فضلها

99-/6829 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ فِي فَضْلِ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ،عَنْ عُمَرَ،عَنْ أَبَانٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «مَنْ أَدْمَنَ قِرَاءَةَ سُورَةِ مَرْيَمَ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُصِيبَ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ،وَ كَانَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ أُعْطِيَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ [1] مِثْلَ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)فِي الدُّنْيَا».

99-/6829) Ibn Bābawayh, with his chain previously mentioned under the merits of Sūrat al-Kahf, from al-Hasan, from ‘Umar, from Abān, from Abū ‘Abdillāh (peace be upon him), said: “Whoever persists in reciting Sūrat Maryam will not die until he attains what suffices him with respect to himself, his wealth, and his children; and in the Hereafter he will be among the companions of Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon him), and he will be given in the Hereafter [1] the like of the dominion of Solomon son of David (peace be upon them) in this world.”

99-/6830 _2- وَ مِنْ(خَوَاصِّ الْقُرْآنِ):رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ أُعْطِيَ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ بِعَدَدِ مَنِ ادَّعَى لِلَّهِ وَلَداً سُبْحَانَهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ،وَ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ صَدَّقَ زَكَرِيَّا وَ يَحْيَى وَ عِيسَى وَ مُوسَى وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ يَعْقُوبَ(عَلَيْهِمْ السَّلاَمُ)عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ،وَ عَدَدَ مَنْ كَذَّبَ بِهِمْ،وَ يُبْنَى لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَصْرٌ أَوْسَعُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ،وَ يُحْشَرُ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي أَوَّلِ زُمْرَةِ السَّابِقِينَ،وَ لاَ يَمُوتُ حَتَّى يَسْتَغْنِيَ هُوَ وَ وُلْدُهُ،وَ يُعْطَى فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِثْلَ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):وَ مَنْ كَتَبَهَا وَ عَلَّقَهَا عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يَرَ فِي مَنَامِهِ إِلاَّ خَيْراً،وَ إِنْ كَتَبَهَا فِي حَائِطِ الْبَيْتِ مَنَعَتْ طَوَارِقَهُ،وَ حَرَسَتْ مَا فِيهِ،وَ إِنْ شَرِبَهَا الْخَائِفُ أَمِنَ».

99-/6830) And among (Khawāṣṣ al-Qur’ān): It is narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) that he said: “Whoever recites this sūrah will be given good deeds equal to the number of those who claimed for Allah a child—Glory be to Him, there is no god but He—and equal to the number of those who affirmed Zakariyyā, Yaḥyā, ‘Īsā, Mūsā, Ibrāhīm, Ismā‘īl, Isḥāq, and Ya‘qūb (peace be upon them), ten good deeds, and equal to the number of those who denied them; and a palace will be built for him in Paradise more expansive than the heaven and the earth, in the highest Garden of Firdaws; and he will be gathered with the Godwary in the first group of the foremost; and he will not die until he and his children become independent of need; and he will be given in Paradise like the dominion of Solomon (peace be upon him). And whoever writes it and hangs it upon himself will see nothing but good in his sleep; and if he writes it on the wall of the house, it will repel night assailants and guard what is in it; and if one who fears drinks it, he will be safe.”

99-/6831 _3- وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «مَنْ كَتَبَهَا وَ جَعَلَهَا فِي إِنَاءِ زُجَاجٍ ضَيِّقِ الرَّأْسِ نَظِيفٍ،وَ جَعَلَهَا فِي مَنْزِلِهِ كَثُرَ خَيْرُهُ،وَ يَرَى الْخَيْرَاتِ فِي مَنَامِهِ،كَمَا يَرَى أَهْلَهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ،وَ إِذَا كُتِبَتْ عَلَى حَائِطِ الْبَيْتِ مَنَعَتْ طَوَارِقَهُ وَ حَرَسَتْ مَا فِيهِ،وَ إِذَا شَرِبَهَا الْخَائِفُ أَمِنَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى».

99-/6831) And from al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him): “Whoever writes it and places it in a glass vessel with a narrow mouth, clean, and puts it in his house, his good will become abundant, and he will see good things in his sleep, as he sees his family in his home; and if it is written upon the wall of the house, it will repel night assailants and guard what is in it; and if one who fears drinks it, he will be secure, by Allah Most High’s permission.”

قوله تعالى:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ كهيعص [1]

Qur’an 19:1 (M. H. Shakir): Kaf Ha Ya Ain Sad.

99-/6832 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الزَّنْجَانِيُّ-فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ عَلَى يَدَيْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ الْوَرَّاقِ-قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنْبَرِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَسْمَاءَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الثَّوْرِيِّ،قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ):يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ،مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كهيعص ؟قَالَ:«مَعْنَاهُ:أَنَا الْكَافِي،الْهَادِي،الْوَلِيُّ،الْعَالِمُ،الصَّادِقُ الْوَعْدِ».

99-/6832) Ibn Bābawayh said: Abū al-Hasan Muḥammad b. Hārūn al-Zanjānī informed us—in what he wrote to me by the hand of ‘Alī b. Aḥmad al-Baghdādī the stationer—he said: Mu‘ādh b. al-Muthannā al-‘Anbarī narrated to us, he said: ‘Abdullāh b. Asmā’ narrated to us, he said: Juwairiya narrated to us, from Sufyān b. Sa‘īd al-Thawrī, who said: I said to Ja‘far b. Muḥammad b. ‘Alī b. al-Ḥusayn b. ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon them): O son of the Messenger of Allah, what is the meaning of Allah’s saying Kaf-Ha-Ya-‘Ain-Ṣad? He said: “Its meaning is: I am the Sufficient, the Guide, the Protector, the All-knowing, the Truthful in promise.”

99-/6833 _2- وَ عَنْهُ:عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الطَّالَقَانِيِّ(رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْجَلُودِيُّ،قَالَ:أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،قَالَ: حَضَرْتُ عِنْدَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)،فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ كهيعص ،فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«كَافٌ:كَافٍ لِشِيعَتِنَا،هَاءٌ:هَادٍ لَهُمْ،يَاءٌ:وَلِيٌّ لَهُمْ،عَيْنٌ:عَالِمٌ بِأَهْلِ طَاعَتِنَا،صَادٌ:صَادِقٌ لَهُمْ وَعْدُهُ،حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ بِهِمُ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الَّتِي وَعَدَهَا إِيَّاهُمْ فِي بَطْنِ الْقُرْآنِ».

99-/6833) And from him: from Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm b. Isḥāq al-Ṭālaqānī (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: ‘Abd al-‘Azīz b. Yaḥyā al-Jalūdī narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad b. Zakariyyā informed us, he said: Ja‘far b. Muḥammad b. ‘Umārah narrated to us, from his father, who said: I was present with Ja‘far b. Muḥammad (peace be upon them), when a man entered upon him and asked him about Kaf-Ha-Ya-‘Ain-Ṣad. He (peace be upon him) said: “Kāf: Sufficient for our Shī‘a; Hā’: a Guide for them; Yā’: a Protector for them; ‘Ain: Knowing those among our followers who are obedient; Ṣād: Truthful to them in His promise—until He brings them to the station which He has promised them in the inner (meaning) of the Qur’an.”

99-/6834 _3- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ،بْنِ حَاتِمٍ النَّوْفَلِيُّ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِالْكِرْمَانِيِّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الْوَشَّاءِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ طَاهِرٍ [1] الْقُمِّيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَحْرِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَسْرُورٍ،عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُمِّيِّ،فِي حَدِيثٍ لَهُ مَعَ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ

Ṭāhir [1] al-Qummī narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad b. Baḥr b. Sahl al-Shaybānī narrated to us, he said: Aḥmad b. Masrūr narrated to us, from Sa‘d b. ‘Abdullāh al-Qummī, in a report of his with Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan b.—
