AMIRAL MOMININ ALI (AS)

A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from an-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Ayyub ibn Hurr and ‘Imran ibn Ali from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah  who has said the following. “We are the people well-grounded in knowledge and we are the ones who know how to interpret it.”

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ وَعِمْرَانَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله  قَالَ نَحْنُ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ وَنَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ.

Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abdallah ibn Ali from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq from ‘Adallah ibn Hammad from Burayd ibn Mu‘awiya who has narrated the following from either one of the Imams  about the words of Allah the Most Majestic and Most gracious: “No one knows its true interpretations except God and those who have a firm grounding in knowledge…” (3:7). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ is the best among those who are well-grounded in knowledge. Allah, the Most Majestic and Most gracious, taught him all that He had revealed to him in the form of original text and in the form of interpretations. Allah, the Most Majestic and Most gracious, would not reveal anything to him that he would not know the meaning thereof. His successors after him knew all revelations. As for those who do not know the interpretations thereof, when the scholar speaks to them with knowledge, they say, “We believe in it, for all of this is from our Lord.” The Holy Quran consists of specific, general, clear, not so clear, abrogating and abrogated statements. The people who are well-grounded in knowledge know (all of) it.”

عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَما يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلا الله وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ فَرَسُولُ الله ﷺ أَفْضَلُ الرَّاسِخِينَ فِي الْعِلْمِ قَدْ عَلَّمَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ جَمِيعَ مَا أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّنْزِيلِ وَالتَّأْوِيلِ وَمَا كَانَ الله لِيُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يُعَلِّمْهُ تَأْوِيلَهُ وَأَوْصِيَاؤُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ يَعْلَمُونَهُ كُلَّهُ وَالَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِذَا قَالَ الْعَالِمُ فِيهِمْ بِعِلْمٍ فَأَجَابَهُمُ الله بِقَوْلِهِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنا وَالْقُرْآنُ خَاصٌّ وَعَامٌّ وَمُحْكَمٌ وَمُتَشَابِهٌ وَنَاسِخٌ وَمَنْسُوخٌ فَالرَّاسِخُونُ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَعْلَمُونَهُ.

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from MuAlia ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Uwarma from Ali ibn Hassan from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Kathir from abu ‘bdallah  who has said the following. “People well-grounded in Knowledge stands for Amir al-Mu’minin Ali  and the Imams after him.”

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله  قَالَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالائِمَّةُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ (a.s)
