Al-Isra Ayah 41-43

الإسراء آيه 43-41

Al-Isra (The Night Journey), verses 41–43

وَ اقْصِدْ فِي مَشْيِكَ وَ اغْضُضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ إِنَّ أَنْكَرَ الْأَصْوٰاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْحَمِيرِ [1]

And pursue the right course in your going about and lower your voice; surely the most hateful of voices is the braying of the asses. (Luqman 31:19, M. H. Shakir)

6382 _3- و قال عليّ بن إبراهيم:قوله: ذٰلِكَ مِمّٰا أَوْحىٰ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ يعني القرآن و ما فيه من الأنباء [2]،ثمّ قال: وَ لاٰ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللّٰهِ إِلٰهاً آخَرَ فَتُلْقىٰ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَلُوماً مَدْحُوراً فالمخاطبة للنبي و المعنى للناس.

قال:و قوله: أَ فَأَصْفٰاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِينَ وَ اتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلاٰئِكَةِ إِنٰاثاً و هو ردّ على قريش فيما قالوا:إن الملائكة هن بنات اللّه.

99-/6382 _3- Ali ibn Ibrahim said: His saying, That is of what your Lord has revealed to you of the wisdom, means the Quran and what is in it of the reports [2]. Then He said: And do not associate with Allah another god, for you will then sit down despised, forsaken in hell. The direct address is to the Prophet, but the meaning applies to the people. He said: And His saying, Has then your Lord preferred you for sons, and (He Himself) taken daughters from among the angels? is a refutation of Quraysh for what they said, “The angels are the daughters of Allah.”

وَ لَقَدْ صَرَّفْنٰا فِي هٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا وَ مٰا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلاّٰ نُفُوراً. قُلْ لَوْ كٰانَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةٌ كَمٰا يَقُولُونَ إِذاً لاَبْتَغَوْا إِلىٰ ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيلاً. سُبْحٰانَهُ وَ تَعٰالىٰ عَمّٰا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيراً [41-43]

And certainly We have explained in this Quran that they may be mindful, and it adds not to them except aversion. Say: If there had been with Him other gods as they say, then certainly they would have sought a way to the Lord of the Throne. Glory be to Him, and exalted be He in high exaltation above what they say. (Al-Isra 17:41–43, M. H. Shakir)

6383 _4- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): وَ لَقَدْ صَرَّفْنٰا فِي هٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا :«يَعْنِي وَ لَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَا عَلِيّاً(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَ هُوَ الذِّكْرُ فَمَا زَادَهُمْ إِلاَّ نُفُوراً».

99-/6383 _4- Al-‘Ayyashi: from ‘Ali b. Abi Hamzah, from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), regarding And certainly We have explained in this Quran that they may be mindful: “It means: We have indeed mentioned ‘Ali (peace be upon him) in the Quran, and he is the Reminder; yet it increased them only in aversion.”

6384 _5- قال عليّ بن إبراهيم:قوله: وَ مٰا يَزِيدُهُمْ إِلاّٰ نُفُوراً قال:إذا سمعوا القرآن،ينفرون عنه و يكذبونه، ثم احتج عزّ و جلّ على الكفّار الذين يعبدون الأوثان،فقال: قُلْ لهم يا محمد لَوْ كٰانَ مَعَهُ آلِهَةٌ كَمٰا يَقُولُونَ إِذاً لاَبْتَغَوْا إِلىٰ ذِي الْعَرْشِ سَبِيلاً قال:لو كانت الأصنام آلهة كما يزعمون لصعدوا إلى العرش،ثم قال اللّه لذلك: سُبْحٰانَهُ وَ تَعٰالىٰ عَمّٰا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيراً .

99-/6384 _5- Ali ibn Ibrahim said about His saying, And it adds not to them except aversion: When they hear the Quran, they turn away from it and deny it. Then the Mighty and Majestic argued against the unbelievers who worship idols, saying: Say to them, O Muhammad, If there had been with Him other gods as they say, then certainly they would have sought a way to the Lord of the Throne. He said: If the idols were gods as they claim, they would have ascended to the Throne. Then Allah, regarding that, said: Glory be to Him, and exalted be He in high exaltation above what they say.

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمٰاوٰاتُ السَّبْعُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَ إِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاّٰ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ لٰكِنْ لاٰ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ إِنَّهُ كٰانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً [44]

The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them declare His glory, and there is not a single thing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification; surely He is Forbearing, Forgiving. (Al-Isra 17:44, M. H. Shakir)

6385 _6- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا،عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ،عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ،

99-/6385 _6- Muhammad b. Ya‘qub: from a number of our companions, from Sahl b. Ziyad, from ‘Ali b. Asbat, from Dawud al-Raqqi, …
