Hadith 26

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Yusuf Bin Abdul Rahman, raising it to Al Haris Al Awr who said, ‘I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Whenever we are in your-asws presence, we hear that which strengthens our religion, and when we go out from your-asws presence, we hear different dismal things, we don’t know what these are! ’
He-asws said: ‘And you have done (experienced) it? ’
I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Fitna will be taking place in your-saww community! ’
I-saww said: ‘So what is the way out from it? ’
He-as said: ‘The Book of Allah-azwj, there is statement of the news before you all, and news of what is to be after you, and ruling of what is between you, and it is the decider not to be taken in jest. One whom a tyrant places in charge so he works with anything else Allah-azwj will Break him, and one who seeks the guidance in something else Allah-azwj will Stray him, and it is the strong rope of Allah-azwj, and it is the wise reminder (Zikr), and it is the straight path. It neither distorts the whims nor does is confuse the tongues. It does not originate from the speculation nor do its wonders terminate, nor do the scholars get fed up from it. It is which the Jinn did not have, when they heard it, they said, ‘We heard an amazing recitation! ’ [72: 1] Guiding to the right way, [72: 2]’. One who says (believes) with it is ratified, and one working with it is Recompensed, and one holding tightly to it is guided to the Straight Path. Is it the Mighty Book which, Neither did the falsehood come from before it, nor (would it come) from after it. (It is) a Revelation from the most Wise, the most Praised [41: 42]’’. [28]
