الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بِسْطَامَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الاسْكَافِ عَنِ الاصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (a.s) مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ غَيَّرُوا سُنَّةَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ وَعَدَلُوا عَنْ وَصِيِّهِ لا يَتَخَوَّفُونَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِهِمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ تَلا هَذِهِ الايَةَ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتَ الله كُفْراً وَأَحَلُّوا قَوْمَهُمْ دارَ الْبَوارِ جَهَنَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْنُ النِّعْمَةُ الَّتِي أَنْعَمَ الله بِهَا عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَبِنَا يَفُوزُ مَنْ فَازَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ أَ بِالنَّبِيِّ أَمْ بِالْوَصِيِّ تُكَذِّبَانِ نَزَلَتْ فِي الرَّحْمَنِ.

It is to acknowledge the Divine authority that we possess.”

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ الْبَزَّازِ قَالَ تَلا أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (a.s) هَذِهِ الايَةَ فَاذْكُرُوا آلاءَ الله قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي مَا آلاءُ الله قُلْتُ لا قَالَ هِيَ أَعْظَمُ نِعَمِ الله عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَهِيَ وَلايَتُنَا.

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Uwarma from Ali ibn Hassa’n from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Kathir who has said that he asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) about the meaning of the following verse. “Have you not seen (considered) those who changed the blessings (Word) of God through disbelief and led their people to destruction?” (4:28) The Imam (a.s) said it is a reference to all of Quraysh who exercised animosity towards the Holy Prophet (s.a.), created wars against him and rejected his will about his successor.”

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (a.s) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتَ الله كُفْراً الايَةَ قَالَ عَنَى بِهَا قُرَيْشاً قَاطِبَةً الَّذِينَ عَادَوْا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ وَنَصَبُوا لَهُ الْحَرْبَ وَجَحَدُوا وَصِيَّةَ وَصِيِّهِ.
