The transfer of leadership to them did not matter to them at all. They said, “We obey in certain matters that you want us to obey, such as the one fifth taxes. We will not pay it to them. His words that read, “who hate God’s revelation,” refers to Amir al-Mu’minin  Leadership with Divine Authority over the creatures. With them was abu ‘Ubayda, their scribe. Allah has said, “If the unbelievers persist in their disbelief, We shall also persist in punishing them (43:79). Do they think that We do not hear their secrets and whispers? We certainly can hear them and Our Messengers record it all (43:80).”

The Imam  said, “By Allah, no one of those who were destroyed before or those who will be destroyed up to the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority but because of disregarding of our Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority) and the denial of our rights. The Messenger of Allah did not leave this world before establishing the great responsibility on this ’Umma to observe our rights. Allah guides to the right path whomever he wants.”

7Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hakam ibn al-Buhlul from a man frm abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most High. ““It has been revealed to you and to those who lived before you that if you consider other things equal to God, your deeds will be made devoid of all virtue. .” (39:65). The Imam  said, “It means equal in Wilaya.” “(Muhammad), You must worship God alone and give Him thanks.” (39:66). The Imam  said, “It means worship Allah through obedience and be thankful if I provided you support through your brother, your cousin.”

7عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله  فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ قَالَ يَعْنِي إِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ فِي الْوَلايَةِ غَيْرَهُ بَلِ الله فَاعْبُدْ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ يَعْنِي بَلِ الله فَاعْبُدْ بِالطَّاعَةِ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ أَنْ عَضَدْتُكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَابْنِ عَمِّكَ.

They said, ‘If we reject this verse we would have rejected the rest of them. However, if we would accept it would be humiliating for us when Ali ibn abu Talib  would take control. They said, “We have learned that Muhammad  is truthful in all that has said but we will turn away and will not obey his command to obey Ali.” The Imam  said that up on this verse was revealed. “They recognize the bounties of God but they refuse them . .” (6:83) It means that they recognized Wilaya of Ali  (Leadership with Divine Authority) but many of them have refused toacknowledge it.”

7Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn al-Ni‘man from Salam who has said the following. “I asked abu Ja‘far  about the words of Allah, the Most High. “(Among) the servants of the Beneficent God are those who walk gently on the earth . .” (25:63) The Imam  said, “They are the executors of the will (The Holy Prophet  who are afraid of their enemies.” Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Bastam ibn Murra from ishaq ibn Hassa’n from al-Haytham ibn Waqid from Ali ibn al-Husayn al-‘Abdi from Sa‘d al-’Iskaf from Asbagh ibn Nabata that he asked Amir al-Mu’minin  about the words of Allah, the Most High. “. . to give thanks to Me first and then to them, (parents) to Me all things proceed (3:4).The Imam  said, “The parents who must be thanked are the ones who provide knowledge, and leave wisdom as their legacy and people are commanded to obey them. Allah then has said, “. . to Me all things proceed.” (3:4) People proceed to Allah and the guide to such goal are the parents. Allah then has directed His words to ibn Hantama and his friend saying in particular and in general, “If they try to force you to consider things equal to Me,. .” (3:5) It speaks of the will of The Holy Prophet . It demands not to ignore the command to obey him (Ali  otherwise, do not obey them (parents) and do not listen to them. Then Allah has directed His words to the parents. “Maintain lawful relations with them in this world. .” (3:5) It says that propagate the virtue and excellence of the (spiritual) parents and call people to their guidance which is also mentioned in these words of Allah. “. . and follow the path of those who turn in repentance to Me. To Me you will all return. .” (3:5) The Imam  said, “To Allah then to us. You must be pious before Allah and do not disobey the parents. To please them is to please Allah and to cause them anger is to cause anger to Allah.”

7A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Sayf from his father from ‘Amr ibn Harith who has said the following. “I asked abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah. “. . a blessed tree which has firm roots and branches rising up into the sky.” (4:24) The Imam  said that the The Holy Prophet  said, “The root is Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  and the branches are the Imams from their (Amir al-Mu’minin  and The Holy Prophet  descendants and the knowledge of Imams stand for the fruits. Their faithful followers represent the leaves of such tree.” The Imam  asked, “Is there anything else in the tree?” I said, “No, there is nothing else there. The Imam  then said, “By Allah, when a faithful is given a child a leave grows in the tree and when a faithful dies a leave falls off the tree.”

7Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Hamdan ibn Sulayman from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Yamani from Mani‘ ibn al-Hajjaj from Yunus from Hisham ibn al-Hakam from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “. . the belief of any soul will be of no avail to it unless some good deeds have been done with it. .” (6:58) The Imam  said, “It means to acknowledge the prophets and the executors of their wills especially Amir al-Mu’minin Ali .” The Imam  said, “The faith of a soul will not be of any benefit because it will be removed.”

80. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Yunus from Sabah al-Muzniy from abu Hamza from one of them  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “There is no doubt that evil doers who are engulfed in sins -rejected Wilaya of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali – are the companions of hell fire wherein they will live forever.” (2:8) A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from abu ‘Ubayda al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following. “I asked abu Ja‘far  about the capability and the people’s words. The Imam  recited this verse of the Holy Quran. “They still have different beliefs (:8) except those upon whom God has granted His mercy. God has created them to receive mercy. . .” (:9) O abu ‘Ubayda, people face differences in search for truth and all of them will be destroyed.” The narrator has said that I then said, “Except those who receive mercy from Allah. (:9)” The Imam  said, “Such people are our followers whom He has created for His mercy. “God has created them to receive mercy. . .” (:9) He has said that they are created to obey the Imam of blessings that He has mentioned in His words “My mercy and blessings have encompassed all things”. Such blessing is the knowledge of Imam. His (Imams’) knowledge which is from His knowledge that has encompassed all things. They are our Shi‘a, followers). Then He has said, “. . I shall grant mercy to those who maintain piety, (do not acknowledge the authority of those who are not Imams and obedience to them). ..” (7:56) Then Allah has said, “. . whose description they find written in the Torah and the Gospel.(The Holy Prophet, the executor of his will and Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority). He (the Messengers) enjoins them to do good (when he will rise with Divine Authority) and forbids them to do all that is unlawful, -Munkar (unlawful) is one who does not acknowledge the Wilaya of Imam) makes lawful for them all that is pure (receive knowledge from its proper source) and unlawful all that is filthy, (the words of those who oppose the Imam are filthy) removes their burdens (the sins that they had before acknowledging Wilaya of the Imam (Leadership with Divine Authority) and the entanglements in which they are involved (the entanglements are the words that they were not commanded to express. Such words were not in praise and virtue of the Imam. When they recognized the excellence of the Imam He removed their burden. Such burden is the sin. Then He further explains about them) Those who believe in him, (the Imam) honor and help him, and follow the light which is sent down to him, will have everlasting happiness.”. (7:57) (Such people are those who kept away from the worship of the Devil and Satan. So and so are Devil and Satan. Worship is people’s obeying them. Allah then has said, “Turn to God in repentance and submit to Him. .” (39:56). Then He has granted them rewards. “. . will receive glad news both in this life and in the life hereafter. .” (0:64) (Imam gives them the glad news of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority, the news of the destruction of their enemies and salvation in the hereafter and their meeting Ali and Muhammad  and their truthful family at pond of al-Kawthar).”

8Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from ‘Ammar al-Sabati who has said the following. “I asked abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “Are those who seek God’s pleasure equal to those who incur His wrath and whose dwelling will be hell, the terrible destination? (3:62) People are of various grades in the sight of God. .” (3:63) The Imam  said, “Those who follow what Allah is pleased are the Imams. They, by Allah, O ‘Ammar, give grades and degrees to the true believers. By means of our Wilaya (Leadership and guardian ship with Divine Authority) and their acknowledgment of us Allah increases the reward for their good deeds and (Allah) raises them to higher positions.”

8Ali ibn Muhammad and others have narrated from sahl ibn Ziyad from ya‘qub ibn Yazid from Ziyad al-Qandi from ‘Ammar al-’Asadi from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “. . Good words (worship) will be presented before Him and He will accept good deeds. . .” (35:0) The Imam  said, “It is our Wilaya Leadership and Guardianship with Divine Authority. He made a gesture with his hands to his own chest saying Allah will not raise the deeds of those who would not acknowledge our Wilaya.”

God will grant you a double share of mercy, ( al-Hassan and al-Husayn ) a light by which you can walk. .” (57:28) The Imam  said, “Light means the Imam that you would follow.”

8Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad al-Jawhari from certain persons of his people from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah. “They ask you, “Is that true?”(The Imam  said, “It means what do you say about Ali ?” Tell them, “It certainly is true. I swear by my Lord. You can not escape from God’s (retribution).” (0:53)

8Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Daylami from his father from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following. “I said to abu ‘Abdallah , “May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, what is the meaning of the words of Allah, “Yet, he has not entered into ö aqaba.” (90:) The Imam  said, “To whoever Allah has granted honor through our Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority) he has crossed the ö aqaba (the stage). We are the ö aqaba. Whoever would reach us gains his salvation.” The narrator has said that he remained quite for a while and then said to me, “Would to learn a letter from that would be better for you than the whole world and all that is therein?” I said, “yes, May Allah take my soul in service for your cause.” He then said, “It is the setting free of a slave.” Then he said, “All people are slaves of fire. except you and your people. Allah has set you free from fire through our (Ahl al-Bayt) Wilaya (Leadership and Guardianship with Divine Authority).”

8Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Sama‘ from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “. . Fulfill your covenant with Me ..” (the covenant to acknowledge Wilaya of Ali ) and I shall fulfill Mine (admit you in paradise).. .” (2:40)

8عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله  فِي قَوْلِ الله جَلَّ وَعَزَّ وَأَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِي قَالَ بِوَلايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ  أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ أُوفِ لَكُمْ بِالْجَنَّةِ.

8Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from from Salma ibn al-Khattab from al-Hassan ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the unbelievers say to the faithful ones, “Which of us has a better position and is more prosperous?” (9:73) The Imam  said, “the Messenger of Allah asked Quraysh (the powerful tribe in Makka) to acknowledge our (Wilaya Leadership with Divine Authority) they turned away and refused. The unbelievers of Quraysh told the true believers of Quraysh (those who acknowledged our Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority), “Which group of us has a better position and is more prosperous?” This was to humiliated the true believers. Allah in rebuttal said, “How many generations (people of the past) of greater prosperity and splendor have We destroyed before them?” (9:74) I then asked the meaning of, “(Muhammad), tell them, “The Beneficent God gives respite to those who have gone astray. . (9:75). The Imam  said, “All them lived a life in error and did acknowledge Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  and our Wilaya). They lived in error and lead others to error. Allah gives them time in their error and rebellion until they die. He then cuases them to have the worst of dwelling and be of the weakest parties.” I then asked him about the meaning of, “. . until they face the torment with which they were threatened or to the Day of Judgment. Then they will find out who will have the most miserable place and the weakest forces.” (9:75) The Imam  said, “. . until they face the torment with which they were threatened. .” is the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority. That is the time when they will find out what Allah will sent to them through the hands of al-Mahdi  and thus, are His words, “. . who will have the most miserable place (at the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority) and the weakest forces.” (9:75) ).” I then asked about the words of Allah. “. . God further enlightens those who seek guidance. ..” (9:76) The Imam  said, “Allah will grant them more guidance and certainty to follow Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) so that they will not reject or refuse his authority.” I then asked about the words of Allah. “. . no one will be able to intercede for the others except those whom the Beneficent God has given authority.” (9:87) The Imam  said, “The acknowledgment of Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority) of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali and the Imams after him is part of the religion of Allah  and this is the authority and the covenant before Allah.” I then asked about the words of Allah. “To the righteously striving believers God will grant love.” (9:96) The Imam  said, “It is the love for Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  and to acknowledge his Wilaya. It is this love of which Allah speaks in His words. “(Muhammad), We have given it to you (the Book, the Quran) in your own language so that you could easily give the glad news to the pious ones and warn the quarrelsome ones.” (9:97). The Imam  said, “It was made easy for him when Allah appointed Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  as the standard of truth. With him He gave glad news to the true believers and warning to the unbelievers. It is these unbelievers whom He has called “the quarrelsome ones” The narrator has said that I then asked him about the words of Allah. “. . so that you may warn a people who are unaware because their fathers were not warned (36:6).The Imam  said, “It was to warn the people with whom The Holy Prophet  lived just as their forefathers were warned and they were unaware of Allah, His messenger and His warning. “. . (I swear) that most of them are doomed to be punished (for not acknowledging the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him ) They have no faith (in the Wilaya of Ali and the executors of the will after him .” (36:7) since they did not believe and their punishment was as such as Allah has mentioned, “. . We have enchained their necks up to their chins. Thus, they cannot bend their heads (in Hell) (to find their way) (36:8).(Then Allah has said, “. . We have set-up a barrier in front of and behind them and have made them blind. Thus, they cannot see.. .” (36:0) (It will be the punishment for not acknowledging the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him. This is in this world and in the nest life it will be Hell wherein they will not be able to raise their heard. Then Allah has said, “. . Whether you warn them or not, they will not believe.” (36:0) (in Allah and the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him  Then Allah has said, “. . You should only warn those who follow the Quran (and Amir al-Mu’minin Ali ) and have fear of the Beneficent God without seeing Him. Give them (O Muhammad), the glad news of their receiving forgiveness and an honorable reward (from God).” (36:)”

8Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people from ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said the following. “I asked abu al-Hassan al-Madi  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “They want to put out the light of God with their mouths,. .” (6:8) (The Imam  siad, “They want to banish Wilaya of Ali  with their mouths) “. . but God will certainly make His light shine forever. .” (6:8) (The Imam  said, “Allah will complete Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority) as He said in His words. “It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the true religion,. .” (6:9) The Imam  said, “It is He Who sent His Messenger with Wilaya for the executor of his will and Wilaya is the true religion.” I then read from the Holy Quran. “. . make the true religion to stand supreme over all religions, . .” (6:9) The Imam  said, “He will it stand supreme at the time of (the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority) as Allah has said, “. .He will make the true religion to stand supreme over all religions, (Wilaya of Al-Qa’im) even though the pagans may dislike it.” (6:9). “The unbelievers refer to unbelievers in the Wilaya of Ali ” said The Imam . I then asked, “Is it revelation?” He replied, “These words are revelation but the others are interpretation.” I then read from the Holy Quran. “This is because they accepted the faith and then rejected. .” (63:3) The Imam  said, “Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has called those who would not follow His Messenger in the matter of Wilaya hypocrites. He has considered those who reject Imamat just as those who would reject Muhammad  and to this effect He has revealed verses in the Holy Quran that read as herein below. “When the hypocrites (in the matter of Wilaya of the executor or your will, Ali  come to you, they say, “We testify that you are the Messenger of God.” God knows that you are His Messenger. God testifies that they hypocrites (in the matters of Wilaya of Ali  are liars ((63:). They have chosen their oaths as a shield for them to obstruct others from the way of God (the way is the executor of the will). How terrible is what they do! ((63:2). This is because they accepted the faith (your message) and then rejected it (Wilaya of the executor of your will). God has sealed their hearts, thus, they do not have any understanding.” (63:3). The narrator has said that I then asked, “What is the meaning of ‘they do not have any understanding.” (63:3)?” The Imam  said, “Allah has said that they do not understand your prophesy.” I then asked about the meaning of Allah’s words. “When they are told, “Come and let the Prophet of God seek forgiveness for you,. .” (63:6) The Imam  said, “It means that when the are asked to come back to the Wilaya of Ali  so the The Holy Prophet  would ask Allah to forgive your sins, “. . they shake their heads (Allah says) and you can see them arrogantly turning away. . “ (63:6) (from the Wilaya of Ali  “. . arrogantly. .”. ((63:5). Allah then has reiterated His words about the fact that they know the Wilaya very well saying, “. . It is all the same whether you seek forgiveness for them or not; God will never forgive them. God does not guide the evil-doing people (63:6). The Imam  said, “It refers to the unjust ones against the executor of your will.” I then asked the Imam  about the meaning of the words of Allah. “Can one who walks with his head hanging down be better guided that one who walks with his head upright?” (67:22) The Imam  said, “Allah has compared the ones who would deviate from Wilaya of Ali  to those who walk with teir head bent down without knowing what is around them. He, on the other hand has compared to those who would acknowledge Wilaya of Ali  with those who would walk on the straight path. Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  is the straight path.” The narrator has said that I then asked The Imam  about the words of Allah. “. . the Quran is certainly the word of a reverent messenger.” (69:40) The Imam  said, “It is the words of Jibril from Allah about Wilaya of Ali .” I then asked about the words of Allah. “It is not the word of a poet but only a few of you have faith,” (69:4) The Imam  said, “They had said that Muhammad  is not truthful and Allah has not commanded him anything about Ali . Allah then revealed Quran (a reading) about it. “It (Wilaya of Ali  is a revelation from the Lord of the Universe (69:43). “Had Muhammad invented some words against Us, (69:44). We would have caught hold of him by his right hand (69:45) and cut-off his main artery.” (69:46). Then Allah has turned to Wilaya of Ali  saying, “The Quran (Wilaya of Ali  is certainly a reminder for the (worlds) pious ones (69:48). We certainly know that some of you have rejected it (69:49) and (on the Day of Judgment) this (Wilaya of Ali  will be a great source of regret for the unbelievers (69:50). This (Wilaya of Ali  is the Truth beyond any doubt (69:5). (Muhammad), glorify the name of your Lord, the Great One.” (69:52) Allah has said, “Thank your Lord, the Great, Who has granted you this distinction.” The narrator has said that I then asked The Imam  about the words of Allah. “Now that we have listened to the guidance, we believe in it.. .” (72:3) The Imam  said, “Guidance is Wilaya of Ali . We have established faith in our guardian and those who would do so ‘. . Whoever believes in his Lord does not need to fear loss or oppression.” (72:3) I then asked, “Is it of the revealed words of Allah?” He said, “No, it is interpretation.” I then asked him about the words of Allah. “Say, “I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you.” (72:2) The Imam  said, “the Messenger of Allah called people to acknowledge Wilaya of Ali . Quraysh came to him and said, “O Muhammad, “Absolve us from such acknowledgment.” The Messenger of Allah said, “It is not from me but it is up to Allah.” They accused him and left him. Allah then revealed this reading. ““Say, “I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you. (72:2) Say, “No one can protect me from God, (if I would disobey Him) nor can I find any place of refuge but with him (72:22). My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God (about Ali .. .” (72:23) I then asked, “Is it the revealed words of Allah?” He said, “Yes, it is the revealed word of Allah.” Allah has said to place more emphasis, “. . Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger (in the matters of Wilaya of Ali  will go to hell, wherein he will live forever.” (72:23) I then read the words of Allah. “. . until the unbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number.” (72:24) It is a reference to the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority and his supporters).” I then read the words of Allah. “ Bear patiently whatever they say,. .” (73:0) The Imam  said, “They say, ‘. . and leave them to distance from them in an honorable manner.” (73:0) “Leave (O Muhammad) the prosperous unbelievers (in Wilaya of Ali  to Me and give them respite for a little while;” (73:) I then asked him, “Is it the revealed words of Allah?” He said, “Yes, it is.” I then read the words of Allah. “It gives more certainty to the people of the Book. .” (74:3) The Imam  said, “They become certain that Allah, Hid Messenger and the executor of his will are true.” I then read, ‘. . and strengthens the faith of the believers.. . “ (74:3) The Imam  said, “Wilaya of Ali  strengthens their faith.” I then read the words of Allah. “. . The people of the Book and the believers have no doubt about it.. .” (74:3) The Imam  said, “They have no doubts in the Wilaya of Ali .” I then asked, “What is this doubt?” He said, “people of the Book and the believers that Allah has mentioned are meant thereby. He said that they do not doubt the Wilaya of Ali .” I then read the words of Allah. “. . This parable is a reminder for mankind.” (74:3) The Imam  said, “Yes, it the Wilaya of Ali .” “. . it is certainly one of the two great things.” (74:35) The Imam  said. “It is the Wilaya of Ali .” I then read the words of Allah. “. whether one steps forward to embrace the faith or one turns away from it.” (74:37) The Imam  one who would step forwards to our Wilaya he would step away from Hell and one who would step away from our Wilaya he would step closer to Hell.” I then read the words of Allah. “. . except the people of the right hand.” (74:39) The Imam  said, “They, by Allah, are our Shi‘a (followers).” I then read the words of Allah. “. . We did not pray,” (74:43) The Imam  said, “It refers to their saying, “We did not believe in Wilaya of Ali  and the Imams after him and would offer the special greeting for them.” I then read the words of Allah. “. . Why do they run away from guidance,” (74:49) The Imam  said, “It means running away from our Wilaya.” I then read the words of Allah. “There is no doubt that it is a guide.” (74:54) The Imam  said, “It refers to Wilaya of Ali .” I then read the words of Allah. “The servants of God fulfill their vows. .” (76:7) The Imam  said, “They fulfill the vow and covenant that they had made to acknowledge our Wilaya.” I then read the words of Allah. “(Muhammad), We have revealed the Quran to you in gradual steps.” (76:23) The Imam  said, “It means, revealed with Wilaya of Ali .” I then asked, “Is it of the revealed words of Allah ?” He said, “Yes, with interpretation.” I then read the words of Allah. “This (chapter) is a reminder. . .”.(76:29) The Imam  said, “It is a reminder of Wilaya .” I then read the words of Allah. “He admits to His mercy whomever He wants.. .” (76:3) The Imam  said, “He admits in our Wilaya.” The Imam  said, “. . For the unjust He has prepared a painful punishment.” (76:3) Consider that Allah has said, “They (children of Israel) did not wrong Us but wronged themselves. (2:57) The Imam  said, “Allah is far glorious than to do injustice or ascribe injustice to His-self. However, Allah has confuse us with His-self, thus, He has called injustice to us as injustice to His-self and our Wilaya as His own Wilaya and guardianship. About this matter He revealed Quran (a reading) to His Prophet that reads. “We did not do any wrong to them but they wronged themselves. (6:8) I then asked, “Is it the revealed word of Allah ?” He said, “Yes, it is.” I then read the words of Allah. “On that day, woe will be to those who have rejected God’s revelations!” (77:5) (The Imam  said, “Allah has said, “O Muhammad, woe is to those who reject what I have revealed about the Wilaya of Ali ibn abu Talib .” “Did We not destroy the ancient people (77:6) and make others settle after them in their land? (77:7). The Imam  said, “The ancient people are those who refused to obey the prophets about the executors of their will. “Thus do We deal with the sinful ones.” (77:8) The Imam  said, “It refers to those who sinned in the matters of Ahl al-Bayt (family) of Muhammad  and did to them what they did.” I then read the words of Allah. “The pious ones . .” (77:4) The Imam  said, “By Allah, only we and our Shi‘a (followers) follow truly the religion of Abraham/Ibrahim. Other people have no relationship with it.” I then read the words of Allah. “On that day, the Spirit and the angels who stand in lines will not speak . .” (78:38) The Imam  said, “We, by Allah, on the Day of judgment will the permission to speak the truth.” I asked him, “What will you say when you will speak?” The Imam  said, “We will praise our Lord, greet our The Holy Prophet  and intercede for our Shi‘a Our Lord will not reject our request.” I then read the words of Allah. “the records of the sinner’s deeds are in Sij4 n.” (83:7) The Imam  said, “They are the ones who did injustice to the Imams and treated them with hostility.” I then read the words of Allah. “. .This is what you had called a lie.” (83:7) The Imam  said, “It refers to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali .” I then asked, “Is it the revealed word of Allah ?” The Imam  said, “yes, it is.”

الْوَلايَةُ آمَنَّا بِمَوْلانَا فَمَنْ آمَنَ بِوَلايَةِ مَوْلاهُ فَلا يَخافُ بَخْساً وَلا رَهَقاً قُلْتُ تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ لا تَأْوِيلٌ قُلْتُ. قَوْلُهُ لا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلا رَشَداً قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) دَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ فَاجْتَمَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَعْفِنَا مِنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) هَذَا إِلَى الله لَيْسَ إِلَيَّ فَاتَّهَمُوهُ وَخَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ الله قُلْ إِنِّي لا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلا رَشَداً. قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ الله إِنْ عَصَيْتُهُ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَداً إِلا بَلاغاً مِنَ الله وَرِسَالاتِهِ فِي عَلِيٍّ قُلْتُ هَذَا تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَوْكِيداً وَمَنْ يَعْصِ الله وَرَسُولَهُ فِي وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدِينَ فِيها أَبَداً قُلْتُ حَتَّى إِذا رَأَوْا ما يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ ناصِراً وَأَقَلُّ عَدَداً يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْقَائِمَ وَأَنْصَارَهُ قُلْتُ وَاصْبِرْ عَلى‏ ما يَقُولُونَ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ فِيكَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْراً جَمِيلاً. وَذَرْنِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِوَصِيِّكَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلاً قُلْتُ إِنَّ هَذَا تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ قَالَ يَسْتَيْقِنُونَ أَنَّ الله وَرَسُولَهُ وَوَصِيَّهُ حَقٌّ قُلْتُ وَيَزْدادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيماناً قَالَ وَيَزْدَادُونَ بِوَلايَةِ الْوَصِيِّ إِيمَاناً قُلْتُ وَلا يَرْتابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ بِوَلايَةِ علي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الارْتِيَابُ قَالَ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرَ الله فَقَالَ وَلا يَرْتَابُونَ فِي الْوَلايَةِ قُلْتُ وَما هِيَ إِلا ذِكْرى‏ لِلْبَشَرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلايَةُ علي (عَلَيْهِ

عَنَّا تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى سَقَرَ إِلا أَصْحابَ الْيَمِينِ قَالَ هُمْ وَالله شِيعَتُنَا قُلْتُ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ قَالَ إِنَّا لَمْ نَتَوَلَّ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَالاوْصِيَاءَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَلا يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ فَما لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ قَالَ عَنِ الْوَلايَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ قُلْتُ كَلا إِنَّها تَذْكِرَةٌ قَالَ الْوَلايَةُ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ قَالَ يُوفُونَ لله بِالنَّذْرِ الَّذِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ مِنْ وَلايَتِنَا قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلاً قَالَ بِوَلايَةِ علي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) تَنْزِيلاً قُلْتُ هَذَا تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ ذَا تَأْوِيلٌ قُلْتُ إِنَّ هذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ قَالَ الْوَلايَةُ قُلْتُ يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ قَالَ فِي وَلايَتِنَا قَالَ وَالظَّالِمِينَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذاباً أَلِيماً أَ لا تَرَى أَنَّ الله يَقُولُ وَما ظَلَمُونا وَلكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ قَالَ إِنَّ الله أَعَزُّ وَأَمْنَعُ مِنْ أَنْ يَظْلِمَ أَوْ يَنْسُبَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى ظُلْمٍ وَلَكِنَّ الله خَلَطَنَا بِنَفْسِهِ فَجَعَلَ ظُلْمَنَا ظُلْمَهُ وَوَلايَتَنَا وَلايَتَهُ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ بِذَلِكَ قُرْآناً عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ فَقَالَ وَما ظَلَمْناهُمْ وَلكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ قُلْتُ هَذَا تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ قَالَ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بِمَا أَوْحَيْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ وَلايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَ لَمْ نُهْلِكِ الاوَّلِينَ. ثُمَّ نُتْبِعُهُمُ الاخِرِينَ قَالَ الاوَّلِينَ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ فِي طَاعَةِ الاوْصِيَاءِ كَذلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ قَالَ مَنْ أَجْرَمَ إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَرَكِبَ مِنْ وَصِيِّهِ مَا رَكِبَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ قَالَ نَحْنُ وَالله وَشِيعَتُنَا لَيْسَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ غَيْرُنَا وَسَائِرُ النَّاسِ مِنْهَا بُرَآءُ قُلْتُ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلائِكَةُ صَفًّا لا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ الايَةَ قَالَ نَحْنُ وَالله الْمَأْذُونُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَالْقَائِلُونَ صَوَاباً قُلْتُ مَا تَقُولُونَ إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُمْ قَالَ نُمَجِّدُ رَبَّنَا وَنُصَلِّي عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَنَشْفَعُ لِشِيعَتِنَا فَلا يَرُدُّنَا رَبُّنَا قُلْتُ كَلا إِنَّ كِتابَ الفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٍ قَالَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ فَجَرُوا فِي حَقِّ الائِمَّةِ وَاعْتَدَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تُكَذِّبُونَ قَالَ يَعْنِي أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قُلْتُ تَنْزِيلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

8Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salma ibn al-Khattab from al-Husayn ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah  about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “Whoever ignores My guidance will live a woeful life. .” (20:24) The Imam  said, “It means ignoring Wilaya of Ali .” I then read the words of Allah. “. . and will be brought in Our presence blind on the Day of Judgment.” (20:24) The Imam  said, “It means blind of eyes in the next life and blind of heart towards Wilaya of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  in this life.” The Imam  said, “He will be confused on the Day of Judgment and will ask, “. . He will say, “My Lord, why have you brought me back to life blind; before I could see?” (20:25). The Lord will say, “This is true. But just as you forgot Our revelations that had come to you, so, also, are you forgotten on this day.” (20:26) The Imam  said, “ ‘revelations’ means Imams  that you rejected so also you are rejected and left to the fire today. You did not obey their commands and did not listened to their words.” I then read the words of Allah. “Thus We recompense those who are unjust and have no faith in Our revelations. The torment in the life to come will be more severe and last longer.” (20:27) The Imam  said, “It refers to those who accept others as partners of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  in the matters of Wilaya and have no faith in the revelations of his Lord and have left the Imams  on account of hostility who have not followed their teachings and have not acknowledged their Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority).” I then read the words of Allah. “God is kind to His servants. He gives sustenance to whomever He wants. . .” (42:9) The Imam  said, “ ‘Sustenance’ is the Wilaya of Ali .” I then read the words of Allah. “We shall increase the harvest of those who seek a good harvest in the life hereafter. .” (42:20) The Imam  said, “It is the recognition of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  and the Imams from which the receive additional gains.” “. However, those who want to have their harvest in this life will be given it but will have no share in the hereafter.” (42:20) The Imam  said, “They will have no share in government of truth at the time of Al-Qa’im, the one who will rise with Divine Authority).”
