Ibn Shehr Ashoub...
Ibn Shehr Ashoub, (It has been narrated) from Al-Baqir -asws , regarding the Words of the High [2:257] and (as for) those who are committing Kufr – in the Wilayah of Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , their guardian is the tyrant who extracts them from the Light into the (multitude of) darkness [2:257] – it was Revealed regarding his -asws enemies and the ones who followed them.
They extracted the people from the Light – and the Light is the Wilayah of Ali -asws – so took them into the darkness – Wilayah of his -asws enemies’. [2] The Wilayah (Submission) of Allah -azwj and His Prophet -saww and the Divine Imam -asws : In the Holy Quran, Allah -azwj Says: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ ۖ …{4:59} O you who believe!
Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you…… [4:59] Also, Allah -azwj Says: إِنَّمَا وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ {5:55} But rather, Allah is your Guardian, and His Rasool and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5:55] Abu Ja’far -asws has said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen -asws gave a sermon to the people at Siffeen, so he ‑asws Praised Allah -azwj and Extolled Him -azwj , and sent greetings upon the Prophet -saww , then said: فَأَجَابَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ وَ أَنَا أَسْتَشْهِدُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي لِعِلْمِكُمْ فِيمَا وُلِّيتُ بِهِ مِنْ أُمُورِكُمْ وَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ يَجْمَعُنِي وَ إِيَّاكُمُ الْمَوْقِفُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ السُّؤَالُ عَمَّا كُنَّا فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَشْهَدُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَلَا تَشْهَدُوا الْيَوْمَ بِخِلَافِ مَا أَنْتُمْ شَاهِدُونَ غَداً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا مُنَاصَحَةُ الصُّدُورِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأُمُورِ Amir-ul-Momineen -asws answered him, so he -asws said: ‘And I -asws am binding you in the Presence of Allah -azwj to myself -asws for your knowing that I -asws am the guardian for your matters, for very shortly you will be gathered with me -asws .
