بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ* فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَ هُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ* فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ لِلّٰهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ* بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشٰاءُ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ [1-5]

99-/8314 _1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ:عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ،قِرَاءَةً،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُعَلَّى،عَنْ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ،عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ،عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ،عَنْ عَبَايَةَ،عَنْ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ

جَلَّ: الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ هِيَ فِينَا،وَ فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ».

99-/8314 _1- Muhammad ibn al-‘Abbas, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sa‘id, from al-Hasan ibn al-Qasim (as a reading), from ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Mu‘alla, from al-Fudayl ibn Ishaq, from Ya‘qub ibn Shu‘ayb, from ‘Imran ibn Maytham, from ‘Abayah, from ‘Ali (peace be upon him), who said: "His (Glorious and Exalted is He) saying: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans are vanquished – it refers to us and to Banu Umayyah."

/8315 _2-وعَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ الْقُمِّيُّ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ الْوَشَّاءِ،عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ: الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ ،قَالَ:«هُمْ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ،وَ إِنَّمَا أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَ هُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ * فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ لِلّٰهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ* بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِ عِنْدَ قِيَامِ الْقَائِمِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

/8315 _2- And from him, he said: Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn Jumhur al-Qummi narrated to us, from his father, from Ja‘far ibn Bashir al-Washsha’, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: "I asked him about the interpretation of: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans are vanquished. He said: 'They are Banu Umayyah. Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans are vanquished – Banu Umayyah – in a near land, and they, after being vanquished, shall overcome within a few years. Allah’s is the command before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice with the help of Allah, at the rise of the Qa’im (peace be upon him).’"

99-/8316 _3- Abu Ja‘far Muhammad ibn Jarir at-Tabari in Musnad Fatimah (peace be upon her), said: Abu al-Mufaddal Muhammad ibn ‘Abdillah narrated to me, he said: Muhammad ibn Hammam narrated to us, he said: Ja‘far ibn Muhammad ibn Malik narrated to us, he said: Ishaq ibn Muhammad ibn Sami‘ narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn al-Walid, from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub, from Abu ‘Abdillah as-Sadiq (peace be upon him), regarding the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic:

99-/8317 _4- صَاحِبُ(ثَاقِبِ الْمَنَاقِبِ):أَسْنَدَهُ إِلَى أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْأَرْمَنِيِّ،قَالَ:

قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): عَرِّفْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: لِلّٰهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ .

فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ،وَ مِنْ بَعْدِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ بِمَا يَشَاءُ».

فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي:هَذَا تَأْوِيلُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: أَلاٰ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبٰارَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰالَمِينَ [1].

فَأَقْبَلَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَلَيَّ،وَ قَالَ:«هُوَ كَمَا أَسْرَرْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ أَلاٰ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبٰارَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰالَمِينَ ».فَقُلْتُ:

أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ،وَ ابْنُ حُجَّتِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ.

99-/8317 _4- The author of Thaqib al-Manaqib narrated it with a chain reaching to Abu Hashim al-Ja‘fari, from Muhammad ibn Salih al-Armani, who said: I said to Abu Muhammad al-Hasan al-‘Askari (peace be upon him): "Explain to me the saying of Allah, the Exalted: To Allah belongs the command before and after." He (peace be upon him) said: "To Allah belongs the command before He commands, and after He commands whatever He wills." I said to myself: This is the interpretation of Allah's saying: "Now surely His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds." [Surat Al-A‘raf 7:54, M. H. Shakir] Then he (peace be upon him) turned to me and said: "It is as you have kept in your heart: Now surely His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, the Lord of the worlds.” I said: I bear witness that you are the proof of Allah and the son of His proof over His servants.

99-/8318 _5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،وَ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا،عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً،عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ،عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ* فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ .

فَقَالَ:«يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ،إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلاً لاَ يَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ،وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)لَمَّا هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَظْهَرَ الْإِسْلاَمَ،كَتَبَ إِلَى مَلِكِ الرُّومِ كِتَاباً،وَ بَعَثَ بِهِ مَعَ رَسُولٍ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلاَمِ،وَ كَتَبَ إِلَى مَلِكِ فَارِسَ كِتَاباً يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلاَمِ،وَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَيْهِ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ،فَأَمَّا مَلِكُ الرُّومِ فَعَظَّمَ كِتَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،وَ أَكْرَمَ رَسُولَهُ،وَ أَمَّا مَلِكُ فَارِسَ فَإِنَّهُ اسْتَخَفَّ بِكِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)وَ مَزَّقَهُ، وَ اسْتَخَفَّ بِرَسُولِهِ.

99-/8318 _5- Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, and a number of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad all together, from Ibn Mahbub, from Jamil ibn Salih, from Abu ‘Ubaydah, who said: I asked Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans are vanquished * in a near land.

He (peace be upon him) said: "O Abu ‘Ubaydah, surely this has an interpretation known only to Allah and the firmly rooted in knowledge from the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). When the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) migrated to Medina and made Islam manifest, he wrote a letter to the king of Rome, sending it with a messenger, inviting him to Islam. And he wrote a letter to the king of Persia, inviting him to Islam, and sent it with his messenger. As for the king of Rome, he honored the letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and respected his messenger. But the king of Persia belittled the letter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), tore it apart, and disrespected his messenger."

وَ كَانَ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يُقَاتِلُ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ،وَ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَهْوَوْنَ أَنْ يَغْلِبَ مَلِكُ الرُّومِ مَلِكَ فَارِسَ،وَ كَانُوا لِنَاحِيَةِ مَلِكِ الرُّومِ أَرْجَى مِنْهُمْ لِمَلِكِ فَارِسَ،فَلَمَّا غَلَبَ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ اغْتَمُّوا بِهِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ كِتَاباً قُرْآناً: الم* غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ* فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي غَلَبَتْهَا فَارِسُ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ،وَ هِيَ الشَّامَاتُ وَ مَا حَوْلَهَا وَ هُمْ يَعْنِي فَارِسَ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ الرُّومَ سَيَغْلِبُونَ يَعْنِي يَغْلِبُهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ لِلّٰهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ* بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشٰاءُ ، فَلَمَّا غَزَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَارِسَ وَ افْتَتَحُوهَا فَرِحَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».

He continued:

*"At that time, the king of Persia was fighting the king of Rome, and the Muslims wished that the king of Rome would overcome the king of Persia. They were more hopeful towards the king of Rome than towards the king of Persia. So, when the king of Persia defeated the king of Rome, the Muslims disliked that and were grieved by it.

Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed regarding that a Book, a Qur'an: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans are vanquished * in a near land, meaning Persia had defeated them in the nearest land, referring to the Levant and its surrounding areas. And they, after being vanquished, shall overcome, meaning that the Muslims will defeat Persia. Within a few years. Allah’s is the command before and after, and on that day the believers shall rejoice * with the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases. So, when the Muslims waged war against Persia and conquered it, the Muslims rejoiced at the help of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."*

قَالَ:قُلْتُ:أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ: فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ ،وَ قَدْ مَضَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ سِنُونَ كَثِيرَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،وَ فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ،وَ إِنَّمَا غَلَبَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَارِسَ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ؟ فَقَالَ:«أَ لَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلاً وَ تَفْسِيراً،وَ الْقُرْآنُ-يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ-نَاسِخٌ وَ مَنْسُوخٌ،أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِ

اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: لِلّٰهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ ؟يَعْنِي إِلَيْهِ الْمَشِيئَةُ فِي الْقَوْلِ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ مَا قَدَّمَ،وَ يُقَدِّمَ مَا أَخَّرَ فِي الْقَوْلِ إِلَى يَوْمٍ يُحْتَمُ الْقَضَاءُ بِنُزُولِ النَّصْرِ فِيهِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ،فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ* بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِ ،يَوْمَ يُحْتَمُ الْقَضَاءُ بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ».

He said:

I asked: "Does not Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, say: Within a few years, and indeed many years had already passed for the believers during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and during the rule of Abu Bakr, while the Muslims only defeated Persia during the rule of ‘Umar?"

He (peace be upon him) replied: "Did I not tell you that this has an interpretation and explanation? O Abu ‘Ubaydah, the Qur’an contains abrogating and abrogated verses. Do you not hear the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: To Allah belongs the command before and after? It means that to Him belongs the will concerning the matter — to delay what He brings forward and to bring forward what He delays in His word — until the day when the judgment is finalized with the descent of victory upon the believers. That is His saying, the Mighty and Majestic: And on that day the believers shall rejoice * with the help of Allah, meaning the day when the decree is finalized with Allah’s victory."

99-/8319 _6- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ(رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ)،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ،عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ،عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ،عَنْ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ،عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ جَدِّهِ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ:«قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ): خُلِقَ نُورُ فَاطِمَةَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُخْلَقَ الْأَرْضُ وَ السَّمَاءُ.فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ:يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،فَلَيْسَتْ هِيَ إِنْسِيَّةً؟فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):فَاطِمَةُ حَوْرَاءُ إِنْسِيَّةٌ.قَالُوا:يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،وَ كَيْفَ هِيَ حَوْرَاءُ إِنْسِيَّةٌ؟قَالَ:خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ نُورٍ [1] قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ آدَمَ،إِذْ كَانَتِ الْأَرْوَاحُ،فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَى آدَمَ.

99-/8319 _6- Ibn Babawayh said: Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us, he said: ‘Abdullah ibn Ja‘far al-Himyari narrated to us, from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid, he said: Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faddal narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj, from Sadeer as-Sayrafi, from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq, from his father, from his grandfather (peace be upon them), who said:

"The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: The light of Fatimah was created before the creation of the earth and the sky."

Some people asked: "O Prophet of Allah, is she then not a human?"

He (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Fatimah is a heavenly human (ḥawrā’ insiyyah)."

They asked: "O Messenger of Allah, and how is she a heavenly human?"

He said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created her from light before He created Adam, when the souls were (created). So when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created Adam, He presented her to Adam."

قِيلَ:يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،وَ أَيْنَ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ؟قَالَ:كَانَتْ فِي حُقَّةٍ تَحْتَ سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ.قَالُوا:يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ،فَمَا كَانَ طَعَامُهَا؟قَالَ:اَلتَّسْبِيحُ،وَ التَّهْلِيلُ،وَ التَّحْمِيدُ،فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ،وَ أَخْرَجَنِي مِنْ صُلْبِهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهَا مِنْ صُلْبِي،جَعَلَهَا تُفَّاحَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ،وَ آتَانِي بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فَقَالَ لِي:اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ،يَا مُحَمَّدُ.قُلْتُ:وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلاَمُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ،حَبِيبِي جَبْرَئِيلُ.فَقَالَ:يَا مُحَمَّدُ،إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلاَمَ.قُلْتُ:

مِنْهُ السَّلاَمُ،وَ إِلَيْهِ يَعُودُ السَّلاَمُ.قَالَ:يَا مُحَمَّدُ،إِنَّ هَذِهِ التُّفَّاحَةَ،أَهْدَاهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ.فَأَخَذْتُهَا، وَ ضَمَمْتُهَا إِلَى صَدْرِي.قَالَ:يَا مُحَمَّدُ،يَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ:كُلْهَا.فَفَلَقْتُهَا،فَرَأَيْتُ نُوراً سَاطِعاً،فَفَزِعْتُ مِنْهُ،فَقَالَ:مَا لَكَ-يَا مُحَمَّدُ-لاَ تَأْكُلْ؟كُلْهَا وَ لاَ تَخَفْ،فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ لِلْمَنْصُورَةِ فِي السَّمَاءِ،وَ هِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاطِمَةُ.قُلْتُ:

حَبِيبِي جَبْرَئِيلُ،وَ لِمَ سُمِّيَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ الْمَنْصُورَةَ،وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاطِمَةَ؟قَالَ:سُمِّيَتْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاطِمَةَ لِأَنَّهَا فَطَمَتْ شِيعَتَهَا مِنَ النَّارِ،وَ فُطِمَ أَعْدَاؤُهَا مِنْ حُبِّهَا،وَ هِيَ فِي السَّمَاءِ الْمَنْصُورَةُ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ* بِنَصْرِ اللّٰهِ يَعْنِي نَصْرِ اللَّهِ لِمُحِبِّيهَا».

It was asked: "O Prophet of Allah, where was Fatimah?" He said: "She was in a case beneath the leg of the Throne." They asked: "O Prophet of Allah, what was her sustenance?" He replied: "Glorification (tasbīḥ), declaration of the oneness of Allah (tahlīl), and praise (taḥmīd)." Then, when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, created Adam and brought me forth from his loins, Allah wished to bring her forth from my loins. He made her into an apple in Paradise and Jibra’il (peace be upon him) brought it to me. He said to me: "Peace be upon you, O Muhammad, and Allah’s mercy and blessings." I said: "And peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy, my beloved Jibra’il." He said: "O Muhammad, your Lord sends you peace." I said: "From Him is peace, and to Him returns peace." He said: "O Muhammad, this apple is gifted to you by Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, from Paradise." So I took it and pressed it to my chest. He said: "O Muhammad, Allah, Glorious and Majestic, says: Eat it." I split it open, and I saw a radiant light emanating from it. I became frightened by it. He said: "Why do you not eat, O Muhammad? Eat it and do not fear, for that light belongs to the Victorious One (al-Manṣūrah) in the heavens, and she is Fatimah on the earth." I said: "My beloved Jibra’il, why is she called al-Manṣūrah (the Victorious) in the heavens and Fatimah on the earth?" He replied: "She is called Fatimah on the earth because she has separated (faṭamat) her followers from the Fire, and her enemies are cut off from her love. And she is al-Manṣūrah in the heavens." And that is His saying, the Mighty and Majestic: "And on that day the believers shall rejoice * with the help of Allah." Meaning: Allah’s help for her lovers.

الْكُلَيْنِيِّ.
