He said about the Qur’an...
He said about the Qur’an: It is a light for one who seeks illumination by it, a witness for one who disputes with it, a success for one who argues by it, knowledge for one who is attentive and a judgment for one who judges. 23ـ قال في ذِكْرِ القُرْآنِ: نُورٌ لِمَنِ اسْتَضاءَ بِهِ، وشاهِدٌ لِمَنْ خاصَمَ بِهِ، وفَلَجٌ لِمَنْ حاجَّ بِهِ، وعِلْمٌ لِمَنْ وَعى وحُكْمٌ لِمَنْ قَضى.
In describing the Qur’an [he said]: It is what prevents the desires from deviating towards the forbidden and the uncertainties and opinions from causing doubt. 24ـ في وَصْفِ القُرْآنِ: هُوَ الَّذي لاتَزيغُ بِهِ الأهْواءُ، وَلاتَلْتَبِسُ بِهِ الشُّبَهُ وَالآراءُ. In describing the Qur’an [he said]: It is the decisive word and not a jest. It is the articulator of the practice of justice and the enjoiner of virtue. It is the strong rope of Allah and the wise reminder.
It is the trusted revelation of Allah and His strong rope. It is the spring of the hearts and the fountains of knowledge. It is the straight path. It is guidance for the one who follows it and an adornment for the one who beautifies himself with it. It is a protector [from sin] for the one who seeks protection by it and a firm rope for the one who holds on to it.
25ـ في وَصْفِ القُرْآنِ: هُوَ الفَصْلُ لَيْسَ بِالهَزْلِ، هُوَ النّاطِقُ بِسُنَّةِ العَدْلِ، والآمِرُ بِالفَضْلِ، هُوَ حَبْلُ اللّهِ المَتينُ، والذِّكْرُ الحَكيمُ، هُوَ وَحْيُ اللّهِ الأمِينُ، وحَبْلُهُ المَتينُ،وَ هُوَ رَبيعُ القُلُوبِ، ويَنابيعُ العِلْمِ، وهُوَ الصِّراطُ المُسْتَقيمُ، هُوَ هُدىً لِمَنِ ائْتَمَّ بِهِ، وَزينَةٌ لِمَنْ تَحَلّى بِهِ، وعِصْمَةٌ لِمَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ، وحَبْلٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِ.
Do not seek a cure from other than the Qur’an, for indeed it is a cure for all ailments. 26ـ لاتَستَشْفِيَنَّ بِغَيْرِ القُرْآنِ، فَإنَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ داء شاف. He said describing the Qur’an: Its marvels do not end and its wonders do not cease, and doubts do not get cleared save by it. 27 ـ وقالَ في وَصْفِ القُرْآنِ: لاتَفْنى عَجائِبُهُ، ولاتَنْقَضي غَرائِبُهُ، ولاتَنْجَلى الشُّبَهاتُ إلاّ بِهِ. The people of the Qur’an are the people of Allah and His special servants.
28ـ أهْلُ القُرْآنِ أهْلُ اللّهِ وخاصَّتُهُ. Previous…
