فَإِذا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلاةُ يَعْنِي بَيْعَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ‏ يَعْنِي بِالْأَرْضِ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ بِطَاعَةِ الرَّسُولِ وَ طَاعَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‘ But when you have accomplished the Salat – meaning the allegiance has been pledged to Amir Al-Momineen -asws , then disperse in the earth – meaning by the ‘earth’, the successors -asws .

Allah -azwj Commanded with obeying them -asws , and their -asws Wilayah, just as He -azwj had Commanded with the obedience to the Rasool -saww , and obedience to Amir Al-Momineen -asws . كَنَّى اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَسْمَائِهِمْ فَسَمَّاهُمْ بِالْأَرْضِ وَ ابْتَغُوا فَضْلَ اللَّهِ Allah -azwj (Utilised) teknonyms about their -asws names regarding that, so He -azwj Named them -asws as the ‘earth’, and seek from the Grace of Allah [62:10] .

قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَ ابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ‏ قَالَ تَحْرِيفٌ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ وَ ابْتَغُوا فَضْلَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيراً لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ Jabir said, ‘ and seek from the Grace of Allah [62:10] ?’ He -asws said: ‘An alteration! This is how it was Revealed: and seek the Grace of Allah to be upon successors and remember Allah much, that you may be successful [62:10] ’.

ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْقِفِ مُحَمَّداً ص فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذا رَأَوْا الشُّكَّاكُ وَ الْجَاحِدُونَ‏ تِجارَةً يَعْنِي الْأَوَّلَ‏ أَوْ لَهْواً يَعْنِي الثَّانِيَ انْصَرَفُوا إِلَيْهَا قَالَ Then Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, in that position, Addresses Muhammad -saww , so He -azwj Said: And when they see [62:11] i.e., the doubters and the ungrateful ones, trade – meaning the first one (Abu Bakr) or sport – meaning the second one (Umar), they disperse to go to them ’.

قُلْتُ‏ انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْها قَالَ تَحْرِيفٌ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ ‘I said, ‘(It is): they break (the Salat) to (go) to it [62:11] ’. He -asws said: ‘An alteration. This is how it was Revealed! وَ تَرَكُوكَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ قَائِماً قُلْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ما عِنْدَ اللَّهِ‏ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ وَ مِنَ التِّجارَةِ يَعْنِي بَيْعَةَ الْأَوَّلِ وَ الثَّانِي لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا And they leave you standing – with Ali -asws . Say: – O Muhammad -saww !
