وَ إِنَّ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي تَلَقَّاهَا آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ...
وَ إِنَّ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي تَلَقَّاهَا آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي فِي نِعْمَتِي وَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى طَلِبَتِي وَ قَدْ تَعْلَمُ حَاجَتِي فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمْتَنِي وَ غَفَرْتَ زَلَّتِي And the words which Adam -as received from his -as Lord -azwj . He -as said: ‘O Allah -azwj !
You -azwj are in Charge of my -as bounties, and Able upon my -as seeing, and You -azwj Know my -as needs, so I -as ask You -azwj by the right of Muhammad -saww and Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww , except You -azwj Mercy me -as and Forgive my -as slips’. فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا آدَمُ أَنَا وَلِيُّ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى طَلِبَتِكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ حَاجَتَكَ فَكَيْفَ سَأَلْتَنِي بِحَقِّ هَؤُلَاءِ Allah -azwj Revealed to him -as : “O Adam -as !
I -azwj am in Charge of your -as Bounties and am Able upon your -as seeking, and I -azwj have Known your -as needs, so how come you -as are asking Me -azwj by the right of them -asws ?” فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ لَمَّا نَفَخْتَ فِيَّ الرُّوحَ رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي إِلَى عَرْشِكَ فَإِذَا حَوْلَهُ مَكْتُوبٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ أَكْرَمُ خَلْقِكَ عَلَيْكَ He -as said: ‘O Lord -azwj !
When You -azwj Blew the Spirit into me -as , I -as raised my -as head towards Your -azwj Throne, and there was Inscribed around it: ‘There is no god except Allah -azwj , Muhammad -saww is Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj ’. So, I -as knew that he -saww is the most honourable of Your -azwj creatures to You -azwj .
ثُمَّ عَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ الْأَسْمَاءَ فَكَانَ مِمَّنْ مَرَّ بِي مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَشْيَاعُهُمْ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا آدَمُ. Then You -azwj Presented the names unto me -as , and it so happened that from the ones who passed by me -as , from companions of the right hand were Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww and their -asws Shias. So I -as knew they -asws are the closest of Your -azwj creatures to You -azwj ’.
He -azwj Said: ‘You -as speak the truth, O Adam -as ”’. [2] Shirk or Intercession Superficial analysis of the Holy Quran would be deterimental for one’s Eman.
