Al-Kahf Ayah 25

قوله تعالى:

وَلا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰ أَنْ يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا [الكهف 23–24]

And do not say of anything: Surely I will do it tomorrow, Unless Allah pleases; and remember your Lord when you forget and say: Maybe my Lord will guide me to a nearer course to the right than this. (M. H. Shakir)

«هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى الشَّيْءِ وَ يَنْسَى أَنْ يَسْتَثْنِيَ،فَيَقُولُ:لَأَفْعَلَنَّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا غَداً أَوْ بَعْدَ غَدٍ؛عَنْ قَوْلِهِ: وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ».

It is the man who swears about a thing and forgets to make an exception, saying: “I will surely do such-and-such tomorrow or the day after,” with respect to His saying: “and remember your Lord when you forget.”

99-/6654 _16- عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ ،قَالَ: «إِذَا حَلَفْتَ نَاسِياً ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتَ بَعْدُ،فَاسْتَثْنِ حِينَ تَذْكُرُ».

99-/6654 _16- From Hamzah b. Humrān, he said: I asked him about Allah’s saying: “And remember your Lord when you forget.” He said: If you swore an oath forgetfully, then later remembered, make the exception when you remember.

99-/6655 _17- عَنِ الْقَدَّاحِ،عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: «الاِسْتِثْنَاءُ فِي الْيَمِينِ مَتَى مَا ذَكَرَ،وَ إِنْ كَانَ بَعْدَ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً». ثُمَّ تَلاَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: وَاذْكُرْ رَبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ.

99-/6655 _17- From al-Qaddāḥ, from Ja‘far b. Muhammad, from his father, from ‘Alī (peace be upon them), who said: The exception in an oath applies whenever one remembers, even if after forty mornings. Then he recited this verse: “And remember your Lord when you forget.”

قوله تعالى:

وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعًا [الكهف 25]

And they remained in their cave three hundred years and add nine. (M. H. Shakir)

99-/6656 _1- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ جَابِرٍ،قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) يَقُولُ: «وَ اللَّهِ،لَيَمْلِكَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَ يَزْدَادُ تِسْعاً». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَ مَتَى ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: «بَعْدَ مَوْتِ الْقَائِمِ». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَ كَمْ يَقُومُ الْقَائِمُ فِي عَالَمِهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ؟ قَالَ: «تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً،مِنْ يَوْمِ قِيَامِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِ». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَيَكُونُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ هَرْجٌ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ،خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً -قَالَ- ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ الْمُنْتَصِرُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَيَطْلُبُ بِدَمِهِ وَ دَمِ أَصْحَابِهِ،فَيَقْتُلُ وَ يَسْبِي حَتَّى يُقَالَ: لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَا قَتَلَ النَّاسَ كُلَّ هَذَا الْقَتْلِ؛ فَيَجْتَمِعُ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ أَبْيَضُهُمْ وَ أَسْوَدُهُمْ فَيَكْثُرُونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُلْجِئُوهُ إِلَى حَرَمِ اللَّهِ،فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْبَلاَءُ عَلَيْهِ مَاتَ الْمُنْتَصِرُ وَ خَرَجَ السَّفَّاحُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا غَضَباً لِلْمُنْتَصِرِ،فَيَقْتُلُ كُلَّ عَدُوِّنَا جَائِرٍ وَ يَمْلِكُ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا،فَيَصْلُحُ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ،وَ يَعِيشُ ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَ يَزْدَادُ تِسْعاً». ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «يَا جَابِرُ،وَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ الْمُنْتَصِرُ وَ السَّفَّاحُ؟ يَا جَابِرُ،الْمُنْتَصِرُ الْحُسَيْنُ،وَ السَّفَّاحُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا)».

99-/6656 _1- Al-‘Ayyāshī: From Jābir, who said: I heard Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him) say: By Allah, a man from us, the People of the House, will surely rule the earth after his death for three hundred years and add nine. He said: I asked, When will that be? He said: After the death of the Qā’im. I said: And how long will the Qā’im remain in his world until he dies? He said: Nineteen years, from the day of his rising to the day of his death. I said: Will there be turmoil after his death? He said: Yes, for fifty years. Then the Muntasir will come forth into the world and seek vengeance for his blood and the blood of his companions; he will kill and take captives until it is said: “If this were from the progeny of the prophets, he would not have killed people to this extent.” Then people, both their fair and dark, will gather against him and become many against him until they force him into Allah’s sanctuary. When the tribulation intensifies upon him, the Muntasir dies, and the Saffāḥ comes forth into the world in anger for the Muntasir. He will kill every tyrannical enemy of ours and rule the entire earth. Allah will set his affair aright, and he will live three hundred years and add nine. Then Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said: O Jābir, do you know who the Muntasir and the Saffāḥ are? O Jābir, the Muntasir is al-Ḥusayn, and the Saffāḥ is the Commander of the Faithful (blessings of Allah be upon them both).

99-/6657 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النُّعْمَانِيُّ،قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُقْدَةَ،قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ رُمَّانَةَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ،وَ سَعْدَانُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ،وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الزَّيَّاتُ،وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَوَانِيُّ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ،عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ،عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْجُعْفِيِّ،قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) يَقُولُ: «وَ اللَّهِ،لَيَمْلِكَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَ يَزْدَادُ تِسْعاً». قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: وَ مَتَى يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ: «بَعْدَ مَوْتِ الْقَائِمِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)». قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ كَمْ يَقُومُ الْقَائِمُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي عَالَمِهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ؟ فَقَالَ: «تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً مِنْ يَوْمِ قِيَامِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِهِ».

99-/6657 _2- Muhammad b. Ibrāhīm al-Nu‘mānī said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sa‘īd b. ‘Uqdah informed us, saying: Muhammad b. al-Mufaḍḍal b. Ibrāhīm b. Qays b. Rummānah al-Ash‘arī, and Sa‘dān b. Isḥāq b. Sa‘īd, and Ahmad b. al-Ḥusayn b. ‘Abd al-Malik al-Zayyāt, and Muhammad b. Ahmad b. al-Ḥasan al-Qaṭwānī narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan b. Maḥbūb, from ‘Amr b. Thābit, from Jābir b. Yazīd al-Ju‘fī, who said: I heard Abū Ja‘far Muhammad b. ‘Alī (peace be upon them) say: By Allah, a man from us, the People of the House, will surely rule for three hundred years and add nine. I said to him: When will that be? He said: After the death of the Qā’im (peace be upon him). I said to him: And how long will the Qā’im (peace be upon him) remain in his world until he dies? He said: Nineteen years from the day of his rising to the day of his death.

قوله تعالى:

وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا [الكهف 28]

And withhold yourself with those who call on their Lord morning and evening desiring His goodwill, and let not your eyes pass from them, desiring the beauties of this world's life; and do not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful of Our remembrance and he follows his low desires and his case is one in which due bounds are exceeded. (M. H. Shakir)

99-/6658 _1- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ زُرَارَةَ وَ حُمْرَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ ،قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَا الصَّلاَةَ».

99-/6658 _1- Al-‘Ayyāshī: From Zurārah and Humrān, from Abū Ja‘far and Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon them), regarding His saying: “And withhold yourself with those who call on their Lord morning and evening,” he said: What is meant by it is the prayer.

/6659 _2- علي بن إبراهيم: فهذه الآية: نزلت في سلمان الفارسيّ، كان عليه كساء فيه يكون طعامه و هو دثاره و رداؤه، و كان كساء من صوف، فدخل عيينة بن حصن على النبيّ(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله) و سلمان عنده، فتأذى عيينة بريح كساء سلمان، و قد كان عرق فيه و كان يومئذ شديد الحر، فعرق في الكساء، فقال: يا رسول اللّه، إذا نحن دخلنا عليك فأخرج هذا و حزبه من عندك، فإذا نحن خرجنا فأدخل من شئت؛ فأنزل اللّه: وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنَا و هو عيينة بن حصن بن حذيفة بن بدر الفزاريّ.

/6659 _2- ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm: This verse was revealed about Salmān al-Fārisī. He had a cloak in which was his food, and it was his inner and outer garment; it was a woolen cloak. ‘Uyaynah b. Ḥiṣn entered upon the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) while Salmān was with him. ‘Uyaynah was bothered by the smell of Salmān’s cloak, for he had sweated in it, and that day was extremely hot, so he sweated in the cloak. He said: O Messenger of Allah, when we enter upon you, remove this man and his group from around you; when we leave, then admit whomever you wish. So Allah revealed: “And do not follow him whose heart We have made unmindful of Our remembrance,” and he was ‘Uyaynah b. Ḥiṣn b. Ḥudhayfah b. Badr al-Fazārī.

قوله تعالى:

وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَمَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ [...]

And say: The truth is from your Lord; so let him who please believe, and let him who please disbelieve. (M. H. Shakir) [partial as in source]
