So the High Said...

So the High Said: “ [59:7] it is for Allah and for the Messenger, and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, so that it may not be a thing taken by turns among the rich of you, and whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back and be careful of Allah (of being unjust to the Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww ) ; surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil)” to the one who is unjust to them -asws .

(This is) a Mercy from Him -azwj to us -asws and a self-sufficiency by which Allah -azwj has Made us -asws to be self-sufficient with. وَ وَصَّى بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَنَا فِي سَهْمِ الصَّدَقَةِ نَصِيباً أَكْرَمَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَكْرَمَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَنَا مِنْ أَوْسَاخِ النَّاسِ And He -azwj Bequeathed for it to His -azwj Prophet -saww and did not Make for us -asws a share in the charity.

Allah -azwj Honoured His -azwj Messenger -saww and Honoured us -asws the People -asws of the Household, that He -azwj should Feed us -asws from the dirt of the people (charity).

فَكَذَّبُوا اللَّهَ وَ كَذَّبُوا رَسُولَهُ وَ جَحَدُوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ النَّاطِقَ بِحَقِّنَا وَ مَنَعُونَا فَرْضاً فَرَضَهُ اللَّهُ لَنَا مَا لَقِيَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَا لَقِينَا بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ .

They belied Allah -azwj , and belied His -azwj Messenger -saww and fought against the Book of Allah -azwj which Speaks of our -asws rights, and prevented from us -asws the obligation which Allah -azwj has Obligated for us -asws . What has been meted out to us -asws after our -asws Prophet -saww , and Allah -azwj is the Helper against the one who is unjust to us -asws , and there is no Might and no Power except by Allah -azwj the High, the Magnificent’.
