Yusuf Ayah 111

قِبَلِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَنْزِغُ بِهِ الشَّيْطَانُ؟ قَالَ:فَقَالَ:«إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا اتَّخَذَ عَبْداً رَسُولاً أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةَ وَ الْوَقَارَ،فَكَانَ الَّذِي يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللَّهِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي يَرَاهُ بِعَيْنِهِ».

He said: “Could that which comes from Allah be something by which Satan interferes?” He said: “Indeed, when Allah takes a servant as a messenger, He sends down upon him tranquility and dignity, so that what comes to him from Allah is like that which he sees with his very eye.”

99-/5428 _8- أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ الطَّبَرِيُّ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَلِيٍّ النَّهَاوَنْدِيِّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْقَاسَانِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ يُوسُفَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ طُولَ دَوْلَةِ الْجَوْرِ،فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):وَ اللَّهِ لاَ يَكُونُ مَا تَأْمُلُونَ حَتَّى يَهْلِكَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ،وَ يَضْمَحِلَّ الْجَاهِلُونَ،وَ يَأْمَنَ الْمُتَّقُونَ، وَ قَلِيلٌ مَا يَكُونُ حَتَّى لاَ يَكُونَ لِأَحَدِكُمْ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمِهِ،وَ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ أَهْوَنَ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ عِنْدَ صَاحِبِهَا،فَبَيْنَا أَنْتُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ: حَتّٰى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا جٰاءَهُمْ نَصْرُنٰا ».

99-/5428 _8- Abu Ja‘far ibn Jarir al-Tabari, with his chain to Abu ‘Ali al-Nahawandi, who said: Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qasani narrated to us, who said: Muhammad ibn Sulayman narrated to us, who said: ‘Ali ibn Yusuf narrated to us, who said: My father narrated to me, from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), who said: “A man came to the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) and complained to him about the length of the reign of injustice. The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said to him: ‘By Allah, what you hope for will not be until the false ones perish, the ignorant fade away, and the Godwary are secure; and it will be but a little before none of you will have a place for his foot, and until you shall be, to the people, more insignificant than a carcass is to its owner. While you are thus, Allah’s help and the victory will come—and it is the saying of my Lord, Mighty and Majestic, in His Book: Hatta idha istay’asa al-rusulu wa zannuu annahum qad kudhibuu ja’ahum nasruna [12:110]—Until when the messengers despaired and the people became certain that they were indeed told a lie, Our help came to them, and whom We pleased was delivered; and Our punishment is not averted from the guilty people (M. H. Shakir).’”

ذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ الطَّبَرِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي أَبْوَابِ الْقَائِمِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ).

Al-Tabari mentioned this hadith in his book, in the chapters on al-Qa’im (peace be upon him).

قوله تعالى:

لَقَدْ كٰانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبٰابِ -إلى قوله تعالى- يُؤْمِنُونَ [111] /5429 _1-

The saying of the Exalted: Laqad kana fi qasasihim ‘ibratun li-uli al-albab … yu’minun [12:111]—Certainly there are signs in their stories for men of understanding. It is not a narrative invented, but a verification of what is before it and a distinct explanation of all things and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe (M. H. Shakir). /5429 _1-

و قال عليّ بن إبراهيم:ثم قال اللّه عزّ و جلّ: لَقَدْ كٰانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِأُولِي الْأَلْبٰابِ يعني لأولي العقول: مٰا كٰانَ حَدِيثاً يُفْتَرىٰ يعني القرآنَ لٰكِنْ تَصْدِيقَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ يعني مِن كتب الأنبياء وَ تَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ هُدىً وَ رَحْمَةً لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ .

/5429 _1- And ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: Then Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: “Certainly there are lessons in their stories for people of intellect.” “Not a narrative invented” means the Qur’an; “but a confirmation of what is before it” means from the books of the prophets; “and a detailed explanation of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for a people who believe.”
