تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ...
تَعَلَّمُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ، وَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهُمَا بَرَكَةٌ، وَ تَرْكَهُمَا حَسْرَةٌ، وَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُهُمَا الْبَطَلَةُ- يَعْنِي السَّحَرَةَ ‘Learn Surah Al-Baqarah (Ch 2) ( Surah ) and Aal-e-Imran (Ch 3) for taking to these two is a Blessing, and neglecting them is regret, and the falsehood has no ability upon them – meaning the magic.
وَ إِنَّهُمَا لَيَجِيئَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ عُقَابَتَانِ أَوْ فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ، يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا، وَ يُحَاجُّهُمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ يَقُولَانِ: يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ هَذَا قَرَأَنَا، وَ أَظْمَأْنَا نَهَارَهُ، وَ أَسْهَرْنَا لَيْلَهُ، وَ أَنْصَبْنَا بَدَنَهُ Both of them would come on the Day of Judgement like two clouds or two cloaks or two separate birds in a row and plead on behalf of their readers to the Lord -azwj of the worlds, the Almighty Lord -azwj , and will both say: ‘O Lord -azwj of the lords!
This servant of Yours -azwj has recited us, and was thirsty with us during this day and held vigil with us during his night, and established us in his body.’ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: يَا أَيُّهَا الْقُرْآنُ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ تَسْلِيمُهُ لِمَا أَنْزَلْتُهُ فِيكَ- مِنْ تَفْضِيلِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخِي مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يَقُولَانِ: يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ، وَالاهُ، وَ وَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَهُ، وَ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَهُ، إِذَا قَدَرَ جَهَرَ، وَ إِذَا عَجَزَ اتَّقَى وَ أَسَرَّ Allah -azwj will Say: “O You Quran!
So how was their submission to what I -azwj had Revealed in you from the merits of Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws , the brother of Muhammad Rasool-Allah -saww ?” They will both reply: ‘O Lord -azwj of the lords! They befriended him -asws and his -asws friends, and became inimical to his -asws enemies. When they were able they made it known and when they could not, they observed Taqiyya (dissimulation) and kept it a secret’.
يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: فَقَدْ عَمِلَ إِذاً بِكُمَا كَمَا أَمَرْتُهُ، وَ عَظَّمَ مِنْ حَقِّكُمَا مَا عَظَّمْتُهُ. يَا عَلِيُّ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ شَهَادَةَ الْقُرْآنِ لِوَلِيِّكَ هَذَا [فَ] يَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ: بَلَى يَا رَبِّ Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: ‘Then they have dealt with you two just as I -azwj had Commanded it, and have considered great that which made you two great. O Ali -asws !
