Hadith 300

Tafseer Al Qummi – ‘It is narrated to me by my father, raising it, said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When the Wilayah was Revealed, and it happened from the words of Rasool-Allah-saww at Ghadeer Khumm, they greeted unto Ali-asws as ‘Amir Al-Momineen’. They (Abu Bakr and Umar) both said, ‘(Is it) from Allah-azwj or from His-azwj Rasool-saww? ’
He-saww said to them: ‘Yes, a reality from Allah-azwj and from His-azwj Rasool-saww. He-asws is Amir Al-Momineen and Imam-asws of the pious, and guide of the resplendent. Allah-azwj would Make him the leader on the Day of Qiyamah upon the Bridge, and he-asws will enter his-asws friends into the Paradise and enter his-asws enemies into the Fire’. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: and do not be breaking the oaths after its affirmation, and you have already made Allah as a surety upon you. Surely, Allah Knows what you are doing [16: 91] – meaning the words of Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘From Allah-azwj and from His-azwj Rasool-saww’. Then He-azwj Struck and example, so He-azwj Said: And do not become like the one who breaks her yarn from after spinning it tightly, taking your oaths as a means of income between you [16: 92]’’. [225]
And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: like the one who breaks her yarn [16: 92], a woman from the clan of Tameem Bin Murrah called Rabitah Bint Ka’ab Bin Sa’ad Bin Taym Bin Ka’ab Bin Luwy Bin Ghalib. She was foolish. She would spin the hair, and when she had spun it, she would break it. Then she would return to spinning it. Allah-azwj Said: ‘like the one who breaks her yarn from after spinning it tightly, taking your oaths as a means of income between you [16: 92]. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Commanded with the loyalty and Prohibited from breaking the pact. So, He-azwj Struck an example for them’. Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘A sequel to the previous speech regarding Words of the Exalted is that the Imams-asws, there happen to be purer than your leaders. It was said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! We are reading it as: which is more prosperous than (another) community. [16: 92]. He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! And what is more prosperous? ’, and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand and dropped it: But rather, Allah is Trying you with him – meaning by Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, Testing you all, and He will Clarify to you all on the Day of Judgment what you had been differing in [16: 92]. And had Allah so Desired it He would Make you a single community. He-asws said: ‘Upon one doctrine (sect) and one matter’. but He Lets stray one He so Desires to, he-asws said: ‘Punishes due to breaking the pact’. and Guides one He so Desires to, he-asws said: ‘As a Principle, and you will be Questioned about what you had been doing [16: 93]. His-azwj Words: And do not take your oaths as a means of deceit between you, he-asws said: ‘It is an example of Amir Al-Momineen-asws – for the feet would waver after its stability – meaning after the talk of the Prophet-saww regarding him-asws – and you will taste the evil due to what you had been hindering from the Way of Allah, – meaning about Ali-asws – and for you would be a grievous Punishment [16: 94]’’.
