desired, He would have Guided you altogether [16:9] ه و ال ذ ي أ ن ز ل م ن الس م اء م اء ل ك م م ن ه ش ر اب و م ن ه ش ج ر ف يه ت س يم ون }10{ He is the One Who Sends down water from the sky for you; from it (you drink), and from it trees (grow), wherein you are pasturing [16:10] ي ن ب ت ل ك م ب ه الز ر ع ي ت ف ك ر ون }11{ و الز ي ت ون و الن خ يل و األ ع ن اب و م ن ك ل الث م ر ا ت إ ن يف ذ ل ك آل ي ة ل ق و م With it He Grows for you the crops, and the olives, and the palm trees, and the grapes, and from all fruits. Surely in that is a Sign for a people who ponder [16:11] و س خ ر ل ك م الل ي ل و الن ه ار و الش م س و ال ق م ر آل ي ات ل ق و م ي ع ق ل ون }12{ و الن ج وم م س خ ر ات ب أ م ر ه إ ن يف ذ ل ك 13 14 تفسير العي اشي 6 /255 :2 التهذيب. 772 /264 :1 10 out of 60
And He Made subservient for you the night, and the day, and the sun, and the moon; and the stars are made subservient by His Command. Surely there are signs in this for a people who use their intellects [16:12] Subservience of the creation is to Ali asws ]ق ال ا م ام [ ع: ق ال ]ا م ام [ م وس ى ب ن ج ع ف ر ع إ ن ر س ول الل ه ص ل م ا اع ت ذ ر ه ؤ ال ء ]املنافقني ]ال م ن اف ق و ن[ إ ل ي ه[ مب ا اع ت ذ ر وا ت ك ر م ع ل ي ه م ب أ ن ق ب ل ظ و اه ر ه م - و و ك ل ب و اط ن ه م إ ىل ر ب م The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari asws ) said that the Imam Musa asws Bin Ja'far asws said: When Rasool-Allah saww heard the excuses of those hypocrites to him saww with what they were excusing themselves with, was honouring to them, he saww accepted their apparent excuses and left the matter of their hidden (animosity) to their Lord azwj. ل ك ن ج رب ئ يل ع أ ت اه ف ق ال : ي ا حم م د إ ن ال ع ل ي األ ع ل ى ي ق ر أ ع ل ي ك الس ال م و ي ق ول : اخ ر ج ب ؤ ال ء ال م ر د ة ال ذ ين ات ص ل ب ك ع ن ه م- يف و ع ل ي ع: ع ل ى ن ك ث ه م ل ب ي ع ت ه و ت و ط ين ه م ن ف وس ه م ع ل ى م ال ف ت ه م ع ل ي ا ل ي ظ ه ر م ن ع ج ائ ب م ا أ ك ر م ه الل ه ب ه م ن ط و اع ي ة األ ر ض اجل ب ال و الس م اء ل ه و س ائ ر م ا خ ل ق الل ه - ل م ا أ و ق ف ه م و ق ف ك و أ ق ام ه م ق ام ك - ل ي ع ل م وا أ ن و ل الل ه ع ل ي ا غ ين ع ن ه م و أ ن ه ال ي ك ف ع ن ه م ان ت ق ام ه م ن ه م - إ ال ب أ م ر الل ه ال ذ ي ل ه ف يه و ف يه م الت د ب ري ال ذ ي ه و ب ال غ ه و احل ك م ة ال يت ه و ع ام ل ب ا و مم ض ل م ا ي وج ب ه ا. But Jibraeel as came to him saww and said: The Highest of the High Conveys the Greetings upon you saww and is Saying: Go out with these apostates, those from whom has reached to you saww regarding Ali asws, upon their breaking his asws allegiance and their conspiring themselves upon opposing Ali asws, so that he asws may show them some wonders that He azwj has Honoured him asws with, that is from the earth and the mountains and the skies, all these have been Made subservient to him asws, and the rest of what Allah azwj Created and why he asws has been made to stand in your saww place, so that they would know that the Guardian of Allah azwj, Ali asws, is needless of them, and he asws is not refraining from his asws revenge from them except by the Command of Allah azwj wherein is the Plan for him asws and regarding them which he asws would be implementing it, and the wisdom he asws would be working with, and the accomplishment to what is a must. 15 VERSES 13-15 و م ا ذ ر أ ل ك م يف األ ر ض م ت ل ف ا أ ل و ان ه إ ن يف ذ ل ك آل ي ة ل ق و م ي ذ ك ر ون }13{ And what He has Multiplied for you in the earth of various types.

Surely, He does not Love the arrogant [16:23] و إ ذ ا ق يل هل م م اذ ا أ ن ز ل ر ب ك م ق ال وا أ س اط ري األ و ل ني }24{ And when it is said to them: What is it that your Lord Revealed? They say, Stories of the former ones [16:24] العياشي: عن جابر عن أيب جعفر )عليه السالم( قال: سألته عن هذه اآلية و ال ذ ين ي د ع ون م ن د ون الل ه ال ي ل ق ون ي ل ق ون أ م وات غ ي ر أ ح ياء و ما ي ش ع ر ون أ ي ان ي ب ع ث ون. ش ي ئا و ه م Al Ayyashi, from Jabir, From Abu Ja far asws, he (the narrator) said, I asked him asws about this Verse: And those whom they are calling upon from besides Allah did not create anything, and they are Created [16:20] (They are) dead, not living, and they are not aware when they would be Resurrected [16:21]. قال:»الذين يدعون من دون اهلل: األول و الثاين و الثالث كذبوا رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( بقوله: والوا عليا و اتبعوه. فعادوا عليا )عليه السالم( و مل يوالوه و دعوا الناس إىل والية أنفسهم فذلك قول اهلل: و ال ذ ين ي د ع ون م ن د ون الل ه«. He asws said: The ones who are calling upon besides Allah azwj are the first one, the second one and the third one. They belied Rasool-Allah saww of his saww words: And 21 out of 60
support Ali asws and follow him asws. But, they neglected Ali asws and did not support him asws, and called the people to their own wilayah. So these are the Words of Allah azwj : And those whom they are calling upon from besides Allah [16:20]. قال:»و أما قوله: ال ي ل ق ون ش ي ئا فإنه يعين ال يعبدون شيئا و ه م ي ل ق ون فإنه يعين و هم يعبدون He asws said: And as for His azwj Words: did not create anything [16:20], it means they are not worshipping anything, and they are Created, it means they are worshipping. و أما قوله: أ م وات غ ي ر أ ح ياء يعين كفارا غري مؤمنني و أما قوله: و ما ي ش ع ر ون أ ي ان ي ب ع ث ون فإنه يعين أهنم ال يؤمنون أهنم يشركون إ هل ك م إ له واح د فإنه كما قال اهلل. And as for His azwj Words: (They are) dead, not living [16:21], it means Kafirs, not Momineen, and they are not aware when they would be Resurrected [16:21] - it means they are not believing, they are associating, Your God is one God [16:22]. So it is as Allah azwj Says. و أما قوله: ف ال ذ ين ال ي ؤ م ن ون فإنه يعين عن والية علي )عليه السالم( مستكربون قال اهلل ملن فعل ذلك وعيدا منه: ال ج ر م أ ن الل ه ي ع ل م ما ي س ر ون و ما ي ع ل ن ون إ ن ه ال حي ب ال م س ت ك رب ين عن والية علي )عليه السالم(«.
