S 55 Ayat 1 to 13

قوله تعالى:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ اَلرَّحْمٰنُ* عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ -إلى قوله تعالى- فَبِأَيِّ آلاٰءِ رَبِّكُمٰا تُكَذِّبٰانِ [1-13]

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Beneficent God, Taught the Qur'an. He created man, Taught him the mode of expression. The sun and the moon follow a reckoning, And the herbs and the trees do adore (Him). And the heaven, He raised it high, and He made the balance, That you may not be inordinate in respect of the measure. And keep up the balance with equity and do not make the measure deficient. And the earth, He has set it for living creatures; Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters, And the grain with (its) husk and fragrance. Which then of the bounties of your Lord will you deny?

99-/10294 _1- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ:قَالَ الصَّادِقُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «الْبَيَانُ:اَلاِسْمُ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِهِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ».

99-/10294 Al-Ṭabrisī reported: Imām al-Ṣādiq (ʿalayhi al-salām) said: “Al-bayān (the clear expression) is the Greatest Name by which everything was taught.”

99-/10295 _2- سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ:عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: اَلرَّحْمٰنُ* عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ،فَقَالَ:«إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَّمَ[مُحَمَّداً]الْقُرْآنَ».

قُلْتُ: خَلَقَ الْإِنْسٰانَ* عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«ذَاكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،عَلَّمَهُ بَيَانَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ».

99-/10295 Saʿd ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from ʿAlī ibn Maʿbad, from al-Ḥusayn ibn Khālid, from Abū al-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (ʿalayhi al-salām), who said:

I asked him about the saying of Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic: “The Beneficent (al-Raḥmān), taught the Qur’ān” [al-Raḥmān 55:1–2], He said: “Indeed, Allāh, Mighty and Majestic, taught [Muḥammad] the Qur’ān.”

I said: “He created man. Taught him the clear expression (bayān)” [al-Raḥmān 55:3–4]? He said: “That is ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (ʿalayhi al-salām); He taught him the explanation of everything people need.”

99-/10296 _3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: اَلرَّحْمٰنُ* عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ،قَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«اللَّهُ عَلَّمَ[مُحَمَّداً]الْقُرْآنَ».

قُلْتُ: خَلَقَ الْإِنْسٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«ذَلِكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

قُلْتُ: عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«عَلَّمَهُ تِبْيَانَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يَحْتَاجُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ».

99-/10296 ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm said: My father narrated to me, from al-Ḥusayn ibn Khālid, from Abū al-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (ʿalayhi al-salām), regarding the saying of Allāh, the Exalted:

"The Beneficent, taught the Qur’ān" [al-Raḥmān 55:1–2], He (ʿalayhi al-salām) said: “Allāh taught [Muḥammad] the Qur’ān.”

I said: "He created man" [55:3]? He said: “That is Amīr al-Muʾminīn (ʿalayhi al-salām).”

I said: "Taught him the clear expression (bayān)" [55:4]? He said: “He taught him the explanation of everything the people need.”

قُلْتُ: اَلشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبٰانٍ ،قَالَ:«هُمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ».قُلْتُ:اَلشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ يُعَذَّبَانِ؟قَالَ:«إِنْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَأَتْقِنْهُ،إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ،يَجْرِيَانِ بِأَمْرِهِ،مُطِيعَانِ لَهُ،ضَوْؤُهُمَا مِنْ نُورِ عَرْشِهِ، وَ جِرْمُهُمَا [1]مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ،فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْقِيَامَةُ عَادَ إِلَى الْعَرْشِ نُورُهُمَا،وَ عَادَ إِلَى النَّارِ جِرْمُهُمَا،فَلاَ يَكُونُ شَمْسٌ وَ لاَ قَمَرٌ،وَ إِنَّمَا عَنَاهُمَا لَعَنَهُمَا اللَّهُ،أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ رَوَى النَّاسُ:أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)قَالَ:إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ نُورَانِ [فِي النَّارِ]؟».قُلْتُ:بَلَى.قَالَ:«وَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ النَّاسِ:فُلاَنٌ وَ فُلاَنٌ شَمْسَا هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ نُورُهُمَا؟فَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ،وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى غَيْرَهُمَا».

I said: "The sun and the moon [move] according to a reckoning" [al-Raḥmān 55:5]? He said: "They are punished." I said: "The sun and the moon are punished?" He said: "If you ask about something, then be precise. The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They run by His command, obedient to Him. Their light is from the light of His Throne, and their mass is from Hell. So when the Day of Resurrection comes, their light returns to the Throne, and their mass returns to the Fire. Thus, there will be no sun and no moon. What was meant [in the verse] — may Allah curse them — haven’t the people narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa ālih) said: ‘The sun and the moon are two lights [in the Fire]’?” I said: "Yes." He said: "And haven’t you heard the people say: ‘So-and-so and so-and-so are the sun and moon of this nation and its light’? They are in the Fire, by Allah — no one else was meant."

قُلْتُ: وَ النَّجْمُ وَ الشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدٰانِ قَالَ:«النَّجْمُ:رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،وَ لَقَدْ سَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ، فَقَالَ: وَ النَّجْمِ إِذٰا هَوىٰ [2]،وَ قَالَ: وَ عَلاٰمٰاتٍ وَ بِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ [3]،[فَالْعَلاَمَاتُ:اَلْأَوْصِيَاءُ،وَ النَّجْمُ:

رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)»].

قُلْتُ: يَسْجُدٰانِ ؟قَالَ:«يَعْبُدَانِ».

I said: "And the star and the tree both prostrate" [al-Raḥmān 55:6]? He said: "The star is the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa ālih), and indeed Allah has called him [by this name] in other places, as He said: By the star when it sets [al-Najm 53:1], and He said: And [He has placed] landmarks and by the star they are guided [al-Naḥl 16:16]. The landmarks are the successors (al-awṣiyā’), and the star is the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa ālih)."

I said: "They both prostrate?" He said: "They both worship."

قُلْتُ: وَ السَّمٰاءَ رَفَعَهٰا وَ وَضَعَ الْمِيزٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«السَّمَاءُ:رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ،وَ الْمِيزَانُ:

أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،نَصَبَهُ لِخَلْقِهِ».

قُلْتُ: أَلاّٰ تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزٰانِ ؟قَالَ:«لاَ تَعْصُوا الْإِمَامَ».

قُلْتُ:[ وَ أَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ ؟قَالَ:«أَقِيمُوا الْإِمَامَ بِالْعَدْلِ».

قُلْتُ:] وَ لاٰ تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«لاَ تَبْخَسُوا الْإِمَامَ حَقَّهُ،وَ لاَ تَظْلِمُوهُ».

وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَ الْأَرْضَ وَضَعَهٰا لِلْأَنٰامِ ،قَالَ:«لِلنَّاسِ»، فِيهٰا فٰاكِهَةٌ وَ النَّخْلُ ذٰاتُ الْأَكْمٰامِ قَالَ:

«يَكْبَرُ ثَمَرُ النَّخْلِ فِي الْقَمْعِ،ثُمَّ يَطْلُعُ مِنْهُ».

I said: "And the heaven, He raised it and He set up the balance" [al-Raḥmān 55:7]? He said: "The heaven is the Messenger of Allah (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa ālih), whom Allah raised to Himself, and the balance is the Commander of the Faithful (ʿAlī, peace be upon him), whom He set up for His creation."

I said: "That you may not transgress the balance" [55:8]? He said: "Do not disobey the Imam."

I said: "And establish the weight with justice" [55:9]? He said: "Establish the Imam with fairness."

I said: "And do not make deficient the balance" [55:9]? He said: "Do not deprive the Imam of his due, and do not wrong him."

And regarding His saying: "And the earth, He has set it down for the creatures" [55:10], He said: "For the people."

"Therein is fruit and date-palms having sheaths" [55:11], He said: "The fruit of the date-palm grows within its sheath, then it emerges from it."

وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَ الْحَبُّ ذُو الْعَصْفِ وَ الرَّيْحٰانُ ،قَالَ:«الْحَبُّ:اَلْحِنْطَةُ وَ الشَّعِيرِ وَ الْحُبُوبِ،وَ الْعَصْفُ:

التِّينِ،وَ الرَّيْحَانُ:مَا يُؤْكَلُ مِنْهُ،وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: فَبِأَيِّ آلاٰءِ رَبِّكُمٰا تُكَذِّبٰانِ ،قَالَ:«فِي الظَّاهِرِ مُخَاطَبَةٌ لِلْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ،وَ فِي الْبَاطِنِ فُلاَنٌ وَ فُلاَنٌ».

And regarding His saying, "And the grain having husks and fragrant herbs" [al-Raḥmān 55:12], He said: "The grain means wheat, barley, and other grains; the husk refers to the fig; and the fragrant herb (rayḥān) is that which is eaten from it."

And regarding His saying, "Then which of the favors of your Lord will you both deny?" [55:13], He said: "On the outward level, it is an address to the jinn and humankind; and on the inner level, it refers to so-and-so and so-and-so."

99-/10297 _4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «سُورَةُ الرَّحْمَنِ نَزَلَتْ فِينَا مِنْ أَوَّلِهَا إِلَى آخِرِهَا».

99-/10297 – Muḥammad ibn al-ʿAbbās reported: al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad narrated from Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā, from Yūnus ibn Yaʿqūb, from more than one person, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), who said:

"Sūrat al-Raḥmān was revealed about us, from its beginning to its end."

99-/10298 _5- وَ عَنْهُ:عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى،عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: اَلرَّحْمٰنُ* عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ ؟قَالَ:«اللَّهُ عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ».

قُلْتُ:فَقَوْلُهُ: خَلَقَ الْإِنْسٰانَ* عَلَّمَهُ الْبَيٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«ذَلِكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ بَيَانَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ الْإِنْسَانُ».

99-/10298 – And from him: from Aḥmad ibn Idrīs, from Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā, from Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from ʿAlī ibn Maʿbad, from al-Ḥusayn ibn Khālid, from Abū al-Ḥasan al-Riḍā (peace be upon him), who said:

I asked him about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The Beneficent; Taught the Qur'an" [Surah al-Raḥmān 55:1–2]. He said: "Allah taught the Qur'an."

I said: Then the saying: "He created man; Taught him the mode of expression" [55:3–4]? He said: "That is the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him); Allah, the Exalted, taught him the explanation of everything the human being is in need of."

99-/10299 _6- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ [1]،عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ،عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،[عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ] اَلشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبٰانٍ ، قَالَ:«يَا دَاوُدُ،سَأَلْتَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ فَاكْتَفِ بِمَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْكَ،إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ،يَجْرِيَانِ بِأَمْرِهِ،ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ ضَرَبَ ذَلِكَ مَثَلاً لِمَنْ وَثَبَ عَلَيْنَا وَ هَتَكَ حُرْمَتَنَا وَ ظَلَمَنَا حَقَّنَا،فَقَالَ:هُمَا بِحُسْبَانٍ،قَالَ:هُمَا فِي عَذَابِي».

99-/10299

Ja‘far ibn Muḥammad ibn Mālik narrated from al-Ḥasan ibn ‘Alī ibn Marwān, from Sa‘īd ibn ‘Uthmān, from Dāwūd al-Raqqī, who said:

I asked Abū ‘Abdillāh (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The sun and the moon follow a reckoning" [Surah al-Raḥmān 55:5], and he said:

“O Dāwūd, you have asked about a matter — suffice yourself with what is conveyed to you. The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah. They run in accordance with His command. Then Allah struck them as a parable for the one who rose against us, violated our sanctity, and usurped our rights. He said: ‘They are according to a reckoning,’ meaning: they are within My punishment.”

قَالَ:قُلْتُ: وَ النَّجْمُ وَ الشَّجَرُ يَسْجُدٰانِ ؟قَالَ:«النَّجْمُ:رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)وَ الشَّجَرُ:أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)لَمْ يَعْصُوا اللَّهَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ».

قَالَ:قُلْتُ: وَ السَّمٰاءَ رَفَعَهٰا وَ وَضَعَ الْمِيزٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«السَّمَاءُ:رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ وَضَعَ الْمِيزٰانَ وَ الْمِيزَانُ:أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،وَ نَصَبَهُ لَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ».

99-/10299 He said: I asked, “And the star and the tree—do they both prostrate?” He (peace be upon him) said: “The star is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), and the tree is the Commander of the Faithful and the Imams (peace be upon them)—they never disobeyed Allah for the blink of an eye.”

He said: I asked, “And the heaven—He raised it, and He set the balance?” He (peace be upon him) said: “The heaven is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)—Allah seized him and then raised him to Himself. And He set the balance, and the balance is the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him), and He appointed him over them after him.”

قُلْتُ: أَلاّٰ تَطْغَوْا فِي الْمِيزٰانِ ؟قَالَ:«لاَ تَطْغَوْا فِي الْإِمَامِ بِالْعِصْيَانِ وَ الْخِلاَفِ».

قُلْتُ: وَ أَقِيمُوا الْوَزْنَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ لاٰ تُخْسِرُوا الْمِيزٰانَ ؟قَالَ:«أَطِيعُوا الْإِمَامَ بِالْعَدْلِ،وَ لاَ تَبْخَسُوهُ فِي حَقِّهِ».

99-/10299 I said: “Do not transgress in the balance?” He (peace be upon him) said: “Do not transgress against the Imam by disobedience and opposition.”

I said: “And establish the weight with justice and do not make deficient the balance?” He (peace be upon him) said: “Obey the Imam with justice, and do not diminish his due right.”

99-/10300 _7- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ،عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ،عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «وَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: فَبِأَيِّ آلاٰءِ رَبِّكُمٰا تُكَذِّبٰانِ ، أَيْ بِأَيِّ،نِعْمَتِي تُكَذِّبَانِ بِمُحَمَّدٍ أَمْ بِعَلِيٍّ؟فَبِهِمَا أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ».

99-/10300 Muḥammad ibn al-ʿAbbās said: Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Mālik narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Marwān, from Saʿīd ibn ʿUthmān, from Dāwūd al-Raqqī, from Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him), who said: “And the saying of the Exalted: ‘So which of the bounties of your Lord will you both deny?’ — meaning: which of My blessings do you both deny — through Muḥammad or through ʿAlī? For by them I have bestowed blessings upon the servants.”

99-/10301 _8- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَبِأَيِّ آلاٰءِ رَبِّكُمٰا تُكَذِّبٰانِ ،قَالَ:«قَالَ اللَّهُ:فَبِأَيِّ النِّعْمَتَيْنِ تَكْفُرَانِ،بِمُحَمَّدٍ أَمْ بِعَلِيٍّ».

99-/10301 ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm said: Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, who said: Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn, from Muḥammad ibn Aslam, from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ḥamza, from Abū Baṣīr, who said: I asked Abū ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: “So which of the bounties of your Lord will you both deny?” He (peace be upon him) said: “Allah said: So which of the two blessings do you deny — through Muḥammad or through ʿAlī?”

99-/10302 _9- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،رَفَعَهُ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) [2]،فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَبِأَيِّ آلاٰءِ رَبِّكُمٰا تُكَذِّبٰانِ :«أَ بِالنَّبِيِّ أَمْ بِالْوَصِيِّ[تُكَذِّبَانِ]،نَزَلَتْ فِي(الرَّحْمَنِ)».

99-/10302 Muḥammad ibn Yaʿqūb: from al-Ḥusayn ibn Muḥammad, from Muʿallā ibn Muḥammad, who raised it to Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad (peace be upon them), regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: “So which of the bounties of your Lord will you both deny?” He said: “Is it the Prophet you deny, or the Wasī (successor)? It was revealed in Sūrat al-Raḥmān.”
