[25] الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَوْهَرِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ لِابْنِهِ الْقَاسِمِ قُمْ يَا بُنَيَّ فَاقْرَأْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ أَخِيكَ وَ الصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا حَتَّى تَسْتَتِمَّهَا فَقَرَأَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَ هُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقاً أَمْ مَنْ خَلَقْنا قَضَى الْفَتَى (The book) – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Musa Bin Al-Hassan, from Suleyman Al Jowhary who said, ‘I saw Abu Al-Hassan -asws saying to his -asws son Al-Qasim: ‘Arise O my -asws son, and recite by the head of your (dying) brother: I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks [37:1] (Surah Al Safaat) until you complete it’.
He recited, and when he reached: Then ask them whether they were more difficult (for Us) to Create or those (others) whom We have Created [37:11] , the youth died.
فَلَمَّا سُجِّيَ وَ خَرَجُوا أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ كُنَّا نَعْهَدُ الْمَيِّتَ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِهِ الْمَوْتُ يُقْرَأُ عِنْدَهُ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ فَصِرْتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِالصَّافَّاتِ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ لَمْ تُقْرَأْ عِنْدَ مَكْرُوبٍ مِنْ مَوْتٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا عَجَّلَ اللَّهُ رَاحَتَهُ When he was shrouded and they went out, Yaqoub Bin Ja’far turned towards him -asws and said to him -asws , ‘We used to entrust the deceased, when we are with him, reciting in his presence Ya Seen [36:1] I swear by the Wise Quran [36:2] (i.e.
Chapter 36) and you -asws have come ordering us with Al-Saffaat (Chapter 37)?’ So he -asws said: ‘O my -asws son! It would not be recited for one who is suffering from death at all, except that Allah -azwj would Hasten his departure’’.
[26] VERSE 5 رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ الْمَشَارِقِ {5} Lord of the skies and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the Easts [37:5] الطبرسي في (الاحتجاج): عن الأصبغ بن نباتة، قال: خطبنا أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام) على منبر الكوفة، فحمد الله و أثنى عليه، ثم قال: «أيها الناس، سلوني فإن بين جوانحي علما» فقام إليه ابن الكواء، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، وجدت كتاب الله ينقض بعضه بعضا Al-Tabarsy, in Al-Ihtijaj, from Al- Asbagh Bin Nabata who said: ‘Amir-Al-Momineen -asws preached to us upon the Pulpit of Al-Kufa.
So he -asws Praised Allah -azwj and Extolled Him -azwj , then said: ‘O you people! Ask me -asws , for between my -asws ribs is the (Divine) Knowledge’. So, Ibn Al-Kawa stood up and said, ‘O Amir-al-Momineen -asws , I have found in the Book of Allah -azwj (Verses) which invalidate each other’.
