فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ بَغْيَهَا...
فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ بَغْيَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَ كَرَاهِيَتَكُمَا لَهَا وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ عَلِمْتُ ذَلِكَ لَأَبَنْتُهَا مِنْ نَفْسِي وَ لَكِنِّي قَدْ أَبَنْتُهَا الْآنَ لِتَأْمَنَا مَا تَحْذَرَانِ فَمَا كُنْتُ بِالَّذِي أُحِبُّ مَنْ تَكْرَهَانِ فَلِذَلِكَ أَسْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ النُّورَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمْ Abdullah said, ‘I did not know of her rebellion upon you, and her disliking you both, and had I known that I would have irrevocably divorced her from myself.
But, I hereby irrevocably divorce her right now for you to be secure from what you are both cautious of, for I don’t want to be the one who loves the one who abhors you both’. Therefore, due to that, Allah -azwj Sent forth the light which you saw.
وَ أَمَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ نُورٌ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ وَ هُوَ سَيِّدُ الْقَوْمِ وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَلَقَدْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ فَاخْتَارَهُ وَ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ بِمَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي وَلِيَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِيكَانَ فِيهَا ظَفَرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ مِنْ فِيهِ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُنَافِقِي عَسْكَرِهِمْ يُرِيدُ التَّضْرِيبَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ إِفْسَادَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا And as for Zayd Bin Harisa, that which came out from his mouth, light more illuminating that the emerging sun – he was the chief of the people and their superior, and Allah -azwj had Known what was be happening from him.
So He -azwj Hose him and Graced him upon his knowledge with what would be happening from him during the day which was to follow this night – in which the Momineen were victorious in – with the emerging sun from his mouth. A man from the hypocrites of his soldiers came over intending the souring of relations between him and Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , and spoiling whatever was between them.
فَقَالَ لَهُ بَخْ بَخْ لَكَ أَصْبَحْتَ لَا نَظِيرَ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ صَحَابَتِهِ وَ هَذَا بَلَاؤُكَ وَ هَذَا الَّذِي شَاهَدْنَاهُ نُورُكَ He said to him, ‘Congratulations, congratulations! You come to the morning and there is no match for you among the People -asws of the Household of Rasool-Allah -saww and his -saww companions. This plague is your doing, and this light of yours which we witnessed’.
