CHAPTER 107 AL-MA OUN (7 VERSES) VERSES 1-7 ب س م الل ه الر ح م ن الر ح يم MERITS و من )خواص القرآن(: روي عن النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( أنه قال:»من قرأ هذه السورة غفر اهلل له ما دامت الزكاة مؤداة And from Khawaas Al Quran It has been reported from the Prophet saww having said: One who recites this Chapter, Allah azwj would Forgive him as long as Zakat is paid. و من قرأها بعد صالة الصبح مائة مرة حفظه اهلل إىل صالة الصبح«. And one who recites it a hundred times after the Morning Salat, would be Protected by Allah azwj up to the (next) Morning Salat. 1 و قال الصادق )عليه السالم(:»من قرأها بعد صالة العصركان يف أمان اهلل و حفظه إىل وقتها يف اليوم الثاين«. And Al-Sadiq asws said: The one who recites it after the Al-Asr Salat would be in the Safety of Allah azwj and His azwj Protection up to its time on the second day. 2 و قال رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله(:»من قرأها بعد عشاء اآلخرة غفر اهلل له و حفظه إىل صالة الصبح«. And Rasool-Allah saww said: One who recites it after the last Al-Isha (Salat), Allah azwj would Forgive (his sins) for him, and Protect him up to the morning Salat. 3 ابن بابويه: بإسناده عن عمرو بن ثابت عن أيب جعفر )عليه السالم( قال:»من قرأ سورة )أ رأيت الذي يكذب بالدين( يف فرائضه و نوافله كان فيمن قبل اهلل عز و جل صالته و صيامه و مل حياسبه مباكان منه يف احلياة الدنيا«. Ibn Babuwayh, by his chain from Amro Bin Sabit, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws having said: The one who recites the Surah: Have you seen the one who belies the Religion? [107:1] (Al-Ma oun) in 1 Tafseer Al Burhan H 11918 2 Tafseer Al Burhan H 11920 3 Tafseer Al Burhan H 11919 2 out of 16
his Obligatory and his optional (Salas), he would be the one from whom Allah azwj Accepted his Salat, and his Fast, and would not Reckon him with what was from him, in the life of the world. 4 VERSE 1 Have you seen the one who belies the Religion? [107:1] أ ر أ ي ت ال ذ ي ي ك ذ ب ب الد ين }1{ حممد بن العباس قال: حدثنا احلسن بن علي بن زكريا بن عاصم عن اهليثم عن عبد اهلل الرمادي قال: حدثنا علي بن موسى بن جعفر عن أبيه عن جده )صلوات اهلل عليهم أمجعني( يف قوله عز و جل: أ ر أ ي ت ال ذ ي ي ك ذ ب ب الد ين قال:»بوالية أمري املؤمنني علي )عليه السالم(«. Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Zakariyya Bin Aasim, from Al Haysam, from Abdullah Al Ramaady, (It has been narrated) from Ali asws Bin Musa asws Bin Ja far asws, from his asws father asws, from his asws grandfather asws, regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Have you seen the one who belies the Religion? [107:1], he asws said: (Belies) the Wilayah of Amir-al-Momineen asws. 5 وروي حممد بن مجهور عن عبد الرمحان بن كثري عن أيب مجيلة عن أيب اسامة عن أيب عبد اهلل عليه السالم يف قوله عزوجل )أرأيت الذي يكذب بالدين( قال: بالوالية. يعين إن الدين هو الوالية. And it has been reported from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer, from Abu Jameela, from Abu Asaama, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Have you seen the one who belies the Religion? [107:1] - He asws said: (Belied) the Wilayah. It means that the Religion is Al-Wilayah. ويؤيده: قوله تعاىل )إن الدين عند اهلل االسالم( وهوال يتم إال بالوالية النه سبحانه يوم فرض الوالية قال: )اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأمتمت عليكم نعميت ورضيت لكم االسالم دينا(. And it is supported by the Words of the Exalted: The Religion in the Presence of Allah is Al-Islam [3:19] and it is not complete except by Al-Wilayah, because the Glorious One azwj Said on the day that He azwj Obligated the Wilayah: This day have I perfected for you your Religion and completed My Favour on you and Chosen for you Al-Islam as a Religion [5:3]. (ثواب األعمال: (. 126 4 ) تأويل اآليات. 1 /855 :2 ( 5 3 out of 16
فلوال الوالية مل يكمل الدين ومل تتم النعمة ومل يرض اهلل سبحانه لنا دين االسالم فالجل ذلك صار الدين الوالية فتمسك هبا تكن من أهلها املوالني وقل عند لك: احلمد هلل رب العاملني. Had it not been for Al-Wilayah, the Religion would not have been perfected, nor would the Favours have been completed, nor would Allah azwj the Glorious have been Pleased for us with the Religion of Al-Islam. For that purpose Al-Wilayah became the Religion. So attach with it, (and) you would become from its people, the Al-Mawaleen (those with Al-Wilayah), and say during that, The Praise is for Allah azwj, Lord azwj of the worlds. 6 VERSE 2 So that is the one who forsakes the orphan [107:2] ف ذ ل ك ال ذ ي ي د ع ال ي ت يم }2{ Honouring the orphans و ق ال ا ل م ام ع ر س ول الل ه ص ق ال : ح ث الل ه ع ز و ج ل ع ل ى ب ر ال ي ت ام ى- ال ن ق ط اع ه م ع ن آب ائ ه م. And the Imam asws (Hassan Al-Askari asws ) said: Rasool-Allah saww said: Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Urges upon the righteousness with the orphans the ones cut off from their fathers. ف م ن ص ان ه م ص ان ه الل ه و م ن أ ك ر م ه م أ ك ر م ه الل ه و م ن م س ح ي د ه ب ر أ س ي ت يم ر ف قا ب ه- ج ع ل الل ه ل ه يف ا ل ن ة ب ك ل ش ع ر ة م ر ت ت ت ي د ه ق ص را - أ و س ع م ن الد ن ي ا مب ا ف يه ا و ف يه ا م ا ت ش ت ه ي ا ل ن ف س و ت ل ذ ا ل ع ني و ه م ف يه ا خ ال د ون. So the one who protects them, Allah azwj will Protect him, and the one who honours them, Allah azwj will Honour him, and the one who wipes his hand upon the head of an orphan being kind with him, Allah azwj would Make for him a castle in the Paradise, for every hair which passed under his hand, being more capacious than the world with whatever is in it, and therein would be whatever the soul desires and the pleases the eye, and they would be in it eternally. 7 يف جممع البيان " ال تكرمون اليتيم " وهو الطفل الذى ال أب له أي ال تعطوهنم مما أعطاهم اهلل حىت تغنوهم عن ذل السؤال وخص اليتيم النه ال كافل هلم يقوم بأمرهم In Majma Al-Bayaan 6 Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zahira CH 107 H 2 7 Tafseer Imam Hassan Al Askari asws S 213 4 out of 16
Never! But you are not honouring the orphan [89:17], and he is the child who has no father for him, i.e., you are not giving to them from what Allah azwj has Given to the extent that you make them needless of having to ask, and especially for the orphan because there is no one to stand and take responsibility for them in their affairs. وقد قال: انا وكافل اليتيمكهاتني وأشار بالسبابة والوسطى. And he asws has said: I asws and the sponsor (Kafeel) of the orphan are like these two and he asws gestured by his asws index and middle finger. 8 The most orphaned و ق ال ا ل م ام ع و أ ش د م ن ي ت م ه ذ ا ال ي ت يم ي ت يم ]ي ن ق ط ع[ ع ن إ م ام ه ال ي ق د ر ع ل ى ال و ص ول إ ل ي ه و ال ي د ر ي ك ي ف ح ك م ه ف يم ا ي ب ت ل ى ب ه م ن ش ر ائ ع د ين ه. And the most severely orphaned is this orphan, the one orphaned (cut off) from his Imam asws, not being able upon arriving to him asws, and he does not know how his asws decision is regarding what he is involved with from the Laws of his Religion. أ ال ف م ن ك ان م ن ش يع ت ن ا ع ال ما ب ع ل وم ن ا و ه ذ ا ا ل اه ل ب ش ر يع ت ن ا- ال م ن ق ط ع ع ن م ش اه د ت ن ا ي ت ي م يف ح ج ر ه أ ال ف م ن ه د اه و أ ر ش د ه و ع ل م ه ش ر يع ت ن ا-ك ان م ع ن ا يف الر ف يق ا ل ع ل ى. ح د ث ين ب ذ ل ك أ يب ع ن آب ائ ه ع ن ر س ول الل ه ص. Indeed! So the one who was from our asws Shias, a knower of our asws teachings, and this (other one) is the ignorant one with our asws Laws, the one cut off from witnessing us asws, is an orphan in his lap. Indeed! So the one who guides him and set him on the right path, and teaches him our asws Laws would be with us asws among the lofty friends. My asws father asws narrated to me asws with that, from his asws forefathers asws, from Rasool-Allah saww. 9 VERSE 3 And he does not urge upon feeding the poor [107:3] و ال حي ض ع ل ى ط ع ام ال م س ك ني }3{ ص ال ح ب ن ع ق ب ة ع ن ن ص ر ب ن ق اب وس ع ن أ يب ع ب د الل ه ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ل ط ع ام م ؤ م ن أ ح ب ح ج ج ق ال ق ل ت ع ش ر ر ق اب و ع ش ر ح ج ج إ ل م ن ع ت ق ع ش ر ر ق ا ب و ع ش ر 8 Tafseer Noor Al Saqalayn CH 89 H 17 9 Tafseer Imam Hassan Al Askari asws S 214 5 out of 16
Salih Bin Uqba, from Nasr Bin Qabous, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said: The feeding of a Momin is more beloved to me asws than freeing ten necks and performing ten Hajj. I said, Ten necks and ten Hajj? ق ال ف ق ال ي ا ن ص ر إ ن مل ت ط ع م وه م ات أ و ت د ل ون ه ف ي ج يء إ ىل ن اص ب ف ي س أ ل ه و ال م و ت خ ي ر ل ه م ن م س أ ل ة ن اص ب He (the narrator) said, So he asws said: O Nasr! If you do not feed him, he would either die, or you would have indicated him (to go elsewhere), so he would go to a Hostile one (Nasibi) and ask him; and the death would be better for him than asking a Hostile one (Nasibi). ي ا ن ص ر م ن أ ح ي ا م ؤ م نا ف ك أ ن ا أ ح ي ا الن اس مج يعا ف إ ن مل ت ط ع م وه ف ق د أ م ت م وه و إ ن أ ط ع م ت م وه ف ق د أ ح ي ي ت م وه. O Nasr! The one who revives a Momin, so it is as if he has revived the people altogether. So if you do not feed him, so you have caused him to died, and if you do feed him, so you have revived him. 10 ع ن ه ع ن أ مح د ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن حي ي ع ن أ يب مح ز ة ع ن أ يب ج ع ف ر ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول الل ه ( صلى اهلل عليه وآله ) م ن أ ط ع م ث ال ث ة ن ف ر م ن ال م س ل م ني أ ط ع م ه الل ه م ن ث ال ث ج ن ا ن يف م ل ك وت الس م او ات ال ف ر د و س و ج ن ة ع د ن و ط و ب ]و [ ش ج ر ة ت ر ج م ن ج ن ة ع د ن غ ر س ه ا ر ب ن ا ب ي د ه. From him, from Ahmad, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abu Hamza, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws having said: Rasool-Allah saww said: The one who feeds three persons from the Muslims, Allah azwj would Feed him from three Gardens in the kingdom of the skies Al-Firdows, and the Garden of Eden, and Tooba, and it is a tree coming out from the Garden of Eden. Our Lord azwj Planted it with His azwj own Hands. 11 For detailed Ahadeeth on feeding people see Al Kafi V 2 The Book of Eman and Kufr Ch 85 https://hubeali.com/books/english-books/alkafivol2/alkafiv2- TheBookOfBeliefAndDisbelief(7).pdf VERSE 4 ف و ي ل ل ل م ص ل ني }4{ So woe be unto the Musalleen [107:4] 10 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 86 H 20 11 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 86 H 3 6 out of 16

He asws said: (They would be saying), We did not (have) the Wilayah of the successor asws of Muhammad saww and the successors asws from after him asws, nor did we send Salawat upon them asws. 12 ع ل ي ب ن حم م د ع ن س ه ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن إ اع ي ل ب ن م ه ر ان ع ن احل س ن ال ق م ي ع ن إ د ر ي س ب ن ع ب د الل ه ع ن أ يب ع ب د الل ه ( علي ه ة ق ر. ق ال وا مل ن ك م ن ال م ص ل ني ق ال ع ا هب ا مل ن ك م ن أ ت ب اع ا ل ئ م السالم ) ق ال س أ ل ت ه ع ن ت ف س ري ه ذ ه اآل ي ة ما س ل ك ك م يف س ال ذ ين ق ال الل ه ت ب ار ك و ت ع اىل ف يه م و الس اب ق ون الس اب ق ون. أ ولئ ك ال م ق ر ب ون Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Al Hassan Al Qummy, from Idrees Bin Abdullah, From Abu Abdullah asws, said, I asked him asws about the interpretation of this Verse: What brought you into Saqar (Inferno)? [74:42] They shall say, We were not from the Musalleen [74:43], he asws said: It Means, We were not the ones who followed the Imams asws, those for whom Allah azwj Blessed and Exalted Said regarding them asws : And the foremost are the foremost [56:10] These are the ones of proximity [56:11]. أ م ا ت ر ى الن اس ي س م ون ال ذ ي ي ل ي الس اب ق يف احل ل ب ة م ص ل ي ف ذ ل ك ال ذ ي ع ا ح ي ث ق ال مل ن ك م ن ال م ص ل ني مل ن ك م ن أ ت ب ا ع الس اب ق ني. But, have you not seen the people naming the one who follows the preceding one in the (horse) race as Musally? So that is what they mean when they would be saying, We were not of the Musalleen, i.e., we were not the ones who followed the foremost one asws. 13 VERSE 5 Those who are neglectful of their Salats [107:5] ال ذ ين ه م ع ن ص ال ت م س اه ون }5{ - Extract (الكافي ( 91 /360 :1 12 13 Al Kafi V 1 The Book Of Divine Authority CH 108 H 38 7 out of 16

For Him azwj is the Kingdom and for Him azwj is the Praise. He azwj Causes to live and He azwj Causes to die, and He azwj Causes to die and He azwj Causes to live, and He azwj is Living and will not be dying. In His azwj Hand is the goodness, and He azwj is Able upon everything, ten times و ص ل ى ع ل ى حم م د و آل حم م د ع ش ر م ر ات و س ب ح خ سا و ث ال ث ني م ر ة و ه ل ل خ سا و ث ال ث ني م ر ة و مح د الل ه خ سا و ث ال ث ني م ر ة مل ي ك ت ب يف ذ ل ك الص ب اح م ن ال غ اف ل ني و إ ذ ا ق اهل ا يف ال م س اء مل ي ك ت ب يف ت ل ك الل ي ل ة م ن ال غ اف ل ني. And send Salawāts upon Muhammad saww and the Progeny asws of Muhammad saww ten times, and Glorify (Subhan-Allah azwj ) thirty five times, and Extol the Oneness (La Ilaha Illa Allah azwj ) thirty five times, and Praise Allah azwj (Al Hamd Lil Allah azwj ) thirty five times, would not be Written during that morning as being from the neglectful ones. And when he says it during the evening, he would not be Written during that night as being from the neglectful ones. 14 حم م د ب ن حي ي ع ن أ مح د ب ن حم م د ب ن ع يس ى ع ن حم م د ب ن خ ال د و احل س ني ب ن س ع يد مج يعا ع ن الن ض ر ب ن س و ي د ع ن حي ي احل ل يب ع ش ر ع ن حم م د ب ن م ر و ان ع ن س ع د ب ن ط ر يف ع ن أ يب ج ع ف ر ( عليه السالم ) ق ال ق ال ر س ول الل ه ( صلى اهلل عليه وآله ) م ن ق ر أ آي ات يف ل ي ل ة مل ي ك ت ب م ن ال غ اف ل ني و م ن ق ر أ خ س ني آي ة ك ت ب م ن الذ اك ر ين و م ن ق ر أ م ائ ة آي ة ك ت ب م ن ال ق ان ت ني و م ن ق ر أ م ائ يت آي ة ك ت ب م ن ا ل اش ع ني و م ن ق ر أ ث ال ث م ائ ة آي ة ك ت ب م ن ال ف ائ ز ين و م ن ق ر أ خ س م ائ ة آي ة ك ت ب م ن ال م ج ت ه د ي ن Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al Halby, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Sa ad Bin Tareyf, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far asws having said: Rasool-Allah saww said: The one who recites ten Verse during a night would not be Written as being from the neglectful ones; and the one who recites fifty Verses would be Written as being from the Zakireen (Oft-Mentioners of Allah azwj ); and the one who recites one hundred Verses would be Written as being from the contented ones; and the one who recites two hundred Verse would be Written as being from the fearful ones; and the one who recites three hundred Verses would be Written as being from the successful ones; and the one who recites five hundred Verses would be Written as being from the strivers. 14 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Supplication CH 48 H 35 8 out of 16

And the one who recites a thousand Verses, there would be Written for him a Qintar of gold nuggets. The Qintar is fifteen thousand Misqaal of gold, and the Misqaal is twenty four Qiraat, the smallest of it being like the mountain of Ohad, and the largest of it being what is between the sky to the earth. 15 احل س ني ب ن احل س ن احل س ين ر ف ع ه و حم م د ب ن احل س ن ع ن إ ب ر اه يم ب ن إ س ح اق ا ل مح ر ي ر ف ع ه ق ال ل م ا ض ر ب أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني ( عليه السالم ) ح ف ب ه ال ع و اد و ق يل ل ه ي ا أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني أ و ص ف ق ال اث ن وا ل و س اد ة ث ق ال احل م د ل ل ه ح ق ق د ر ه م ت ب ع ني أ م ر ه و أ مح د ه ك م ا أ ح ب و ال إ ل ه إ ال الل ه ال و اح د ا ل ح د الص م د ك م ا ان ت س ب Al Husayn Bin Al Hassan, raising it, and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Ibrahim Bin Is haq Al Ahmary, raising it, said, When Amir Al-Momineen asws was struck, the visitors encircled him asws and it was said to him asws, O Amir Al-Momineen asws! Bequeath! So he asws said: Double the pillow for me asws. Then he asws said: The Praise is for Allah azwj as He azwj is rightful of. I asws was obedient to His azwj Commands, and I asws Praise Him azwj just as He azwj Loves, and there is no god except for Allah azwj, the One, the First, the Samad, just as He azwj has Lineaged Himself azwj. أ ي ه ا الن اس ك ل ام ر ئ ال ق يف ف ر ار ه م ا م ن ه ي ف ر و ا ل ج ل م س اق الن ف س إ ل ي ه و اهل ر ب م ن ه م و اف ات ه ك م أ ط ر د ت ا ل ي ام أ ث ه ا ع ن م ك ن ون ه ذ ا ا ل م ر ف أ ب الل ه ع ز ذ ك ر ه إ ال إ خ ف اء ه ه ي ه ات ع ل م م ك ن و ن O you people! Every person would meet during his fleeing, what he is fleeing from (i.e., death). The death is an usher of the soul towards it, and the escaping from it is to (actually) find it. How many days have come and gone in researching about the hidden of this matter, but Allah azwj, Mighty is His azwj Mention, Refused except to Keep it hidden. Far be it, for the hidden to be known! أ م ا و ص ي يت ف أ ن ال ت ش ر ك وا ب الل ه ج ل ث ن اؤ ه ش ي ئا و حم م دا ( صلى اهلل عليه وآله ) ف ال ت ض ي ع وا س ن ت ه أ ق يم وا ه ذ ي ن ال ع م ود ي ن و أ و ق د وا ه ذ ي ن ال م ص ب اح ني و خ ال ك م ذ م م ا مل ت ش ر د وا مح ل ك ل ام ر ئ جم ه ود ه و خ ف ف ع ن ا ل ه ل ة ر ب ر حيم و إ م ام ع ل يم و د ين ق و ي As for my asws bequest, so it is that you shall not associate anything with Allah azwj, Majestic is His azwj Laudation. And Muhammad saww, so you must not waste his saww Sunnah. Establish these two pillars and inflame these two lanterns, and you will be free of blame for as long as you are not displaced. Every person would bear his effort, and it is lightened from the ignorant ones. The Lord azwj is Merciful, and the Imam asws is the most knowledgeable, and the Religion is straight. أ ن ا ب ا ل م س ص اح ب ك م و أ ن ا ال ي و م ع ب ر ة ل ك م و غ دا م ف ار ق ك م إ ن ت ث ب ت ال و ط أ ة يف ه ذ ه ال م ز ل ة ف ذ اك ال م ر اد و إ ن ت د ح ض ال ق د م ف إ ن ا ك ن ا يف أ ف ي اء أ غ ص ان و ذ ر ى ر ي اح و ت ت ظ ل غ م ام ة اض م ح ل يف ا ل و م ت ل ف ق ه ا و ع ف ا يف ا ل ر ض حم ط ه ا 15 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Merits of the Quran CH 7 H 5 9 out of 16
Yesterday I asws was your companion, and today I asws am a lesson for you all, and tomorrow I asws shall part from you. If the treading is steadfast during these stumbles, so that is the objective, and if the feet waver, so we are living in the shade of the branches and shelter of the winds, and beneath the shade of the clouds dissipating in the atmosphere and the disappearing resources in the central ground. و إ ن ا ك ن ت ج ارا ج او ر ك م ب د ين أ ي اما و س ت ع ق ب ون م ين ج ث ة خ ال ء س اك ن ة ب ع د ح ر ك ة و ك اظ م ة ب ع د ن ط ق ل ي ع ظ ك م ه د و ي و خ ف و ت إ ط ر اق ي و س ك ون أ ط ر ايف ف إ ن ه أ و ع ظ ل ك م م ن الن اط ق ال ب ل يغ و د ع ت ك م و د اع م ر ص د ل لت ال ق ي غ دا ت ر و ن أ ي ام ي و ي ك ش ف الل ه ع ز و ج ل ع ن س ر ائ ر ي و ت ع ر ف وين ب ع د خ ل و م ك اين و ق ي ام غ ري ي م ق ام ي And rather, I asws was a neighbour. My asws body was your neighbour for (some) days, and as a consequence from me asws it would be an empty body, motionless after its movement, and silent after speaking. Let it be an admonishment, my asws silence, and the dimming of my asws eyes, and the stillness of my asws limbs. So it is more of a preacher for you all than the eloquent speaker. And my asws bidding farewell to you all is a farewell of one expecting the reunion. Tomorrow you shall be seeing (the reality of) my asws days, and Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic will Uncover my asws secrets from me asws, and you will be recognising me asws after the emptiness of my asws place, and the standing of someone else in my asws place. غ ف ر إ ن أ ب ق ف أ ن ا و ل د م ي و إ ن أ ف ن ف ال ف ن اء م يع اد ي و إ ن أ ع ف ف ال ع ف و ل ق ر ب ة و ل ك م ح س ن ة ف اع ف وا و اص ف ح وا أ ال ت ب ون أ ن ي الل ه ل ك م ف ي ا هل ا ح س ر ة ع ل ى ك ل ذ ي غ ف ل ة أ ن ي ك ون ع م ر ه ع ل ي ه ح ج ة أ و ت ؤ د ي ه أ ي ام ه إ ىل ش ق و ة If I asws were to remain (alive), I asws would be the Guardian of my asws own blood, and if I asws perish, so the perishing is my asws destiny, and if I asws were to forgive, so the forgiving, for me asws it is a nearness (to Allah azwj, and for you it is a good deed, therefore be forgiving and overlooking. Would you not like it Allah azwj should be Forgiving you all? What a regret it would be upon every neglectful one! His own lifetime would become an argument against him, or his days would lead him to misery. ق ص ر ب ه ع ن ط اع ة الل ه ر غ ب ة أ و ت ل ب ه ب ع د ال م و ت ن ق م ة ف إ ن ا ن ن ل ه و ب ه ج ع ل ن ا الل ه و إ ي اك م مم ن ال ي May Allah azwj Make us asws and you all from the ones who are not deficient with it from obeying Allah azwj out of desire or being terrified of the Punishment after the death. So rather, we are for Him azwj and with Him azwj. ث أ ق ب ل ع ل ى احل س ن ( عليه السالم ) ف ق ال ي ا ب ين ض ر ب ة م ك ان ض ر ب ة و ال ت أ ث. Then he asws turned towards Al-Hassan asws, and he asws said: O my asws son asws!

So he as said: But they did not die except by Wrath (of Allah azwj ), and had they died separately, they would have buried each other. So the disciples said, O Spirit of Allah azwj and His azwj Word! Supplicate to Allah azwj that He azwj should Revive them so they can inform us what their deeds were (that led them to this destruction), so that we can stay away from these. ف د ع ا ع يس ى ( عليه السالم ) ر ب ه ف ن ود ي م ن ا ل و أ ن ن اد ه م ف ق ام ع يس ى ( عليه السالم ) ب الل ي ل ع ل ى ش ر ف م ن ا ل ر ض ف ق ال ي ا أ ه ل ه ذ ه ال ق ر ي ة ف أ ج اب ه م ن ه م جم يب ل ب ي ك ي ا ر وح الل ه و ك ل م ت ه ف ق ال و حي ك م م ا ك ان ت أ ع م ال ك م ق ال ع ب اد ة الط اغ وت و ح ب الد ن ي ا م ع خ و ف ق ل يل و أ م ل ب ع يد و غ ف ل ة يف هل و و ل ع ب So Isa as supplicated to his as Lord azwj, and there was a Call from the air: Call them! So Isa as stood at night upon a high ground and he as said: O inhabitants of this town! So one of them responded answering, O Spirit of Allah azwj and His azwj Word, here I am! So he as said: Woe be unto you all! What were your deeds? He said, Worshipping the tyrants and love of the world along with little fear, and has long hopes and neglectfully engaged in the و ل ع ب ل ه و in useless and playful activities. ف ق ال ك ي ف ك ان ح ب ك م ل لد ن ي ا ق ال ك ح ب الص يب ل م ه إ ذ ا أ ق ب ل ت ع ل ي ن ا ف ر ح ن ا و س ر ر ن ا و إ ذ ا أ د ب ر ت ع ن ا ب ك ي ن ا و ح ز ن ا ق ال ك ي ف ك ان ت ع ب اد ت ك م ل لط اغ وت ق ال الط اع ة ل ه ل ال م ع اص ي ق ال ك ي ف ك ان ع اق ب ة أ م ر ك م ق ال ب ت ن ا ل ي ل ة يف ع اف ي ة و أ ص ب ح ن ا يف اهل او ي ة ف ق ال و م ا اهل او ي ة ف ق ال س ج ني ق ال و م ا س ج ني ق ال ج ب ال م ن مج ر ت وق د ع ل ي ن ا إ ىل ي و م ال ق ي ام ة So he as said: How was your love for the world? He said, Like the love of the child for its mother. Whenever it came upon us, we were happy and joyful, and when it was distant from us, we cried and grieved. He as said: How was your worship for the tyrants? He said, The obedience to the disobedient ones. He as said: How was your end of your affairs? He said, We slept at night in good health and we woke up in the morning in the Abyss. So he as said: And what is the Abyss? So he said, A prison He as said: And what is the prison? He said, A mountain of burning coal inflamed upon us up to the Day of Judgment. ق ال ف م ا ق ل ت م و م ا ق يل ل ك م ق ال ق ل ن ا ر د ن ا إ ىل الد ن ي ا ف ن ز ه د ف يه ا ق يل ل ن ا ك ذ ب ت م ق ال و حي ك ك ي ف مل ي ك ل م ين غ ي ر ك م ن ب ي ن ه م ق ال ي ا ر وح الل ه إ ن ه م م ل ج م ون ب ل ج ام م ن ن ار ب أ ي د ي م ال ئ ك ة غ ال ظ ش د اد و إ ين ك ن ت ف يه م و مل أ ك ن م ن ه م ف ل م ا ن ز ل ال ع ذ اب ع م ين م ع ه م ف أ ن ا م ع ل ق ب ش ع ر ة ع ل ى ش ف ري ج ه ن م ال أ د ر ي أ ك ب ك ب ف يه ا أ م أ ن و م ن ه ا He as said: So what did you all say and what was said to you? He said, We said, Return us to the world and we would be ascetic therein. It was said to us, You are 11 out of 16
all lying. He as said: How come there did not speak to me as anyone apart from you, in among them? He said, O Spirit of Allah azwj! They are being reined by the rein of Fire at the hands of intensely harsh Angels, and I was among them and did not happen to be from them. So when the Punishment descended, I was generalised with them, and I was attached to a branch upon the edge of Hell, not knowing whether I would be plunging into it or whether I would be Rescued from it. ف ال ت ف ت ع يس ى ( عليه السالم ) إ ىل احل و ار ي ني ف ق ال ي ا أ و ل ي اء الل ه أ ك ل ا ل ب ز ال ي اب س ب ال م ل ح ا ل ر يش و الن و م ع ل ى ال م ز اب ل خ ي ر ك ث ري م ع ع اف ي ة الد ن ي ا و اآل خ ر ة. So Isa as turned towards the disciples and he as said: O friends of Allah azwj! Eating the dry bread with the crushed salt, and sleeping upon the garbage is much better for the well-being in the world and the Hereafter. 17 حم م د ب ن حي ي ع ن أ مح د ب ن حم م د ع ن احل س ني ع ن حم م د ب ن ال ف ض ي ل ق ال س أ ل ت ع ب دا ص احل ا ( عليه السالم ) ع ن ق و ل الل ه ع ز و ج ل ال ذ ين ه م ع ن ص ال ت م ساه ون ق ال ه و الت ض ي يع. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad in Muhammad, from Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, I asked Abd Al-Salih asws (7 th Imam asws ) about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: Those who are neglectful of their Salats [107:5]. He asws said: It is the wasting (of the Salāt). 18 ابن بابويه: عن أيب جعفر )عليه السالم( قال:»حدثين أيب عن آبائه عن أمري املؤمنني )عليهم السالم( قال: ليس عمل أحب إىل اهلل عز و جل من الصالة فال يشغلنكم عن أوقا تا شيء من أمور الدنيا فإن اهلل عز و جل ذم أقواما فقال: ال ذ ي ن Ibn Babuwayh, ه م ع ن ص ال ت م ساه ون يعين أهنم غافلون استهانوا بأوقا تا«. (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja far having said; My asws father asws narrated to me asws, from his asws forefathers, from Amir-al-Momineen asws having said: There is no deed more beloved to Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic than the Salat. So do not let anything from the affairs of the world preoccupy you from its (Prescribed) times, for Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic has Condemned people: Those who are neglectful of their Salats [107:5], Meaning they are oblivious, underestimating its (Prescribed) timings. 19 الط بسي: روى العياشي با لسناد عن يونس بن عمار عن أيب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم( قال: سألته عن قوله: ال ذ ين ه م ع ن ص ال ت م ساه ون أ هي وسوسة الشيطان فقال:»ال كل أحد يصيبه هذا و لكن أن يغفلها و يدع أن يصليها يف أول وقتها«. Al Tabarsy Al Ayyashi reports by the chain, from Yunus Bin Amaar, 17 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 126 H 11 18 Al Kafi V 3 The Book of Salāt CH 2 H 5 (الخصال: ( 10 /621 19 12 out of 16
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws, said, I asked him asws about His azwj Words: Those who are neglectful of their Salats [107:5], is it the whispering of the Satan la? So he asws said: No. Everyone gets affected by this, but if you overlook it, return and pray (Salat) it in its first (exact) time. 20 و عن أيب أسامة زيد الشحام قال: سألت أبا عبد اهلل )عليه السالم( عن قول اهلل عز و جل: ال ذ ين ه م ع ن ص ال ت م ساه ون قال:»هو الرتك هلا و التواين عنها«. And from Abu Asama Zayd Al Shahaam who said, I asked Abu Abdullah asws about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: Those who are neglectful of their Salats [107:5], he asws said: It is the leaving of it, and slackening from it. 21 VERSE 6 Those who are showing off [107:6] ال ذ ين ه م ي ر اء ون }6{ عن ابن عباس ومسروق وروى ذلك مرفوعا وقيل يريد املنافقني الذين ال يرجون ثوابا ان صلوا وال خيافون عليها عقابا ان تركوا فهم عنها غافلون حىت يذهب وقتها فإذا كانوا مع املؤمنني صلوها رياءا وإذا مل يكونوا معهم مل يصلوا وهو قوله: الذين هم يراؤن عن على عليه السالم وابن عباس. From Ibn Abbas and Masrouq, and that has been reported with an unbroken chain, And it is said that the hypocrites are the ones who did not hope for the Rewards if they were to Pray, and did not fear over its Punishment if they were to leave it, so they were oblivious from it until its (prescribed) time had passed. So whenever they were with the Momineen, they would pray Salat to show off, and if they were not with them, they would not pray Salat, and these is His azwj Words: Those who are showing off [107:6] from Ali asws and from Ibn Abbas. 22 وقوله عليه السالم: من صلى ا لمس مجاعة فظنوا به كل خري. And his asws words: The one who prays the five congregational (Salats) and he thinks by it as (having done) every good. 23 (مجمع البيان ( 834 :10 20 ) مجمع البيان ( 834 :10 21 22 Tafseer Noor Al Saqalayn CH 107 H 6 23 Tafseer Noor Al Saqalayn CH 107 H 11 13 out of 16

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qaddah, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws having said to Abd Bin Kaseer Al-Basry in the Masjid: Woe be unto you Abbad! Beware of the showing-off, for it is from the deeds (done) for other than Allah azwj. Allah azwj will Allocate him to the one he worked for. 24 ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن أ ب يه ع ن اب ن أ يب ع م ري ع ن أ يب ال م غ ر اء ع ن ي ز يد ب ن خ ل يف ة ق ال ق ال أ ب و ع ب د الل ه ( عليه السالم ) ك ل ش ر ك إ ن ه م ن ع م ل ل لن اس ك ان ث و اب ه ع ل ى الن اس و م ن ع م ل ل ل ه ك ان ث و اب ه ع ل ى الل ه. ر ي ا ء Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Al Magra a, from Yazeed Bin Khaleefa who said, Abu Abdullah asws said: Showing-off is Shirk (association with Allah azwj ). The one who does a deed for the people, his rewards would be upon the people, and the one who does a deed for Allah azwj, his Reward would be upon Allah azwj. 25 و ب إ س ن اد ه ق ال ق ال أ م ري ال م ؤ م ن ني ( عليه السالم ) ث ال ث ع ال م ات ل ل م ر ائ ي ي ن ش ط إ ذ ا ر أ ى الن اس و ي ك س ل إ ذ ا ك ان و ح د ه و حي أ ن حي م د يف مج يع أ م ور ه. ب And by his chain, He asws said: Amir Al-Momineen asws said: There are three signs for the show-off He is active when he sees the people (around him), and he is lazy when he is alone, and he loves to be praised in the entirety of his affairs. 26 For detailed Ahadeeth on showing off, please refer to Al Kafir, V 2, The Book of Eman and Kufr Ch 116 https://hubeali.com/books/english-books/alkafivol2/alkafiv2- TheBookOfBeliefAndDisbelief(9).pdf VERSE 7 و ي ن ع ون ال م اع ون }7{ 24 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 116 H 1 25 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 116 H 3 26 Al Kafi V 2 The Book Of Belief and Disbelief CH 116 H 8 14 out of 16

But rather, his blood is saved by it and he is named as a Muslim by it, and if were he not to pay it, Salāt would not be Acceptable from him, and that upon you, regarding your wealth, is other than the Zakāt. ف ق ل ت أ ص ل ح ك الل ه و م ا ع ل ي ن ا يف أ م و ال ن ا غ ي ر الز ك اة ف ق ال س ب ح ان الل ه أ م ا ت س م ع الل ه ع ز و ج ل ي ق ول يف ك ت اب ه و ال ذ ين يف أ م واهل م ح ق م ع ل وم. ل لس ائ ل و ال م ح ر وم إىل قوله وقوله عزوجل: " وينعون املاعون " هو القرض يقرضه واملعروف يصنعه ومتاع البيت يعريه ومنه الزكوة So I said, May Allah azwj Keep you well! And what is (imposed) upon us regarding our wealth, apart from the Zakāt? So he asws said: Glory be to Allah azwj! Have you not heard Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying in His azwj Book: And those in whose wealth there is a known right [70:24] For the beggar and the deprived [70:25], up to His (s.w.t.) Words: And they are preventing the necessaries (of life) [107:7] It is the loan he lends, and the act of kindness which he does, and provisions of the house he gives, and from it is the Zakat. فقلت له: ان لنا جريانا إذا أعرناهم متاعا كسروه وأفسدوه فعلينا جناح أن ننعهم So I said to him asws ; We have a neighbour, if we give him any household item he breaks it and spoils it, so do we have a reason to withhold it from him? فقال: ال ليس عليكم جناح ان متنعوهم إذا كانوا كذلك. He asws said: No, that is not a reason for you to withhold it from him, even if that is what he does. 27 يف من ال حيضره الفقيه وهنى رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله ان ينع احد املاعون جاره وقال: من منع املاعون جاره منعه اهلل خريه يوم القيامة ووكله إىل نفسه ومن وكله إىل نفسه فما اسوء حاله.
