\n (Imam Al-Naqi replied): As for His -azwj Words: And even if every tree in the earth was a pen and the oceans to ink it, from after it seven (more) oceans, the Words of Allah would not be depleted. [31:27] , so it is like that.

Even if the trees of the word were pens, and the oceans to ink them were seven oceans, and the earth would bring forth springs, they would deplete before the depletion of \u2018\u0643\u0644\u0645\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u2019 the Words of Allah -azwj , and these are the springs of the sulphur, and spring of Tigris, and spring of Barhout, and spring of Tiberius, and hot spring of Sabdan, and a hot spring of Africa called Lasaan, and a spring of Baharwan.

\n And we -asws are \u2018\u0643\u0644\u0645\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647\u2019 the Words of Allah -azwj who will not deplete nor can our -asws merits be realised (an extract). [11] \n Rasool Allah -saww replied to a Jew regarding the words of Allah -azwj : \n So, Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed: And even if every tree in the earth [31:27] \u2013 the Verse.

He -azwj is Saying that the Knowledge of Allah -azwj is greater than that, and what you have been Given is a lot with you, little with Allah -azwj \u2019\u2019.

[12] \n Imam Musa Al-Kazim -asws (7 th Imam) replied to Haroun: (This is) because they are straying the offspring of Adam -as by their trappings and their lies, and (although superficially) they are testifying that there is no god except Allah -azwj just as Allah -azwj Described them in the Words of the Exalted: And if you were to ask them: \u2018Who Created the skies and the earth?\u2019 They would be saying, \u2018Allah\u2019. Say: \u2018The Praise is for Allah\u2019.

But, most of them do not recognise [31:25] \u2013 i.e. they are not saying that except as indoctrination, and a disciplining, and a naming (an extract). [13] \n Amir Al-Momineen -asws said (in a lengthy Hadeeth)? But do not obey them (priests), and accompany them in the world goodly because Allah -azwj is Saying: \u201cBe thankful to Me and to your parents!

To Me is the destination\u201d [31:14] And if they both strive against you upon that you should associate with Me, what there isn\u2019t any knowledge for you of it, then do not obey them, [31:15] . Amir Al Momineen -asws said: \u2018They neither prayed to them (priests) nor Fasted, but they (priests) ordered them with disobeying Allah -azwj , so they obeyed them\u2019.
