Hadith 231

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Did We not Expand your chest for you? [94: 1]. He-azwj Said, ‘With Ali-asws, so We-azwj have Made him-asws your-saww successor-asws’. He said, ‘And when he-saww conquered Makkah and Quraysh entered into, Allah-azwj Expanded his-saww chest and cheered him-saww – And Placed down your burden from you, [94: 2]. He said, ‘By Ali-asws, the war – Which was breaking your back? [94: 3] – i. e. weighing down your-saww back. And We Raised your Zikr for you? [94: 4]. He-azwj Said: ‘You-saww will be mentioned whenever I-azwj am mentioned’ – and it is the word of the people, ‘I testify there is no god except Allah-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’. Then He-azwj Said: ‘Then, surely with the difficulty, there is ease [94: 5]. He-azwj Said, ‘Whatever difficulty you-saww were in, We-azwj Gave you-saww ease’. So when you are free, then nominate [94: 7]. He-azwj Said: ‘So, when you-saww are free from the farewell Hajj, then nominate Amir Al-Momineen-asws, And to your Lord be hopeful [94: 8]’’. [135]
And it is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Yahya Bin Zakariya, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding His-azwj Words: So when you are free, – from your-saww Prophet-hood, then nominate [94: 7] Ali-asws. And to your Lord be hopeful [94: 8] regarding that’’. [136]
