This servant of Yours -azwj has recited us, and was thirsty with us during this day and held vigil with us during his night, and established us in his body.’ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يَا أَيُّهَا الْقُرْآنُ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ تَسْلِيمُهُ لِمَا أَنْزَلْتُهُ فِيكَ- مِنْ تَفْضِيلِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخِي مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَقُولَانِ: يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ، وَالاهُ، وَ وَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَهُ، وَ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَهُ، إِذَا قَدَرَ جَهَرَ، وَ إِذَا عَجَزَ اتَّقَى وَ أَسَرَّ Allah -azwj will Say: “O You Quran!
So how was their submission to what I -azwj had Revealed in you from the merits of Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws , the brother of Muhammad Rasool-Allah -saww ?” They will both reply: ‘O Lord -azwj of the lords! They befriended him -asws and his -asws friends, and became inimical to his -asws enemies.
When they were able they made it known and when they could not, they observed dissimulation and kept it a secret.’ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَقَدْ عَمِلَ إِذاً بِكُمَا كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُ، وَ عَظَّمَ مِنْ حَقِّكُمَا مَا عَظَّمْتُهُ. يَا عَلِيُّ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ شَهَادَةَ الْقُرْآنِ لِوَلِيِّكَ هَذَا [فَ] يَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ: بَلَى يَا رَبِّ. فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَاقْتَرِحْ لَهُ مَا تُرِيدُ.
فَيَقْتَرِحُ لَهُ مَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى أَمَانِيِّ هَذَا الْقَارِئِ مِنَ الْأَضْعَافِ الْمُضَاعَفَاتِ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ. فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: «قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُهُ مَا اقْتَرَحْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘Then they have dealt with you two just as I -azwj had Commanded it, and have considered great that which made you two great. O Ali -asws !
Did you hear this testimony of the Quran for your friends?’ Ali -asws will respond: ‘Yes O Lord!’ Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘Then suggest whatever you -asws want for him.’ He -asws will then suggest for him such things that would exceed all the reader’s aspirations and desires, and their number will be unknown to all except Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic. Allah -azwj will Say: I -azwj have Given him what you -asws suggested ‘O Ali -asws !”.
