Among them are: Zamakhshari in Kashshaf; Sebtayn-ul-Jauzi in Tathkirah; Ganji Shafi'i; Qurtabi his famous Commentary book; Mu'jab-ud-Din Tabari in Zakha'ir-ul-'Ughba; Neyshaburi in his well-known commentary book; 'Ibn-i-Sabbaq Maliki in Fusul-ul-Muhimmah, Suyuti in Durr-ul- Manthur; Heythami in Sawa'igh-ul-Muhraghah; and 'A-lusi in Rouh-ul-Ma'ani.

Some of these traditions are as follows: Tha'labi, in his commentary book, narrates from Bara'-ibn-'A-zib: "The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h.) told Ali (a.s.): 'Say: O' Allah! Appoint a covenant for me with yourself, and set my love in the hearts of the believers'. Then this verse was reveled." (Ihghagh-ul-Haghgh, vol. 3, p.p.83-86) This very statement exactly, or with a little difference, has been cited in many other Islamic books.

In a lot of Islamic sources it has been narrated from 'Ibn-'Abbas who said: "The verse 'Verily those who believe and do righteous deeds, soon the Beneficent (Allah) will appoint love for them.' Has been revealed in regard to Ali-ibn-Abitalib (a.s.), which means that Allah appoints his love in the hearts of the believers." (According to 'Ihghagh-ul-Haghgh, vol.

3, pp.83-86) Upon the commentary of this verse, it is cited in the book entitled 'Sawa'igh' that Muhammad-ibn-Hanafiyyah said: "There is no faithful believer but there is love of Ali and his Ahl-ul-Bayt in his heart." (Ihghagh-ul-Haghgh, vol. 3, pp.

83-86) Maybe, for the same reason it has been cited in a correct and authentic tradition narrated from Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) who said: "Even if I strike the nose of a believer with this, my sword, for hating me, he will not hate me, and even if I pile all the wealth of the world before a hypocrite in order that he loves me, he will not love me. This is because it is a verdict pronounced by the tongue of the unschooled Prophet (p.b.u.h.) as he said: 'O' Ali!

a believer will never hate you and a hypocrite will never love you'." (Rauh-ul-Ma'ani, vol. 16, p. 130; Majma'-ul-Bayan, vol. 6, p. 533; and Nahaj-ul-Balaqah, saying No. 45) Imam Sadiq (a.s.) in a tradition said: "The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) in his last prayer invocated in regard to Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali (a.s.) so loudly that people could hear, saying: 'O Allah! Bestow the love of Ali upon the hearts of the believers, and appoint his awe and greatness in the hearts of the hypocrites'.

Then this verse and the verse next to it were revealed." (Nur-uth-Thaqalayn, vol. 3, p.
