Hadith 840

those are the losers [2: 27]. Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘When Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: O you people! An example is Struck, and Mentioned the fly in His-azwj Words surely those whom you call upon besides Allah will never be (able to) create a fly [22: 73] – the Verse. And when He-azwj Said: The example of those who take guardians besides Allah is as the example of the spider taking a house; and the frailest of the houses is a house of the spider, if only they knew [29: 41]. And He-azwj Struck two Examples in this Chapter by those who kindled a fire [2: 17] and rainstorm from the sky [2: 19], the unbelievers and the Nasibis (Hostile to Friends of Allah-azwj) said: ‘So what are these examples He-azwj is Striking? ’. They intended this to be a snide (hurtful) upon Rasool-Allah-saww. Allah-azwj Said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Surely, Allah has no Reservations [2: 26] – He-saww does not avoid embarrassment from Striking an example so the Truth may be manifested to the Momineen servants (that of) a mosquito i. e. , be it an example of a mosquito or what is above it or something bigger and that is of a fly. He-azwj Strikes an example when He-azwj Knows that in it is correction of His-azwj servants and their benefit. Then as for those who believe in Allah-azwj and the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws goodly Progeny-asws, and submit to Rasool-Allah-saww and to the Imams-asws, to their-asws orders and their-asws Ahadeeth and their-asws situations and do not confront them-asws in their-asws affairs and do not interfere in their-asws secrets and do not disclose anything given to them in trust from them-asws without their-asws permission. They know those Momineen of these characteristics, that it – the example being struck is the Truth from their Lord intended to manifest the Truth and explain it, and the uncovering from it and its clarification. And as for those who disbelieve in Muhammad-saww by their objections to him-saww regarding Ali-asws, (by questioning) ‘Why? ’ and ‘How? ’ and yielding to him-saww in the rest of what he-saww ordered with, they are saying: What is it that Allah which Means by this example: He is Straying many by it and Guiding many by it! Those who disbelieved said: ‘Allah-azwj Strays many with these examples and Guides many by it – i. e. , – So what is the meaning of these examples, for if He-azwj Profits many by Guiding them then many also incur losses due to Him-azwj Causing them to go astray by it (as they deny the Clear Proofs due to their Kufr- disbelief). ’
Allah-azwj Refuted upon them by Saying to them: And He does not Let Stray by it (any) – Meaning Allah-azwj does not let Stray with the examples except the transgressors. The two offences upon themselves – by neglecting the contemplation of it, and placing it upon opposite to what Allah-azwj Commanded with placing it upon. ‘Then He-azwj Described the characteristics of these transgressors who exited from the Religion of Allah-azwj and His-azwj obedience from them, the Mighty and Majestic Says: Those who are breaking the Pact of Allah [2: 27] – the one Allah-azwj Took upon them with the Lordship, and for Muhammad-saww of the Prophet-hood and for Ali-asws of the Imamate, and for their Shias with their-asws love and prestige after Covenanting it – its Rulings and strictly obeying it. And are cutting asunder what Allah has Commanded to be joined – from the womb relationships and the relatives that they should be compacting and fulfilling their rights. And the most superior of the relationships and the most Obligatory right is the relationship with Muhammad-saww, for their rights with Muhammad-saww are just as the rights of the relatives of the person with his father and his mother, but Muhammad-saww is of greater rights than his parents. And similar to that the r
