Al-Hijr Ayah 1-3

قوله تعالى:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الر تِلْكَ آيٰاتُ الْكِتٰابِ وَ قُرْآنٍ مُبِينٍ• رُبَمٰا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كٰانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ -إلى قوله تعالى- يَعْلَمُونَ [1-3]

ترجمته:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) manifest. Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims. Leave them to eat and enjoy and let (false) hope divert them; for they will soon know. (Quran 15:1-3, M. H. Shakir)

معنى الر قد تقدم [1].

ترجمته:

The meaning of “Alif Lam Ra” has already been discussed. [1]

99-/5808 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ:قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ،عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ،نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ:لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلاَّ مُسْلِمٌ.فَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ.ثُمَّ قَالَ: ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَ يَتَمَتَّعُوا وَ يُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ أَيْ يُشْغِلُهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ ».

99-/5808 _1- Translation:

‘Ali ibn Ibrahim: He said: My father narrated to me, from Muhammad ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from ‘Umar ibn Udhayna, from Rifa‘a, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “When it is the Day of Resurrection, a caller from the presence of Allah will proclaim: None shall enter Paradise except a Muslim. On that day those who disbelieved will wish that they had been Muslims. Then he recited: ‘Leave them to eat and enjoy and let (false) hope divert them; for they will soon know’ (Quran 15:3, M. H. Shakir).”

99-/5809 _2- سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ،عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ،عَنِ الْمُنَخَّلِ بْنِ جَمِيلٍ،عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ،قَالَ:قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [2](عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: رُبَمٰا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كٰانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ:هُوَ إِذَا خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ شِيعَتِي،وَ خَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ وَ شِيعَتُهُ،وَ نَقْتُلُ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ،فَعِنْدَهَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ».

99-/5809 _2- Translation:

Sa‘d ibn ‘Abdillah said: Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from ‘Ammar ibn Marwan, from al-Munakhkhal ibn Jamil, from Jabir ibn Yazid, who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: “The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, ‘Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims’ (Quran 15:2, M. H. Shakir), said: This will be when I and my Shi‘a go forth, and ‘Uthman and his followers go forth, and we slay the sons of Umayya; it is then that those who disbelieved will wish that they had been Muslims.”

99-/5810 _3- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ،عَنْ كَامِلٍ التَّمَّارِ، قَالَ:وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: رُبَمٰا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كٰانُوا مُسَلِّمِينَ بِفَتْحِ السِّينِ مُثَقَّلَةُ اللاَّمِ،هَكَذَا قَرَأَهَا.

99-/5810 _3- Translation:

And from him, he said: Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali ibn al-Nu‘man narrated to us, from his father, from ‘Abdullah ibn Muskan, from Kamil al-Tammar, who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), regarding Allah’s saying, ‘Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims’ (Quran 15:2, M. H. Shakir), read it as musallimīn—with the sin fathah (open) and the lam doubled—thus he recited it.

99-/5811 _4- الْإِمَامُ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ اتَّقُوا يَوْماً لاٰ تَجْزِي نَفْسٌ عَنْ نَفْسٍ شَيْئاً [1]لاَ تَدْفَعُ عَنْهَا عَذَاباً قَدِ اسْتَحَقَّتْهُ عِنْدَ النَّزْعِ وَ لاٰ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهٰا شَفٰاعَةٌ [2]يَشْفَعُ لَهَا بِتَأْخِيرِ الْمَوْتِ عَنْهَا وَ لاٰ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْهٰا عَدْلٌ [3]لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهَا فِدَاءٌ مَكَانَهُ،يُمَاتُ وَ يُتْرَكُ هُوَ فِدَاءٌ. [4]

قَالَ الصَّادِقُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ الْمَوْتِ،فَإِنَّ الشَّفَاعَةَ وَ الْفِدَاءَ لاَ يُغْنِي عَنْهُ،فَأَمَّا فِي الْقِيَامَةِ،فَإِنَّا وَ أَهْلَنَا نَجْزِي عَنْ شِيعَتِنَا كُلَّ جَزَاءٍ،لَيَكُونَنَّ عَلَى الْأَعْرَافِ-بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ-مُحَمَّدٌ،وَ عَلِيٌّ،وَ فَاطِمَةُ،وَ الْحَسَنُ، وَ الْحُسَيْنُ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ الطَّيِّبُونَ مِنْ آلِهِمْ،فَنَرَى بَعْضَ شِيعَتِنَا فِي تِلْكَ الْعَرَصَاتِ،مِمَّنْ كَانَ مُقَصِّراً،فِي بَعْضِ شَدَائِدِهَا،فَنَبْعَثُ عَلَيْهِمْ خِيَارَ شِيعَتِنَا،كَسَلْمَانَ،وَ الْمِقْدَادِ،وَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ،وَ عَمَّارٍ،وَ نُظَرَائِهِمْ فِي الْعَصْرِ الَّذِي يَلِيهِمْ،ثُمَّ فِي كُلِّ عَصْرٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ،فَيَنْقَضُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ كَالْبُزَاةِ وَ الصُّقُورِ،وَ يَتَنَاوَلُونَهُمْ كَمَا تَتَنَاوَلُ الْبُزَاةُ وَ الصُّقُورُ صَيْدَهَا، فَيَزِفُّونَهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زَفّاً.وَ إِنَّا لَنَبْعَثُ عَلَى آخَرِينَ مِنْ مُحِبِّينَا مِنْ خِيَارِ شِيعَتِنَا كَالْحَمَامِ،فَيَلْتَقِطُونَهُمْ مِنَ الْعَرَصَاتِ كَمَا يَلْتَقِطُ الطَّيْرُ الْحَبَّ،وَ يَنْقُلُونَهُمْ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ بِحَضْرَتِنَا.وَ سَيُؤْتَى بِالْوَاحِدِ مِنْ مُقَصِّرِي شِيعَتِنَا فِي أَعْمَالِهِ،بَعْدَ أَنْ قَدْ حَازَ الْوَلاَيَةَ وَ التَّقِيَّةَ وَ حُقُوقَ إِخْوَانِهِ،وَ يُوقَفُ بِإِزَائِهِ مَا بَيْنَ مِائَةٍ وَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ النُّصَّابِ،فَيُقَالُ لَهُ:

هَؤُلاَءِ-فِدَاؤُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيَدْخُلُ هَؤُلاَءِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْجَنَّةَ،وَ أُولَئِكَ النُّصَّابُ النَّارَ،وَ ذَلِكَ مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: رُبَمٰا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَعْنِي بِالْوَلاَيَةِ: لَوْ كٰانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ فِي الدُّنْيَا،مُنْقَادِينَ لِلْإِمَامَةِ،لِيُجْعَلَ مُخَالِفُوهُمْ فِدَاءَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ».

99-/5811 _4- Translation:

Imam al-‘Askari (peace be upon him) said: “Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: ‘And guard (yourselves) against a day when one soul shall not avail another in the least’ [1]—that is, it shall not ward off from it a punishment it has deserved at the time of the taking of the soul—‘nor shall intercession be accepted from it’ [2]—that is, no intercession will be accepted for it to delay death from it—‘nor shall any compensation be taken from it’ [3]—that is, no ransom in its stead will be accepted; he will die and be left—he is the ransom. [4]

Al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: This day is the day of death; intercession and ransom do not avail for it. But as for the Resurrection, we and our Household will recompense on behalf of our Shi‘a in every way. Verily, upon the Heights—between Paradise and the Fire—will be Muhammad, ‘Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn (peace be upon them), and the pure ones from their progeny. We shall see some of our Shi‘a in those courtyards, among those who fell short, in some of its hardships; then we will dispatch to them the choicest of our Shi‘a—such as Salman, al-Miqdad, Abu Dharr, ‘Ammar, and their likes in the era after them, and so in every era until the Day of Resurrection. They will swoop down upon them like hawks and falcons, seizing them as hawks and falcons seize their prey, then escorting them swiftly to Paradise. And we shall send to others among our lovers, from the best of our Shi‘a, as if doves, who will pick them up from the courtyards as birds pick up grain, and they will convey them to the gardens in our presence. And one of our Shi‘a who fell short in his deeds—though he had acquired loyalty (wilaya), taqiyya, and the rights of his brethren—will be brought, and set opposite him will be from one hundred and more than that up to one hundred thousand of the nawsib (haters of the Ahl al-Bayt). It will be said to him: These are your ransom from the Fire. Thus these believers will enter Paradise, and those nawsib the Fire. And that is the meaning of Allah’s saying: ‘Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims’—i.e., in regard to loyalty (wilaya)—‘that they had been Muslims in the world, yielding to the Imamate, so that their opponents would be made their ransom from the Fire.’ (Quran 15:2, M. H. Shakir)” And this passage refers also to Quran 2:48: “And guard yourselves against a day when one soul shall not avail another, nor shall intercession be accepted from it, nor shall compensation be taken from it, nor shall they be helped.” (M. H. Shakir)

99-/5812 _5- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ الْمَكِّيِّ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: رُبَمٰا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كٰانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ .

99-/5812 _5- Translation:

Al-‘Ayyashi: From ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Ataa’ al-Makki, who said: I asked Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) about Allah’s saying, ‘Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims’ (Quran 15:2, M. H. Shakir).

He said: “A caller will call out on the Day of Resurrection, audible to all creatures: None shall enter Paradise except a Muslim. Then the rest of the creation will wish they had been Muslims.”

99-/5813 _6- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «فَثَمَّ يَوَدُّ الْخَلْقُ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ».

99-/5813 _6- Translation:

And with this chain, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him): “Thereupon the creatures will wish that they had been Muslims.” (alluding to Quran 15:2, M. H. Shakir)

قوله تعالى:

وَ مٰا أَهْلَكْنٰا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ إِلاّٰ وَ لَهٰا كِتٰابٌ مَعْلُومٌ -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ مٰا كٰانُوا إِذاً مُنْظَرِينَ [4-8]

ترجمته:

And We did not destroy any town but it had a term made known. No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it). And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane. Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones? We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited. (Quran 15:4-8, M. H. Shakir)
