Hadith 13

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al Askari-asws) – ‘The Imam-asws said: ‘Words of the Exalted: Many of the People of the Book would like it, if they could turn you away from after your Eman as Kafirs, out of envy from themselves, from after the clarification of the Truth to them. But, be pardoning and overlooking, until Allah Comes with His Command. Allah is Able upon all things [2: 109]. The Imam Al-Hassan–asws Bin Ali–asws, father of Al-Qaim–asws said: ‘Regarding the Words of the Exalted: Many of the People of the Book would like it, if they could turn you back from after your Eman as Kafirs – with what they are responding upon you from the confusion, out of envy from the themselves – for you all that you have been honoured by Him-azwj and Ali–asws and their–asws goodly Progeny-asws, the clean, from after the clarification of the Truth to them – with the miracles evidencing upon the truthfulness of Him-azwj and the merits of Ali–asws and their–asws Progeny-asws from after him–asws. But, be pardoning and overlooking – from their ignorance, and confront them with the Arguments of Allah-azwj, and repel their falsehood by these, until Allah Comes with His Command – regarding them, with the fighting on the Day of the conquest of Makkah. So this is where you–saww would be exiling them from the city of Makkah and from the Arabian Peninsula, and they will not be dwelling in it as Kafirs. Allah is Able upon all things [2: 109] – and of His–azwj Power upon the things is Ordaining what is correct for you all in you worshipping Him-azwj. Beware of their benevolence and their facing in the debate by that which is good’’. He (Imam Hassan Al-Askari–asws) said: ‘And that is, when the Muslims were hit by the adversity on the day of (the battle of) Ohad what hit them, a group of the Jews met up after a few days, with Ammar Bin Yasser–ra, and Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman–ra, and they said to them–ra, ‘Did you two not see what hit you on the Day of Ohad? But rather, he–saww went to war just like someone (else) does seeking the kingdom of the world. His–saww war was undecided (no winner). So, sometimes it is for him–saww and sometimes against him–saww, therefore return from his–saww Religion’. As for Huzeyfa–ra, he–ra said, ‘May Allah-azwj Curse you! I–ra will neither sit with you nor listen to your speech. I–ra fear upon myself and my Religion, and I–ra flee from you due to these two’. And he–ra arose from them hurriedly. And as for Ammar Bin Yasser–ra, so he–ra did not arise from them, but he–ra said to them, ‘Community of Jews! Him-azwj promised his–saww companions victory on the Day of Badr if they were patient. They were patient and they were victorious. And he–saww promised them the victory on the Day of Ohad as well, if they were patient. But, they failed and opposed, therefore, due to that it hit them what hit them. And had they obeyed and been patient and not opposed, they would have overcome’. The Jew said to him–ra, ‘O Ammar–ra! And if you were to obey, would Him-azwj overcome the chiefs of Quraysh, with those thin legs
