النحل آيه 68-69

/6069 _1- علي بن إبراهيم، في قوله تعالى: وَ اللّٰهُ أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمٰاءِ مٰاءً: الآية محكمة، ثم قال: قوله: وَ إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي الْأَنْعٰامِ لَعِبْرَةً نُسْقِيكُمْ مِمّٰا فِي بُطُونِهِ مِنْ بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَ دَمٍ لَبَناً خٰالِصاً سٰائِغاً لِلشّٰارِبِينَ قال: الفرث: ما في الكرش.

/6069 _1- Ali ibn Ibrāhīm, regarding His saying: “And Allah has sent down water from the heaven”: the verse is decisive (muhkama). Then he said regarding His saying: “And most surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle; We give you to drink of what is in their bellies, from between feces and blood, pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink”: He said, “al-farth is what is in the rumen.”

99-/6070 _2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ، عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) [1]: «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَغَصُّ بِشُرْبِ اللَّبَنِ، لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ: لَبَناً خٰالِصاً سٰائِغاً لِلشّٰارِبِينَ».

99-/6070 Muhammad ibn Yaʿqūb: from ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm, from his father, from al-Nawfalī, from al-Sukūnī, who said: Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) said [1]: “No one chokes when drinking milk, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: ‘pure milk, easy and agreeable to swallow for those who drink.’”

/6071 _3- علي بن إبراهيم، قال: قوله: وَ مِنْ ثَمَرٰاتِ النَّخِيلِ وَ الْأَعْنٰابِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَراً قال: الخل وَ رِزْقاً حَسَناً قال: الزبيب.

/6071 _3- ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm said regarding His saying: “And from the fruits of the date-palms and the grapes—you derive therefrom sakar”: He said, “vinegar”; “and a goodly provision”: He said, “raisins.”

99-/6072 _4- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ نُوحاً(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) أَنْ يَحْمِلَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ. فَحَمَلَ الْفَحْلَ [2] وَ الْعَجْوَةَ [3]، فَكَانَا زَوْجاً، فَلَمَّا نَضَبَ الْمَاءُ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ نُوحاً أَنْ يَغْرِسَ الْحَبَلَةَ وَ هِيَ الْكَرْمُ، فَأَتَاهُ إِبْلِيسُ فَمَنَعَهُ مِنْ غَرْسِهَا، وَ أَبَى نُوحٌ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) إِلاَّ أَنْ يَغْرِسَهَا، وَ أَبَى إِبْلِيسُ أَنْ يَدَعَهُ يَغْرِسُهَا، وَ قَالَ: لَيْسَتْ لَكَ وَ لاَ لِأَصْحَابِكَ، إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِي وَ لِأَصْحَابِي فَتَنَازَعَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ. ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا اصْطَلَحَا عَلَى أَنْ جَعَلَ نُوحٌ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) لِإِبْلِيسَ ثُلُثَيْهَا وَ لِنُوحٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ثُلُثَهَا، وَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ لِنَبِيِّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) فِي كِتَابِهِ مَا قَدْ قَرَأْتُمُوهُ: وَ مِنْ ثَمَرٰاتِ النَّخِيلِ وَ الْأَعْنٰابِ تَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْهُ سَكَراً وَ رِزْقاً حَسَناً فَكَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ [يَشْرَبُونَ] [4] بِذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّحْرِيمِ، هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ: إِنَّمَا الْخَمْرُ وَ الْمَيْسِرُ وَ الْأَنْصٰابُ وَ الْأَزْلاٰمُ -إِلَى- مُنْتَهُونَ [5] يَا سَعِيدُ، فَهَذِهِ آيَةُ التَّحْرِيمِ، وَ هِيَ نَسَخَتِ الْآيَةَ الْأُخْرَى».

99-/6072 Al-ʿAyyāshī: from Saʿīd ibn Yasār, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: “Allah commanded Nūḥ (peace be upon him) to carry in the Ark two of every kind. So he carried the male palm [2] and the ʿajwa date [3], and they were a pair. When the water subsided, Allah commanded Nūḥ to plant the habala—which is the vine. Iblīs came to him and prevented him from planting it, but Nūḥ insisted on planting it, while Iblīs refused to let him, saying: ‘It is not for you nor your companions; it is only for me and my companions.’ They disputed as long as Allah willed. Then they reconciled that Nūḥ would assign two-thirds of it to Iblīs and one-third to Nūḥ. And Allah had revealed to His Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) in His Book what you have recited: ‘And from the fruits of the date-palms and the grapes, you derive therefrom sakar and a goodly provision’; so the Muslims [used to drink] [4] thereby. Then Allah sent down the verse of prohibition—this verse: ‘Surely intoxicants and games of chance and (sacrificing on) stone altars and (divining by) arrows...—to—will you then desist?’ [5] O Saʿīd, this is the verse of prohibition, and it abrogated the other verse.”

قوله تعالى:

وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبٰالِ بُيُوتاً وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ مِمّٰا يَعْرِشُونَ ثُمَّ كُلِي مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰاتِ فَاسْلُكِي سُبُلَ رَبِّكِ ذُلُلًا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهٰا شَرٰابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ فِيهِ شِفٰاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ [68-69]

“And your Lord revealed to the bee: Make hives in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build. Then eat of all the fruits and walk in the ways of your Lord submissively. There comes forth from within them a beverage of many colors, in which there is healing for men; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who reflect.”

99-/6073 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ. قَالَ: «نَحْنُ النَّحْلُ الَّذِي أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا: أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتاً أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَتَّخِذَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ شِيعَةً وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ يَقُولُ: مِنَ الْعَجَمِ وَ مِمّٰا يَعْرِشُونَ مِنَ الْمَوَالِي، وَ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهٰا شَرٰابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنَّا إِلَيْكُمْ».

99-/6073 _1- ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm said: My father narrated to me, from al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī al-Washshāʾ, from a man, from Ḥarīz ibn ʿAbd Allāh, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), regarding His saying: “And your Lord revealed to the bee.” He said: “We are the ‘bee’ to whom Allah revealed: ‘Make your homes in the mountains’—He commanded us to take from the Arabs as followers (Shīʿa); ‘and in the trees’—that is, from the non-Arabs; ‘and from what they build’—from the freed-clients (mawālī). And ‘that which comes forth from their bellies, a beverage of diverse colors’—is the knowledge that comes from us to you.”

99-/6074 _2- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبٰالِ بُيُوتاً وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ مِمّٰا يَعْرِشُونَ إِلَى إِنَّ فِي ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ: «فَالنَّحْلُ: الْأَئِمَّةُ، وَ الْجِبَالُ: اَلْعَرَبُ، وَ الشَّجَرُ: اَلْمَوَالِي عَتَاقَةً، وَ مِمَّا يَعْرِشُونَ: يَعْنِي الْأَوْلاَدَ وَ الْعَبِيدَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يُعْتَقْ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ. وَ الثَّمَرَاتُ الْمُخْتَلِفُ أَلْوَانُهَا: فُنُونُ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي قَدْ يُعَلِّمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ شِيعَتَهُمْ: فِيهِ شِفٰاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ يَقُولُ: فِي الْعِلْمِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ، وَ الشِّيعَةُ هُمُ النَّاسُ، وَ غَيْرُهُمْ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ مَا هُمْ». قَالَ: «وَ لَوْ كَانَ كَمَا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ الْعَسَلُ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ النَّاسُ، إِذَنْ مَا أَكَلَ مِنْهُ وَ لاَ شَرِبَ ذُو عَاهَةٍ إِلاَّ بَرِئَ، لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ: فِيهِ شِفٰاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ وَ لاَ خُلْفَ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ، وَ إِنَّمَا الشِّفَاءُ فِي عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ، لِقَوْلِهِ: وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مٰا هُوَ شِفٰاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ [1] فَهُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِأَهْلِهِ لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِ وَ لاَ مِرْيَةَ، وَ أَهْلُهُ: أَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَى الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ: ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتٰابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنٰا مِنْ عِبٰادِنٰا» [2].

99-/6074 _2- Al-ʿAyyāshī: from Masʿadah ibn Ṣadaqah, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), regarding His saying: “And your Lord revealed to the bee... up to ‘surely in that is a sign for a people who reflect’”: “The ‘bee’ are the Imāms; the ‘mountains’ are the Arabs; the ‘trees’ are the freed-clients; and ‘what they build’ means the children and the slaves who have not been manumitted, yet who show loyalty to Allah, His Messenger, and the Imāms. And the ‘fruits of different colors’ are the varieties of knowledge that the Imāms teach their Shīʿa: ‘in it is healing for mankind’—that is, in knowledge there is healing for mankind; and the Shīʿa are ‘mankind,’ and as for others, Allah knows best what they are.” He said: “If it were as is claimed—that it is the honey which people eat—then no one afflicted who ate or drank it would fail to be cured, because Allah says: ‘in it is healing for mankind,’ and there is no untruth in Allah’s word. Rather, the healing is in the knowledge of the Qurʾān, as He says: ‘And We reveal of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers’ [1]—so it is healing and mercy for its people, without doubt or dispute; and its people are the Imāms of guidance, about whom Allah said: ‘Then We made the Book to be inherited by those whom We chose from among Our servants’” [2].

99-/6075 _3- وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ الشَّامِيِّ، عَنْهُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ فَقَالَ: «رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)» أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبٰالِ بُيُوتاً قَالَ: «تَزَوَّجْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ» وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ قَالَ: «فِي الْعَرَبِ» وَ مِمّٰا يَعْرِشُونَ، قَالَ: «فِي الْمَوَالِي» يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهٰا شَرٰابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ قَالَ: «أَنْوَاعُ الْعِلْمِ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنَّاسِ».

99-/6075 _3- And in the narration of Abū al-Rabīʿ al-Shāmī from him (peace be upon him) regarding Allah’s saying: “And your Lord revealed to the bee,” he said: “The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family).” “‘Make your homes in the mountains’”—he said: “Marry from Quraysh”; “‘and in the trees’”—he said: “among the Arabs”; “‘and from what they build’”—he said: “among the freed-clients.” “‘There comes forth from them a beverage of diverse colors’”—he said: “kinds of knowledge, in which there is healing for mankind.”

99-/6076 _4- ابْنُ شَهْرَ آشُوبٍ: عَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: «قَالَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ): عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ [1]، فَسُمِّيَ أَمِيرَ النَّحْلِ».

99-/6076 _4- Ibn Shahr Āshūb: from al-Riḍā (peace be upon him) regarding this verse: “The Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) said: ‘ʿAlī is the Amīr of Banī Hāshim’ [1]; thus he was called ‘Amīr al-Naḥl (Commander of the Bee).’”

99-/6077 _5- (أَغَانِي أَبِي الْفَرَجِ): فِي حَدِيثٍ، أَنَّ الْمُعَلَّى بْنَ طَرِيفٍ قَالَ: مَا عِنْدَكُمْ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ؟ فَقَالَ بَشَّارُ بْنُ بُرْدٍ: اَلنَّحْلُ الْمَعْهُودُ. قَالَ: هَيْهَاتَ، يَا أَبَا مُعَاذٍ، النَّحْلُ: بَنُو هَاشِمٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهٰا شَرٰابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ يَعْنِي الْعِلْمَ.

99-/6077 _5- (Aghānī Abī al-Faraj): In a report, al-Muʿallā ibn Ṭarīf said: “What do you hold regarding His saying, exalted is He: ‘And your Lord revealed to the bee’?” Bashshār ibn Burd said: “The bee that is commonly known.” He replied: “Far from it, Abā Muʿādh! The ‘bee’ are Banū Hāshim; ‘there comes forth from them a beverage of diverse colors, in which there is healing for mankind’—meaning, knowledge.”

99-/6078 _6- الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الدَّيْلَمِيُّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ أَنِ اتَّخِذِي مِنَ الْجِبٰالِ بُيُوتاً وَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ مِمّٰا يَعْرِشُونَ. قَالَ: «مَا بَلَغَ بِالنَّحْلِ أَنْ يُوحَى إِلَيْهَا، بَلْ فِينَا نَزَلَتْ، وَ نَحْنُ النَّحْلُ، وَ نَحْنُ الْمُقِيمُونَ لِلَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ بِأَمْرِهِ، وَ الْجِبَالُ: شِيعَتُنَا، وَ الشَّجَرُ: اَلنِّسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتُ».

99-/6078 _6- Al-Ḥasan ibn Abī al-Ḥasan al-Daylamī, with his chain, from Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) regarding His saying, Mighty and Majestic: “And your Lord revealed to the bee: Make your homes in the mountains and in the trees and in what they build.” He said: “It has not reached the level that revelation would be sent to the bees; rather, it was revealed concerning us, and we are the ‘bee’; and we are those established for Allah in His land by His command. And the ‘mountains’ are our Shīʿa; and the ‘trees’ are the believing women.”

99-/6079 _7- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: وَ أَوْحىٰ رَبُّكَ إِلَى النَّحْلِ قَالَ: «إِلْهَامٌ».

99-/6079 _7- Al-ʿAyyāshī: from Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf, from his father, who said: I asked Abā Jaʿfar (peace be upon him) about Allah’s saying: “And your Lord revealed to the bee.” He said: “Inspiration (ilhām).”

99-/6080 _8- عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: «لَعْقَةُ الْعَسَلِ فِيهَا شِفَاءٌ، قَالَ: مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ فِيهِ شِفٰاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ».

99-/6080 _8- From Abū Baṣīr, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: “A lick of honey contains healing,” and he recited: “‘of diverse colors; in it is healing for mankind.’”

99-/6081 _9- عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ، فَسَأَلَهُ شَيْخٌ، فَقَالَ: بِي وَجَعٌ وَ أَنَا أَشْرَبُ لَهُ النَّبِيذَ، وَ وَصَفَهُ لِي الشَّيْخُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ: «مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ؟» قَالَ: لاَ يُوَافِقُنِي. قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ؟ قَالَ اللَّهُ: فِيهِ شِفٰاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ» قَالَ: لاَ أَجِدُهُ. قَالَ: «فَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ الَّذِي نَبَتَ مِنْهُ لَحْمُكَ، وَ اشْتَدَّ عَظْمُكَ». قَالَ: لاَ يُوَافِقُنِي. فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «أَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ آمُرَكَ بِشُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ؟! لاَ وَ اللَّهِ، لاَ آمُرُكَ».

99-/6081 _9- From Sayf ibn ʿAmīrah, from an elder among our companions, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: We were with him when an old man asked him: “I have an ailment and I drink nabīdh for it, as an elder prescribed to me.” He said to him: “What prevents you from water, from which Allah made every living thing?” He said: “It does not agree with me.” Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) said to him: “Then what prevents you from honey? Allah said: ‘In it is healing for mankind.’” He said: “I cannot find it.” He said: “Then what prevents you from milk, from which your flesh grew and your bones became strong?” He said: “It does not agree with me.” So Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) said to him: “Do you want me to command you to drink wine? By Allah, I will never command you to do that!”

99-/6082 _10- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: «قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): لَعْقَةُ [2] الْعَسَلِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ، قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بُطُونِهٰا شَرٰابٌ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوٰانُهُ فِيهِ شِفَاءٌ لِلنّٰاسِ وَ هُوَ مَعَ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ مَضْغِ اللُّبَانِ [1]، يُذِيبُ الْبَلْغَمَ».

99-/6082 _10- Muhammad ibn Yaʿqūb: from Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad, from al-Qāsim ibn Yaḥyā, from his grandfather al-Ḥasan ibn Rāshid, from Muḥammad ibn Muslim, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), who said: “The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said: ‘A lick [2] of honey is a cure for every illness. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: “There comes forth from within them a beverage of many colors, in which there is healing for men.”’ Together with the recitation of the Qurʾān and chewing frankincense [1], it dissolves phlegm.”

قوله تعالى:

وَ اللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفّٰاكُمْ وَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلىٰ أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ [70]

“And Allah has created you, then He causes you to die; and of you is he who is brought back to the worst part of life, so that he knows nothing after having known (something); surely Allah is Knowing, Powerful.”

99-/6083 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ [2](عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) قَالَ: «إِذَا بَلَغَ الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ فَذَلِكَ أَرْذَلُ الْعُمُرِ».

99-/6083 _1- ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm said: Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, who said: Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad narrated to us, from al-ʿAbbās, from Ibn Abī Najrān, from Muḥammad ibn al-Qāsim, from ʿAlī ibn al-Mughīrah, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh [2] (peace be upon him), who said: “When a servant reaches one hundred years, that is the worst part of life.”

99-/6084 _2- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ: رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «إِنَّ أَرْذَلَ الْعُمُرِ خَمْسٌ وَ سَبْعُونَ سَنَةً». وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ.

99-/6084 _2- Al-Ṭabrisī: It is narrated from ʿAlī (peace be upon him): “The worst part of life is seventy-five years.” And similarly is narrated from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family).

لِكَيْ لاٰ يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئاً - إِلى قوله تعالى - وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَزْوٰاجِكُمْ بَنِينَ وَ حَفَدَةً [70-72]

Reference: an-Nahl 16:70-72 (M. H. Shakir)

“So that he may not have knowledge of anything after (once) having knowledge (of it); surely Allah is Knowing, Powerful. And Allah has made for you mates from yourselves, and has given you sons and grandsons from your mates, and has given you of the goodly things; is it then in the falsehood that they believe while it is in the favor of Allah that they disbelieve?”

/6085 _3- علي بن إبراهيم، في قوله تعالى: لِكَيْ لاٰ يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئاً قال: إذا كبر لا يعلم ما علمه قبل ذلك. ثم قال: قوله: وَ اللّٰهُ فَضَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلىٰ بَعْضٍ فِي الرِّزْقِ فَمَا الَّذِينَ فُضِّلُوا بِرَادِّي رِزْقِهِمْ عَلىٰ مٰا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمٰانُهُمْ فَهُمْ فِيهِ سَوٰاءٌ قال: لا يجوز للرجل أن يختص نفسه بشيء من المأكول دون عياله. قال: قوله: وَ اللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَزْوٰاجاً يعني حواء خلقت من آدم(عليه السلام) وَ حَفَدَةً قال: الأختان.

/6085 _3- ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm, regarding His saying: “So that he may not have knowledge of anything after having had knowledge”: He said, “When he grows old, he does not know what he had known before.” Then he said regarding His saying: “Allah has favored some of you over others in provision; but those who have been favored will not hand over their provision to those whom their right hands possess so that they would be equal in it”: He said, “It is not permissible for a man to single himself out with something of food to the exclusion of his dependents.” He said regarding His saying: “And Allah has made for you mates from your own selves”: He means Ḥawwāʾ was created from Ādam (peace be upon him). “And grandsons”: He said, “sons-in-law.”

99-/6086 _4- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ: فِي مَعْنَى الْحَفَدَةِ: هُمْ أَخْتَانُ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى بَنَاتِهِ. قَالَ: وَ هُوَ الْمَرْوِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي

99-/6086 _4- Al-Ṭabrisī: Regarding the meaning of “ḥafadah”: they are a man’s sons-in-law over his daughters. He said: And this is what is narrated from Abī—
