In the book Al-Kahsaail:

(It is reported) from Abu Abdullahasws: ‘Ibleesla shrieked four shrieks. First one was on the day when hela was Cursed, and when hela was cast down to the earth, and when Muhammadsaww was Sent after an interval from the Rasoolsas, and when the ‘Mother of the Book’ (Umm Al-Kitaab) was Sent down’.2

حممد بن حسان، عن ابن بابويه، قال: حدثين أيب )رمحه اهلل(، قال: حدثين حممد بن حيىي العطار، عن حممد بن أمحد، عناسم اهلل »قال أبو عبداهلل )عليه السالم(: إمساعيل بن مهران، قال: حدثين احلسن بن علي بن أيب محزة البطائين، عن أبيه، قال:

حممد بن حيىي، عن امحد بن حممد، عن حممد بن سنان، عن سلمة بن حمرز قال: مسعت ابا جعفر عليه السالم يقول: من مل يربأه احلمد مل يربأه شئ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Salmat Bin Mahraz who said:

‘I heard from Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘The one whom Al-Hamd does not cure will not get cured by anything’.4

من نالته علة، فليقرأ احلمد يف جيبه سبع مرات، فإن ذهبت، و إرا »)أمايل الشيخ( بإسناده، قال: قال الصادق )عليه السالم(: «.العافيةفليقرأها سبعني مرة، و أنا الضامن له

Amaaly of Al-Shaykh – by his chain, said:

‘Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘The one who is seized by an illness, so he recites ‘Al-Hamd’ upon himself seven times (7), and if it goes away, or else he recites it seventy times (70), and Iasws would be a guarantor of the good health for him’.5

عن امسعيل بن أبان يرفعه إىل النيب صلى اهلل عليه وآله قال: قال رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله جلابر بن عبد اهلل: يا جابر أرا اهلل علمنيها، أعلمك أفضل سورة انزهلا اهلل يف كتابه ؟ قال: فقال جابر: بلى بأىب انت وامى يا رسول

From Ismail Bin Aban,

(It is) with an unbroken chain going up to the Prophetsaww, said, ‘Rasool Allahsaww said to Jabir Bin Abdullah: ‘O Jabir! Shall Isaww teach you the most superior Chapter which Allahazwj Revealed in Hisazwj Book?’ Jabir said, ‘Yes, may my father (be sacrificed for) yousaww as well as my mother, O Rasool Allahsaww, teach it to me’.

قال: فعلمه احلمد هلل ام الكتاب، قال: مث قال له: يا جابر ارا اخربك عنها ؟ قال: بلى باىب انت وامى فاخربين، قال: هي شفاء ام يعىن املوتمن كل داء ارا الس

He (the narrator) said, ‘So hesaww taught him Al-Hamd, Mother of the Book, then said: ‘O Jabir! Shall Isaww inform you about it?’ He said, ‘Yes, may my father (be sacrificed for) yousaww as well as my mother, inform me’. Hesaww said: ‘It is a healing from every illness except for the poison, meaning the death’.6

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘If Sura Al-Hamd is recited seventy times over a dead body, and then if the soul comes back into it that would not be a surprise’.7

حيىي، عن أمحد بن حممدد بدن عيسدى، عدن حممدد بدن إمساعيدل بدن بزيدع، عدن عبدداهلل بدن الفضدل، رفعده، قدال: و عنه: عن حممد بن «.ما قرأت احلمد على وجع سبعني مرة إرا سكن»

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Abdullah Bin Al Fazl, raising it,

Heasws said: ‘Al-Hamd (Chapter 1) would not be recited upon a pain seventy (70) times, except it would settle’’.8

And from Ibn Masoud,

(It has been narrated) from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘The one who recites In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Allahazwj would Write for him four thousand good deeds for every letter, and Delete four thousand evil deeds from him, and Raise four thousand levels for him’’.9

OVERVIEW

«.سبعني بعريا يف تفسري فاحتة الكتابلو شئت ألوقرت »و قال )عليه السالم( يف حديث آخر:

And heasws (Amir-Al-Momineenasws) said in another Hadeeth: ‘If Iasws so desired to, Iasws would have loaded seventy camels, with the explanation of ‘Opening of the Book’ (Surah Al-Fatiha)’.10

موسى بن جعفر عن أبيه عليهما السالم قال: قال رايب حنيفة ماسورة أوهلا حتميد وأوسطها عن حممد بن سنان عن أىب احلسناخالص وآخرها دعاء ؟ فبقى متحريا مث قال: را أدرى فقال أبو عبد اهلل عليه السالم: السورة الىت أوهلا حتميد، وأوسطها

From Muhammad Bin Sinan,

Muhammad Bin Sayaar, from their forefathers, who from:

رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله قال اهلل عزوجل: قسمت فاحتة الكتاب بيىن وبني عبدى فنصفها ىل ونصفها لعبدي، ولعبدي قال ما سأل،

‘The Rasool Allahsaww said that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘Iazwj have Divided the ‘Opening of the Book’ (Surah Al-Fatiha) between Myselfazwj and Myazwj servant. So half of it is for Meazwj and half of it is for Myazwj servant, and for Myazwj servant is whatever he asks for’.

أحواله إذا قال العبد: بسم اهلل الرمحن الرحيم قال اهلل جل جالله: بدأ عبدى بامسى وحق على ان امتم له اموره وابارك له يف

When the servant says In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Allahazwj Says: ‘Myazwj servant has begun with Myazwj Name, and it is his right that Iazwj should Complete for him his affairs and Bless him in his situations’.

قال: احلمد هلل رب العاملني قال جل جالله: محدين عبدى وعلم ان النعم الىت له من عندي، وان الباليا الىت دفعت عنه فإذا فبتطوىل اشهدكم اىن اضيف له إىل نعم الدنيا نعم اراخرة، وادفع عنه باليا اراخرة كما دفعت عنه باليا الدنيا

So when he says All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], the Majestic Says: ‘Myazwj servant has Praised me and he knows that the bounties which are with him are from Meazwj, and the afflictions that have been dispelled from him are by Meazwj. Iazwj Make you (Angelsas and Prophetsas) to be Myazwj witnesses that Iazwj will Increase his bounties of the world with the Bounties of the Hereafter, and will Dispel

from him his afflictions of the Hereafter just like Iazwj have Dispelled from him his afflictions of the world’.

قال اهلل جل جالله: شهدىل عبدى اىن الرمحن الرحيم، اشهدكم راوفرن من رمحىت حظه، وراجزلن من الرحيموإذا قال: الرمحن عطائي نصيبه،

And when he says The Beneficent, the Merciful [1:3], Allahazwj Says: ‘Myazwj servant has testified that Iazwj am the Beneficent, the Merciful. Be Myazwj witnesses that Iazwj will Grant him a share from Myazwj Mercy, and a prime portion of Myazwj Gifts to him’.

حسابه، ورا جتاوزن فإذا قال: مالك يوم الدين قال اهلل تعاىل: اشهدكم كما اعرتر اىن انا امللك يوم الدين راسهلن يوم احلساب عن سيئاته،

When he says Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4], Allahazwj Says: ‘Be Myazwj witnesses (Angelsas and Prophetsas). Just as he has acknowledged the fact that Iazwj am the Master of the Reckoning, Iazwj will Make his Reckoning to be easy for him on the Day of Reckoning, and will Overlook his sins‘.

فإذا قال العبد: اياك نعبد قال اهلل عزوجل: صدق عبدى، اياى يعبد اشهدكم راثيبنه على عبادته ثوابا يغبطه كل من خالفه يف عبادته ىل:

When the servant says (It is) You we worship [1:5], Allahazwj Says: ‘Myazwj servant has spoken the truth that he has worshipped Meazwj. Be Myazwj witnesses (Angelsas and Prophetsas) that Iazwj shall Grant him such Rewards for his worship that those who had opposed him in his worship to Meazwj, would envy him’.

فإذا قال: واياك نستعني قال اهلل تعاىل: ىب استعان، واىل التجأ، اشهدكم راعيننه على أمره، وراغيثنه يف شدايده وآلخذن بيده يوم نوائبه،

When he says And You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5], Allahazwj the Exalted Says: ‘He has asked Meazwj for Support to Meazwj he has sought Refuge. Be Myazwj witnesses that Iazwj shall Aid him in his affairs, and will Rescue him from harsh conditions and will Hold his hand in days of his difficulties’.

جل جالله: هذا العبدى ولعبدي ما سأل، فقد استجبت لعبدي فإذا قال: اهدنا الصراط املستقيم إىل آخر السورة قال اهلل وأعطيته ما أمل، وآمنته مماوجل منه.

When he says Guide us to be on the Straight Path [1:6] - till the end of the Chapter, Allahazwj Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty Says: ‘This is for Myazwj servant, and to him is what he asks for. Iazwj have Answered to Myazwj servant and Granted him what he wanted, and Protected him from what he feared’.12

And it has been reported in Al-Faqih regarding what has been mentioned by Al-Fazl, meaning Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan from Al-Illal, who has said:

‘Al-Rezaasws said: ‘Heazwj Commanded the people to recite in the Salat (Prayer), so that the Quran would not become abandoned and wasted, and that it should become preserved, learnt, so do not let it fade and do not be ignorant of it. But rather, begin with Al-Hamd instead of the rest of the Chapters, because there is nothing from the Quran and the Speech in which is gathered together the whole of the Good and the Wisdom, what has been Gathered in Surah Al-Hamd, and that is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: The Praise is for Allah [1:2] – It is Calling to what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Obligated upon Hisazwj creatures from the appreciation. And the appreciation is what is in accordance with Hisazwj servant from the goodness.

و متحيد له، و إقرار بأنه اخلالق املالك را غريه. الرمحن الرحيم استعطافه و ذكر آرائه و نعمائه على مجيع رب العالمني توحيد ين إقرار له بالبعث، و احلساب، و اجملازاة، و إجياب ملك اآلخرة له، كإجياب ملك الدنيا. خلقه. مالك يدوم الد

Lord of the Worlds [1:2], is the Oneness and the Praise to Himazwj, and the acceptance that Heazwj is most certainly the Creator, not someone else. The Beneficent, the Merciful [1:3], is the appealing to Himazwj and remembering the Favours, and Hisazwj Bounties upon all of Hisazwj creatures. Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4], is acceptance to Himazwj of the Resurrection, and the Reckoning, and the Recompensing, and the affirmation that Heazwj is the King of the Hereafter, just as the affirmation that Heazwj is the King of the world.

و إياك نستعني استزادة من توفيقه، و عبادته، و إياك ندعبد رغبة و تقرب إىل اهلل تعاىل ذكره، و إخالص له بالعمل دون غريه.املعرفة لربه عز و جل و استدامة ملا أنعم عليه و نصره. اهدنا الصراط المستقيم اسرتشاد لدينه، و اعتصام حببله، و استزادة يف

كربيائه و عظمته.

(It is) You we worship [1:5], is a wish to be closer to Allahazwj, Elevated is Hisazwj Mention, and of being sincere to Himazwj with the deeds instead of someone else. And You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5], is seeking more of Hisazwj Guidance, and Hisazwj worship, and for the continuation of what Heazwj has Favoured to him, and for Hisazwj Help. Guide us to be on the Straight Path [1:6], is Guidance to Hisazwj Religion, and holding to Hisazwj Rope (Hisazwj Divine Imamsasws), and the continuation to be with the recognition of his Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic, and Hisazwj Greatness and Magnificence.

The path of those You have Bestowed Bounties upon [1:7], is the denial in the asking and the wishing, and (instead) remembering what has proceeded from Hisazwj Bounties upon Hisazwj Guardians, and wishing for the similar of those Bounties. other than of those You are Wrathful upon, is the seeking of Refuge from becoming one of the obstinate ones, the infidels, and the belittling of Hisazwj Commands and Hisazwj Prohibitions. nor of the straying ones, is not budging from becoming from the ones who have strayed from Hisazwj Way, from other than the understanding, and they reckon that they are acting in a goodly manner. And there has been Gathered therein (Surah Al-Hamd) from the whole of the Good and the Wisdom, from the matters of the Hereafter and the world, what has not been Gathered in anything from the things’.13

THE MASAANY (DOUBLE)

In Tafseer Ayyashi from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman from the one with an unbroken chain who said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj And We have Given you seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the Magnificent Quran [15:87], heasws said: ‘It is the Chapter of Al-Hamd and it contains seven Verses including In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], and it is called ‘Masany’ (double) because it is (recited) twice in the two cycles (of Prayer)’.14

إذا كانت لك حاجة، فاقرأ املثاين و سورة أخرى، وصل ركعتني، »عن أيب بكر احلضرمي، قال: قال أبو عبداهلل )عليه السالم(: «.فاحتة الكتاب بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم احلمد لله رب العالمني »ال: قلت: أصلحك اهلل، و ما املثاين؟ ق«. وادع اهلل

From Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Whenever you have a need, so recite ‘The seven oft-repeated Verses’ (Al-Masany) and another Chapter, and Pray two cycles of Prayer, and supplicate to Allahazwj’. I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well, and what are ‘The seven oft-repeated Verses?’ Heasws said: ‘The Opening of the Book – In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. The Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2] (i.e. Chapter 1)’.15

عن أبيه، عن جده، عن علي )عليه السالم(، قال: بلغه أن أناسا ينزعون بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم، فقال: عن عيسى بن عبداهلل، «.هي آية من كتاب اهلل، أنساهم إياها الشيطان»

From Isa Bin Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather:

(It has been narrated) from Aliasws having said: ‘It reached himasws that they had removed بس الرحمن الرحي In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], so heasws said: ‘It is a Verse from the Book of Allahazwj, the Satanla made them remove it’.20

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Yahya Bin Abu Imran Al-Hamadani, who said:

‘I wrote a letter to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, what do youasws say about a man who started with ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’ in his Salat once in the Mother of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha), but when he recites a Chapter other than the Mother of the Book, he ignored it? Al-Abbasi said that there is no harm in it’. Heasws wrote back in hisasws own writing, ‘Recite it twice even if it grinds the nose of Al-Abbasside (as a snub)’.21

So heasws gave him an appointment at night. So when he came, he said, ‘What is the first (start) of the Quran?’ Heasws said: ‘Al-Fatiha’. He said, ‘And what is the start of Al-Fatiha?’ Heasws said: ‘Bismillah’ (In the Name of Allahazwj)’. He said, ‘And what is the start of Bismillah?’ Heasws said: ‘Bism’ (In the Name).

I have heard Rasool-Allahsaww say: 'Allahazwj Said to me, 'O Muhammadsaww And We have Given you seven of the oft-repeated (verses) and the Magnificent Quran [15:87]. Allahazwj Referred to it separately in the Opening of the Book and Made it special to the Magnificent Quran and this Opening of the Book is from the treasures of the Throne.'

Indeed! So the one who recites this and believes in the Wilayah of Muhammadsaww and hissaww Pure Progenyasws, and believes in their manifest and hidden matters, then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Give him a Reward for every letter of it, each of which will be better than this world and whatever is in it from the varieties of its wealth and (all of) its goodness.

From Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool Allahsaww would recite loudly بس الرحمن الرحي and raise hissaww voice with it. Whenever the Polytheists heard it, they would turn back.

From Safwan Al-Jamal who said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj has not Sent down from the sky a Book but it has opened with بس الرحمن الرحي, but rather, it was understood upon the ending of the Chapter by the Revelation of بس الرحمن الرحي and the start of another one’.33

A number of our companions from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Idrees Al-Harisy, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from MufazzAl-Bin Umar who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Protect yourselves from all the people by بس الرحمن الرحي and by Say He Allah is One"[112:1]. Recite these on your right and on your left and on your front and on your back and above your (head) and below (on your feet). And if you have to go to an unjust authority (Sultan), then recite these three times when you see him, and close your left fist, then do not open it until you come out from his presence’.34

And in it from Al-Sadiqasws, a lengthy Hadeeth and in it is: ‘Perhaps some of our Shiites would ignore the recitation of بس الرحمن الرحي at the start of an affair, Allahazwj the Mighty the Majestic would Test him so that he would thank Allahazwj Blessed and High, and Praise Himazwj, and that would destroy the stigma of his negligence in the recitation of ‘ 35.’بس الرحمن الرحي

That is, ‘I am Assisted upon my affairs, all of them, by Allahazwj, Who, no one is rightful of the worship except for Himazwj, and the Helper when Heazwj is Cried to for help, and the Answerer when supplicated to.

And it is what a man said to Al-Sadiqasws, O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! Point me to Allahazwj, what is Heazwj, for the debaters are numerous against me and they are confusing me?’ So heasws said to him: ‘O servant of Allahazwj!

Heasws said: ‘Has it ever broken with you where there is no (other) ship to save you, nor could the swimming (to the shore) suffice you?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

Heasws said: ‘So did your heart attach over there, that there is something from the things which has the ability upon finishing you from your predicament?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

Heasws said: ‘And a man stood up to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws and he said, ‘Inform me, what is the meaning of ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’ ?’ So Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Myasws fatherasws narrated to measws, from hisasws brother Al-Hassanasws, from hisasws father Amir Al-Momineenasws that a man stood up to himasws and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Inform me about ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’, what is its meaning?’ Heasws said: ‘Your word, ‘Allah’, is the most Magnificent Name from the Names of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and it is the Name which is not befitting that any other than Allahazwj should be named with, and a creature cannot be named with it’.

عند انقطاع الرجاء من مجيع من قال: هو الذي يتأله إليه عند احلوائج و الشدائد كل خملوق، فقال الرجل: فما تفسري قول اهلل؟[ كل مرتئس يف هذه الدنيا، و متعظم فيها، و إن عظم غناه و ]هو[ دونه، و تقطع األسباب من كل ما سواه، و ذلك ]أن

طغيانه، و كثرت حوائج من دونه إليه،

So the man said, ‘So what is the interpretation of the word ‘Allah’?’ Heasws said: ‘Heazwj the One who is restored to during the needs and the difficulties by every creature, during the cutting-off of the hopes from the entirety of the ones who are besides Himazwj, and the reasons are cut off from everyone who is besides Himazwj, and that is because every presider in this world and the one who is magnified therein, his riches are great and (so is) his tyranny, and the needs of the ones to him get broken.

Thus, they are placing their needs to this presider who as no ability upon it. And similar to that, this presider (himself) is needy of the needs, not having ability over it. So he cuts-off to Allahazwj (from the others) during his necessity and his destitution until when his worries are suffice with, he return to thanking Himazwj.

So Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty Said to Hisazwj servants: “O you who crave for Myazwj Mercy! Iazwj have Necessitated the need to Meazwj during every state, and the humiliation of the slavery during every time. Therefore, to Meazwj you should be panicking regarding every matter you are taking to and wishing for its completion and reaching its end. So Iazwj, If Iazwj so Intend to, Iazwj shall Give you. There is no one who is able upon preventing you apart from Meazwj. And if Iazwj Intend to Prevent (from) you, there is no one able upon giving you apart from Meazwj. Thus, Iazwj am the most rightful One to be asked, and the foremost of the One to be invocated to”.

بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم أي: استعني على هذا األمر، الذي را حتق العبادة لغريه، إرا له، فقولوا عند افتتاح كل أمر صغري أو عظيم اجمليب إذا دعي، املغيث إذا استغيث، الرمحن الذي يرحم يبسط الرزق علينا، الرحيم بنا يف أدياننا، و دنيانا، و آخرتنا، خفف

«.نا بتمييزنا من أعدائهعلينا الدين، و جعله سهال خفيفا، و هو يرمح

Therefore, you should be saying at the beginning of every matter, little or large, ‘ بس i.e., I seek assistance upon this matter of the Oneazwj Who, there is – ’ الرحمن الرحي none who is rightful of the worship except for Himazwj, the Answerer when Heazwj is supplicated to, the Helper when Heazwj is cried for help to, the Beneficent Who has been Merciful by extending the sustenance upon us, the Merciful with us in our Religion and our world, and our Hereafter, Lightened the Religion upon us, and Made it to be easy, light, and Heazwj has been Merciful to us by Distinguished us from Hisazwj enemies.

قال رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل عليه و آله(: من حزنه أمر تعاطاه فقال: بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم و هو خملص هلل، و يقبل »مث قال: بقلبه إليه، مل ينفك من إحدى اثنتني: إما بلوغ حاجته يف الدنيا، و إما يعد له عند ربه و يدخر له، و ما عند اهلل خري و أبقى

Then heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The one whom the matter of his transaction grieves him, so he says ‘ الرحي بس الرحمن ’, and he is sincere to Allahazwj, and he turns to Himazwj with his heart, would not be detached from one of the two – either the accomplishment of his need in the world, or it would be counted for him in the Presence of his Lordazwj and hoarded for him (in the Hereafter); and whatever is in the Presence of Allahazwj is better and more lasting for the Momineen’’.37

Abdullah Bin Yahya had come over to Amir Al-Momineenasws, and in front of himasws was a chair. So heasws instructed him to be seated upon it. He sat upon it, and it inclined with him until he fell upon his head, and it exposed a bone from his head, and the blood flowed. So Amir Al-Momineenasws ordered for the water and what that blood off from him, then said: ‘Come near measws’. So he went closer, and heasws placed hisasws hand upon his injury - and he had found such pain what he could not be patient upon - and heasws wiped hisasws hand upon it and applied spittle in it, until it healed and came to be as if nothing had hit him at all.

قال أمري املؤمنني )عليه السالم(: يا عبداهلل، احلمد هلل الذي جعل متحيص ذنوب شيعتنا يف الدنيا مبحنهم، لتسلم هلم و طاعاتم، و يستحقوا عليها ثوابا.

And Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Abdullah! The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Made a scrutiny of the sins of ourasws Shias in the world with their ordeals, it order to safeguard their obedience and they would be deserving of its Rewards upon it’.

ليه قال: نعم، أما مسعت قول رسول اهلل )صلى اهلل ع فقال عبداهلل بن حيىي: يا أمري املؤمنني، و إنا را جنازى بذنوبنا إرا يف الدنيا؟احملن، و مبا يغفره و آله(: الدنيا سجن املؤمن، و جنة الكافر. إن اهلل تعاىل طهر شيعتنا من ذنوبم يف الدنيا مبا يبتليهم به من

القيامة، توفرت فإن اهلل تعاىل يقول: و ما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم و يدعفوا عن كثري حىت إذا وردوا يوم هلم، عليهم طاعاتم و عباداتم.

So Abdullah Bin Yahya said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! And we would not be chastised for our sins except in the world?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes. Have you not heard the words of Rasool-Allahsaww: ‘The world is a prison for the Momin and a garden for the disbeliever?’ Allahazwj the Exalted Cleans ourasws Shias from their sins in the world with what Heazwj Afflicts them with, from the adversities, and by what (sins) Heazwj Forgives for them, as Allahazwj the Exalted is Saying And whatever affliction befalls you, it is on account of what your hands have wrought, and (yet) He Pardons most (of your faults) [42:30], until when they return on the Day of Judgment, (the Rewards of) their obedient acts and their worship would be made available to them.

حىت إذا وافوا القيامة، -و إن كان را وزن هلا، ألنه را إخالص معها -و إن أعداءنا جيازيهم عن طاعة تكون يف الدنيا منهم محلت عليهم ذنوبم، و بغضهم حملمد و آله )صلوات اهلل عليهم أمجعني( و خيار أصحابه، فقذفوا يف النار.

And (as for) ourasws enemies, they would be Recompensed of the obedient acts which happen from them in the world - and even if there was no weight to it, because there would not be sincerity with it – until when they come on the (Day of) Judgment, their sins would be loaded upon them, and (as well as) their hatred for Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws, and the good ones of hissaww companions, so they would be flung into the Fire’.

So Abdullah Bin Yahya said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Youasws have benefited me and taught me. So if youasws see fit if youasws could introduce me to my sin which I was Tested with in this sitting, until I do not repeat to the likes of it?’ Heasws said: ‘You neglected, when you sat down, that you should be saying ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’, so Allahazwj Made that, for your forgetfulness from what you lamented to Himazwj, as a of what hit you. But, do you not know that Rasool-Allahsaww narrated to measws from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Said: “Every matter of significance in which the Name of Allahazwj is no mentioned, so it would be cut off (unaccomplished)?’.

را أتركها بعدها. قال: إذن حتظى و تسعد. -بأيب أنت و أمي -فقلت: بلى

So I said, ‘Yes, by my father and my mother (being sacrificed for) youasws – I will not neglect it after (this)’. Heasws said: ‘Then you would be fortified and happy’.

قال: إن العبد إذا أراد أن يقرأ، أو يعمل عمال، فيقول: قال عبداهلل بن حيىي: يا أمري املؤمنني، ما تفسري بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم؟يبدأ فيه ب بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم فإنه مبارك له بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم أي بذا اراسم أعمل هذا العمل، فكل عمل يعمله،

Abdullah Bin Yahya said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! What is the interpretation of ‘ بس Heasws said: ‘The servant, when he wants to recite, or do a deed, so ’?’ الرحمن الرحي he is saying, ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’, i.e. ‘It is by this Name I am doing this deed’, so every deed he does beginning with ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’, so there would be Blessings for him in it’.38

من قرأ بسم الله الرمحن الرحيم بىن اهلل له يف اجلنة سبعني ألف قصر من ياقوتة »و روي عن النيب )صلى اهلل عليه و آله( قال: محراء، يف كل قصر سبعون ألف بيت من لؤلؤة بيضاء، يف كل بيت سبعون ألف سرير من زبرجدة خضراء، فوق كل سرير سبعون

And it has been reported from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘ بس الرحمن الرحي’’, Allahazwj would Build for him in the Paradise seventy thousand castles of red rubies. In each castle would be seventy thousand houses of white pearls. In each house would be seventy thousand beds of green emeralds. On top of each of the beds would be mattresses of silk and brocade upon which would be a wife from the beautiful Houries, and she would have seventy thousand locks of hair crowned with coral and rubies.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Hisham Bin Al-Hakam, who says:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Names of Allahazwj and their Derivatives, ‘From what has ‘Allah’ been derived from?’ Heasws said to me: ‘O Hisham! ‘Allah’ has been derived from ‘Ilah’ and ‘Alaah’ which necessitates a worshipper and the Name is not the same as the Named. So, the one who worships the Name without the Meaning, so he has blasphemed and has not worshipped anything. And the one who worships the Name and the Meaning, so he has blasphemed as he has worshipped two. And the one who has worshipped the Meaning without the Name, so that is the Oneness (Al-Tawheed). Do you understand, O Hisham?’ I said, ‘Increase it for me’.

قال: إن هلل تسعة وتسعني امسا فلو كان اراسم هو املسمى لكان كل اسم منها إهلا ولكن اهلل معىن يدل عليه بذه ارامساء وكلها الثوب اسم للملبوس والنار اسم للمحرق أفهمت يا هشام فهما تدفع غريه، يا هشام اخلبز اسم للمأكول واملاء اسم للمشروب و

به وتناضل به أعداء نا واملتخذين مع اهلل عزوجل غريه؟ قلت: نعم، قال: فقال: نفعك اهلل به وثبتك يا هشام،

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj has ninety nine Names. Had every Name been (the same as) the Named, then every one of them would be a god, but Allahazwj is Evidenced by these Names, and all of these are other than Himazwj. O Hisham! The ‘Bread’ is a name of a food and the ‘Water’ is the name of a drink, and the ‘Cloth’ is a name of the garment, and the ‘Fire’ is a name of the incinerators. Do you understand, O Hisham with an understanding by which you can defend against, and struggle against ourasws enemies, and those that take someone else along with Allahazwj?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj benefit you by it and Keep you to be steadfast, O Hisham’.

قال هشام فواهلل ما قهرين أحد يف التوحيد حىت قمت مقامي هذا.

Hisham said, ‘By Allahazwj! No one was able to defeat me regarding Oneness (Al-Tawheed) until he were to stand in this place of mine (reach to my level of understanding)’.42

Heasws said: “The Praise is for Allah” - it is the recognition by him of some of Allahazwj’s Bounties to him, in summary, as he does not have the ability to recognise all of them in detail, because they are too numerous to list or recognise’.

، من اجلمادات، و احليوانات: علينا. على ما أندعم به « احلمد لله »فدقال هلم: قولوا: )رب العالمني( و هم اجلماعامتن كل خملوق ها من رزقه، و حيوطها بكنفه و يدبدر كالا منها مبصلحته.فأما احليوانات، فدهو يدقلبها يف قدرته، و يدغذو

Heasws said to them: ‘Say the Words The Praise is for Allah [1:2] for the Bounties that have been Bestowed.’ The Lord of the worlds includes the communities of all creatures from the vegetation and animals. As for the animals, Heazwj has placed in their hearts ability to fend for themselves and also all about for their betterment.

ن ه، ميسك ما اتصل منها أن يدتهافت، و ميسك المتهافت منها أن يدتالصقو ميسك السماء أ و أما اجلمادات فدهو ميسكها بقدرت رحيم. ، و ميسك األر، أن تدنخسف إرا بأمره، إنه بعباده رءور تدقع على األر، إرا بإذنه

And as for the vegetation, Heazwj Maintains it by Hisazwj Power, and Maintains it, and Holds the sky so that it does not fall down on the earth except by Hisazwj Permission, and the earth does not collapse except by Hisazwj Command, Heazwj is Gracious and Merciful to Hisazwj servants.’

فالرزق و سائق أرزاقهم، إليهم، من حيث يدعلمون، و من حيث را يدعلمون. -قال ع: و )رب العالمني( مالكهم و خالقهم نديا، ليس لتقوى متق بزائدة ، و را لفجور فاجر بناقصة ، و بد مقسوم، و هو يأت ابن آدم ع ينه و بدينه لى أي سرية سارها من الد

الموت.رزقه لطلبه رزقه كما يطلبه و لو أن أحدكم يفر من سرت و هو طالبه.

Heasws said: ‘And ‘ رب العالمين’ means that Heazwj is their Master and their Creator and gives them sustenance from whether they know whether they know not. Sustenance has been categorised, and Heazwj gives to the son of Adamas equally regardless of which way he adopts. The pious does not get more due to his piety nor does the mischief maker get less due to his mischief. Between him and his sustenance that he strives for there is a veil. If any of you do not go and seek his sustenance, then sustenance will seek him out like death seeks him out.

ن على ما أندعم به علينا، و ذكرنا به من خري يف كتب األولني م « احلمد لله »[: فدقال الله تدعاىل هلم: قولوا: قال ]أمري المؤمنني عا فضلهم ]به على ففي هذا إجياب على حممد و آل حممد لما فضله و فضلهم، و على شيعتهم أن يشكروه مب قدبل أن نكون.

Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘Allahazwj Said to them, ‘Be saying The Praise is for Allah [1:2] for the Bounties that have been given to you, and Weazwj have Mentioned it with it the good in the Former Books beforehand. So in this is an obligation to Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws that theyasws been Favoured with to be above all others and theirasws Shias, that they should be thankful with what they have been Favoured by being above all others except for themasws.’49

And it has been narrated from Al-Sadiqasws: ‘The Beneficent is a special Name with general Characteristics, and the Merciful is a general Name with special Characteristics’.53

يف هنج البالغة: رحيم را يوصف بالرقة.

In Nahj-ul-Balagah: ‘Merciful, Whose Mercy is indescribable’.54

شفقة ومنها جود، وان رمحة اهلل ثوابه خللقه وللرمحة يف كتاب اراهليلجة قال الصادق عليه السالم: ان الرمحة وما حيدث لنا منها من العباد شيئان أحدمها حيدث يف القلب الرأفة والرقة ملا يرى باملرحوم من الضر واحلاجة وضروب البالء واراخر ما حيدث منا بعد

ن وامنا يريد الفعل الذى حدث عن الرقة الرأفة واللطف على املرحوم واملعرفة منا مبا نزل به، وقد يقول القائل ! انظر إىل رمحة فالالىت يف قلب فالن وامنا يضار إىل اهلل عزوجل من فعل ما حدث عنا من هذه اراشياء واما املعىن الذى يف القلب فهو منفى عن

اهلل كما وصف عن نفسه، فهو رحيم رارمحة رقة.

In the book Al-Ahliyaljat, Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘Verily the mercy which is referred to usasws, from that is pathos and generosity, and the Mercy of Allahazwj is Hisazwj Reward to Hisazwj creation. And, the mercy of the servants is when one of the two things happens. One of this is the clemency and tenderness he feels in his heart when he sees someone in adversity and need and struck by affliction. And another, when he is told about a deceased and he feels compassion and kindness to him and the speakers would say, ‘Look at the mercy of that person’. And he wanted to act based upon the tenderness in his heart for that person, and it is more with Allahazwj the Mighty and Majestic than what happens with us from this thing, for Allahazwj is far from having an organ, like the description of Himself, for Heazwj is Merciful, and Hisazwj Mercy is not a creation’.55

مام ع بعباده « الرحيم »العاطف على خلقه بالرزق، را يدقطع عنهم مواد رزقه، و إن اندقطعوا عن طاعته. «: الرمحن » قال اإل يف دعائهم إىل موافدقته. -طاعاته و بعباده الكافرين يف الرفق بم المؤمنني يف ختفيفه عليهم

The Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) said: ‘The Beneficent – Heazwj Gives sustenance to Hisazwj creation which never gets cut off even if they cut off their obedience to Himazwj. The Merciful – With the Momineen servants. Heazwj makes their obedience easy for them, and for the disbelieving servants, approves their supplications with Kindness.’

Heasws said: ‘Amir-Al-Momineenasws said: ‘The Beneficent – Heazwj Gives sustenance to Hisazwj creation. It is Hisazwj Mercy that when a child does not yet have the strength to run around and acquire its sustenance, Heazwj Gives that strength to his mother so that she can look after the child. And if the mother does not look after the child then it becomes more than obligatory for the rest of the Momineen to look after the child. Some animals have not been given this instinct to look after their young ones and so they start looking for their own sustenance very shortly after birth.

و مشتق من الرمحة مسعت رسول الله ص يدقول: قال الله عز « الرمحن » أن قدوله «: الرمحن » قال ع: و تدفسري قدوله عز و جل [ الرحم شققت هلا امسا من امسي، من وصلها وصلته، و من قطعها قطعته. و هي ]من «. الرمحن »جل: أنا

Heasws said in the explanation of ‘الرحمن’ The Beneficent: ‘The Word ‘Beneficent’ has been derived from the Mercy. I heard the Rasool Allahsaww saying: Allahazwj Said: “Iazwj am ‘The Beneficent’ and it is derived from the Mercy, a Name from Myazwj Names. Whoever connects to it Iazwj shall be Connected to him, and whoever cuts himself from it then Iazwj shall cut him off from Myazwj Mercy.’

اليت من وصلها وصله الرمحن، و من قطعها قطعه الرمحن فقيل يا أمري المؤمنني: حث -أ و تدري ما هذه الرحم مث قال علي ع: و يصلوا أرحامهم. قدوم على أن يكرموا أقرباءهم بذا كل

Then Aliasws said: ‘Do you know what this Mercy is that whoever connects to it is connected to the Beneficent?’ They said: ‘O Amir-Al-Momineenasws! ‘Every community has been urged by this to honour their relatives and maintain good relations with them.’

، و - أوجب احتقاره من الكافرين قالوا: را فدقال هلم: أ حيثهم على أن يصلوا أرحامهم الكافرين، و أن يدعظموا من حقره الله، و أوجب حقوق أرحامهم، راتصاهلم بآبائهم و أمهاتم قدلت: بدلى يا أخا لكنه حثهم على صلة أرحامهم المؤمنني. قال: فدقال:

ا يدقضون فيهم رسول الله. اآلباء و األمهات. حقوق قال: فدهم إذن إمن

So heasws said to them: ‘Have any of them obligated to maintain good relations with the disbelievers, and respect the ones whom Heazwj Has Belittled, and Enjoined the contempt of the disbelievers?’ They said: ‘No, but we have been urged to have good relations with the Momineen.’ Heasws said: ‘Has Heazwj not has Enjoined this due to their connection with their fathers and mothers?’ They said: Yes, O brotherasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj.’ Heasws said: ‘Understand then, that by doing this they are making up the rights of their mothers and fathers.’

نديا -قدلت: بدلى يا أخا رسول الله ص. قال: فآباؤهم و أمهاتدهم ا غذوهم يف الد ة زائلة، و و وقدوهم مكارهها، و هي نعم -إمن را يبيد، فأي النعمتني أعظم قدلت: مكروه يدنقضي، و رسول ربم ساقدهم إىل نعمة دائمة را تدنقضي، و وقاهم مكروها مؤبدا

.نعمة رسول الله ص أعظم و أجل و أكرب

They said: ‘Yes O brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww.’ Heasws said: ‘Their fathers and mothers provide them with sustenance in this world and prevent them from the abhorrent and this is a declining bounty while the Rasool-Allahsaww gave them

everlasting bounties and saved them from eternal difficulties, so which is a greater bounty?’ The bounty of the Rasool-Allahsaww is greater and larger.’

[ حقه قدلت: را جيوز قضاء حق من كرب ]الله [ حقه، و را حيث على من صغر ]الله -قال: فكيف جيوز أن حيث على قضاء حق أوىل هما، فدرحم رسول الله صقال: فإذا حق رسول الله ص أعظم من حق الوالدين، و حق رمحه أيضا أعظم من حق رمح ذلك.

و أعظم يف القطيعة. بالصلة،

Heasws said: ‘How can it be that Heazwj should Urge the fulfilment of a smaller right and does not Urge the fulfilment of a greater right? That is not possible. The right of the Rasool Allahsaww is greater that the right of the parents and the right of hissaww relatives also is greater than the right of their own relatives. So, the maintenance of relations with the relatives of the Rasool Allahsaww is greater and more highly prohibited to be cut off.

أ و ما علمت أن حرمة رحم رسول الله ص حرمة رسول الويل لمن قطعها، و الويل كل الويل لمن مل يدعظم حرمتها.فالويل كل ا أندعم حيث قديضه الله، و أن حرمة رسول الله حرمة الله تدعاىل، و أن الله أ عظم حقا من كل منعم سواه، و أن كل منعم سواه إمن

ربه، و وفدقه له. لذلك

So woe upon woe be on the one who cuts it off, and woe upon woe be on the one does not respect hissaww relatives. Do you not know that the sanctity of the relatives of the Rasool Allahsaww is the sanctity of the Rasool Allahsaww and that the sanctity of the Rasool Allahsaww is the sanctity of Allahazwj? Surely, Allahazwj’s Right is greater than all, even from all the Bounties of Hisazwj, and every bounty apart from it. But rather, Heazwj Chooses where it is destined to be for Heazwj is it’s Lordazwj, and that Bounty is compatible with him.’

قال ع: قال الله تدعاىل: يا موسى أ ت: بأيب أنت و أمي ما الذي قال له أ ما علمت ما قال الله تدعاىل لموسى بن عمران قدل إياك فدقال موسى: أنت أرحم يب من أيب و أمي. تدري ما بدلغت برمحيت

Do you not know what Allahazwj Said to Musaas Bin Imranas?’ I said, ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for youasws, what was it that Heazwj Said to himas?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj the High Said: ‘O Musaas! Do you know what has reached to youas of Myazwj Mercy?’ Musaas said: ‘Youazwj are more Merciful to meas than my father and mother.’

ا رمحتك أمك لفضل رمحيت، فأنا الذي رقدقتها عليك، و طيبت قدلبها لترتك طيب وسنها لرتبيتك، قال الله تدعاىل: يا موسى و إمن ذلك با لكانت هي و سائر النساء سواء. و لو مل أفدعل

Allahazwj the High Said: ‘O Musaas! But rather, the mercy of your mother to youas was a Grace of Myazwj Mercy, and it was Iazwj Who inclined her towards youas, and Refined her heart to avoid her rest for your upbringing, and if Iazwj had not Done that with her, then she would have been to you like any other woman.’56

Then Amir-Al-Momineenasws said: The Mercy which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Derived with His Mercy in Hisazwj Words "I am The Beneficent" – This is for the relatives of Muhammadsaww, and whoever considers Allahazwj to be Great has considered Muhammadsaww to be so, and whoever magnified Muhammadsaww has magnified relatives of Muhammadsaww, and that all Believing men and Believing women from ourasws Shias are from the relatives of Muhammadsaww and respecting them is to respect Muhammadsaww.

The Imamasws said: ‘And as for the Words of Allahazwj The Merciful - Amir-Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Heazwj is Merciful to Hisazwj Momin servants. And from Hisazwj Mercy Heazwj Created a hundred Mercies and Heazwj Allocated one of it to all of the creatures, and from that people are merciful towards each other, and the mother is merciful to her child, and the mothers of the animals are merciful to their young ones.’

So when it will be the Day of Judgement, Heazwj will Increase this One Mercy to the other ninety nine parts and be Merciful by it upon the community of Muhammadsaww and will Accept the intercession for those that they love to intercede with to the extent that one will come to a Momin from the Shias and will be saying, ‘Intercede for me’.

فديقول: إن يل عليك -ذكر ذلك، فديشفع له، فديشفع فيه، و جييئه آخر فديقول: و أي حق لك علي فديقول: سقيتك يدوما ماء. فدي . فديشفع له، فديشفع حقا، فاشفع يل. فديقول: و ما حقك علي فديقول: فيه، و را يدزال استظللت بظل جداري ساعة يف يدوم حار

So he will say, ‘What right do you have over me?’ He will say: ‘I quenched your thirst with water one day.’ So he will remember that and intercede for him. Another one will come and say, ‘I have a right over you, so intercede for me’. He will say, ‘And what is your right over me?’ He will say: ‘You rested for a while under the shadow of my wall for a while on a hot day.’ He will intercede for him for that. This intercession will not cease until it cover his neighbours and familiar people, for the Momin is more prestigious in the Presence of Allahazwj than what you can imagine.’58

man from the Qadiriyya68 has come to Abdul Malik, and the entirety of those who were in Syria had been to him and he had tired all of them. So he (Abdul Malik) said, ‘There isn’t for this one except for Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws’. So he wrote to the governor of Al-Medina that he brings Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws to him.

أقوى على اخلروج، و هذا جعفر ابين يقوم إين شيخ كبري، را »فأتاه صاحب املدينة بكتابه، فقال له أبو جعفر )عليه السالم(: «.مقامي، فوجهه إليه

So the governor of Al-Median came over to himasws with his letter, but Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘Iasws am very old man, not strong enough upon the going out, and this is Ja’farasws, myasws son, standing in myasws place, therefore divert it to himasws’.

فلما قدم على األموي ازدراه لصغره، و كره أن جيمع بينه و بني القدري، خمافة أن يغلبه، و تسامع الناس بالشام بقدوم جعفر ملخاصمة القدري، فلما كان من الغد اجتمع الناس خلصومتهما.

So when heasws proceeded upon the Umayyad, he disdained himasws due to hisasws young age, and disliked it that he should gather between himasws and the Qadiriyya, fearing that he would overcome himasws. And the people at Syria had heard of the arrival of Ja’farasws to debate the Qadiriyya. So when it was the morning, the people gathered for their debate.

فقال األموي أليب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم(: إنه قد أعيانا أمر هذا القدري، و إمنا كتبت إليك ألمجع بينك و بينه، فإنه مل يدع «.إن اهلل يكفيناه»عندنا أحدا إرا خصمه. فقال:

So the Umayyad said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘The matter of this Qadiriyya has exhausted us, and rather I had written to youasws to gather between youasws and him, for he has not left anyone with us except that he has debated him (and won)’. So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj would Suffice us for him’.

فقرأها، و قال قال:«. اقرأ سورة احلمد»قال: فلما اجتمعوا، قال القدري أليب عبد اهلل )عليه السالم(: سل عما شئت. فقال له: األموي و أنا معه: ما يف سورة احلمد علينا! إنا هلل و إنا إليه راجعون!

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when they had gathered, the Qadiriyya said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Ask about whatever youasws so desire to’. Heasws said to him: ‘Have you recited Surah Al-Hamd (Chapter 1)?’ He said, ‘I have read it’. And the Umayyad said, ‘And I am with him. What is in Surah Al-Hamd against us? We are for Allahazwj and to Himazwj we are returning!’

و الصراط املستقيم هو صراطان: صراط يف الدنيا، و صراط يف اآلخرة فأما الطريق املستقيم يف الدنيا، فهو ما قصر عن الغلو، و و أما الطريق اآلخر، ]فهو[ طريق املؤمنني إىل اجلنة، الذي هو لباطل.ء من ا ارتفع عن التقصري، و استقام فلم يعدل إىل شي

And The Straight Path [1:6] are two Paths – A Path in the world, and a Path in the Hereafter. As for the Straight road in the world, so it is what is reduced (Takseer) from the exaggeration (Ghuloo), and higher than the reduction (Takseer), and mending of the ways. So do not amend anything towards the falsehood. And as for the other Road, so it is the road of the Believers to the Paradise, on which they are upon, not diverting from the Paradise to the Fire, and not towards anything other than the Fire, apart from the Paradise’.71

You will see this with those who had become infidels or immoral.
