The Arabic word /turfa'/in the verse means the height of a place, too, such as the verse which says: 'And (remember) when Abraham and Ishmael raised up the foundations of the House..."[^1] Imam Baqir (a.s.) said: "Those houses are the houses of prophets, sages and the infallible Imams."[^2] Tha'lAbi says in his commentary that one day the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) was reciting this verse when then Abibakr said: "Is the house of Ali (a.s.) and Fatimah (a.s.) the extension of this verse?" The Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: "Yes, it is the best extension of this verse."[^3] [^1] Sura Al- Baqarah, No.

2, verse 127 [^2] Nur-uth-Thaqalyn, the Commentary [^3] Ruh ul-Ma'ani, the Commentary Imam Kazim (a.s.) said: "The purpose of the phrase '... in the mornings and the evenings", mentioned in the verse, is the punctual ritual prayers."[^1] In the Holy Qur'an, there are many cases in which 'glorification' is used instead of 'ritual prayer'. Sura 'Al-i-'Imran, No. 3, verse 41: "... and glorify (Him) in the evening and early morning." Sura Ta-Ha, No. 20, verse 130: "...

and glorify your Lord by praising Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting, ..." [^1] Bihar, Vol. 23, p.

Therefore in this noble verse it is implied that those men who are not prevented from remembering of Allah, performing ritual prayer and paying alms-tax by neither business nor selling and buying, fear the day in which hearts and eyes will be capsized.

The verse says: "Men whom neither merchandise nor any sale diverts from the remembrance of Allah and the keeping up of prayer and paying the poor-rate; they fear a day in which the hearts and eyes will be overturned;" These characteristics show that the aforementioned houses are the very centers that are fortified by Allah's commandment and Allah is remembered in them.
