S 3 A 183

قوله تعالى:

لَقَدْ سَمِعَ اللّٰهُ قَوْلَ الَّذِينَ قٰالُوا إِنَّ اللّٰهَ فَقِيرٌ وَنَحْنُ أَغْنِيٰاءُ [آل عمران: 181]

99-/Q3:181 M. H. Shakir: Allah has certainly heard the saying of those who said: Surely Allah is poor and we are rich; We will record what they say and their killing the prophets unjustly, and We will say: Taste the chastisement of burning.

1998-/_1 عليّ بن إبراهيم، قال: و اللّه ما رأوا اللّه فيعلمون أنّه فقير، و لكنّهم رأوا أولياء اللّه فقراء، فقالوا: لو كان اللّه غنيّاً لأغنى أولياءه، فافتخروا على اللّه في الغناء.

99-/1998 _1- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: By Allah, they did not see Allah to know that He is poor; rather, they saw the friends of Allah to be poor. So they said: “If Allah were rich, He would enrich His friends,” and they boasted over Allah on account of wealth.

قوله تعالى:

اَلَّذِينَ قٰالُوا إِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنٰا أَلاّٰ نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَنٰا بِقُرْبٰانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ النّٰارُ قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ [آل عمران: 183]

99-/Q3:183 M. H. Shakir: Those who said: Surely Allah has enjoined us that we should not believe in any messenger until he brings to us an offering which fire consumes. Say: Indeed, there came to you messengers before me with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful?

1999-/_2 عليّ بن إبراهيم: إنّ قوماً من اليهود قالوا لرسول اللّه (صلّى اللّه عليه و آله): لن نؤمن لك حتّى تأتينا بقربان تأكله النار. و كان عند بني إسرائيل طست، كانوا يقرّبون القربان فيضعونه في الطست، فتجيء نار فتقع فيه فتحرقه، فقالوا لرسول اللّه (صلّى اللّه عليه و آله): لن نؤمن لك حتّى تأتينا بقربان تأكله النار كما كان لبني إسرائيل، فقال اللّه تعالى: قُلْ لهم يا محمّد: قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ.

99-/1999 _2- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim: A group of the Jews said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), “We will never believe you until you bring us an offering which fire consumes.” The Children of Israel had a basin; they would present an offering and place it in the basin, then a fire would come, fall upon it, and consume it. So they said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), “We will not believe you until you bring us an offering consumed by fire, just as the Children of Israel had.” Then Allah, exalted, said: Say to them, O Muhammad: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful?

99-/2000 _3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)، قَالَ: «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْقَدَرِيَّةَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْخَوَارِجَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْجِئَةَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْجِئَةَ». قال: قلتُ: لعنتَ هؤلاء مرّةً مرّةً، و لعنتَ هؤلاء مرّتين؟ قال: «إنّ هؤلاء يقولون: إنّ قتلتَنا مؤمنون، فدماؤُنا متلطّخةٌ بثيابِهم إلى يوم القيامة، إنّ اللّه حكى عن قومٍ في كتابِه: أَلاّٰ نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَنٰا بِقُرْبٰانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ النّٰارُ قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ». قال: «كان بين القائلين و القاتلين خمسِمائةِ عامٍ، فألزمهم اللّه القتلَ برضاهم ما فعلوا».

99-/2000 _3- Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Marwak ibn ‘Ubayd, from a man, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), said: “May Allah curse the Qadariyya; may Allah curse the Khawarij; may Allah curse the Murji’a; may Allah curse the Murji’a.” I said: You cursed these once each, but you cursed those twice? He said: “These claim that those who killed us were believers; thus our blood is smeared upon their garments until the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, Allah related about a people in His Book: ‘We shall not believe in a messenger until he brings us an offering consumed by fire. Say: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful.’ There were five hundred years between those who said it and those who killed, yet Allah held them to be killers due to their approval of what was done.”

99-/2001 _3- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ: «و قد علم أنّ هؤلاء لم يقتلوا، و لكن فقد كان هواهم مع الذين قتلوا، فسمّاهم اللّه تعالى قاتلين لمتابعة هواهم و رضاهم لذلك الفعل».

99-/2001 _3- Al-‘Ayyashi, from Sama‘ah, who said: I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) say regarding Allah’s words: “Say: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful”: “He knew that these people did not kill, but their inclination was with those who did the killing. So Allah, exalted, called them killers due to following their desire and being pleased with that deed.”

99-/2002 _4- عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْقَدَرِيَّةَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْجِئَةَ، لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُرْجِئَةَ». قال: قلتُ له: جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ، كيف لعنتَ هؤلاء مرّةً، و لعنتَ هؤلاء مرّتين؟ فقال: «إنّ هؤلاء زعموا أنّ الذين قتلونا كانوا مؤمنين، فثيابُهم ملطّخةٌ بدمائنا إلى يوم القيامة، أما تسمع لقول اللّه: اَلَّذِينَ قٰالُوا إِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنٰا أَلاّٰ نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتّٰى يَأْتِيَنٰا بِقُرْبٰانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ النّٰارُ قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: صٰادِقِينَ؟». قال: «فكان بين الذين خوطبوا بهذا القول، و بين القاتلين خمسُ مائةِ سنةٍ، فسمّاهم اللّه قاتلين برضاهم بما صنع أولئك».

99-/2002 _4- From ‘Umar ibn Ma‘mar. Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: “May Allah curse the Qadariyya; may Allah curse the Haruriyya; may Allah curse the Murji’a; may Allah curse the Murji’a.” I said to him: May I be your ransom, how is it that you cursed these once, but cursed those twice? He said: “These alleged that those who killed us were believers; so their garments are stained with our blood until the Day of Resurrection. Do you not hear Allah’s saying: ‘Those who said: Surely Allah has enjoined us that we should not believe in any messenger until he brings to us an offering which fire consumes. Say: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs ... to His saying: ... truthful?’ There were five hundred years between those addressed by this statement and the killers; yet Allah named them killers because of their approval of what those people did.”

99-/2003 _5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ، عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)، قَالَ: «لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ وَ قد علم أنّهم قالوا: و اللّه ما قتلنا و لا شهدنا». قال: «و إنّما قِيلَ لهم: ابرؤوا من قتلتهم، فأبوا».

99-/2003 _5- Muhammad ibn Hashim, from one who related it to him, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), said: “When this verse was revealed: ‘Say: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful,’ — and He knew that they said, ‘By Allah, we neither killed nor witnessed [it]’ — it was merely said to them: ‘Disavow your killers,’ but they refused.”

99-/2004 _6- عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَرْقَطِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)، قَالَ لِي: «تَنْزِلُ الْكُوفَةَ»؟ قلتُ: نعم. قال: «فترون قتلةَ الحسين بين أظهُرِكُم؟». قال: قلتُ: جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ ما رأيتُ منهم أحداً! قال: «فإذاً أنت لا ترى القاتلَ إلا من قتل، أو من ولِيَ القتل؟ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ إلى قولِ اللّه: قُلْ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِي بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ وَبِالَّذِي قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰادِقِينَ؟ فأيُّ رسولٍ قَتَلَ الَّذِينَ كان محمّدٌ (صلّى اللّه عليه و آله) بين أظهرِهم، و لم يكن بينه و بين عيسى (عليهما السّلام) رسولٌ؟! إنّما رضُوا قتلَ أولئك فسمّوا قاتلين».

99-/2004 _6- From Muhammad ibn al-Arqat, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him). He said to me: “Do you reside in Kufa?” I said: Yes. He said: “Then do you see the killers of al-Husayn among you?” I said: May I be your ransom, I have not seen any of them! He said: “So you consider a killer to be only one who directly killed, or one who oversaw the killing? Have you not heard Allah’s saying: ‘Say: Indeed, messengers before me came to you with clear proofs and with what you said; why then did you kill them if you are truthful?’ Which messenger did those people kill among whom Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was living, when there was no messenger between him and Jesus (peace be upon them)? They were merely pleased with the killing of those [earlier prophets]; so they were named killers.”

قوله تعالى:

فَإِنْ كَذَّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ جَاءُوا بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَالْكِتَابِ الْمُنِيرِ [آل عمران: 184]

99-/Q3:184 M. H. Shakir: But if they reject you, so indeed were rejected messengers before you who came with clear arguments and scriptures and the illuminating book.
