S 55 Ayat 60
قوله تعالى:
هَلْ جَزٰاءُ الْإِحْسٰانِ إِلاَّ الْإِحْسٰانُ [60]
"Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?"
99-/10349 _1- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ،عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ،عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ،عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ،عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ)،قَالَ: «جَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،فَسَأَلَهُ أَعْلَمُهُمْ،فَقَالَ لَهُ:أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ:سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ،وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،وَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ،وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ):عَلِمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّ بَنِي آدَمَ يَكْذِبُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ،فَقَالَ:سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ،بَرَاءَةً [1]مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ،
99-/10349 – Ibn Bābawayh reported: Muḥammad ibn ʿAlī Mājīlawayh narrated from his uncle Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Qāsim, from Aḥmad ibn Abī ʿAbdillāh al-Barqī, from Abū al-Ḥasan ʿAlī ibn al-Ḥusayn al-Barqī, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Jabalah, from Muʿāwiyah ibn ʿAmmār, from al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAbdillāh, from his father, from his grandfather al-Ḥasan ibn ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon them), who said:
A group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), and the most knowledgeable among them questioned him. He said: “Inform me of the explanation of: Subḥān Allāh, al-ḥamdu lillāh, lā ilāha illā Allāh, Allāhu Akbar.”
The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) replied: “Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, knew that the children of Ādam would fabricate lies about Allah, so He said: ‘Subḥān Allāh’, as a declaration of His transcendence from what they say...”
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،فَإِنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَنَّ الْعِبَادَ لاَ يُؤَدُّونَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِهِ،فَحَمِدَ نَفْسَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْمَدَهُ الْعِبَادُ،وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ كَلاَمٍ، لَوْ لاَ ذَلِكَ لَمَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بِنِعْمَةٍ وَ قَوْلُهُ:لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ،يَعْنِي وَحْدَانِيَّتَهُ،لاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ الْأَعْمَالَ إِلاَّ بِهَا، وَ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوَى يُثَقِّلَ [2]اللَّهُ بِهَا الْمَوَازِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ،وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ،فَهِيَ كَلِمَةٌ أَعْلَى الْكَلِمَاتِ وَ أَحَبُّهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ،يَعْنِي لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ،وَ لاَ تَصِحُّ [3]الصَّلاَةُ، إِلاَّ بِهَا لِكَرَامَتِهَا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ،وَ هُوَ الاِسْمُ الْأَعَزُّ الْأَكْرَمُ.
99-/10349 – And as for His saying: “al-ḥamdu lillāh” (All praise is due to Allah), He knew that the servants would not be able to render due thanks for His blessings, so He praised Himself before the servants could praise Him. It is the first utterance. Were it not for this, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, would not have bestowed any blessing upon anyone.
And His saying: “lā ilāha illā Allāh” (There is no god but Allah) signifies His Oneness. Allah does not accept deeds except through it. It is the word of piety (kalimatu al-taqwā) by which Allah will weigh the scales (of deeds) on the Day of Judgment.
And as for His saying: “Allāhu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest), it is the highest of the words and the most beloved of them to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. It means: there is nothing greater than Allah. The prayer is not valid without it due to its great worth in the sight of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. And it is the Most Noble and Most Glorious Name.
قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ:صَدَقْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ،فَمَا جَزَاءُ قَائِلِهَا؟قَالَ:إِذَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ:سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ،سَبَّحَ مَعَهُ مَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ، فَيُعْطَى قَائِلُهَا عَشْرَ أَمْثَالِهَا،وَ إِذَا قَالَ:اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِنَعِيمِ الدُّنْيَا مَوْصُولاً بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ،وَ هِيَ الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي يَقُولُهَا أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوهَا،وَ يَنْقَطِعُ الْكَلاَمُ الَّذِي يَقُولُونَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَا خَلاَ:اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
دَعْوٰاهُمْ فِيهٰا سُبْحٰانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهٰا سَلاٰمٌ وَ آخِرُ دَعْوٰاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعٰالَمِينَ [4] ،
99-/10349 – The Jew said: “You have spoken the truth, O Muḥammad. So what is the reward for one who says these phrases?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) replied: “When the servant says Subḥānallāh (Glory be to Allah), everything beneath the Throne glorifies along with him, and the one who says it is given ten times its likeness in reward. And when he says al-ḥamdu lillāh (All praise is due to Allah), Allah grants him the blessings of this world joined with the blessings of the Hereafter. And it is the word that the people of Paradise will say upon entering it, and all other speech that they used to say in the world will cease except for al-ḥamdu lillāh. And that is the meaning of His saying, the Mighty and Majestic:
“Their cry therein shall be: Glory to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting therein shall be: Peace. And the conclusion of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ،وَ ثَمَنُهَا الْجَنَّةُ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: هَلْ جَزٰاءُ الْإِحْسٰانِ إِلاَّ الْإِحْسٰانُ يَقُولُ:هَلْ جَزَاءُ مَنْ قَالَ:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ الْجَنَّةُ [5]،فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ:صَدَقْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ».
وَ رَوَاهُ الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ فِي(الْإِخْتِصَاصِ) [6].
99-/10349 – And as for His saying: “Lā ilāha illallāh” (There is no god but Allah) – its price is Paradise. And that is the meaning of His saying, the Mighty and Majestic:
“Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?” He is saying: Is there any reward for one who says lā ilāha illallāh other than Paradise?
The Jew then said: “You have spoken the truth, O Muḥammad.”
And this was also narrated by Shaykh al-Mufīd in al-Ikhtiṣāṣ [6].

Then he said through his chain of narration: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) say: I named Fāṭimah by this name because Allah has protected (fatama) her and her progeny from the Fire—anyone among them who meets Allah with tawḥīd (the oneness of God) and faith in what I have brought.”

99-/10355 Al-Mufīd in al-Ikhtiṣāṣ said: Amīr al-Mu’minīn (peace be upon him) said regarding the statement of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: “Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?” (Qur’an 55:60)
He said: “I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) say: Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: What is the reward of the one upon whom I have bestowed the blessing of tawḥīd except Paradise?”
99-/10356 _8- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فِي كِتَابِ(الزُّهْدِ):عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَالِمٍ،قَالَ:سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)يَقُولُ: [آيَةٌ]فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ مُسَجَّلَةٌ».قُلْتُ:مَا هِيَ؟قَالَ:«قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى: هَلْ جَزٰاءُ الْإِحْسٰانِ إِلاَّ الْإِحْسٰانُ جَرَتْ فِي الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ الْكَافِرِ وَ الْبَرِّ وَ الْفَاجِرِ،مَنْ صُنِعَ إِلَيْهِ مَعْرُوفٌ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُكَافِئَ بِهِ، وَ لَيْسَتِ الْمُكَافَاةُ أَنْ يَصْنَعَ كَمَا صُنِعَ بِهِ،بَلْ حَتَّى يَرَى مَعَ فِعْلِهِ لِذَلِكَ:أَنَّ لَهُ فَضْلَ الْمُبْتَدِئِ».
99-/10356 Al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd in the book al-Zuhd: from ʿUthmān ibn ʿĪsā, from ʿAlī ibn Sālim, who said: I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (peace be upon him) say:
“There is a verse in the Book of Allah that is sealed.” I said: “Which one is it?” He said: “The statement of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: ‘Is the reward of goodness aught but goodness?’ (Qur’an 55:60)
It applies to the believer and the disbeliever, the righteous and the immoral. Whoever good is done to him, it is upon him to return it in kind. And returning a good deed is not merely by doing the same as was done to him, but to act in such a way that he is seen to possess the virtue of being the initiator.”
