قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قالُوا لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُوا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ سَنُطِيعُكُمْ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ[6] قَالَ نَزَلَتْ وَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمَا وَ فِي أَتْبَاعِهِمَا وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قالُوا لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُوا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ فِي عَلِيٍّ ع سَنُطِيعُكُمْ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ قَالَ دَعَوْا بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ إِلَ
The Imam (a.s.) said, “They are so and so and so and so who reverted from the faith in rejecting Leadership with Divine Authority of Ali (a.s.).” I then asked about the words of Allah, the Most High. “This is because they have said to those who hate God’s revelation, “We shall obey you in some matters.” . .” (47:26) Th
نَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ حَيْثُ دَخَلُوا الْكَعْبَةَ فَتَعَاهَدُوا وَ تَعَاقَدُوا عَلَى كُفْرِهِمْ وَ جُحُودِهِمْ بِمَا نُزِّلَ فِي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَأَلْحَدُوا فِي الْبَيْتِ بِظُلْمِهِمُ الرَّسُولَ وَ وَلِيَّهُ فَبُعْداً لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ.
43. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “and those who commit evil and injustice therein.”. (22:25) The Imam (a.s.) said, “It was revealed about them as they entered the ka‘ba and made an agreement and commitment to
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلالٍ مُبِينٍ[3] يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ حَيْثُ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّي فِي وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مَنْ هُوَ فِي ضَلَالٍ مُبِينٍ كَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- إِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا[4] فَقَالَ إِنْ تَلْوُوا الْأَمْرَ وَ تُعْرِضُوا عَمَّا أُمِرْتُمْ بِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُو
about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious. “You will soon know who is in manifest error” (67:29) This verse is addressed to those who refuse to acknowledge the Imam Ali’s Leadership with Divine Authority and the Imams after him that they are ‘in manifest error.’ Similarly they are addressed in this
ذلِكُمْ بِأَنَّهُ إِذا دُعِيَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ وَ أَهْلُ الْوَلَايَةِ كَفَرْتُمْ[6].
about the words of Allah. “. .Your suffering is only because you disbelieved when One God (and the people who possess Leadership with Divine Authority were) was mentioned. .” (40:12)”
فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى- سَأَلَ سائِلٌ بِعَذابٍ واقِعٍ. لِلْكافِرينَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ دافِعٌ[1] ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَ اللَّهِ نَزَلَ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ع عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص.
“This, by Aallah, how Jibril brought to The Holy Prophet (s.a.).”
مَنْ أُفِكَ عَنِ الْوَلَايَةِ أُفِكَ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ.
Let whoever wishes, turn away from it (Wilaya, Leadership with Divine Authority) (Our Quran).” (51:9) The Imam (a.s.) said, “whoever would turn away from Wilaya, (Leadership with Divine Authority) he has turned away from paradise.”
فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ. وَ ما أَدْراكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ. فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ[3] يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ- فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ وَلَايَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ[4]
“A person in a marfu‘ narrated to me from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious. “Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba (90:11). Would that you knew what Aqaba is! (90:12). It is the setting free of a slave.” (90:13) The Imam (a.s.) said, “Setting free of a slave is acknowledg

The Imam (a.s.) said, “It is the Wilaya Imam Ali’s (Leadership with Divine Authority).”
