Al-Kahf Ayah 44

الكهف آيه 44

وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللّٰهِ إِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبٰادِ [1] ؟فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ بِعَقِبِهَا: فَوَقٰاهُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّئٰاتِ مٰا مَكَرُوا [2].وَ عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ الدُّنْيَا وَ زِينَتَهَا،كَيْفَ لاَ يَفْزَعُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: مٰا شٰاءَ اللّٰهُ لاٰ قُوَّةَ إِلاّٰ بِاللّٰهِ ؟وَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ بِعَقِبِهَا: إِنْ تَرَنِ أَنَا أَقَلَّ مِنْكَ مٰالاً وَ وَلَداً* فَعَسىٰ رَبِّي أَنْ يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْراً مِنْ جَنَّتِكَ ، وَ عَسَى مُوجِبَةٌ».

Translation: “And I entrust my affair to Allah; surely Allah sees the servants.” [Ghafir 40:44, M. H. Shakir] For I heard Allah, Mighty and Majestic, say immediately after it: “So Allah protected him from the evil consequences of what they planned.” [Ghafir 40:45, M. H. Shakir] And I am amazed at one who desires the world and its adornment—how does he not take refuge in His saying, Exalted is He: “It is as Allah has pleased; there is no power save in Allah”? [Kahf 18:39, M. H. Shakir] For I heard Allah, Mighty and Majestic, say immediately after it: “If you see me less than you in wealth and children, then maybe my Lord will give me what is better than your garden.” [Kahf 18:39–40, M. H. Shakir] And “perhaps” conveys an obligation.

قوله تعالى:

هُنٰالِكَ الْوَلاٰيَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوٰاباً وَ خَيْرٌ عُقْباً [44]

Translation [Quran, al-Kahf 18:44, M. H. Shakir]: “There protection is only from Allah, the True; He is best in rewarding and best in requiting.”

_2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ(رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ):عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ،عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ:قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: هُنٰالِكَ الْوَلاٰيَةُ لِلّٰهِ الْحَقِّ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوٰاباً وَ خَيْرٌ عُقْباً ؟قَالَ:«هِيَ وَلاَيَةُ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،هِيَ [3] خَيْرٌ ثَوَاباً وَ خَيْرٌ عُقْباً».

قوله تعالى:

وَ اضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلَ الْحَيٰاةِ الدُّنْيٰا كَمٰاءٍ أَنْزَلْنٰاهُ مِنَ السَّمٰاءِ -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ الْبٰاقِيٰاتُ الصّٰالِحٰاتُ خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ ثَوٰاباً وَ خَيْرٌ أَمَلاً [45-46]

Translation [Quran, al-Kahf 18:45–46, M. H. Shakir]: “And set forth to them the parable of the life of this world: it is like the water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth mingles with it, then it becomes dry, broken into pieces which the winds scatter; and Allah is the holder of power over all things. Wealth and children are an adornment of the life of this world; and the ever-abiding, the good works, are better with your Lord in reward and better in expectation.”

_3- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ:
