S 29 Ayat 10 to 13

قوله تعالى

وَ مِنَ النّٰاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنّٰا بِاللّٰهِ -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ لَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقٰالَهُمْ وَ أَثْقٰالاً مَعَ

أَثْقٰالِهِمْ  [10-13] -

And among men is he who says: We believe in Allah; but when he is persecuted for the sake of Allah, he thinks the persecution of men to be as the chastisement of Allah; and if help comes from your Lord, they would most certainly say: Surely we were with you. Is not Allah the best knower of what is in the breasts of mankind? And most certainly Allah will know those who believe, and most certainly He will know the hypocrites. And those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs. And never will they bear any of their wrongs; most surely they are liars. And most certainly they will carry their own burdens, and other burdens along with their own burdens, and most certainly they will be questioned on the day of resurrection as to what they forged.

 /8255 _1-علي بن إبراهيم: وَ مِنَ النّٰاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنّٰا بِاللّٰهِ فَإِذٰا أُوذِيَ فِي اللّٰهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النّٰاسِ كَعَذٰابِ اللّٰهِ ،قال:إذا آذاه إنسان،أو أصابه ضر،أو فاقة،أو خوف من الظالمين،دخل معهم في دينهم [1]،فرأى أن ما يفعلونه هو مثل عذاب اللّه الذي لا ينقطع، وَ لَئِنْ جٰاءَ نَصْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ يعني القائم(عليه السلام) لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنّٰا كُنّٰا مَعَكُمْ أَ وَ لَيْسَ اللّٰهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمٰا فِي صُدُورِ الْعٰالَمِينَ .

/8255 _1- ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm regarding:

And among men is he who says: We believe in Allah; but when he is persecuted for the sake of Allah, he thinks the persecution of men to be as the chastisement of Allah [Surah Al-ʿAnkabūt, 29:10, M. H. Shakir]

He said: When a person is harmed by someone, or afflicted by hardship, poverty, or fear of the oppressors, he joins their religion, and sees what they are doing as being like the chastisement of Allah that never ceases.

And if help comes from your Lord It refers to al-Qāʾim (peace be upon him),

they would most certainly say: Surely we were with you. Is not Allah the best knower of what is in the breasts of mankind? [Surah Al-ʿAnkabūt, 29:10, M. H. Shakir]

/8256 _2-قال:قوله: وَ قٰالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِيلَنٰا وَ لْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰايٰاكُمْ ،قال:كان الكفّار يقولون للمؤمنين:كونوا معنا،فإن الذي تخافون أنتم ليس بشيء،فإن كان حقا نتحمل نحن ذنوبكم. فيعذبهم اللّه مرتين:مرة بذنوبهم،و مرة بذنوب غيرهم.

/8256 _2- He said regarding His saying:

(And those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs) [Surah Al-ʿAnkabūt, 29:12, M. H. Shakir]

He said: The disbelievers used to say to the believers: "Be with us, for what you fear is nothing. And if it turns out to be true, we will bear your sins."

So Allah will punish them twice: once for their own sins, and once for the sins of others.

99-/8257 _3- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّيَّارِيِّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ الْكُوفِيُّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ اللَّيْثِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)-فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ-قَالَ: قُلْتُ:يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ،مَا أَعْجَبَ هَذَا،تُؤْخَذُ حَسَنَاتُ أَعْدَائِكُمْ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى شِيعَتِكُمْ،وَ تُؤْخَذُ سَيِّئَاتُ مُحِبِّيكُمْ فَتُرَدُّ عَلَى مُبْغِضِيكُمْ! قَالَ:«إِي وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَالِقُ الْحَبَّةِ،وَ بَارِئُ النَّسَمَةِ،وَ فَاطِرُ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ،مَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ، وَ مَا أَنْبَأْتُكَ إِلاَّ بِالصِّدْقِ،وَ مَا ظَلَمَهُمْ اللَّهُ،وَ مَا اللَّهُ بِظَلاَّمٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ،وَ إِنَّ مَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ لَمَوْجُودٌ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُلَّهُ».

99-/8257 _3- Ibn Bābawayh narrated: My father narrated to me, he said: Saʿd ibn ʿAbdullāh narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Sayyārī, who said: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Mihrān al-Kūfī narrated to us, he said: Ḥanān ibn Sadīr narrated to me, from his father, from Abū Isḥāq al-Laythī, from Abū Jaʿfar (peace be upon him)—in a lengthy narration—who said:

I said: “O son of the Messenger of Allah, how astonishing is this! The good deeds of your enemies are taken and returned to your Shīʿah, and the bad deeds of your lovers are taken and returned upon your enemies!”

He (peace be upon him) said: “Yes, by Allah, besides whom there is no god, the Splitter of the grain, the Creator of the soul, the Originator of the earth and the heavens, I have only informed you of the truth, and I have only told you the reality. Allah has not wronged them, and Allah is not unjust to the servants. Indeed, what I have informed you is present throughout the Qur'an.”

قُلْتُ:هَذَا بِعَيْنِهِ يُوجَدُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ؟قَالَ:«نَعَمْ،يُوجَدُ فِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلاَثِينَ مَوْضِعاً فِي الْقُرْآنِ،أَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ»؟قُلْتُ:بَلَى،يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ.

فَقَالَ:«قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ قٰالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّبِعُوا سَبِيلَنٰا وَ لْنَحْمِلْ خَطٰايٰاكُمْ وَ مٰا هُمْ بِحٰامِلِينَ مِنْ خَطٰايٰاهُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُمْ لَكٰاذِبُونَ* وَ لَيَحْمِلُنَّ أَثْقٰالَهُمْ وَ أَثْقٰالاً مَعَ أَثْقٰالِهِمْ ».

و الحديث بطوله تقدم في قوله تعالى: لِيَحْمِلُوا أَوْزٰارَهُمْ كٰامِلَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيٰامَةِ من سورة النحل [1].

**99-/8257 _3- I said: "Is this specifically found in the Qur’an?" He (peace be upon him) said: "Yes, it is found in more than thirty places in the Qur’an. Do you want me to recite that to you?" I said: "Certainly, O son of the Messenger of Allah."

He (peace be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: (And those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Follow our path and we will bear your wrongs. And never will they bear any of their wrongs; most surely they are liars. And most certainly they will carry their own burdens, and other burdens along with their own burdens) [Surah Al-ʿAnkabūt, 29:12-13, M. H. Shakir]"

And this full narration was also mentioned earlier regarding His saying: (That they may bear their burdens entirely on the Day of Resurrection) [Surah Al-Naḥl, 16:25, M. H. Shakir].**
