As for your -saww staying in our minds...

As for your -saww staying in our minds, it is good for us (we understand that), how can your -asws separation (expiry) from us be good for us?’ He -asws said: ‘As for my -saww staying in your midst being good for you, it is because Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, nor would Allah Punish them while they are seeking Forgiveness [8:33] – meaning Punish them by the sword.

As for my -saww separation from you, it is good for you because your deeds would be present to me -saww every Monday and Thursday. So, whatever was from good, I -saww , would praise Allah -azwj the Exalted upon it, and whatever was from an evil deed, I -saww shall seek Forgiveness for you’’. [19] Imams Abu Ja’far -asws and Abu Abdullah -asws (5 th and 6 th Imams) said, regarding His -azwj Words: best of the planners [8:30] .

He -asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww had faced severe afflictions from his -saww people to the extent that one day they came to him -saww while he -saww was in Sajdah and chucked a womb of a sheep upon him -asws . His -saww daughter -asws came, and he -saww was in Sajdah not having raised his -saww head, and she -asws lifted it from him -saww and wiped him -saww . Then after that, Allah -azwj Showed him -saww that which he -saww loved.

He -saww was at Badr and there wasn’t with him -saww other than one horseman. Then, on the day of the conquest (of Makkah), there were twelve thousand until Abu Sufyan and the Polytheists went on to cry out for help’’. [20] Imam Abu Abdullah -asws (6 th Imam) said, regarding His -azwj Words: while the riders were in a place lower than you [8:42] . He -asws said: ‘Abu Sufyan and his companions’’.

[21] ‘I heard Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari saying, ‘Iblees -la , may Allah -azwj him -la , resembled in four images. On the day of Badr he -la resembled in the image of Suraqa Bin Ju’sham Al-Mudlajy and said to Quraysh, ‘ ‘There would be none from the people to overcome you today, and I am a friend for you’. So when the two parties saw (each other), he turned upon his heels and said, ‘I am disavowed from you. [8:48] ’’.

[22] Tafseer Al-Qummi – The Words of the Exalted: And if they intend to deceive you – then surely Allah is Sufficient for you [8:62] . He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding (the tribes of) Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj. It is reported from the Imam -asws Abu Ja’far -asws regarding the Words of the Exalted: And if they intend to deceive [8:62] – the Verse.
