S 55 Ayat 41 to 44

قوله تعالى:

يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمٰاهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوٰاصِي وَ الْأَقْدٰامِ -إلى قوله تعالى- حَمِيمٍ آنٍ [41-44]

41 The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet. 42 Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny? 43 This is the hell which the guilty called a lie. 44 Round about shall they go between it and hot, boiling water.

99-/10334 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ النُعْمَانِيُّ،قَالَ:أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ،قَالَ:أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمٰاهُمْ ،قَالَ:«اللَّهُ يَعْرِفُهُمْ،وَ لَكِنْ أُنْزِلَتْ فِي الْقَائِمِ يَعْرِفُهُمْ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فَيَخْبِطُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ هُوَ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ خَبْطاً».

99-/10334 Muḥammad ibn Ibrāhīm al-Nuʿmānī said: ʿAlī ibn Aḥmad narrated to us, he said: ʿUbaydullāh ibn Mūsā narrated to us, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from his father, from Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Daylamī, from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of the Exalted: "The guilty shall be recognized by their marks..." He said: "Allah knows them, but this was revealed concerning the Qāʾim—he will recognize them by their marks, then he and his companions will strike them with the sword indiscriminately."

99-/10335 _3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ:عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ سُلَيْمَانَ،عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ الدُّهْنِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى: يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمٰاهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوٰاصِي وَ الْأَقْدٰامِ ،فَقَالَ:«يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ،مَا يَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا؟»قُلْتُ:يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَعْرِفُ الْمِجْرِمِينَ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ،فَيَأْمُرُ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِنَوَاصِيهِمْ وَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ،وَ يُلْقَوْنَ فِي النَّارِ.فَقَالَ لِي:«وَ كَيْفَ يَحْتَاجُ [الْجَبَّارُ]تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ خَلْقٍ أَنْشَأَهُمْ وَ هُوَ خَلَقَهُمْ».

فَقُلْتُ:جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ،وَ مَا ذَاكَ؟قَالَ:«ذَلِكَ لَوْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ السِّيمَاءَ،فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْكَافِرِ،فَيُؤْخَذُ بِنَوَاصِيهِمْ وَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ،ثُمَّ يَخْبِطُ بِالسَّيْفِ خَبْطاً».

99-/10335 Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṣaffār, from Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān al-Daylamī, from his father Sulaymān, from Muʿāwiyah al-Duhnī, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted: "The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet" He said: “O Muʿāwiyah, what do they say about this?” I said: “They claim that Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will recognize the guilty by their marks on the Day of Judgment, and He will command that they be seized by their forelocks and feet and thrown into the Fire.” He said to me: “How can the Almighty, Blessed and Exalted, need to recognize a creation whom He originated and created?” So I said: “May I be your ransom, then what is the meaning of it?” He said: “When our Qāʾim arises, Allah will grant him the ability to see the marks (al-sīmā’), and he will command that the disbeliever be seized by their forelocks and feet, then he will strike them with the sword indiscriminately.”

99-/10336 _4- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ: وَ قَرَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«هَذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِي كُنْتُمَا بِهَا تُكَذِّبَانِ تَصْلَيَانِهَا لاَ تَمُوتَانِ [2] وَ لاَ تَحْيَيَانِ».

99-/10336 Al-Ṭabrisī: Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him) recited: "This is the hell which you both gave the lie to. You shall enter it to burn, you shall not die in it nor shall you live."

99-/10337 _4- الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ فِي(الْإِخْتِصَاصِ):إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ،عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الدُّهْنِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمٰاهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوٰاصِي وَ الْأَقْدٰامِ فَقَالَ:«يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ،مَا يَقُولُونَ فِي هَذَا».قُلْتُ:يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَعْرِفُ الْمِجْرِمِينَ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ،فَيَأْمُرُ بِهِمْ،فَيُؤْخَذُ بِنَوَاصِيهِمْ وَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ،وَ يُلْقَوْنَ فِي النَّارِ،فَقَالَ لِي:«وَ كَيْفَ يَحْتَاجُ الْجَبَّارُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ الْخَلْقِ بِسِيمَاهُمْ وَ هُوَ خَلَقَهُمْ؟!» قُلْتُ:فَمَا ذَا ذَاكَ،جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ؟فَقَالَ:«ذَلِكَ لَوْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ سِيمَاءُ أَعْدَائِنَا،فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْكَافِرِ،فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوَاصِي وَ الْأَقْدَامِ،ثُمَّ يَخْبِطُ بِالسَّيْفِ خَبْطاً».

99-/10337 – Shaykh al-Mufīd in al-Ikhtiṣāṣ: Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from Muḥammad ibn Sulaymān, from his father Sulaymān al-Daylamī, from Muʿāwiyah ibn ʿAmmār al-Duhnī, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, the Exalted: "The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet" he said: "O Muʿāwiyah, what do they say about this?" I said: "They claim that Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will recognize the sinners by their marks on the Day of Resurrection, so He will command for them to be taken by their forelocks and feet and they will be thrown into the Fire." He said to me: "And how would the Almighty, Blessed and Exalted, be in need of recognizing His creation by their marks while He created them?!" I said: "Then what is it, may I be your ransom?" He said: "That will be when our Qāʾim rises—Allah will give him the mark (sīmāʾ) of our enemies, so he will command that the disbelievers be seized by the forelocks and the feet, then he will strike them with the sword—striking."

99-/10338 _5- وَ عَنْهُ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيمٰاهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّوٰاصِي وَ الْأَقْدٰامِ ،قَالَ:«سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى يَعْرِفُهُمْ،وَ لَكِنْ هَذِهِ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْقَائِمِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،هُوَ [1]يَعْرِفُهُمْ بِسِيمَاهُمْ فَيَخْبِطُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ هُوَ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ خَبْطاً».

99-/10338 – And from him, by his chain of narration, from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The guilty shall be recognized by their marks, so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet" (Surah ar-Rahman, 55:41), he said: "Glory be to Him and Exalted is He—He surely knows them. However, this was revealed concerning the Qāʾim (peace be upon him); he will recognize them by their marks and he and his companions will strike them with the sword—striking."

99-/10339 _6- عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ وَ تِسْعِينَ وَ مِائَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ،قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ مُصْحَفاً،فَتَصَفَّحَتْ، فَوَقَعَ بَصَرِي عَلَى مَوْضِعٍ مِنْهُ،فَإِذَا فِيهِ مَكْتُوبٌ:(هَذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِي كُنْتُمَا بِهَا تُكَذِّبَانِ فَاصْلَيَا فِيهَا لاَ تَمُوتَانِ وَ لاَ تَحْيَيَانِ) يَعْنِي الْأَوَّلَيْنِ.

99-/10339 – ʿAbdullāh ibn Jaʿfar al-Ḥimyari, from Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā, who said: Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd narrated to me in the year 189 AH in al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. He said: I entered upon Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), and he brought out a Muṣḥaf for me. I leafed through it, and my eyes fell on a place in it where it was written:

"This is Hell which you two called a lie; enter into it, then bear it, you shall not die in it nor shall you live." (Surah ar-Rahman, 55:43–44, with slight variation) — meaning the two former ones [i.e., the first two usurpers].

/10340 _7-علي بن إبراهيم:قوله تعالى: يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَهٰا وَ بَيْنَ حَمِيمٍ آنٍ قال:لها أنين من شدة حرها.

99-/10340 – ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm: Regarding His saying, "They shall go round between it and hot boiling water"  — he said: It groans from the intensity of its heat.

99-/10341 _8- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلاَمِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْهَرَوِيِّ،

عَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ:يَا بْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ،فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ،أَ هُمَا الْيَوْمَ مَخْلُوقَتَانِ؟فَقَالَ:«نَعَمْ،وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)قَدْ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ رَأَى النَّارَ،لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ».

قَالَ:فَقُلْتُ لَهُ:إِنَّ قَوْماً يَقُولُونَ:إِنَّهُمَا الْيَوْمَ مُقَدَّرَتَانِ غَيْرُ مَخْلُوقَتَيْنِ؟

99-/10341 – Ibn Bābawayh narrated: Aḥmad ibn Ziyād ibn Jaʿfar al-Hamadhānī reported to us, from ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm, from his father Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from ʿAbd al-Salām ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Harawī, from al-Riḍā (peace be upon him), who said:

I said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah, tell me about Paradise and Hell — are they both created today?

He said: “Yes, and indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) entered Paradise and saw the Fire when he was taken up to the heavens.”

I then said to him: There are some people who say that they are only conceptual and not yet created?

فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«لاَ هُمْ مِنَّا وَ لاَ نَحْنُ مِنْهُمْ، مَنْ أَنْكَرَ خَلْقَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ كَذَّبَنَا،وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ وَلاَيَتِنَا عَلَى شَيْءٍ،وَ يُخَلَّدُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ،قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هٰذِهِ جَهَنَّمُ الَّتِي يُكَذِّبُ بِهَا الْمُجْرِمُونَ* يَطُوفُونَ بَيْنَهٰا وَ بَيْنَ حَمِيمٍ آنٍ وَ قَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ): لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)فَأَدْخَلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ،فَنَاوَلَنِي مِنْ رُطَبِهَا فَأَكَلْتُهُ،فَتَحَوَّلَ ذَلِكَ نُطْفَةً فِي صُلْبِي،فَلَمَّا هَبَطْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَاقَعْتُ خَدِيجَةَ فَحَمَلَتْ بِفَاطِمَةَ،فَفَاطِمَةُ حَوْرَاءُ إِنْسِيَّةٌ،فَكُلَّمَا اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى رَائِحَةِ الْجَنَّةِ تَشَمَّمْتُ رَائِحَةَ ابْنَتِي فَاطِمَةَ».

He (peace be upon him) said: “They are not from us, nor are we from them. Whoever denies the creation of Paradise and Hell has indeed belied the Messenger of Allah and has belied us, and he has no share in our wilayah (spiritual guardianship), and he shall dwell forever in the Fire of Hell. Allah the Exalted says: 'This is the Hell which the guilty called a lie. They shall go round between it and hot boiling water.'” “And the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: When I was taken up to the heaven (miʿrāj), Jibra’īl (peace be upon him) took me by the hand and entered me into Paradise, and he gave me some of its dates, and I ate them, and that became a drop (of fluid) in my loins. When I descended to the earth, I had relations with Khadījah, and she conceived Fāṭimah. So Fāṭimah is a heavenly ḥūrī in human form. And whenever I long for the scent of Paradise, I smell the fragrance of my daughter Fāṭimah.”
