99-/1099 _3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ،عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ [1]،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ:سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يُبِينَ خَلْقَهُ وَ يَجْمَعَهُمْ لِمَا لاَ بُدَّ مِنْهُ،أَمَرَ مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي فَتَجْتَمِعُ الْإِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ فِي أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ،ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِلسَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَتَنْزِلُ،وَ كَانَتْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ،وَ أَذِنَ لِلسَّمَاءِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَتَنْزِلُ،وَ هِيَ ضِعْفُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا،فَإِذَا رَآهَا أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا،قَالُوا:جَاءَ رَبُّنَا [2]،وَ هُوَ آتٍ، يَعْنِي أَمْرَهُ،حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ كُلُّ سَمَاءٍ،تَكُونُ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْأُخْرَى،وَ هِيَ ضِعْفُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا،ثُمَّ يَنْزِلُ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ:

فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمٰامِ وَ الْمَلاٰئِكَةُ وَ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَ إِلَى اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ ».

وَ لِلْحَدِيثِ تَتِمَّةٌ،تَأْتِي-إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى-فِي قَوْلِهِ: لاٰ يَحْزُنُهُمُ الْفَزَعُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ سُورَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ [3].

Translation:

99-/1099 _3- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: My father narrated to me, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Mansur ibn Yunus, from ‘Amr ibn Abi Shaybah [1], from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him). He said—I heard him say of his own accord: “When Allah wills to make His creation manifest and gather them for that which must inevitably occur, He commands a herald to call out, and mankind and jinn assemble faster than the blink of an eye. Then He permits the lowest heaven, and it descends, and it is behind the people; then He permits the second heaven, and it descends, and it is twice the one next to it. When the people of the lowest heaven see it, they say: ‘Our Lord has come’ [2], yet He is coming—meaning His command—until every heaven descends, each one of them behind the other, and each is double the one that follows it. Then the command of Allah descends:

‘In the shadows of the clouds with the angels, and the matter is decided, and to Allah are returned all affairs.’”

And there is a continuation to the hadith, which will come—God Most High willing—regarding His saying: “The Great Terror will not grieve them” from Surah al-Anbiya’ [3].

Quranic reference within the hadith:

فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمَامِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ الْأُمُورُ — البقرة 2:210

M. H. Shakir: Do they wait for aught but that Allah should come to them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels and the matter has been decided? And to Allah are (all) matters returned.

99-/1100 _4- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ جَابِرٍ،قَالَ:قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمٰامِ وَ الْمَلاٰئِكَةُ وَ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ .قَالَ:«يَنْزِلُ فِي سَبْعِ قِبَابٍ مِنْ نُورٍ،لاَ يُعْلَمُ فِي أَيِّهَا هُوَ،حِينَ يَنْزِلُ فِي ظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ،فَهَذَا حِينَ يَنْزِلُ».

Translation:

99-/1100 _4- Al-‘Ayyashi: From Jabir, who said: Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), regarding His saying, Most High: “In the shadows of the clouds with the angels, and the matter is decided,” said: “He descends in seven domes of light, and it is not known in which of them He is, when He descends at the rear of Kufa. This is the time when He descends.”

فِي ظُلَلٍ مِنَ الْغَمَامِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ — البقرة 2:210

99-/1101 _5- عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ،كَأَنِّي بِقَائِمِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَدْ عَلاَ نَجَفَكُمْ، فَإِذَا عَلاَ فَوْقَ نَجَفِكُمْ،نَشَرَ [4] رَايَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،فَإِذَا نَشَرَهَا انْحَطَّتْ عَلَيْهِ مَلاَئِكَةُ بَدْرٍ».وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«إِنَّهُ نَازِلٌ فِي قِبَابٍ مِنْ نُورٍ،حِينَ يَنْزِلُ بِظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ عَلَى الْفَارُوقِ،فَهَذَا حِينَ يَنْزِلُ،وَ أَمَّا قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ :فَهُوَ الْوَسْمُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ يَوْمَ يُوسَمُ الْكَافِرُ».

Translation:

99-/1101 _5- From Abu Hamzah, from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), who said: “O Abu Hamzah, it is as if I see the Qa’im of my Household having ascended your Najaf. When he ascends above your Najaf, he will unfurl [4] the banner of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family). When he unfurls it, the angels of Badr will descend upon him.” And Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said: “He will descend in domes of light, when he descends at the rear of Kufa upon al-Faruq. This is the time when He descends. As for ‘the matter is decided,’ it is the branding upon the snout on the day the unbeliever is branded.”

… وَ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ — البقرة 2:210

M. H. Shakir: Do they wait for aught but that Allah should come to them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels and the matter has been decided? And to Allah are (all) matters returned.

قوله تعالى:

سَلْ بَنِي إِسْرٰائِيلَ كَمْ آتَيْنٰاهُمْ مِنْ آيَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍ وَ مَنْ يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مٰا جٰاءَتْهُ فَإِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقٰابِ[211]

وَ يَقْرَأُ أَيْضاً: سَلْ بَنِي إِسْرٰائِيلَ كَمْ آتَيْنٰاهُمْ مِنْ آيَةٍ بَيِّنَةٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ،وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ جَحَدَ،وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَقَرَّ،وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ بَدَّلَ وَ مَنْ يُبَدِّلْ نِعْمَةَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مٰا جٰاءَتْهُ فَإِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقٰابِ .

And he also recited: “Ask the Children of Israel how many a clear sign We gave them—so among them are those who believed, and among them are those who denied, and among them are those who acknowledged, and among them are those who altered—and whoever changes the favor of Allah after it has come to him, then surely Allah is severe in punishment.”

قوله تعالى:

كٰانَ النّٰاسُ أُمَّةً وٰاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَ مُنْذِرِينَ[213]

Quran 2:213 (M. H. Shakir):

Mankind is a single nation; so Allah raised prophets as bearers of good news and as warners…

فَقَالَ:«كَانَ[النَّاسُ]قَبْلَ نُوحٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)أُمَّةَ ضَلاَلٍ،فَبَدَا لِلَّهِ فَبَعَثَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ،وَ لَيْسَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ:لَمْ يَزَلْ [2].

وَ كَذَبُوا،يَفْرُقُ اللَّهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ قَدْرَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ مَطَرٍ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُقَدِّرَ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ».

Translation:

99-/1104 _2- Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub: From Humayd ibn Ziyad, from al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Kindi, from Ahmad ibn ‘Udays, from Aban ibn ‘Uthman, from Ya‘qub ibn Shu‘ayb, that he asked Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic: “Mankind is a single nation.”

He said: “Before Noah (peace be upon him) [the people] were a nation of misguidance; then it appeared to Allah (al-bada’) so He sent the messengers. And it is not as they say: that it has always been [2].

They have lied. Allah apportions every night what there will be of hardship, or ease, or rain, in the measure that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, wills to decree, until the like of it the following year.”

99-/1105 _3- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ زُرَارَةَ،وَ حُمْرَانَ،وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ،وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) ،عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: كٰانَ النّٰاسُ أُمَّةً وٰاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ النَّبِيِّينَ .

قَالَ:«كَانُوا ضُلاَّلاً،فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ،وَ لَوْ سَأَلْتَ النَّاسَ لَقَالُوا:قَدْ فَرَغَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ».

99-/1105 _3- Al-‘Ayyashi: From Zurara, Humran, and Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja‘far and Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon them), regarding His saying: “Mankind is a single nation; so Allah raised prophets.”

He said: “They were astray, so Allah sent prophets among them. And were you to ask the people, they would say: ‘The matter has been concluded [from before].’”

99-/1106 _4- عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: كٰانَ النّٰاسُ أُمَّةً وٰاحِدَةً .
