Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Hayat Al-Qulub Vol.3 Part 30: The last verses of Surah Furqan points to the Imams The interpretation of the last verses of Surah Furqan points towards the Imams Almighty Allah says in Surah Furqan: وَعِبَادُ الرَّحْمَانِ الَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمْ الْجَاهِلُونَ قَالُوا سَلَامًا. And the servants of the Beneficent God are they who walk on the earth in humbleness, and when the ignorant address them, they say: Peace.

(Surah Furqan 25:63) Ali Ibne Ibrahim, Kulaini, Ibne Mahyar and others have narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) that these verse were revealed in praise of the Imams (a.s.). It means that in return of their ignorance they say something that keeps them safe from sins or say something good to them or salutes them. According to traditions this was also revealed in praise of the legatees who do goodness with the enemy. وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا.

And they who pass the night prostrating themselves before their Lord and standing. (Surah Furqan 25:64) Traditions say that this verse was revealed in praise of the Holy Imams (a.s.) and Barqi in Mahasin from Sulaiman Ibne Khalid has narrated that while reading Quran, when he reached this verse of Surah Furqan: وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا.

يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا. And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has forbidden except in the requirements of justice, and (who) do not commit fornication and he who does this shall find a requital of sin. The punishment shall be doubled to him on the day of resurrection, and he shall abide therein in abasement; (Surah Furqan 25:68-69) Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said these verses were revealed for us.

And by Allah, He has advised us although He knew we would never commit fornication. Sulaiman says then I read this verse: إِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَأُوْلَئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ حَسَنَاتٍ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَحِيمًا. Except him who repents and believes and does a good deed; so these are they of whom Allah changes the evil deeds to good ones… (Surah Furqan 25:70) The Imam said: Wait! This verse was revealed for you Shias.
