Yunus Ayah 12

وَ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى،يُثَقِّلَ اللَّهُ بِهَا الْمَوَازِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى:وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَهِيَ كَلِمَةٌ أَعْلَى الْكَلِمَاتِ،وَ أَحَبُّهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ،يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنِّي،لاَ تَصِحُّ الصَّلاَةُ إِلاَّ بِهَا لِكَرَامَتِهَا عَلَى اللَّهِ،وَ هُوَ الاِسْمُ الْأَكْرَمُ. قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ:صَدَقْتَ-يَا مُحَمَّدُ-فَمَا جَزَاءُ قَائِلِهَا؟ قَالَ:إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ:(سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ)سَبَّحَ مَعَهُ مَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ،فَيُعْطَى قَائِلُهَا عَشْرَ أَمْثَالِهَا،وَ إِذَا قَالَ:(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ) أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِنَعِيمِ الدُّنْيَا مَوْصُولاً بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ،وَ هِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي يَقُولُهَا أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوهَا،وَ يَنْقَطِعُ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي يَقُولُونَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَا خَلاَ(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ)وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ: دَعْوٰاهُمْ فِيهٰا سُبْحٰانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهٰا سَلاٰمٌ وَ آخِرُ دَعْوٰاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰالَمِينَ ،وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:(لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ)فَالْجَنَّةُ جَزَاؤُهُ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: هَلْ جَزٰاءُ الْإِحْسٰانِ إِلاَّ الْإِحْسٰانُ يَقُولُ:هَلْ جَزَاءُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ الْجَنَّةُ. فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ:صَدَقْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ».

English: It is the word of piety; by it Allah will make the scales heavy on the Day of Resurrection. As for His saying: “Allahu Akbar,” it is the highest of words and the most beloved to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. It means that nothing is greater than Me. The prayer is not valid except with it, due to its honor with Allah, and it is the most noble Name. The Jew said: You have spoken the truth, O Muhammad—so what is the reward of the one who says it? He said: When a servant says “Subhanallah,” everything beneath the Throne glorifies along with him, and the one who says it is given ten times its like. And when he says “Alhamdulillah,” Allah grants him the bliss of this world joined to the bliss of the Hereafter; and it is the word the people of Paradise say when they enter it, and the speech they used to say in the world will cease except for “Alhamdulillah”—and that is His saying: “Their cry therein shall be: Glory be to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting therein shall be: Peace; and the last of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.” As for his saying “La ilaha illa Allah,” its recompense is Paradise, and that is His saying, “Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?” meaning: Is the reward of “La ilaha illa Allah” anything but Paradise? The Jew said: You have spoken the truth, O Muhammad.

Qur’an 10:10

دَعْواهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَامٌ وَآخِرُ دَعْواهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

M. H. Shakir: Their cry therein will be: Glory be to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting therein shall be: Peace; and the last of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Qur’an 55:60

هَلْ جَزَاءُ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَّا الْإِحْسَانُ

M. H. Shakir: Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?

99-/4851

الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّسْبِيحِ؟فَقَالَ:«هُوَ اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ،وَ دَعْوَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ».

English (99-/4851 - Tafsir al-‘Ayyāshī): From Zayd al-Shahhām, from Abū ‘Abdillāh (peace be upon him). He said: I asked him about tasbīḥ. He said: “It is a Name from among the Names of Allah, and it is the invocation of the people of Paradise.”

99-/4852

الْمُفِيدُ فِي(الاِخْتِصَاصِ):بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)،عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)-فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ مَعَ يَهُودِيٍّ،وَ قَدْ سَأَلَهُ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ- قَالَ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ): «إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ:(سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ)سَبَّحَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مَعَهُ مَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ،فَيُعْطَى قَائِلُهَا عَشْرَ أَمْثَالِهَا،وَ إِذَا قَالَ:(الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ)أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِنَعِيمِ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَلْقَاهُ بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ،وَ هِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي يَقُولُهَا أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوهَا،وَ الْكَلاَمِ يَنْقَطِعُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَا خَلاَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهٰا سَلاٰمٌ».

English (99-/4852 - al-Mufīd, al-Ikhtiṣāṣ): With his chain from Ja‘far ibn Muḥammad, from his father, from his grandfather al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon them), from the Prophet (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)—in a long narration with a Jew who had asked him questions—he (blessings be upon him and his family) said: “When the servant says ‘Subḥānallāh,’ everything beneath the Throne glorifies along with him, and the one who says it is given ten times its like. And when he says ‘Al-ḥamdu lillāh,’ Allah bestows on him the bliss of this world until He meets him with the bliss of the Hereafter; and it is the word the people of Paradise say when they enter it, and speech comes to an end in the world except ‘Al-ḥamdu lillāh’; and that is His saying: ‘Their greeting therein shall be: Peace.’”

/4853

علي بن إبراهيم:قوله تعالى: وَ لَوْ يُعَجِّلُ اللّٰهُ لِلنّٰاسِ الشَّرَّ اسْتِعْجٰالَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْ ،قال:لو عجل اللّه لهم الشر كما يستعجلون الخير لقضي إليهم أجلهم،أي فرغ من أجلهم. قوله تعالى: وَ إِذٰا مَسَّ الْإِنْسٰانَ الضُّرُّ دَعٰانٰا لِجَنْبِهِ أَوْ قٰاعِداً أَوْ قٰائِماً فَلَمّٰا كَشَفْنٰا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُنٰا إِلىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ

English (/4853 - ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm): Regarding His saying, “And if Allah should hasten the evil to men as they desire the hastening on of good, their doom would certainly have been decreed for them,” he said: If Allah were to hasten evil for them as they hasten good, their appointed term would be concluded—meaning, their term would be finished. Regarding His saying, “And when affliction touches a man he calls on Us, reclining on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on as though he had never called on Us in affliction,” [10:12].

Qur’an 10:11

وَلَوْ يُعَجِّلُ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ الشَّرَّ اسْتِعْجَالَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرِ لَقُضِيَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَجَلُهُمْ فَنَذَرُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

M. H. Shakir: And if Allah should hasten the evil to men as they desire the hastening on of good, their doom would certainly have been decreed for them; so We leave those who hope not for Our meeting in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on.

Qur’an 10:12

وَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنسَانَ الضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنبِهِ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَائِمًا فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُنَا إِلَىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

M. H. Shakir: And when affliction touches a man he calls on Us, reclining on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on as though he had never called on Us in affliction; thus that which they do is made fair seeming to the extravagant.

/4854

علي بن إبراهيم،قال: دَعٰانٰا لِجَنْبِهِ العليل الذي لا يقدر أن يجلس أَوْ قٰاعِداً ،قال:الذي لا يقدر أن يقوم أَوْ قٰائِماً ،قال:الصحيح.و قوله: فَلَمّٰا كَشَفْنٰا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ أي ترك و مر و نسي كَأَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُنٰا إِلىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ . قوله تعالى: وَ لَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَمّٰا ظَلَمُوا وَ جٰاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنٰاتِ -إلى قوله تعالى- فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيكُمْ عُمُراً مِنْ قَبْلِهِ أَ فَلاٰ تَعْقِلُونَ

English (/4854 - ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm): He said regarding “he calls on Us, reclining on his side”: the sick person who is not able to sit; “or sitting”: the one not able to stand; “or standing”: the healthy. And His saying, “but when We remove his affliction from him, he passes on”—that is, he leaves off, goes on, and forgets—“as though he had never called on Us regarding an affliction that touched him.” His saying, “And certainly We destroyed generations before you when they were unjust and their apostles came to them with clear proofs”—up to His saying—“So indeed I have lived among you a lifetime before it; do you not then understand.”

Qur’an 10:13

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا الْقُرُونَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَاءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ وَمَا كَانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْقَوْمَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ

M. H. Shakir: And certainly We destroyed generations before you when they were unjust, and their apostles had come to them with clear arguments, and they would not believe; thus do We recompense the guilty people.

Qur’an 10:14

ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ خَلَائِفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ لِنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ تَعْمَلُونَ

M. H. Shakir: Then We made you successors in the land after them so that We may see how you act.

Qur’an 10:15

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا ائْتِ بِقُرْآنٍ غَيْرِ هَٰذَا أَوْ بَدِّلْهُ ۚ قُلْ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أُبَدِّلَهُ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِي ۖ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلَّا مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ ۖ إِنِّي أَخَافُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُ رَبِّي عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

M. H. Shakir: And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who hope not for Our meeting say: Bring a Quran other than this or change it. Say: It is not for me to change it of myself; I follow nothing but what is revealed to me; surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the chastisement of a grievous day.

Qur’an 10:16

قُلْ لَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا تَلَوْتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَا أَدْرَاكُمْ بِهِ ۖ فَقَدْ لَبِثْتُ فِيكُمْ عُمُرًا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

M. H. Shakir: Say: If Allah had desired I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you; indeed I have lived a lifetime among you before it; do you not then understand?

99-/4856

ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ:وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ أَوْ بَدِّلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَاتِجِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اِئْتِ بِقُرْآنٍ غَيْرِ هٰذٰا أَوْ بَدِّلْهُ : «يَعْنِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قُلْ مٰا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أُبَدِّلَهُ مِنْ تِلْقٰاءِ نَفْسِي إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلاّٰ مٰا يُوحىٰ إِلَيَّ يَعْنِي فِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

English (99-/4856 - ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm, with isnād): ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm said: As for His saying “or change it,” al-Ḥasan b. ‘Alī narrated to me, from his father, from Ḥammād b. ‘Īsā, from Abū al-Safātij, from Abū ‘Abdillāh (peace be upon him), regarding Allah’s saying, “Bring a Quran other than this or change it”: “It means the Commander of the Faithful, ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon him). ‘Say: It is not for me to change it of myself; I follow nothing but what is revealed to me’—meaning, concerning ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib, the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him).”
