Hadith 303

Tafseer Al Qummi – ‘My father, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid, ‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws regarding His-azwj Words: The Beneficent [55: 1] Taught the Quran [55: 2], so he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Taught the Quran to Muhammad-saww’. I said, ‘(What about): Created the human being [55: 3] Taught him the clarification [55: 4]? ’ He-asws said: ‘That is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. He-azwj Taught him-asws the clarification of everything from what the people would need from him-asws’. I said, ‘(What about): The sun and the moon follow a Reckoning [55: 5]? ’ He-asws said: ‘They would both be Punished. ’ I said, ‘The sun and the moon would be Punished? ’
He-asws said: ‘If you ask about something, then perfect it. Surely, the sun and the moon are two Signs from the Signs of Allah, flowing by His-azwj Command, obedient to Him-azwj. Their illumination is from the Light of His-azwj Throne and their bodies are from Fire of Hell. So, when it would be the Day of Judgment, both their lights would return to the Throne, and their bodies would return to the Fire. Thus, they would neither happen to be a sun nor a moon. And rather, what is meant are those two (Abu Bakr and Umar), Allah-azwj has Cursed them both. Aren’t the people reporting that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The sun and the moon are two lights in the Fire? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘And have you not heard the words of the people, ‘So and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar) are two suns of this community and their light? ’ So these two are in the Fire, and Allah-azwj has not Meant (anything else) other than these two’. I said, ‘(What about): And the star and the tree both perform Sajdahs [55: 6]? ’
He-asws (Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws) said: ‘The star [55: 6], is Rasool-Allah-saww, and Allah-azwj has Named him-saww so in other places, so He-azwj Said: (I Swear) by the star when it swoops down [53: 1]. And He-azwj Said: And directional signs, and by the star they are being guided [16: 16] – so the directional signs are the successors-asws and the star is Rasool-Allah-saww’. I said, ‘both performing Sajdahs [55: 6]? ’ He-asws said: ‘They are both worshipping (Allah-azwj)’. I said, ‘(What about): And the sky, He Elevated it, and He Placed the Scale [55: 7]? ’
He-asws said: ‘The sky is Rasool-Allah-saww. Allah-azwj Elevated him-saww to Him-azwj, and the Scale is Amir Al-Momineen-asws, having Nominated him-asws for His-azwj creatures’. I said, ‘(What about): Indeed! You must not transgress regarding the Scale [55: 8]? ’
He-asws said: ‘Do not disobey the Imam-asws’. I said, ‘(What about): And establish the weight with the fairness [55: 9]? ’
He-asws said: ‘Deal with the Imam-asws by justice’. I said, ‘(What about): ‘and do not be deficient regarding the Scale [55: 9]? ’ He-asws said: ‘Do not be deficient with the Imam-asws of his-asws rights, and do not oppress him-asws’’. [229]
