Al-Isra Ayah 82

الإسراء آيه 82

And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust. (Al-Isra 17:82, M. H. Shakir)

آخِرِهَا أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا عُضْواً مِنَ أَعْضَائِي مَا قَدَرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ،وَ لَكِنْ ادْنُ مِنِّي يَا عَلِيُّ؛-قَالَ-فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى سَاقِي فَأَقْلَعَنِي مِنَ الْأَرْضِ،وَ انْتَصَبَ بِي فَإِذَا أَنَا عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ،فَقَالَ لِي:يَا عَلِيُّ،سَمِّ وَ خُذْهُ،فَأَخَذْتُ الصَّنَمَ فَضَرَبْتُ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ،فَتَفَتَّتَ ثَلاَثاً.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ):يَا عَلِيُّ،مَا تَرَى وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كَتِفِي؟قُلْتُ:خَيْراً-فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي،يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ-لَوْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَمَسَّ السَّمَاءَ بِيَدِي لَقَدَرْتُ،فَقَالَ لِي:يَا عَلِيُّ،زَادَكَ اللَّهُ شَرَفاً إِلَى شَرَفِكَ.

ثُمَّ انْحَسَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِي فَوَقَعْتُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ ضَحِكْتُ،فَقَالَ:مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا عَلِيُّ؟فَقُلْتُ:فِدَاكَ أَبِي أُمِّي- يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ-وَقَعْتُ مِنْ أَعْلَى الْكَعْبَةِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَلَمْ أَتَأَلَّمْ مِنَ الْوَقْعِ.فَقَالَ:يَا عَلِيُّ،كَيْفَ تَتَأَلَّمُ وَ قَدْ حَمَلَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ، وَ أَنْزَلَكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

وَ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَفْتَخِرُ:أَنَا سَيِّدُ قُرَيْشٍ وَ أَكْرَمُهَا حَسَباً،وَ أَفْخَرُهَا مَرْكَباً،وَ بِيَدِي سِقَايَةُ الْحَاجِّ لاَ يَلِيهَا غَيْرِي.فَقَالَ شَيْبَةُ:لاَ،بَلْ أَنَا سَيِّدُ قُرَيْشٍ،وَ بِيَدِي سِدَانَةُ الْكَعْبَةِ لاَ يَلِيهَا غَيْرِي.فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):أَبْغَضْتُمَانِي بِمَقَالَتِكُمَا،أَنَا سَيِّدُكُمَا،وَ سَيِّدُ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،أَنَا الَّذِي ضَرَبْتُ وُجُوهَكُمَا حَتَّى آمَنْتُمَا وَ أَقْرَرْتُمَا أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)».فَغَضِبَا مِنْ قَوْلِهِ،وَ أَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)لَهُمَا،فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)وَ قَالَ:يَا مُحَمَّدُ،الْحَقُّ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلاَمَ،وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ:قُلْ لِشَيْبَةَ وَ الْعَبَّاسِ: أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقٰايَةَ الْحٰاجِّ وَ عِمٰارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرٰامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جٰاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ لاٰ يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ [1]الْآيَةَ-يَا مُحَمَّدُ-عَلِيٌّ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُمَا».

The last of it was that they would carry off a limb of mine if they could, but they were unable to do so. Then he said, “Come near to me, O Ali.” He [Ali] said: I drew near to him, and he struck his hand to my shin and lifted me up from the ground; he stood upright with me, and suddenly I was upon his shoulders. He said to me, “O Ali, mention the Name and take it.” So I took the idol and hurled it to the ground, and it shattered into pieces three times.

Then the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) said: “O Ali, what do you see while you are upon my shoulders?” I said, “Good—may my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah. If I wished to touch the sky with my hand, I would have been able to.” He said to me, “O Ali, may Allah increase your honor upon your honor.”

Then he lowered me from beneath, and I fell to the ground and laughed. He said, “What makes you laugh, O Ali?” I said, “May my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah. I fell from the top of the Ka‘bah to the ground, yet I did not feel pain from the fall.” He said, “O Ali, how could you feel pain when Muhammad carried you, and Gabriel (peace be upon him) set you down?”

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) went on his way. Then al-‘Abbas boasted: “I am the chief of Quraysh, the most noble of them in lineage, the most splendid in mount, and in my hand is the watering of the pilgrims; none besides me oversees it.” Shaybah said: “No; rather I am the chief of Quraysh, and in my hand is the custodianship of the Ka‘bah; none besides me oversees it.” Ali (peace be upon him) said: “You have made me detest you both with your words. I am your chief, and the chief of the people of the earth after the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family). I am the one who struck your faces until you believed and acknowledged that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family).” They became angry at his words and came to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and his family) and informed him of what Ali (peace be upon him) had said to them. Gabriel (peace be upon him) descended and said: “O Muhammad, The Truth conveys to you greetings of peace and says to you: Say to Shaybah and al-‘Abbas: ‘Do you make the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram like him who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives hard in the way of Allah? They are not equal with Allah’ [1]—O Muhammad—Ali is better than both of them.”

أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقٰايَةَ الْحٰاجِّ وَ عِمٰارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرٰامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جٰاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّٰهِ لاٰ يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ [1]

What! do you make the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the last day and strives hard in Allah’s way? They are not equal with Allah. (Al-Tawbah 9:19, M. H. Shakir)

99-/6532 _7- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ حَمْدَوَيْهِ،عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ،عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) عَنِ اللَّعِبِ بِالشِّطْرَنْجِ؟فَقَالَ:«الشِّطْرَنْجُ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ».

Al-‘Ayyashi: From Hamdawayh, from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid, from some of our companions, who said: I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) about playing chess. He said: “Chess is of falsehood.”

قوله تعالى:

وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مٰا هُوَ شِفٰاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لاٰ يَزِيدُ الظّٰالِمِينَ إِلاّٰ خَسٰاراً [82]

And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust. (Al-Isra 17:82, M. H. Shakir)

99-/6533 _1- عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا الشِّفَاءُ فِي عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ،لِقَوْلِهِ: مٰا هُوَ شِفٰاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِأَهْلِهِ،لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِ وَ لاَ مِرْيَةَ،فَأَهْلُهُ أَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَى الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ

From Mas‘adah ibn Sadaqah, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “Surely the healing lies in the knowledge of the Quran, for His saying: ‘what is a healing and a mercy to the believers’—for its people, without doubt or uncertainty. And its people are the Imams of guidance about whom Allah said:

ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتٰابَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنٰا مِنْ عِبٰادِنٰا [1] .

Then We gave the Book for an inheritance to those whom We chose from among Our servants. (Fatir 35:32, M. H. Shakir)

99-/6534 _2- عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ،رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَ لاٰ يَزِيدُ الظّٰالِمِينَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ إِلاّٰ خَسٰاراً ».

From Muhammad ibn Abi Hamzah, raising it to Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), who said: “Gabriel descended upon Muhammad (may Allah bless him and his family) with this verse: ‘and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust’—[meaning] those who wrong the Family of Muhammad in their right.”

99-/6535 _3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيُّ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ،عَنِ ابْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ،عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مٰا هُوَ شِفٰاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لاٰ يَزِيدُ الظّٰالِمِينَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَقَّهُمْ إِلاّٰ خَسٰاراً ».

Muhammad ibn al-‘Abbas said: Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqi narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al-Sayrafi, from Ibn al-Fudayl, from Abu Hamzah, from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), who said regarding: “And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust”—[that is] those who wrong the Family of Muhammad in their right.”

99-/6536 _4- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعَلَوِيِّ،عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ دواد [دَاوُدَ] ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى،عَنْ أَبِيهِ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مٰا هُوَ شِفٰاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لاٰ يَزِيدُ الظّٰالِمِينَ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلاّٰ خَسٰاراً ».

And from him, he said: Muhammad ibn Hammam narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il al-‘Alawi, from ‘Isa ibn Dawud, from Abu al-Hasan Musa, from his father (peace be upon them), who said: “This verse was revealed: ‘And We reveal of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers, and it adds only to the perdition of the unjust’—[meaning] those who wrong the Family of Muhammad.”

قوله تعالى:

قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلىٰ شٰاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدىٰ سَبِيلاً [84]

Say: Every one acts according to his manner; but your Lord best knows who is best guided in the path. (Al-Isra 17:84, M. H. Shakir)

99-/6537 _5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ،عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ:قَالَ: «النِّيَّةُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ،أَلاَ وَ إِنَّ النِّيَّةَ هِيَ الْعَمَلُ،ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قَوْلَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلىٰ شٰاكِلَتِهِ يَعْنِي عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ».

Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub: From ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from al-Minqari, from Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “Intention is superior to deed. Lo, indeed intention is the deed itself.” Then he recited His Mighty and Majestic word: “Say: Every one acts according to his manner”—meaning, according to his intention.

99-/6538 _6- وَ عَنْهُ:عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ،قَالَ:قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «إِنَّمَا خُلِّدَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ فِي النَّارِ لِأَنَّ نِيَّاتِهِمْ كَانَتْ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَنْ لَوْ خُلِّدُوا فِيهَا أَنْ يَعْصُوا اللَّهَ أَبَداً،وَ إِنَّمَا خُلِّدَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ لِأَنَّ نِيَّاتِهِمْ كَانَتْ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَنْ لَوْ بَقُوا فِيهَا أَنْ يُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ أَبَداً، فَبِالنِّيَّاتِ خُلِّدَ هَؤُلاَءِ وَ هَؤُلاَءِ».ثُمَّ تَلاَ قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى: قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلىٰ شٰاكِلَتِهِ قَالَ:«عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ».

And from him: From ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, from al-Minqari, from Ahmad ibn Yunus, from Abu Hashim, who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said: “The people of the Fire are made to abide in the Fire only because their intentions in the world were that, if they were to abide in it forever, they would disobey Allah forever. And the people of the Garden are made to abide in the Garden only because their intentions in the world were that, if they were to remain in it, they would obey Allah forever. So by intentions these are made to abide and those are made to abide.” Then he recited His saying, exalted is He: “Say: Every one acts according to his manner,” and he said: “According to his intention.”

99-/6539 _7- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ:

«إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أُوقِفَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ،فَيَكُونُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَلَّى حِسَابَهُ،فَيَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ عَمَلَهُ فِي صَحِيفَتِهِ،فَأَوَّلُ

‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: My father narrated to me, from Ja‘far ibn Ibrahim, from Abu al-Hasan al-Rida (peace be upon him), who said: “When the Day of Resurrection comes, the believer will be made to stand before Him, and he himself will undertake his own reckoning. His deeds will be presented to him in his record. The first…”
