11. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al-Saylami Al-Misry, from his father, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated: Abu Abdullah (asws) said when the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic was recited to him (asws); “[45:29] This is Our book that speaks against you with the truth”, he (asws) said: ‘Surely, the Book has never Spoken and will never Speak, but the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), he (saww) is the speaker of the Book. Allah (azwj) has Said: “[45:29] This (the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) )is Our book that speaks against you with the truth”. The narrator said, ‘I asked, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), we do not read it as such’. He (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), this is how Gabriel came down with it upon Muhammad (saww), but this is what was altered from the Book of Allah (azwj)’.

12. A group, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad, from his father, from Abu Muhammad has narrated: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said when asked about the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[91:1] I swear by the sun and its brilliance,”, said: ‘The sun (is a reference to) the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) by whom (saww) Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Clarified for the people their Religion’. ‘I then asked, ‘(What about) “[91:2] And the moon when it follows the sun”? He (asws) said: ‘That is Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) following the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), and emitted the knowledge by reradiating (like moon reflects the rays to the earth which fall on its surface from the sun)’. ‘I then asked, ‘(What about) “[91:4] And the night when it draws a veil over it”?’ Imam (asws) said: ‘That (is a reference to) the imams of the injustice who tyrannised by the command the Progeny (asws) of the Messenger (saww) and seated themselves upon a set which was for the Progeny (asws) of the Messenger (saww) who (asws) were higher (more deserving) for it than them. They veiled the Religion of Allah (azwj) by the injustices and the tyranny. So Allah (azwj) has Referred to their deeds by Saying “[91:4] And the night when it draws a veil over it”. ‘I then asked, (What about) “[91:3] By the Day as it shows up (the Sun’s) clarity”?’ He (asws) said: ‘That (is a reference to) the Imams (asws) from the descendants of Fatima (sa), when asked about the Religion of the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) so they clarify it for the one who has asked (from them (asws)). So Allah (azwj) has referred it in His (azwj) Statement by Saying “[91:3] By the Day as it shows up (the Sun’s) clarity”.

14. Sahl, from Muhammad, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah (asws) the Statement of the Blessed and the High (azwj): “[16:38] And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know”, he (asws) said: ‘O Abu Baseer! What do you (people) say about this Verse?’ I replied, ‘The ‘Mushrikeen’ (polytheists) are alleging and swearing upon oath to the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) that Allah (azwj) does not Resurrect the dead’. Imam (asws) said: ‘Woe be unto the ones who say this. Ask them, ‘Do the ‘Mushrikeen’ swear by Allah (azwj) or by Al-Laat, and Al-Uzza (names of worshipped idols)?’ I replied, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), enlighten me’. Imam (asws) replied to me: ‘O Abu Baseer! When our (asws) Rising One (Al-Qaim (asws)) makes the stand, Allah (azwj) will Send to him (asws) a group from our (asws) Shiites with the sheaths of their swords upon their shoulders. So that (news) will reach a group from our (asws) Shiites who did not die. So they will say, so and so and so and so have been resurrected from their graves and they are with Al-Qaim (asws). So that (news) will reach a group from our (asws) enemies, so they will say, ‘O group of Shiites, what lies you speak. This is your government and you are speaking lies about it? No, by Allah (azwj), those have never lived nor will they ever be living up to the Day of Judgement’. He (asws) said: ‘So Allah (azwj) Quoted their words, so He (azwj) Said: “[16:38] And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies”.
