Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to it: “Be ink!
Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to it: “Be ink!” So, it became ink. Then He -azwj Took a tree and Planted it with His -azwj Hands, and the ‘Hand’ is the strength, and it isn’t where the resemblance would go to it. Then He -azwj Said to it: ‘Be a Pen!” Then Said to it: “Write!” It said: ‘O Lord -azwj ! And what shall I write?’ He -azwj Said: ‘Whatever is to happen up to the Day of Qiyamah!” It did that.
Then He -azwj Sealed upon it and Said: ‘You shall not speak up to the day of the known time!”’ [3] Tafseer Al-Qummi – So you shall be seeing, and they (too) shall be seeing [68:5] Which one of you is bewitched [68:6] – By which one of you, you are being bewitched, that is how it was Revealed regarding clan of Umayya, by which one of you, by Abu Hafr, and Zufer, and Ghufal. And Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘Umar met Amir Al-Momineen -asws and said, ‘O Ali -asws !
It has reached me that you -asws are interpreting this Verse regarding me and my companion (Abu Bakr), Which one of you is bewitched [68:6] ’. Amir Al-Momineen -asws said, ‘Shall I -asws inform you, O Abu Hafs, what is Revealed regarding clan of Umayya? and the Accursed tree in the Quran; [17:60] ?’ Umar said, ‘You -asws are lying, O Ali -asws ! Clan of Umayya are better than you -asws are in maintaining relationship’’.
His -azwj Words: So do not heed the beliers [68:8] , he -asws said: ‘Regarding Ali -asws , They wish that you should be pliant so they (too) would be pliant [68:9] – i.e., they would love it if you -saww were to be pliant (impressionable) regarding Ali -asws , so they would be pliant with you -saww .

A defamer, malicious slanderer [68:11] , he -asws said: ‘He used to slander Rasool-Allah -saww and backbite between his companions’. His -azwj Words: Preventer of the good [68:12] , he -asws said: ‘The ‘good’ is Amir Al-Momineen -asws ’. An excessive sinner [68:12] , he -asws said: ‘Yes, exceedingly upon it’. His -azwj Words: Callous, after (all) that, ignoble [68:13] , he -asws said: ‘The ‘callous’, mighty of Kufr and the ‘ignoble’, a bastard’.
His -azwj Words: When Our Verses are recited to him, he says, ‘Stories of the former ones’ [68:15] , he -asws said: ‘A metaphor of the second one (Umar). Our -asws Signs (are shown), he says, ‘Stories of the former ones’ [68:15] , i.e., they are lies of the former ones.
