Hadith 27

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws addressed us. He-asws said in it: ‘We testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone. There is no associate for Him-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww. He-azwj Sent him-saww with a Book. He-azwj Detailed it, and Judged it, and Preserved it with His-azwj Knowledge, and Judged it with His-azwj Noor, and Aided it with His-azwj Authority, and Guarded the one whom the personal desire does not refrain him, or the lust does not sway him. 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], and He-azwj did not Create it as a lengthy response, nor do its wonders perish. One says (believes) with it is ratified, and one who works (with it) is Rewarded, and the one contends with it falls, and one who fights (others) with it is Helped, and one who stands with it is guided to the Straight Path. In it is news of the ones who existed before you, and the ruling regarding what is between you, and news of your Hereafter, and He-azwj Revealed it with His-azwj Knowledge. And I keep Angels as witnesses with ratifying it. Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Face, Said: But Allah Testifies with what He has Revealed to you that He Revealed it by His Knowledge, and the Angels are testifying (also); and Suffice with Allah as a Witness [4: 166]. Allah-azwj has Made it a Noor, it Guides to that which is most upright [17: 9]. And Said: So when we recite it, then follow its recitation [75: 18]. And Said: Follow what is Revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow guardians from the ones besides Him. Little is what you are recalling [7: 3]. And Said: Therefore be steadfast as what you are Commanded to, and the ones with you who repent, and (they) should not transgress. He Sees what you are doing [11: 112]. In following what has come to you from Allah-azwj, is the mighty success, and in neglecting it is the clear error. He-azwj Said: So, when a Guidance comes to you from Me, then the one who follows Guidance, he will neither stray nor be wretched [20: 123]. So, He-azwj Made in following it, all good hoped for in the world and the Hereafter. The Quran is an instructor and a rebuker! The legal penalties are defined in it, and the Sunnahs are enacted in it, and the examples are struck in it, and the religion is legislated in it as Warning of His-azwj Commands and Argument upon His-azwj creatures having taken Your-azwj Covenants upon that, and Pledging your souls upon it in order to Clarify to them what they should be committing and what they should be fearing, for the ones to be destroyed from a clear proof and to Revive the ones to be revived from a clear proof, and surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing [8: 42]’’.
