Hud Ayah 18-21

99-/5063 _23- ابْنُ الْمَغَازِلِيِّ الشَّافِعِيُّ: يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) يَقُولُ: «مَا نَزَلَتْ آيَةٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ إِلاَّ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ مَتَى أُنْزِلَتْ وَ فِيمَنْ أُنْزِلَتْ، وَ مَا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ رَجُلٌ إِلاَّ وَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ آيَةٌ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ، تَسُوقُهُ إِلَى جَنَّةٍ أَوْ نَارٍ». فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، فَمَا نَزَلَ فِيكَ؟ قَالَ: «لَوْ لاَ أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَنِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ لَمَّا حَدَّثْتُكَ، أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ: أَ فَمَنْ كٰانَ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَ يَتْلُوهُ شٰاهِدٌ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ، وَ أَنَا الشَّاهِدُ مِنْهُ».

Translation: Ibn al-Maghāzilī al-Shāfi‘ī: He raises it to ‘Abbād b. ‘Abd Allāh, who said: I heard ‘Alī (peace be upon him) say: “No verse has been revealed from the Book of God, Mighty and Majestic, except that I know when it was revealed and about whom it was revealed; and there is not a man from Quraysh except that a verse from the Book of God, Mighty and Majestic, was revealed about him, leading him either to Paradise or to Fire.” A man stood up and said: O Commander of the Faithful, then what was revealed about you? He said: “Had you not asked me before witnesses, I would not have told you. Do you not recite: ‘Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him follows him?’ The Messenger of God (God bless him and his family) has with him a clear proof from his Lord, and I am the witness from him.”

Qur’an (Hūd 11:17): أَ فَمَنْ كٰانَ عَلىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَ يَتْلُوهُ شٰاهِدٌ مِنْهُ

M. H. Shakir: Is he then who has with him clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him follows him?

وَ مِنْ(كِتَابِ الْحِبَرِيِّ)مِثْلُهُ [1]، وَ مِنْ(رُمُوزِ الْكُنُوزِ) لِلرَّسْعَنِيِّ مِثْلُهُ [2].

Translation: And in (Kitāb al-Hibrī) something similar [1], and in (Rumūz al-Kunūz) by al-Ras‘anī, something similar [2].

99-/5064 _24- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)- فِي خُطْبَةٍ لَهُ- قَالَ: «وَ قَالَ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ: مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطٰاعَ اللّٰهَ وَ مَنْ تَوَلّٰى فَمٰا أَرْسَلْنٰاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً [3] فَقَرَنَ طَاعَتَهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ، وَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ، فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ دَلِيلاً عَلَى مَا فَوَّضَ إِلَيْهِ، وَ شَاهِداً لَهُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ عَصَاهُ. وَ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْعَظِيمِ، فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى، فِي التَّحْرِيضِ عَلَى اتِّبَاعِهِ، وَ التَّرْغِيبِ فِي تَصْدِيقِهِ وَ الْقَبُولِ لِدَعْوَتِهِ: قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ [4] فَاتِّبَاعُهُ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) مَحَبَّةُ اللَّهِ، وَ رِضَاهُ غُفْرَانُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ كَمَالُ الْفَوْزِ وَ وُجُوبُ الْجَنَّةِ، وَ فِي التَّوَلِّي عَنْهُ وَ الْإِعْرَاضِ مُحَادَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ غَضَبُهُ وَ سَخَطُهُ. وَ الْبُعْدُ مِنْهُ سَكَنُ النَّارِ، وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَ مَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَحْزٰابِ فَالنّٰارُ مَوْعِدُهُ يَعْنِي الْجُحُودَ بِهِ وَ الْعِصْيَانَ لَهُ».

Translation: Muḥammad b. Ya‘qūb, with his chain from Jābir b. Yazīd, from Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him), from the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him)—in a sermon of his—said: “He said in the decisive part of His Book: ‘Whoever obeys the Messenger indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back—We have not sent you as a keeper over them’ [3]. So He paired obedience to him with obedience to Himself, and disobedience to him with disobedience to Himself. That was proof of what was delegated to him and a testimony for him over whoever followed him and disobeyed him. And He clarified that in more than one place in the Mighty Book. Exalted is He, He said, urging people to follow him and encouraging belief in him and acceptance of his call: ‘Say: If you love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins’ [4]. So following him (God bless him and his family) is God’s love, and His good pleasure is the forgiveness of sins, the perfection of success, and the obligation of the Garden; while turning away from him and rejecting him is opposing God, and [incurs] His anger and wrath. And distance from him is dwelling in the Fire, and that is His saying, exalted is He: ‘And whoever of the parties disbelieves in him—the Fire is his promised place,’ meaning denial of him and disobedience to him.”

Qur’an (al-Nisā’ 4:80): مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطٰاعَ اللّٰهَ وَ مَنْ تَوَلّٰى فَمٰا أَرْسَلْنٰاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً

M. H. Shakir: Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.

Qur’an (Āl ‘Imrān 3:31): قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ

M. H. Shakir: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults.

Qur’an (Hūd 11:17): وَ مَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَحْزٰابِ فَالنّٰارُ مَوْعِدُهُ

M. H. Shakir: and whoever of the parties disbelieves in it, the Fire is his promised place.

وَ قَدْ مَضَى حَدِيثٌ فِي مَعْنَى الْآيَةِ، عَنِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: فَلَعَلَّكَ تٰارِكٌ بَعْضَ مٰا يُوحىٰ إِلَيْكَ الْآيَةَ فَلْيُطْلَبْ هُنَاكَ [5].

Translation: And a ḥadīth has already passed on the meaning of the verse, from al-‘Ayyāshī, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him), regarding His saying, exalted is He: “Then maybe you will give up part of what is revealed to you” — let it be sought there [5].

Qur’an (Hūd 11:12): فَلَعَلَّكَ تٰارِكٌ بَعْضَ مٰا يُوحىٰ إِلَيْكَ

M. H. Shakir: Then maybe you will give up part of what is revealed to you.

قوله تعالى:

وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً أُولٰئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ [18]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He:

Qur’an (Hūd 11:18): وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً أُولٰئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ

M. H. Shakir: And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah? These shall be brought before their Lord.

99-/5065 _1- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) عَنْ قَوْلِهِ:

Translation: Al-‘Ayyāshī: From Abū ‘Ubaydah, who said: I asked Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him) about His saying:

وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً أُولٰئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: يَبْغُونَهٰا عِوَجاً [1].

Translation: “And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah? These shall be brought before their Lord … up to His saying: ‘seeking to make it crooked’ [1].”

Qur’an (Hūd 11:18–19): وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً أُولٰئِكَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ … اَلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ وَ يَبْغُونَهٰا عِوَجاً

قَالَ: «أَيْ يَطْلُبُونَ لِسَبِيلِ اللَّهِ زَيْغاً عَنِ الاِسْتِقَامَةِ، يُحَرِّفُونَهَا بِالتَّأْوِيلِ وَ يَصِفُونَهَا بِالاِنْحِرَافِ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ الصَّوَابِ».

Translation: He said: “That is, they seek for the path of God deviation away from straightness; they distort it by (false) interpretation and describe it as deviating from truth and correctness.”

99-/5066 _1- وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) فِي خَبَرٍ: «أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَرَضَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ خَمْسَةً، فَأَخَذُوا أَرْبَعَةً وَ تَرَكُوا وَاحِداً، فَسَأَلُوا عَنِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ، قَالَ: اَلصَّلاَةُ وَ الزَّكَاةُ وَ الْحَجُّ وَ الصَّوْمُ». قَالُوا: فَمَا الْوَاحِدُ الَّذِي تَرَكُوا؟ قَالَ: «وَلاَيَةُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ». قَالُوا: هِيَ وَاجِبَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ، قَالَ اللَّهُ: وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً » الْآيَاتِ.

Translation: And from the Prophet (God bless him and his family) in a report: “Indeed God, exalted is He, has made five things obligatory upon the creation; they took four and left one. They asked about the four; he said: Prayer, alms, pilgrimage, and fasting.” They said: So what is the one they left? He said: “The walāyah of ‘Alī b. Abī Ṭālib.” They said: Is it obligatory from God, exalted is He? He said: “Yes. God said: ‘And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah…’” the verses.

Qur’an (Hūd 11:18–20): وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرىٰ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِباً … أُولٰئِكَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا مُعْجِزِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ … يُصَدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ

M. H. Shakir: And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah? These shall be brought before their Lord, and the witnesses shall say: These are they who lied against their Lord. Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust, who turn away from the way of Allah and desire to make it crooked; and they are disbelievers in the hereafter. These shall not escape in the earth, nor shall they have any guardians besides Allah; the punishment shall be doubled for them. They could not bear to hear, and they did not see.

قوله تعالى:

وَ يَقُولُ الْأَشْهٰادُ هٰؤُلاٰءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ -إلى قوله تعالى- أُولٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مٰا كٰانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ [18-21]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He:

Qur’an (Hūd 11:18–21): … وَ يَقُولُ الْأَشْهٰادُ هٰؤُلاٰءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ … أُولٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مٰا كٰانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

M. H. Shakir: … and the witnesses shall say: These are they who lied against their Lord. Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust, who turn away from the way of Allah and desire to make it crooked; and they are disbelievers in the hereafter. These shall not escape in the earth, nor shall they have any guardians besides Allah; the punishment shall be doubled for them. They could not bear to hear, and they did not see. These are they who have lost their souls, and what they forged has gone away from them.

99-/5067 _2- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَ يَقُولُ الْأَشْهٰادُ .

قَالَ: «هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ): هٰؤُلاٰءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ».

Translation: Al-‘Ayyāshī: From Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him) regarding His saying, exalted is He: “And the witnesses shall say.” He said: “They are the Imāms (peace be upon them): ‘These are they who lied against their Lord.’”

/5068 _3- علي بن إبراهيم، في معنى الآية: يعني بالأشهاد الأئمة(عليهم السلام)، أَلاٰ لَعْنَةُ اللّٰهِ عَلَى الظّٰالِمِينَ لآل محمد(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله) حقهم. ثم قال: و قوله: اَلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ وَ يَبْغُونَهٰا عِوَجاً يعني يصدون عن طريق اللّه، و هي الإمامة وَ يَبْغُونَهٰا عِوَجاً يعني حرفوها إلى غيرها. ثم قال: و قوله: مٰا كٰانُوا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ السَّمْعَ قال: ما قدروا أن يسمعوا بذكر أمير المؤمنين(عليه السلام). ثم قال: و قوله: أُولٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ضَلَّ أي بطل عَنْهُمْ مٰا كٰانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ يعني يوم القيامة، بطل الذي يدعونه غير أمير المؤمنين(عليه السلام).

Translation: ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm, on the meaning of the verse: He means by “the witnesses” the Imāms (peace be upon them). “Now surely the curse of Allah is on the unjust”—those who wrong the family of Muḥammad (God bless him and his family) in their right. Then he said: And His saying: “Those who turn away from the way of Allah and desire to make it crooked” means they turn away from the path of God—and it is the Imāmate—“and desire to make it crooked,” meaning they diverted it to other than its [rightful place]. Then he said: And His saying: “They could not bear to hear” means: they could not bear to hear the mention of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him). Then he said: And His saying: “These are they who have lost their souls, and what they forged has gone away from them,” that is, on the Day of Resurrection, what they claimed besides the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) is null and gone.

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ أَخْبَتُوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ [23]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He:

Qur’an (Hūd 11:23): إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ أَخْبَتُوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ

M. H. Shakir: Surely (as for) those who believe and do good and humble themselves to their Lord, these are the dwellers of the garden, in it they will abide.

99-/5069 _1- علي بن إبراهيم قال: و قوله تعالى: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ أَخْبَتُوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ أي تواضعوا لله و عبدوه.

Translation: ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm said: And His saying, exalted is He: “Surely those who believe and do good and humble themselves to their Lord”—that is, they showed humility to God and worshipped Him.

99-/5070 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا رَجُلاً يُقَالُ لَهُ: كُلَيْبٌ، فَلاَ يَجِيءُ عَنْكُمْ شَيْءٌ إِلاَّ قَالَ: أَنَا أُسَلِّمُ، فَسَمَّيْنَاهُ: كُلَيْبَ تَسْلِيمٍ؟ قَالَ: فَتَرَحَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا التَّسْلِيمُ؟» فَسَكَتْنَا، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ الْإِخْبَاتُ، قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ أَخْبَتُوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ».

Translation: Muḥammad b. Ya‘qūb: From Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā, from Aḥmad b. Muḥammad, from al-Ḥusayn b. Sa‘īd, from Ḥammād b. ‘Īsā, from al-Ḥusayn b. al-Mukhtār, from Zayd al-Shahhām, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: I said to him: We have a man named Kulayb. Nothing comes from you except that he says: “I submit,” so we named him “Kulayb of Submission.” He sought mercy for him, then said: “Do you know what submission is?” We fell silent, so he said: “By God, it is al-ikhbāt (humble devotion), God’s saying, Mighty and Majestic: ‘Those who believe and do good and humble themselves to their Lord.’”

99-/5071 _3- سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا رَجُلاً يُسَمَّى كُلَيْباً، فَلاَ يَخْرُجُ عَنْكُمْ حَدِيثٌ وَ لاَ شَيْءٌ إِلاَّ قَالَ: أَنَا أُسَلِّمُ، فَسَمَّيْنَاهُ: كُلَيْبَ تَسْلِيمٍ؟ قَالَ: فَتَرَحَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، وَ قَالَ: «أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا التَّسْلِيمُ؟» فَسَكَتْنَا، فَقَالَ: «هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ الْإِخْبَاتُ، قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ أَخْبَتُوا إِلىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ».

قوله تعالى:

مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالْأَعْمىٰ وَ الْأَصَمِّ وَ الْبَصِيرِ وَ السَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيٰانِ
