[1] Imam Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza -asws (8 th Imam) regarding Words of the Exalted: What are they asking about? [78:1] About the Magnificent News, [78:2] Which they are differing in? [78:3] .

He -asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘There is no news of Allah -azwj more Magnificent than me -asws , and there is no Sign of Allah -azwj greater than me -asws , and my -asws merit had been presented unto the communities of the past in their different languages but they did not acknowledge with my ‑asws merits’’. [2] Rasool Allah -saww says: Then He -azwj Said: ‘ Never!

Thus, there is no deceased in the east, nor in the west, nor sea, nor land, except and Munkar and Nakeer (two questioning Angels) would question him about the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen -asws after the death. They would be saying to the deceased: ‘Who is your Lord -azwj , and what is your religion, and who is your Prophet -saww , and who is your Imam -asws ?’’ [3] ‘Ali -asws said: ‘By Allah -azwj ! I -asws am the Magnificent News Which they are differing in? [78:3] ’ Never!

They shall soon come to know [78:4] Then (again), never! They shall soon come to know [78:5] – when I -asws stand between the Paradise and the fire and I -asws shall say: ‘This one is for me -asws and this one is for you’’. [4] Tafseer Al-Qummi – and the Kafir would be saying, ‘O! I wish I was dust!’ [78:40] , i.e. Alawiite, and that is because Rasool-Allah -saww had teknonymed Amir Al-Momineen -asws as ‘Abu Turab’ (father of the dust/soil)’’.
