An-Nahl Ayah 7

النحل آيه 7

/5972 _2- ثم قال: و قال أبو الجارود في قوله: وَ الْأَنْعٰامَ خَلَقَهٰا لَكُمْ فِيهٰا دِفْءٌ وَ مَنٰافِعُ و الدفء: حواشي الإبل، و يقال: بل هي الأدفاء من البيوت و الثياب.

Translation: Then he said: Abu al-Jarud, regarding His saying, “And the cattle He created them for you; in them there is warmth and (other) benefits,” said: al-dif’ (warmth) means the coverings from camels; and it is also said: rather, it is the means of warmth from houses and clothing.

/5973 _3- ثم قال عليّ بن إبراهيم في قوله: دِفْءٌ أي ما يستدفئون به، مما يتخذ من صوفها و وبرها.

Translation: Then ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said about His saying “dif’ (warmth)”: it means that by which people seek warmth, from what is made of their wool and hair.

/5974 _4- ثم قال: و قوله: وَ لَكُمْ فِيهٰا جَمٰالٌ حِينَ تُرِيحُونَ وَ حِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ قال: حين ترجع من المرعى، وَ حِينَ تَسْرَحُونَ حين تخرج إلى المرعى.

Translation: Then he said about His saying, “And for you in them is beauty when you bring them home and when you send them forth to pasture”: “when you bring them home” means when they return from pasture, and “when you send them forth” means when they go out to pasture.

قوله تعالى:

وَ تَحْمِلُ أَثْقٰالَكُمْ إِلىٰ بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بٰالِغِيهِ إِلاّٰ بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ [7]

Reference: 16:7

Shakir: And they carry your heavy loads to regions which you could not reach but with distress of the souls; most surely your Lord is Compassionate, Merciful.

99-/5975 _5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ: عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) يَقُولُ -وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَجَّ- فَقَالَ: «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ): هُوَ أَحَدُ الْجِهَادَيْنِ، وَ هُوَ جِهَادُ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ الضُّعَفَاءُ، أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ، وَ فِي الْحَجِّ هَاهُنَا صَلاَةٌ، وَ لَيْسَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قِبَلَكُمْ حَجٌّ، لاَ تَدَعِ الْحَجَّ وَ أَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، أَ مَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ يَشْعَثُ فِيهِ رَأْسُكَ، وَ يَقْشَفُ [2] فِيهِ جِلْدُكَ، وَ تُمْنَعُ فِيهِ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ. وَ إِنَّا نَحْنُ لَهَاهُنَا، وَ نَحْنُ قَرِيبٌ، وَ لَنَا مِيَاهٌ مُتَّصِلَةٌ، مَا نَبْلُغُ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى يَشُقَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَكَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ فِي بُعْدِ الْبِلاَدِ؟ وَ مَا مِنْ مَلِكٍ وَ لاَ سُوقَةٍ يَصِلُ إِلَى الْحَجِّ إِلاَّ بِمَشَقَّةٍ، مِنْ تَغْيِيرِ مَطْعَمٍ أَوْ مَشْرَبٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ شَمْسٍ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَدَّهَا، وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ تَحْمِلُ أَثْقٰالَكُمْ إِلىٰ بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بٰالِغِيهِ إِلاّٰ بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ».

Translation: 99-/5975: Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Abu ‘Ali al-Ash‘ari, from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar, from Safwan ibn Yahya, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yahya al-Kahili, said: I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him) say—he mentioned the Hajj and said: “The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: It is one of the two jihads; it is the jihad of the weak, and we are the weak. Indeed, there is nothing better than Hajj except the prayer; and in the Hajj here there is prayer, while in the prayer before you there is no Hajj. Do not neglect Hajj while you are able to perform it. Do you not see that in it your hair becomes disheveled, your skin becomes chapped [2], and you are prevented in it from looking at women? And as for us here—we are near, and we have connected waters—yet we do not reach the Hajj until it becomes hard upon us; so how then are you in distant lands? There is no king nor commoner who reaches Hajj except with hardship: a change of food or drink, or wind, or sun he cannot repel. And that is His saying, Mighty and Majestic: ‘And they carry your heavy loads to regions which you could not reach but with distress of the souls; most surely your Lord is Compassionate, Merciful.’”

99-/5976 _6- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنِ الْكَاهِلِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) يَذْكُرُ الْحَجَّ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) قَالَ: هُوَ أَحَدُ الْجِهَادَيْنِ، هُوَ جِهَادُ الضُّعَفَاءِ، وَ نَحْنُ الضُّعَفَاءُ، إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ إِلاَّ الصَّلاَةُ، وَ فِي الْحَجِّ هَاهُنَا صَلاَةٌ، وَ لَيْسَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ قِبَلَكُمْ حَجٌّ، لاَ تَدَعِ الْحَجَّ وَ أَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، أَ لاَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ يَشْعَثُ فِيهِ رَأْسُكَ، وَ يَقْشَفُ فِيهِ جِلْدُكَ، وَ تُمْنَعُ فِيهِ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ، إِنَّا هَاهُنَا وَ نَحْنُ قَرِيبٌ، وَ لَنَا مِيَاهٌ مُتَّصِلَةٌ، فَمَا نَبْلُغُ الْحَجَّ حَتَّى يَشُقَّ عَلَيْنَا، فَكَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ فِي بُعْدِ الْبِلاَدِ؟ وَ مَا مِنْ مَلِكٍ وَ لاَ سُوقَةٍ يَصِلُ إِلَى الْحَجِّ إِلاَّ بِمَشَقَّةٍ، مِنْ تَغْيِيرِ مَطْعَمٍ أَوْ مَشْرَبٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ شَمْسٍ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَدَّهَا، وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ: وَ تَحْمِلُ أَثْقٰالَكُمْ إِلىٰ بَلَدٍ لَمْ تَكُونُوا بٰالِغِيهِ إِلاّٰ بِشِقِّ الْأَنْفُسِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ».

Translation: 99-/5976: Al-‘Ayyashi, from al-Kahili, said: I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah (peace be upon him) mention Hajj, and he said: “The Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) said: It is one of the two jihads; it is the jihad of the weak, and we are the weak.

وَ الْخَيْلَ وَ الْبِغٰالَ وَ الْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهٰا وَ زِينَةً -إلى قوله تعالى- وَ أَلْقىٰ فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوٰاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَ أَنْهٰاراً وَ سُبُلاً لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ [8-15]

99-/5978 _1- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ: عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَبْوَالِ الْخَيْلِ وَ الْبِغَالِ وَ الْحَمِيرِ. قَالَ: فَكَرِهَهَا. قُلْتُ: أَ لَيْسَ لَحْمُهَا حَلاَلاً؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ: وَ الْأَنْعٰامَ خَلَقَهٰا لَكُمْ فِيهٰا دِفْءٌ وَ مَنٰافِعُ وَ مِنْهٰا تَأْكُلُونَ [1] وَ قَالَ فِي الْخَيْلِ وَ الْبِغَالِ وَ الْحَمِيرِ: لِتَرْكَبُوهٰا وَ زِينَةً فَجَعَلَ لِلْأَكْلِ الْأَنْعَامَ الَّتِي قَصَّ اللَّهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ، وَ جَعَلَ لِلرُّكُوبِ الْخَيْلَ وَ الْبِغَالَ وَ الْحَمِيرَ، وَ لَيْسَ لُحُومُهَا بِحَرَامٍ وَ لَكِنَّ النَّاسَ عَافُوهَا».

Translation: 99-/5978: Al-‘Ayyashi, from Zurara, from one of the two (peace be upon them), said: I asked him about the urine of horses, mules, and donkeys. He disliked it. I said: Is not their meat lawful? He said: “Has not Allah made clear for you: ‘And the cattle He created them for you; in them there is warmth and (other) benefits, and of them you eat’ [1]; and He said about the horses, mules, and donkeys: ‘that you might ride upon them and as an ornament.’ So He assigned for eating the cattle that Allah mentioned in the Book, and He assigned for riding the horses, mules, and donkeys. Their meat is not unlawful, but people find it repulsive.”

99-/5979 _2- الشَّيْخُ فِي(التَّهْذِيبِ): بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) فِي أَبْوَالِ الدَّوَابِّ تُصِيبُ الثَّوْبَ، فَكَرِهَهُ، فَقُلْتُ: أَ لَيْسَ لُحُومُهَا حَلاَلاً؟ قَالَ: «بَلَى، وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِمَّا جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْأَكْلِ».

Translation: 99-/5979: The Shaykh, in al-Tahdhib, with his chain from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Khalid, from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwa, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurara, from one of the two (peace be upon them), regarding the urine of beasts of burden that soils the garment: he disliked it. I said: Is not their meat lawful? He said: “Yes; but it is not of what Allah has designated for eating.”

/5980 _4- علي بن إبراهيم: قال: وَ الْخَيْلَ وَ الْبِغٰالَ وَ الْحَمِيرَ لِتَرْكَبُوهٰا و لم يقل عزّ و جلّ لتركبوها و تأكلوها، كما قال في الأنعام. وَ يَخْلُقُ مٰا لاٰ تَعْلَمُونَ قال: العجائب التي خلقها اللّه في البر و البحر وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ وَ مِنْهٰا جٰائِرٌ يعني الطريق [2] و قوله: هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمٰاءِ مٰاءً لَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَرٰابٌ وَ مِنْهُ شَجَرٌ

Translation: /5980 _4- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: “And (He created) the horses and the mules and the asses that you might ride upon them”—and the Mighty and Majestic did not say “that you might ride them and eat them,” as He said concerning the cattle. “And He creates what you do not know”: the wonders that Allah created on land and sea. “And upon Allah is the direction of the way, and among them are those that deviate,” meaning the path [2]. And His saying: “He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it is drink for you, and by it grows the vegetation…”
