وَ إِمّٰا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغٰاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ تَرْجُوهٰا فَقُلْ لَهُمْ قَوْلاً مَيْسُوراً [28]

Quran 17:28 — M. H. Shakir: And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your Lord which you hope for, then speak to them a gentle word.

99- _1- ابْنُ شَهْرَ آشُوبٍ:نَقْلاً عَنْ كِتَابِ الشِّيرَازِيِّ: أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ(عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ)لَمَّا ذَكَرَتْ حَالَهَا وَ سَأَلَتْ جَارِيَةً،بَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)فَقَالَ:«يَا فَاطِمَةُ،وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ،إِنَّ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَرْبَعَمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ مَا لَهُمْ طَعَامٌ وَ لاَ ثِيَابٌ، وَ لَوْلاَ خَشْيَتِي خَصْلَةً لَأَعْطَيْتُكِ مَا سَأَلْتِ:يَا فَاطِمَةُ،إِنِّي لاَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ يَنْفَكَّ عَنْكِ أَجْرُكِ إِلَى الْجَارِيَةِ،وَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَخْصِمَكِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا طَلَبَ حَقَّهُ مِنْكِ».ثُمَّ عَلَّمَهَا صَلاَةَ التَّسْبِيحِ،فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ:«مَضَيْتِ تُرِيدِينَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الدُّنْيَا فَأَعْطَانَا اللَّهُ ثَوَابَ الْآخِرَةِ».

قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ عِنْدِ فَاطِمَةَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ: وَ إِمّٰا تُعْرِضَنَّ عَنْهُمُ ابْتِغٰاءَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ تَرْجُوهٰا يَعْنِي عَنْ قَرَابَتِكَ وَ ابْنَتِكَ فَاطِمَةَ اِبْتِغٰاءَ يَعْنِي طَلَبَ رَحْمَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكَ يَعْنِي رِزْقاً مِنْ رَبِّكَ تَرْجُوهٰا فَقُلْ لَهُمْ قَوْلاً مَيْسُوراً يَعْنِي قَوْلاً حَسَناً.فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ أَنْفَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)جَارِيَةً إِلَيْهَا لِلْخِدْمَةِ وَ سَمَّاهَا فِضَّةَ.

99-/_1- (al-Manāqib 3:341): Ibn Shahr Āshūb, quoting from the book of al-Shīrāzī: When Fāṭima (peace be upon her) described her condition and asked for a maidservant, the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and his Family) wept and said: “O Fāṭima, by Him Who sent me with the truth, there are four hundred men in the mosque who have neither food nor clothing; and were it not that I fear one thing, I would have given you what you asked. O Fāṭima, I do not want your reward to be transferred to the maidservant, and I fear that ‘Alī son of Abī Ṭālib will dispute with you on the Day of Resurrection before Allah, Mighty and Majestic, when he demands his right from you.” Then he taught her the Prayer of Tasbīḥ. The Commander of the Faithful said: “You went intending from the Messenger of Allah the world, but Allah granted us the reward of the Hereafter.”

Abū Hurayra said: When the Messenger of Allah left Fāṭima’s presence, Allah revealed to His Messenger: “And if you turn away from them to seek mercy from your Lord which you hope for, then speak to them a gentle word,” meaning: from your kinsfolk and your daughter Fāṭima; “to seek” meaning to seek mercy from your Lord, that is, provision from your Lord which you hope for; “then speak to them a gentle word” meaning a good word. When this verse was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and his Family) sent her a maidservant to help her and named her Fidda.

قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَلاٰ يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَ لاٰ تَحْوِيلاً [56]

Quran 17:56 — M. H. Shakir: Say: Call on those whom you assert besides Him; so they shall not have the power to remove distress from you nor in changing it.
