[5] \n Abu Ja\u2019far -asws (5 th Imam) said...

[5] \n Abu Ja\u2019far -asws (5 th Imam) said: \u2018When the earth illuminated by the light of Muhammad -saww just as the sun illuminates. Allah -azwj Struck an example of Muhammad -saww as being the sun, and example of the successor -asws as being the moon. And these are the Words of Mighty and Majestic He is the (One) Who Made the sun a brightness and the moon a light [10:5] . And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, so they are in the darkness [36:37] (an extract).

[6] \n \u2018Abu Ja\u2019far -asws (5 th Imam) said, regarding the Words of the Exalted: And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them [36:9], he -asws said: \u2018As for their blindness, they could not see the Guidance. Allah -azwj Took out their hearing and their eyesight and their hearts and blinded them from the Guidance.

This was Revealed regarding Abu Jahl Bin Hissham and a number from his household, and that the Prophet -saww was standing during Salat. \n Abu Jahl had taken a vow that if he were to see him -saww in Salat he would go and stone him -saww . He came and had a stone with him and the Prophet -saww was standing in Salat. He lifted the stone so that he could stone him -saww , but Allah -azwj Froze his hand to his neck, and he could not throw the stone with his hand.

When he returned to his companions, the stone fell down from his hand. \n Then another man stood up, and he was from among his clan as well and said, \u2018I will kill him -saww .\u2019 When he went from them, but when he heard the recitation of Rasool-Allah -saww he was petrified. He returned to his companions and said, \u2018The situation between me and him -saww was that I was afraid of being caught out and so I was scared to advance towards him -saww \u2019\u2019.
