Hud Ayah 103

هود آيه 103

بالصَّبْرِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ الْفَرَجُ عَلَى الْيَأْسِ، فَقَدْ كَانَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ أَصْبَرَ مِنْكُمْ.

- Be patient, for surely relief only comes at the point of despair; indeed, those before you were more patient than you.

99-/5166 _5- وَ عَنْهُ: عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الوَرَّاقِ، وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ السِّنَانِيِّ، وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ(رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ)، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْقَطَّانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا تَمِيمُ بْنُ بُهْلُولٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْهَاشِمِيِّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَقَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ مَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَ إِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ [1].

فَقَالَ: «إِذَا فَعَلَ الْعَبْدُ مَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ، كَانَ فِعْلُهُ وِفْقًا لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ، وَ سُمِّيَ الْعَبْدُ بِهِ مُوَفَّقًا، وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْعَبْدُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ مَعَاصِي اللَّهِ، فَحَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ فَتَرَكَهَا، كَانَ تَرْكُهُ لَهَا بِتَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ، وَ مَتَى خَلَّى بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ تِلْكَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ فَلَمْ يَحُلْ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهَا حَتَّى يَرْتَكِبَهَا [2]، فَقَدْ خَذَلَهُ وَ لَمْ يَنْصُرْهُ وَ لَمْ يُوَفِّقْهُ».

- And from him: from ‘Ali b. ‘Abd Allah al-Warraq, and Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Sinani, and ‘Ali b. Ahmad b. Muhammad (may Allah be pleased with them), who said: Abu al-‘Abbas Ahmad b. Yahya b. Zakariyya al-Qattan narrated to us, who said: Bakr b. ‘Abd Allah b. Habib narrated to us, who said: Tamim b. Buhlul narrated to us, from his father, from Ja‘far b. Sulayman al-Basri, from ‘Abd Allah b. al-Fadl al-Hashimi, who said: I asked Abu ‘Abd Allah Ja‘far b. Muhammad (peace be upon him). I said: Regarding His saying, Mighty and Majestic: “And my success is not but with Allah,” and His saying, Mighty and Majestic: “If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; but if He forsakes you, who is there then that can help you after Him?” [1].

He said: “When a servant does what Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has commanded of obedience, his action accords with the command of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and by it the servant is called ‘granted success’ (muwafaq). And when the servant intends to enter into something of Allah’s disobedience, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, interposes between him and that sin so he leaves it, then his leaving it is by the success (tawfiq) of Allah, Exalted is His remembrance. But whenever He leaves him to that sin and does not interpose between him and it until he commits it [2], then He has forsaken him, not helped him, and not granted him success.”

/5167 _6- وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قِصَّةَ مُوسَى(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): فَقَالَ: وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِآيَاتِنَا وَ سُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ إلى قوله تعالى وَ أُتْبِعُوا فِي هَذِهِ لَعْنَةً يعني الهلاك و الغرق وَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِئْسَ الرِّفْدُ الْمَرْفُودُ أي يرفدهم اللّه بالعذاب. ثم قال لنبيه(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله): ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَاءِ الْقُرَىٰ أي أخبارها نَقُصُّهُ عَلَيْكَ يا محمد مِنْهَا قَائِمٌ وَ حَصِيدٌ إلى قوله: وَ مَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ أي غير تخسير.

- And ‘Ali b. Ibrahim said: Then the Mighty and Majestic mentioned the story of Moses (peace be upon him), saying: “And certainly We sent Moses with Our signs and a clear authority,” up to His saying: “And they were followed in this world by a curse”—meaning destruction and drowning—“and on the Day of Resurrection; evil is the gift which shall be given.” That is, Allah supplies them with punishment. Then He said to His Prophet (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family): “That is of the tidings of the towns”—that is, their reports—“We relate it to you, O Muhammad: among them are standing and reaped,” up to His saying: “And they did not increase them in aught but loss,” meaning nothing but impoverishment.

99-/5168 _7- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): قَرَأَ «فَمِنْهَا قَائِمًا وَ حَصِيدًا» بِالنَّصْبِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ، لَا يَكُونُ حَصِيدًا إِلَّا بِالْحَدِيدِ». وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى: «فَمِنْهَا قَائِمٌ وَ حَصِيدٌ. أَيَكُونُ الْحَصِيدُ إِلَّا بِالْحَدِيدِ» [3].

- Al-‘Ayyashi: from Abu Basir, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him): He recited “fa-minhā qā’iman wa ḥaṣīdan” with the accusatives, then said: “O Abu Muhammad, it is not ‘reaped’ except by iron (i.e., by the sword).” And in another narration: “fa-minhā qā’imun wa ḥaṣīdun. Is the reaping accomplished by anything other than iron?”

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِمَنْ خَافَ عَذَابَ الْآخِرَةِ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ [103]

- Surely in that there is a sign for him who fears the chastisement of the hereafter; that is a day for which people shall be gathered together and that is a day which shall be witnessed. (Qur’an, Hud 11:103, M. H. Shakir)

99-/5169 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ: أَي يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ الرُّسُلُ.

- ‘Ali b. Ibrahim: That is, the prophets and the messengers will bear witness against them.

99-/5170 _2- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ رِجَالِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ.

قَالَ: «الْمَشْهُودُ: يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَ الْمَجْمُوعُ لَهُ النَّاسُ: يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ».

- Ibn Babawayh said: My father narrated to us, who said: Ahmad b. Idris narrated to us, from Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Yahya and Muhammad b. ‘Ali b. Mahbub, from Muhammad b. ‘Isa b. ‘Ubayd, from Safwan b. Yahya, from Isma‘il b. Jabir, from his men, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: “That is a day for which people shall be gathered together and that is a day which shall be witnessed.” He said: “The ‘witnessed’ is the Day of ‘Arafah, and the day for which people are gathered is the Day of Resurrection.”

99-/5171 _3- وَ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ، عَمَّنْ رَوَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ) قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ الْأَبْرَشُ الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ شَاهِدٍ وَ مَشْهُودٍ [1].

فَقَالَ: أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): «وَ مَا قِيلَ لَكَ؟» فَقَالَ: قَالُوا: الشَّاهِدُ: يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَ الْمَشْهُودُ: يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ. فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): لَيْسَ كَمَا قِيلَ لَكَ، الشَّاهِدُ: يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَ الْمَشْهُودُ: يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ، أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ؟ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ».

- And from him: Muhammad b. al-Hasan narrated to us, who said: al-Husayn b. al-Hasan b. Aban narrated to us, from al-Husayn b. Sa‘id, from al-Nadr b. Suwayd, from Muhammad b. Hashim, from someone who narrated from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him): al-Abrash al-Kalbi asked him about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: “By the Witness and the Witnessed” [1]. Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said: “And what was said to you?” He replied: “They said: the ‘Witness’ is Friday, and the ‘Witnessed’ is the Day of ‘Arafah.” Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said: “It is not as was said to you. The ‘Witness’ is the Day of ‘Arafah, and the ‘Witnessed’ is the Day of Resurrection. Do you not read the Qur’an? Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: ‘That is a day for which people shall be gathered together and that is a day which shall be witnessed.’”

99-/5172 _4- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ)، قَالَ: فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ.

قَالَ: «فَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الْمَوْعُودُ».

- Al-‘Ayyashi: from Muhammad b. Muslim, from one of the two (peace be upon them), who said regarding the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: “That is a day for which people shall be gathered together and that is a day which shall be witnessed”: “That is the Day of Resurrection, and it is the Promised Day.”

قوله تعالى:

يَوْمَ يَأْتِ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ شَقِيٌّ وَ سَعِيدٌ* فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ شَقُوا فَفِي النَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَ شَهِيقٌ* خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِمَا يُرِيدُ* وَ أَمَّا الَّذِينَ سُعِدُوا فَفِي الْجَنَّةِ -إلى قوله تعالى- غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ [105-108]

- On the day when it shall come, no soul shall speak except with His permission, then (some) of them shall be unhappy and (others) happy. So as to those who are unhappy, they shall be in the Fire; for them shall be sighing and groaning in it, Abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; surely your Lord is the mighty Doer of what He intends. And as to those who are made happy, they shall be in the garden, abiding therein so long as the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord please; a gift which shall never be cut off. (Qur’an, Hud 11:105–108, M. H. Shakir)

99-/5173 _1- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَهْوَازِيُّ، فِي كِتَابِ (الزُّهْدِ): عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ دُرُسْتَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ): إِنَّهُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى جَهَنَّمَ حَتَّى تَصْفِقَ أَبْوَابُهَا. فَقَالَ: «لَا».

- Al-Husayn b. Sa‘id al-Ahwazi, in his Book (al-Zuhd): from al-Nadr b. Suwayd, from Durust, from Abu Ja‘far al-Ahwal, from Humran, who said: I said to Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him): “It has reached us that a time will come upon Hell until its doors clap shut.” He said: “No.”
