[33] محمد بن العباس، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن العلاء، عن محمد بن الحسن بن شمون، عن عثمان ابن أبي شيبة، عن الحسين بن عبد الله الأرجاني، عن سعد بن طريف، عن الأصبغ بن نباتة، عن علي (عليه السلام)، قال: سأله ابن الكواء، عن قوله عز و جل: فَلا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ الْجَوارِ الْكُنَّسِ، قال: «إن الله لا يقسم بشيء من خلقه، فأما قوله: بِالْخُنَّسِ فإنه ذكر قوما خنسوا علم الأوصياء و دعوا الناس إلى غير مودتهم، و معنى خنسوا: ستروا Muhammad Bin Al-Abbas, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shamoun, from Usman Ibn Abu Shayba, from Al-Husayn Bin Abdullah Al-Arjany, from Sa’d Bin Tareyf, from Asbag Bin Nabata, who has said: ‘Ibn Al-Kawa asked Ali -asws about the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: But no!
I swear by the concealed one [81:15] The one who runs his course, the hidden one [81:16] , he -asws said: ‘Allah -azwj did not Swear by anything from His -azwj creatures, so, as for His -azwj Words (Al-Khunnas), so it is a Mention of a people who hid the Knowledge of the successors -asws and called the people to the cordiality (Mawaddat) of others. And the meaning of ‘Khannasu’ is to conceal’.
فقال له: الْجَوارِ الْكُنَّسِ؟ قال: «يعني الملائكة، جرت بالعلم إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) فكنسه عن الأوصياء من أهل بيته لا يعلم به أحد غيرهم، و معنى كنسه: رفعه و توارى به So he (Ibn Al-Kawa) said to him -asws , ‘(What about) ‘Al-Kunnas’?’ He -asws said: ‘It means the Angels, flowing with the Knowledge to the Rasool-Allah -saww , so they raise (the matter) with the successors -asws from the People -asws of his -saww Household, no one knows about it apart from them -asws .
And the meaning of ‘Kanasahu’ is to raise it and go into hiding with it’. قال: فقوله وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذا عَسْعَسَ [قال: «يعني ظلمة الليل،] و هذا ضربه الله مثلا لمن ادعى الولاية لنفسه و عدل عن ولاة الأمر He (Ibn Al-Kawa) said, ‘(What about) His -azwj Words: And the night when it darkens [81:17] ’.
He -asws said: ‘It Means the darkness of the night, and this is the example Struck by Allah -azwj for the one who leaves Al-Wilayah for himself, and decided against the Master -asws of the Command (Wali Al-Amr)’.
فقال: وَ الصُّبْحِ إِذا تَنَفَّسَ؟ قال: «يعني بذلك الأوصياء، يقول: إن علمهم أنور و أبين من الصبح إذا تنفس So he (Ibn Al-Kawa) said, ‘(What about): And the morning when it brightens [81:18] ?’ He -asws said: ‘It Means by that, the successors -asws , their -asws Knowledge is more illuminating and is clearer than the morning when it brightens [81:18] ’.
