Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Sacred Effusion Volume 1 Chapter 3: Peace be on you, O son of the Commander of the Faithful and the son of the leader of the successors السّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ياَ بْنَ اَمِيْرِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَابْنَ سَيِّدِ الْوصِيِّيْنَ Peace be on You, O son of the the Commander of the Faithful and the son of the Leader of the Commentary يَابْنَ اَمِيْرِالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ O son of the Commander of the Faithful The apparent import of this verse signifies that Imam al-Husayn (AS) is the son and offspring of Amir al-Mu’minin (AS).
This is a historical fact and we would not like to go into details about the same. However to reveal how brilliant is the origin of Imam al-Husayn (AS) verses 19-20 of Surat al-Rahman come to mind: مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيانِ.بَيْنَهُما بَرْزَخٌ لا يَبْغِيانِ He merged the two seas, meeting each other. There is a barrier between them which they do not overstep.
(55:19-20) Yahya bin Sa’id narrates: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ يَقُوْلُ فِيْ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيانِ بَيْنَهُما بَرْزَخٌ لا يَبْغِيانِ قَالَ: عَلِيٌّ وَفَاطِمَةُ، بَحْرَانُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ عَمِيْقَانِ لاَ يَبْغِي أَحَدُهُمَا عَلىَ صَاحِبِهِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْمَرْجانُ، اَلْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْن. I heard Aba ‘Abdillah [al-Sadiq] (AS) saying the following about the verse of Allah “He merged the two seas, meeting each other.
There is a barrier between them which they do not overstep.”: ‘Ali and Fatima are two deep seas of knowledge , none of who oversteps the other. From them emerge the pearl and the coral, who are al-Hasan and al-Husayn (AS).[^1] The appellation Amir al-Mu’minin was conferred to Imam ‘Ali (AS) by Allah Himself in the higher levels of existence prior to this material world.
