Yunus Ayah 103-109

يونس آيه 109-103

بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)بِالْبُرَاقِ فَرَكِبَهَا،فَأَتَى بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ،فَلَقِيَ مَنْ لَقِيَ مِنْ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ،ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَأَصْبَحَ يُحَدِّثُ أَصْحَابَهُ:أَنِّي أَتَيْتُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ اللَّيْلَةَ،وَ لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.فَقَالُوا:يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَ كَيْفَ أَتَيْتَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ اللَّيْلَةَ؟فَقَالَ:جَاءَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)بِالْبُرَاقِ،فَرَكِبْتُهُ،وَ آيَةُ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِعِيرٍ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَلَى مَاءٍ لِبَنِي فُلاَنٍ،وَ قَدْ أَضَلُّوا جَمَلاً لَهُمْ وَ هُمْ فِي طَلَبِهِ».

قَالَ:«فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ:إِنَّمَا جَاءَ رَاكِباً سَرِيعاً،وَ لَكِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمُ الشَّامَ وَ عَرَفْتُمُوهَا،فَسَلُوهُ عَنْ أَسْوَاقِهَا وَ أَبْوَابِهَا وَ تُجَّارِهَا».قَالَ:«فَسَأَلُوهُ،فَقَالُوا:يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،كَيْفَ الشَّامُ وَ كَيْفَ أَسْوَاقُهَا؟وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ لاَ يَعْرِفُهُ يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ-قَالَ-فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فَقَالَ:يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،هَذِهِ الشَّامُ قَدْ رُفِعَتْ لَكَ،فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالشَّامِ وَ أَبْوَابِهَا وَ تُجَّارِهَا،فَقَالَ:أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ الشَّامِ؟فَقَالُوا:أَيْنَ بَيْتُ فُلاَنٍ وَ مَكَانُ فُلاَنٍ [1]؟فَأَجَابَهُمُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ -قَالَ-فَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ،وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ: وَ مٰا تُغْنِي الْآيٰاتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لاٰ يُؤْمِنُونَ فَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ لاَ نُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ،آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ،آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ».

ترجمة: Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) with the Burāq, so he mounted it and came to Bayt al-Maqdis, where he met some of the prophets he met. Then he returned and in the morning began relating to his companions: I came to Bayt al-Maqdis last night and I met my brothers from among the prophets. They said: O Messenger of Allah, and how did you come to Bayt al-Maqdis last night? He said: Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to me with the Burāq and I mounted it, and a sign of that is that I passed by a caravan of Abū Sufyān at a watering place of such-and-such a tribe, and they had lost a camel of theirs and were searching for it. He said: So the people said to one another: He only came as a swift rider, but you have gone to al-Shām and know it; so ask him about its markets, its gates, and its merchants. He said: They questioned him and said: O Messenger of Allah, what is al-Shām like, and what are its markets like? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), when asked about something he did not know, it weighed heavily upon him until it could be seen in his face—he said—while he was in that state, Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah, al-Shām has been raised up for you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) turned and there before him was al-Shām, with its gates and its merchants. He said: Where is the one who asked about al-Shām? They said: Where is the house of so-and-so and the place of so-and-so [1]? He answered them concerning everything they asked him about—he said—yet only a few of them believed, and it is the saying of Allah: “And what will the signs and the warners avail a people who do not believe.” We seek refuge in Allah from not believing in Allah and His Messenger; we have believed in Allah and His Messenger; we have believed in Allah and His Messenger.

وَ مٰا تُغْنِي الْآيٰاتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لاٰ يُؤْمِنُونَ (يونس 10:101)

And what will the signs and the warners avail a people who do not believe. (Qur’an 10:101, M. H. Shakir)

[1] في«ط»:فقالوا:أين فلان و أين فلان.

[1] fi “Ṭ”: fa-qālū: ayna fulān wa ayna fulān.

قوله تعالى:

قُلْ فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ (يونس 10:102)

Say: So wait; surely I too, with you am of those who wait. (Qur’an 10:102, M. H. Shakir)

99-/4993 _1- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فِي الْفَرَجِ.

فَقَالَ:«أَ وَ لَيْسَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ انْتِظَارَ الْفَرَجِ مِنَ الْفَرَجِ؟إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ: فَانْتَظِرُوا إِنِّي مَعَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ ».

99-/4993 _1- al-‘Ayyāshī: from Muḥammad b. al-Fuḍayl, from Abū al-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (peace be upon him). He said: I asked him about something concerning the relief. He replied: Do you not know that awaiting the relief is part of the relief? Surely Allah says: “So wait; surely I too, with you am of those who wait.”

قوله تعالى:

كَذٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنٰا نُنْجِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (يونس 10:103)

Thus it is binding on Us that We deliver the believers. (Qur’an 10:103, M. H. Shakir)

وَ اتَّبِعْ مٰا يُوحىٰ إِلَيْكَ وَ اصْبِرْ حَتّٰى يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ الْحٰاكِمِينَ (يونس 10:109)

And follow what is revealed to you and be patient till Allah should give judgment, and He is the best of the judges. (Qur’an 10:109, M. H. Shakir)

99-/4994 _2- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ مَصْقَلَةَ الطَّحَّانِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ أَنْ تَشْهَدُوا عَلَى مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؟!إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ: كَذٰلِكَ حَقًّا عَلَيْنٰا نُنْجِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ».

99-/4994 _2- al-‘Ayyāshī: from Masqala al-Taḥḥān, from Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him). He said: What prevents you from bearing witness regarding whoever among you dies upon this affair that he is among the people of Paradise?! Surely Allah says: “Thus it is binding on Us that We deliver the believers.”

/4995 _2-و قال عليّ بن إبراهيم:في قوله: قُلْ يا محمد يٰا أَيُّهَا النّٰاسُ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِنْ دِينِي فَلاٰ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ وَ لٰكِنْ أَعْبُدُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِي يَتَوَفّٰاكُمْ فإنه محكم.

ثم قال:و قوله: وَ لاٰ تَدْعُ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مٰا لاٰ يَنْفَعُكَ وَ لاٰ يَضُرُّكَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذاً مِنَ الظّٰالِمِينَ فإنه مخاطبة للنبي(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله)و المعني للناس. ثم قال: قُلْ يٰا أَيُّهَا النّٰاسُ قَدْ جٰاءَكُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنِ اهْتَدىٰ فَإِنَّمٰا يَهْتَدِي لِنَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمٰا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهٰا وَ مٰا أَنَا عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَكِيلٍ أي لست بوكيل عليكم أحفظ أعمالكم، إنّما علي أن أدعوكم. ثم قال: وَ اتَّبِعْ يا محمد مٰا يُوحىٰ إِلَيْكَ وَ اصْبِرْ حَتّٰى يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ الْحٰاكِمِينَ .

/4995 _2- And ‘Alī b. Ibrāhīm said regarding His saying: Say, O Muḥammad: O mankind! if you are in doubt as to my religion, then (know that) I do not serve those whom you serve besides Allah, but I do serve Allah Who causes you to die—that is decisive. Then he said: And His saying: And do not call besides Allah on that which can neither benefit you nor harm you; for if you do, then surely you will in that case be of the unjust—this is an address to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family), while the meaning is intended for the people. Then he said: Say: O mankind! there has come to you the truth from your Lord; therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright only for his own soul, and whoever goes astray, he goes astray only to its detriment; and I am not a warder over you—i.e., I am not a guardian over you to preserve your deeds; my duty is only to call you. Then he said: And follow, O Muḥammad, what is revealed to you, and be patient till Allah gives judgment, and He is the best of the judges.

(سورة يونس)

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّ فِي اخْتِلاٰفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهٰارِ (يونس 10:6)

Most surely in the variation of the night and the day ... (Qur’an 10:6, M. H. Shakir)

99- _1- الزَّمَخْشَرِيُّ فِي(رَبِيعِ الْأَبْرَارِ):عَنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «مَنِ اقْتَبَسَ عِلْماً مِنْ عِلْمِ النُّجُومِ مِنْ حَمَلَةِ الْقُرْآنِ، ازْدَادَ بِهِ إِيمَاناً وَ يَقِيناً».ثُمَّ تَلاَ: إِنَّ فِي اخْتِلاٰفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهٰارِ الْآيَةَ.

99- _1- al-Zamakhsharī in (Rabī‘ al-Abrār): from ‘Alī (peace be upon him): Whoever acquires knowledge of the science of the stars among the bearers of the Qur’an, his faith and certainty increase thereby. Then he recited: “Most surely in the variation of the night and the day” is the sign.

قوله تعالى:

وَ لاٰ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيٰاتِ اللّٰهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْخٰاسِرِينَ (يونس 10:95)

And be not of those who reject the communications of Allah, (for) then you should be one of the losers. (Qur’an 10:95, M. H. Shakir)

_2-ابن شهر آشوب:عن أبي القاسم الكوفيّ،في قوله تعالى: وَ لاٰ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيٰاتِ اللّٰهِ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الْخٰاسِرِينَ يعني بالآيات هاهنا الأوصياء المتقدمين و المتأخرين.

_2- Ibn Shahr Āshūb: from Abū al-Qāsim al-Kūfī, regarding His saying: “And be not of those who reject the communications of Allah, (for) then you should be one of the losers,” he said: By “the communications (āyāt)” here are meant the trustees (awṣiyā’)—the former and the latter.
