Ta Ha, verses 40–42

إِذْ تَمْشِي أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُ فَرَجَعْنَاكَ إِلَىٰ أُمِّكَ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّاكَ فُتُونًا فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِي أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ عَلَىٰ قَدَرٍ يَا مُوسَىٰ • وَاصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي • اذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِآيَاتِي وَلَا تَنِيَا فِي ذِكْرِي

Qur’an 20:40–42 (M. H. Shakir): When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him? So We gave you back to your mother that her eye might be refreshed and she should not grieve; and you killed a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We tried you with a trial; then you stayed years among the people of Madyan; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa. And I have chosen you for Myself. Go you and your brother with My communications and be not remiss in remembering Me.

قال: «الحَبُّ: المؤمنُ، وذلك قولُه تعالى وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِنِّي والنَّوَى هو الكافرُ الذي نأى عنِ الحقِّ، فلم يقبلْه».

He said: “The habb (grain) is the believer, and that is His saying, ‘And I cast on you love from Me’; and the nawā (pit) is the disbeliever who has kept away from the truth and did not accept it.”

قوله تعالى: وَ فَتَنّٰاكَ فُتُوناً -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ لاٰ تَنِيٰا فِي ذِكْرِي [40-42] /7010 _1-علي بن إبراهيم: وَ فَتَنّٰاكَ فُتُوناً أي اختبرناكَ اختباراً، قوله تعالى: فَلَبِثْتَ سِنِينَ فِي أَهْلِ مَدْيَنَ يعني عند شعيب، و قوله تعالى: وَ اصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي أي اخترتُكَ، و قوله: اِذْهَبْ أَنْتَ وَ أَخُوكَ بِآيٰاتِي وَ لاٰ تَنِيٰا فِي ذِكْرِي أي لا تضعفا.

His saying, exalted is He: “And We tried you with a trial” up to His saying “and do not slacken in My remembrance” [20:40–42] /7010 _1 — ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm: “And We tried you with a trial” means We tested you with a test. His saying, “So you stayed years among the people of Midian” means with Shu‘ayb. And His saying, “And I have chosen you for Myself” means I have chosen you. And His saying, “Go you and your brother with My signs, and do not slacken in My remembrance” means do not weaken.

قوله تعالى:

اِذْهَبٰا إِلىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغىٰ • فَقُولاٰ لَهُ قَوْلاً لَيِّناً لَعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشىٰ [43 و 44]

His saying, exalted is He:

Qur’an 20:43–44 (M. H. Shakir)

اذْهَبَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُ طَغَىٰ • فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَيِّنًا لَعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ

Go you both to Firon, surely he has transgressed. Then speak to him a gentle word; perhaps he will be mindful or fear.

99-/7011 _2- الشَّيْخُ فِي (التَّهْذِيبِ): بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شَيْخٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، وَ كَانَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي حُرُوبِهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى هُوَ وَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بِصِفِّينَ، وَ رَفَعَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ يُسْمِعُ أَصْحَابَهُ: «وَ اللَّهِ، لَأَقْتُلَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ قَوْلِهِ: «إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى» خَفَضَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ، وَ كُنْتُ قَرِيباً مِنْهُ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّكَ حَلَفْتَ عَلَى مَا قُلْتَ ثُمَّ اسْتَثْنَيْتَ، فَمَا أَرَدْتَ بِذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الْحَرْبَ خُدْعَةٌ، وَ أَنَا عِنْدَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ كَذُوبٍ، فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُحَرِّضَ أَصْحَابِي عَلَيْهِمْ، لِئَلاَّ يَفْشَلُوا وَ لِكَيْ يَطْمَعُوا فِيهِمْ، فَافْهَمْ فَإِنَّكَ تَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ، وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ لِمُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)، حِينَ أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ: فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولاٰ لَهُ قَوْلاً لَيِّناً لَعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشىٰ وَ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَتَذَكَّرُ وَ لاَ يَخْشَى، وَ لَكِنْ لِيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ أَحْرَصَ لِمُوسَى (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) عَلَى الذَّهَابِ».

99-/7011 — The Shaykh in (al-Tahdhīb), with his chain, from Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya, from Harun ibn Muslim, from Mas‘adah ibn Sadaqah, who said: A shaykh from the descendants of ‘Adiyy ibn Hatim narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather ‘Adiyy ibn Hatim, who was with ‘Ali (peace be upon him) in his wars, that ‘Ali (peace be upon him) said on the day he and Mu‘awiyah met at Siffin, and he raised his voice so his companions could hear: “By Allah, I will surely kill Mu‘awiyah and his companions.” Then at the end of his words he said, “If Allah, the Exalted, wills,” lowering his voice with it, and I was near him. So I said: O Commander of the Faithful, you swore to what you said and then made an exception—what did you intend by that? He said: “War is deception, and with the believers I am not a liar. I wished to incite my companions against them, so that they would not falter and so they would aspire to overcome them. Understand this, for you will benefit from it after today, if Allah wills. And know that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said to Moses (peace be upon him) when He sent him to Pharaoh: ‘Then speak to him a gentle word; perhaps he will be mindful or fear,’ and yet He knew that he would neither be mindful nor fear; but that was in order to make Moses (peace be upon him) more eager to go.”

وَرَوَاهُ الْكُلَيْنِيُّ: عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ، وَ فِيهِ بَعْضُ التَّغْيِيرِ

And al-Kulaynī also narrated it: from ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm, from Hārūn ibn Muslim, and he carried the hadith to its end, with some variation therein.
