Hadith 133

Tafseer Al Qummi – From his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Minqary, from Hammad, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having been asked, ‘Are the Angels more of the children of Adam-as? ’
He-asws said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul, the number of the Angels in the skies is more than the number of dust particles in the earth, and there is no place in the sky for a foothold but there is an Angel Glorifying Him-azwj and Extolling His-azwj Holiness. And there is no tree in the earth, and no produce except that there is an Angel allocated to it. Allah-azwj Brings it for its work, and Allah-azwj is Aware of it. And there is none from it except that he comes closer to Allah-azwj every day by our-asws Wilayah, the People-asws of the Household, and seek Forgiveness for those that love us-asws, and curse our-asws enemies, and they ask Allah-azwj that He-azwj should Send Punishment upon them’. The Words of the Exalted: Those who are holding the Throne [40: 7] – Meaning Rasool-Allah-saww and the successors-asws from after him-saww, are bearing the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and ones around -Meaning the Angels, are Glorifying with Praise of their Lord and are believing in Him and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe – Meaning the Shias of the Progeny‑asws of Muhammad-saww. ‘O Lord! Your Mercy and Knowledge Extends to all things, therefore Forgive those who repent -from the wilayah of so and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and the clan of Umayya, and follow Your Way, i. e. , the Wilayah of Ali-asws, the Guardian from Allah-azwj – and Save them from the Punishment of the Blazing Fire! ’ [40: 7] – up to His-azwj Words: the Wise [40: 8]. So that is their righteousness, And Save them from evil deeds, and the one You Save from the evil deeds on this Day, so You have been Merciful to him, – meaning the Day of Qiyamah – and that, it is the mighty success [40: 9] – for the one Grants salvation from them, meaning the wilayah of so and so, and so and so’’.
