(21:87) \n Here what is meant by \u2018imagine\u2019 is \u2018to be sure.

(21:87) \n Here what is meant by \u2018imagine\u2019 is \u2018to be sure.\u2019 That means \u2018We will not restrict his sustenance.\u2019 Have you not heard the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj \u2019s Words, \u2018But when He tried him, restricting his subsistence for him … (89:16). This means Allah -azwj will Restrict his sustenance. Had Yunus thought that Allah had no power over him, he would certainly have turned into an atheist.

\n And regarding what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said about Joseph -as , \u2018And (with passion) did she desire him, and he would have desired her … \u2018 This means that he -as got upset and decided that if she tries to force him to commit sin, he would try to kill her. Then Allah -azwj Changed his (Joseph\u2019s) mind and turned him away from killing her and all shameful deeds.

This is what is meant by the Honourable the Exalted Allah\u2019s words , \u2022 … thus (did We order) that We might turn away from him (all) evil and shameful deeds … (12:24) meaning killing and adultery. \n The Imam -asws said, \u2018And regarding David -as , what do the people on your side say about him? Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Jahm said, \u2018They say that David -as was in his praying niche when Satan appeared in front of him in the form of a very beautiful bird.

David -as stopped praying and stood up to go catch the bird. The bird left the room and went into the courtyard. Then it flew up to the top of the house. David climbed up to the roof looking for it. Then the bird flew into the house of Uryah ibn Hannan. David followed the bird with his eyes, and suddenly saw Uryah\u2019s wife who was making major ritual ablutions. Once he looked at her, he fell in love with her. As for Uryah, he had been sent to a battle.

David -as wrote to his commander, \u2018Place Uryah in front of the coffin.\u2019 Thus he was placed in front of it. Uryah defeated the pagans. That was hard on David, so he wrote to his commander again and ordered him to place Uryah ahead of the coffin. Then Uryah was placed ahead of it and was killed. Then David -as married his wife.\u2019 \n The narrator added, \u2018AI-Reza -asws hit himself on the forehead and said, \u2018From Allah -azwj we are, and unto Him -azwj is our return!

You have ascribed neglecting prayers and going out and looking for the bird\u2019s tracks, fornication and killing to one of the Prophets of Allah -azwj .\u2019\u2019\u2019 Ali ibn AI-Jahm said, \u2018O son of the Prophet of Allah -asws !
