Taha Ayah 55

وَ كَمَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فِيمَا يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ،فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ غَيْرِهِمْ،فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي ذَكَرَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي الْكِتَابِ إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ الَّذِي انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا عِلْمُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ،فَصَبَرْنَا لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ،فَنَحْنُ قُوَّامُ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ،وَ خُزَّانُهُ عَلَى دِينِهِ،نَخْزَنُهُ وَ نَسْتُرُهُ،وَ نَكْتُمُ بِهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا،كَمَا كَتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)حَتَّى أَذِنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ،وَ جَاهَدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ،فَنَحْنُ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لَنَا فِي إِظْهَارِ دِينِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ،وَ نَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَيْهِ،فَنَضْرِبُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ عَوْداً،كَمَا ضَرَبَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)بَدْءاً».

And as has reached us from ‘Ali (peace be upon him) regarding what would occur of kingship after him among the Banu Umayyah and others: this is the verse which Allah, the Exalted, mentioned in the Book, “Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding,” knowledge of all of which has reached us. So we were patient with the command of Allah. We are Allah’s stewards over His creation and the treasurers of His religion. We preserve it and conceal it, and we hide it from our enemy, just as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) concealed [his matter] until Allah permitted him to emigrate and to strive against the polytheists. Thus we are upon the method of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) until Allah permits us to manifest His religion by the sword and to call the people to it; then we will strike them for it in return, just as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) struck them at the beginning.

وَ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ:عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ،عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ،قَالَ:سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.

Muhammad b. al-‘Abbas narrated it: from Ahmad b. Idris, from ‘Abd Allah b. Muhammad b. ‘Isa, from al-Hasan b. Mahbub, from ‘Ali b. Ri’ab, from ‘Ammar b. Marwan, who said: I asked Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, “Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding,” and he narrated the hadith to its end.

وَ رَوَاهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُمِّيُّ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ،عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ قَالَ:«نَحْنُ-وَ اللَّهِ أُولِي النُّهَى»وَ سَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.

And Sa‘d b. ‘Abd Allah al-Qummi narrated it: from ‘Ali b. Isma‘il b. ‘Isa, from Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad b. Khalid al-Barqi, from al-Hasan b. Mahbub, from ‘Ali b. Ri’ab, from ‘Ammar b. Marwan, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, “Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding,” he said: “By Allah, we are those endowed with understanding,” and he narrated the hadith to its end.

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ

Quran 20:54

M. H. Shakir: Eat and pasture your cattle; most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.

99-/7016 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعَلَوِيِّ،عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ دَاوُدَ النَّجَّارِ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ .قَالَ:

«هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِثْلَهَا».

99-/7016 _2- Muhammad b. al-‘Abbas said: Muhammad b. Hammam narrated to us, from Muhammad b. Isma‘il al-‘Alawi, from ‘Isa b. Dawud al-Najjar, from Abu al-Hasan Musa b. Ja‘far (peace be upon him), regarding His, the Exalted’s, saying: “Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.” He said: “They are the Imams from the family of Muhammad (peace be upon them), and [likewise] whatever is like it in the Qur’an.”

99-/7017 _3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ؛وَ فَضَالَةَ،عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ: إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيٰاتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ ،قَالَ:«نَحْنُ أُولُوا النُّهَى».

99-/7017 _3- ‘Ali b. Ibrahim said: My father narrated to me, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Fadala, from Mu‘awiya b. ‘Ammar, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), regarding His saying: “Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding,” he said: “We are those endowed with understanding.”

قوله تعالى:

مِنْهٰا خَلَقْنٰاكُمْ وَ فِيهٰا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَ مِنْهٰا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تٰارَةً أُخْرىٰ [55]

Quran 20:55

M. H. Shakir: From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.

99-/7018 _1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «دَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ الْمَاصِرُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)- الْحَدِيثَ،وَ فِيهِ-إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ خَلاَّقِينَ،فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقاً أَمَرَهُمْ فَأَخَذُوا مِنَ التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ: مِنْهٰا خَلَقْنٰاكُمْ وَ فِيهٰا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَ مِنْهٰا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تٰارَةً أُخْرىٰ ،فَعَجَنُوا النُّطْفَةَ بِتِلْكَ التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي يَخْلُقُ مِنْهَا، بَعْدَ أَنْ أَسْكَنَهَا الرَّحِمَ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً،فَإِذَا تَمَّتْ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ،قَالُوا:يَا رَبِّ،نَخْلُقُ مَاذَا؟فَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِمَا يُرِيدُ،مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَى،أَبْيَضَ أَوْ أَسْوَدَ،فَإِذَا خَرَجَتِ الرُّوحُ مِنَ الْبَدَنِ،خَرَجَتْ هَذِهِ النُّطْفَةُ بِعَيْنِهَا مِنْهُ،كَائِناً مَا كَانَ،صَغِيراً أَوْ كَبِيراً، ذَكَراً أَوْ أُنْثَى،فَلِذَلِكَ يُغَسَّلُ الْمَيِّتُ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ».

99-/7018 _1- Muhammad b. Ya‘qub: from ‘Ali b. Muhammad b. ‘Abd Allah, from Ibrahim b. Ishaq, from Muhammad b. Sulayman al-Daylami, from his father, from Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him), who said: “ ‘Abd Allah b. Qays al-Masir entered upon Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him)—[this is] the hadith, and in it: Verily Allah, the Exalted, created creators. When He intends to create a creature, He commands them, and they take from the earth of which Allah said in His Book: ‘From it We created you, and into it We shall send you back, and from it will We bring you forth a second time.’ So they knead the drop of seed with that very earth from which he is created, after He has lodged it in the womb for forty nights. When four months are completed for it, they say: ‘O Lord, what shall we create?’ Then He commands them with what He wills—male or female, white or black. When the soul departs from the body, that very drop departs from it, whatever it may be—small or great, male or female. For that reason the dead person is washed with the ritual bath of janabah.”

99-/7019 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ(رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ)،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ، لِمَ يُغَسَّلُ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ قَالَ:«إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَعْلَى وَ أَخْلَصُ مِنْ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ الْأَشْيَاءَ بِيَدِهِ،إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مَلَكَيْنِ خَلاَّقَيْنِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقاً أَمَرَ أُولَئِكَ الْخَلاَّقِينَ فَأَخَذُوا مِنَ التُّرْبَةِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ: مِنْهٰا خَلَقْنٰاكُمْ وَ فِيهٰا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَ مِنْهٰا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تٰارَةً أُخْرىٰ ،فَعَجَنُوهَا بِالنُّطْفَةِ الْمُسْكَنَةِ فِي الرَّحِمِ،فَإِذَا عُجِنَتِ النُّطْفَةُ بِالتُّرْبَةِ، قَالاَ:يَا رَبِّ،مَا نَخْلُقُ؟-قَالَ-:فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِمَا مَا يُرِيدُ،ذَكَراً أَوْ أُنْثَى،مُؤْمِناً أَوْ كَافِراً،أَسْوَدَ أَوْ أَبْيَضَ، شَقِيّاً أَوْ سَعِيداً،فَإِذَا مَاتَ سَالَتْ عَنْهُ تِلْكَ النُّطْفَةُ بِعَيْنِهَا،لاَ غَيْرُهَا،فَمِنْ ثُمَّ صَارَ الْمَيِّتُ يُغَسَّلُ غُسْلَ الْجَنَابَةِ».

99-/7019 _1- Ibn Babawayh said: al-Husayn b. Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated to me, from his father, who said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. ‘Isa narrated to me, from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr, from ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Hammad, who said: I asked Abu Ibrahim (peace be upon him) about the deceased—why is he washed with the ritual bath of janabah? He said: “Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is too exalted and too pure to dispatch things by His [own] hand. Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, has two creating angels. When He wants to create a creature, He commands those creators, and they take from the soil of which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said in His Book: ‘From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We bring you forth a second time.’ Then they knead it with the drop of seed that is placed in the womb. When the drop has been kneaded with the soil, they both say: ‘O Lord, what shall we create?’—He said—then Allah, Blessed and Exalted, reveals to them what He wills: male or female, believer or unbeliever, black or white, wretched or happy. When he dies, that very drop flows out from him—no other—and for that reason the dead person is washed with the ritual bath of janabah.”

قوله تعالى:

فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذٰابٍ [61]

Quran 20:61

M. H. Shakir: so He should destroy you with a chastisement,

/7020 _2-علي بن إبراهيم:أي يصيبكم.

/7020 _2- ‘Ali b. Ibrahim: That is, “He afflicts you.”

قوله تعالى:

فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُوسىٰ* قُلْنٰا لاٰ تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعْلىٰ [67 و 68]

Quran 20:67-68

M. H. Shakir: So Musa conceived in his mind a fear. We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost.
