Al-Baqarah, verse 251

99-/1371 _22- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «كَانَ الْمَلِكُ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ هُوَ الَّذِي يَسِيرُ بِالجُنُودِ،وَ النَّبِيُّ يُقِيمُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَ يُنْبِئُهُ بِالْخَبَرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِ».

99-/1371 _22- And from him, he said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: “In that time, it was the king who led the armies, while the prophet set his affairs in order for him and informed him of the news from his Lord.”

99-/1372 _23- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ: قِيلَ:إِنَّ السَّكِينَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ فِيهِ رِيحٌ هَفَّافَةٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ،لَهَا وَجْهٌ كَوَجْهِ الْإِنْسَانِ. عَنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ).

99-/1372 _23- And from him, he said: It was said: “The sakīnah that was in it was a gentle breeze from Paradise, having a face like the face of a human.” From ‘Ali (peace be upon him).

قوله تعالى:

وَ لَوْ لاٰ دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النّٰاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ [2:251]

And were it not for Allah’s repelling some people by means of others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures. (M. H. Shakir)

99-/1373 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،عَنْ جَمِيلٍ،قَالَ:قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):

«إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الصَّلاَةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُزَكِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُزَكِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الزَّكَاةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يَحُجُّ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يَحُجُّ [1]،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الْحَجِّ لَهَلَكُوا؛وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ لَوْ لاٰ دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النّٰاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ ».

99-/1373 _1- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: My father narrated to me, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Jamil, who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who pray from our Shia, harm from those of our Shia who do not pray; and if they were all to agree to abandon the prayer, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who give zakat from our Shia, harm from those of our Shia who do not give zakat; and if they were all to agree to abandon zakat, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who perform Hajj from our Shia, harm from those who do not perform Hajj; and if they were all to agree to abandon Hajj, they would perish; and this is the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: ‘And were it not for Allah’s repelling some people by means of others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures.’”

99-/1374 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ،عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الصَّلاَةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُزَكِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُزَكِّي،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الزَّكَاةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يَحُجُّ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يَحُجُّ،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الْحَجِّ لَهَلَكُوا؛وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ لَوْ لاٰ دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النّٰاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ ،فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَتْ إِلاَّ فِيكُمْ،وَ لاَ عَنَى بِهَا غَيْرَكُمْ».

99-/1374 _2- Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub: from ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from ‘Ali ibn Ma‘bad, from ‘Abdullah ibn al-Qasim, from Yunus ibn Zabyān, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “Indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who pray from our Shia, harm from those of our Shia who do not pray; and if they were all to agree to abandon the prayer, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who give zakat from our Shia, harm from those who do not give it; and if they were all to agree to abandon zakat, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who perform Hajj from our Shia, harm from those who do not perform it; and if they were all to agree to abandon Hajj, they would perish; and this is the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: ‘And were it not for Allah’s repelling some people by means of others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures.’ By Allah, it was not revealed except about you, and He did not mean by it anyone other than you.”

99-/1375 _3- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الصَّلاَةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يَصُومُ مِنْهُمْ عَمَّنْ لاَ

99-/1375 _3- Al-‘Ayyāshī: from Yunus ibn Zabyān, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “Indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who pray from our Shia, harm from those of our Shia who do not pray; and if they were all to agree to abandon the prayer, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those among them who fast, harm from those of our Shia who do not—

يَصُومُ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الصِّيَامِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يُزَكِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يُزَكِّي [1]،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الزَّكَاةِ لَهَلَكُوا.وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَدْفَعُ بِمَنْ يَحُجُّ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا عَمَّنْ لاَ يَحُجُّ مِنْهُمْ،وَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى تَرْكِ الْحَجِّ لَهَلَكُوا؛وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: وَ لَوْ لاٰ دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النّٰاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ ،فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَتْ إِلاَّ فِيكُمْ،وَ لاَ عَنَى بِهَا غَيْرَكُمْ».

—fast from our Shia; and if they were all to agree to abandon the fast, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who give zakat from our Shia, harm from those who do not give it; and if they were all to agree to abandon zakat, they would perish. And indeed, Allah repels, by means of those who perform Hajj from our Shia, harm from those among them who do not perform it; and if they were all to agree to abandon Hajj, they would perish; and this is the saying of Allah, Most High: ‘And were it not for Allah’s repelling some people by means of others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures.’ By Allah, it was not revealed except about you, and He did not mean by it anyone other than you.”

99-/1376 _4- الزَّمَخْشَرِيُّ فِي(رَبِيعِ الْأَبْرَارِ):عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،قَالَ:سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَدْفَعُ بِالْمُسْلِمِ الصَّالِحِ نَحْوَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ الْبَلاَءَ»ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: وَ لَوْ لاٰ دَفْعُ اللّٰهِ النّٰاسَ الْآيَةَ.

99-/1376 _4- Al-Zamakhsharī in (Rabī‘ al-Abrār): from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) say: “Indeed, Allah repels affliction from about one hundred thousand households of a man’s neighbors by means of the righteous Muslim,” then he recited: “And were it not for Allah’s repelling some people...” the verse.

قوله تعالى:

تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنٰا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلىٰ بَعْضٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَلَّمَ اللّٰهُ وَ رَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ دَرَجٰاتٍ -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَفْعَلُ مٰا يُرِيدُ [2:253]

These apostles, We have made some of them to excel others; among them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He exalted by degrees; and We gave clear arguments to Isa the son of Maryam, and strengthened him with the holy spirit; and if Allah had pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased they would not have fought one with another, but Allah does what He pleases. (M. H. Shakir)

99-/1377 _1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،رَفَعَهُ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْغَنَوِيِّ،عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ،قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فَقَالَ:يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ أُنَاساً زَعَمُوا أَنَّ الْعَبْدَ لاَ يَزْنِي وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ،وَ لاَ يَسْرِقُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ،وَ لاَ يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ،وَ لاَ يَأْكُلُ الرِّبَا وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ،وَ لاَ يَسْفِكُ الدَّمَ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ.فَقَدْ ثَقُلَ عَلَيَّ هَذَا،وَ حَرِجَ مِنْهُ صَدْرِي حِينَ أَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْعَبْدَ يُصَلِّي صَلاَتِي،وَ يَدْعُو دُعَائِي،وَ يُنَاكِحُنِي وَ أُنَاكِحُهُ،وَ يُوَارِثُنِي وَ أُوَارِثُهُ،وَ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ لِأَجْلِ ذَنْبٍ يَسِيرٍ أَصَابَهُ.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«صَدَقْتَ،سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)يَقُولُهُ،وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَيْهِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ:خَلَقَ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ عَلَى ثَلاَثِ طَبَقَاتٍ،وَ أَنْزَلَهُمْ ثَلاَثَ مَنَازِلَ؛وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَأَصْحٰابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مٰا أَصْحٰابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ* وَ أَصْحٰابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ مٰا أَصْحٰابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ* وَ السّٰابِقُونَ السّٰابِقُونَ [2].فَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرَ مِنْ أَمْرِ السَّابِقِينَ،فَإِنَّهُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مُرْسَلُونَ وَ غَيْرُ مُرْسَلِينَ،جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ:رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ،وَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ،وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ،وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ،وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ،فَبِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ بُعِثُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ غَيْرَ مُرْسَلِينَ،وَ بِهَا عَلِمُوا الْأَشْيَاءَ،وَ بِرُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ عَبَدُوا اللَّهَ،وَ لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً،وَ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ جَاهَدُوا عَدُوَّهُمْ،وَ عَالَجُوا مَعَاشَهُمْ،وَ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ أَصَابُوا لَذِيذَ الطَّعَامِ،وَ نَكَحُوا الْحَلاَلَ مِنْ شَبَابِ النِّسَاءِ،وَ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ دَبُّوا وَ دَرَجُوا فِيهَا،فَهَؤُلاَءِ مَغْفُورٌ لَهُمْ، مَصْفُوحٌ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ».

99-/1377 _1- Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub: from a number of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid, from his father, raising (the chain), from Muhammad ibn Dawud al-Ghanawī, from al-Asbagh ibn Nubātah, who said: A man came to the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) and said: “O Commander of the Faithful, some people claim that a servant does not commit fornication while he is a believer, nor steal while he is a believer, nor drink wine while he is a believer, nor consume usury while he is a believer, nor shed unlawful blood while he is a believer. This has weighed heavily upon me, and it constricted my chest when I suppose that a servant prays my prayer, and supplicates my supplication, and inter-marries with me and I with him, and inherits from me and I inherit from him, yet he has left faith on account of a small sin he committed.”

So the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said: “You have spoken the truth. I heard the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) say it, and the proof of it is in the Book of Allah, Majestic and Mighty: Allah created people upon three ranks, and He placed them in three stations; and that is the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: ‘Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand! And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand! And the foremost are the foremost’ [al-Waqi‘ah 56:8–10]. As for what He mentioned concerning the foremost, they are prophets—sent and unsent. Allah placed within them five spirits: the Holy Spirit (ruh al-qudus), the spirit of faith, the spirit of power, the spirit of desire, and the spirit of the body. By the Holy Spirit they were sent as prophets—sent and unsent—and by it they knew things; by the spirit of faith they worshiped Allah and did not associate anything with Him; by the spirit of power they strove against His enemy and managed their livelihoods; by the spirit of desire they enjoyed delicious food and married the lawful among the youthful women; and by the spirit of the body they moved and walked upon the earth. These are those forgiven, and their sins are overlooked.”
