Hadith 840

aid to him, ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! You earned the enmity of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the clean, your Imams-asws, in your ratification of these ones, so seek assistance with them no to assist you’. But he would not (be able to) find an aide, nor a helper, and he would come to the painful, abasing Punishment. Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘And the one who names us-asws with our-asws names, and entitles us-asws with our-asws titles, and does not name our-asws opposites (adversaries) with our-asws names, and does not entitle them with our-asws titles, except during necessity – which we-asws would name our-asws names, and we-asws would entitle our-asws enemies with our-asws titles – then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would be Saying to us-asws on the Day of Judgment: “Suggest for these friends of yours-asws what you-asws can be assisting them with”. So we-asws would (then) be suggesting to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic for them – what would happen to be a worth of the world, all of it, (and whatever) is in it – it’s worth being like a mustard seed in the skies and the earth, so Allah-azwj would Give it to them and Multiply it for them with a manifold multiples’. It was said to Al-Baqir-asws, ‘But there is one who pretends to have your-asws friendship, he is claiming that the mosquito [2: 26] – is Ali-asws, and that or what is above it [2: 26] – it is the fly, Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’. So Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘They have heard something and (but) did not place it upon its (correct) perspective. But rather, one day Rasool-Allah-saww, he-saww and Ali-asws were seated, when he-saww heard someone saying, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, and Muhammad-saww so desires’. And he-saww heard another one saying, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, and Ali-asws desires’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Do not pair Muhammad-saww nor Ali-asws with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. But, you should be saying, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, then Muhammad-saww desires what Allah-azwj Desired, then Ali-asws desires’. The Desire of Allah-azwj, it is the conquering which can neither be equalled, nor matched, nor be near to’. And Muhammad-saww, the Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj is not in the Religion of Allah-azwj, and in His-azwj Power, except like a fly flying around in these vast kingdoms. And Ali-asws is not in the Religion of Allah-azwj and in His-azwj Power except like a mosquito in the totality of these kingdoms.

This is what Rasool-Allah-saww regarding the mention of the fly and the mosquito – in this place, therefore do not include it in His-azwj Words Surely Allah has no Reservations from Striking an example – (that of) a mosquito [2: 26] (i. e. , it has nothing to do with the Verse)’’.

So, the mosquito is (a reference to) Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and what is above it, is (a reference to) Rasool-Allah-saww, and the evidence upon that are His-azwj Words: then as for those who believe, they are knowing that it is the Truth from their Lord [2: 26] – meaning Amir Al-Momineen-asws, just as Rasool-Allah-saww took the Covenant upon them for him-asws: What is it that Allah which Means by this example: He is Straying many by it and Guiding many by it! [2: 26]. Allah-azwj Responded against them Saying: And He does not Let Stray by it (any) except the transgressors [2: 26] Those who are
