وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ يَا حُمْرَانُ حَيْثُ نَزَلَ بِهِمْ مَا نَزَلَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ إِظْهَارِ الطَّوَاغِيتِ عَلَيْهِمْ سَأَلُوا اللَّهَ دَفْعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ وَ أَلَحُّوا فِيهِ فِي إِزَالَةِ مُلْكِ الطَّوَاغِيتِ إِذاً لَأَجَابَهُمْ وَ دَفَعَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ O Humran, and when it befell with them -asws what befell from the Commands of Allah -zawj and the prevailing of the tyrants upon them -asws , had they -asws asked Allah -zawj to Repel that from them -asws , and insisted regarding it in declining the kingdom of the tyrants, then He -zawj would have Answered them -asws and Pushed that away from them -asws .
ثُمَّ كَانَ انْقِضَاءُ مُدَّةِ الطَّوَاغِيتِ وَ ذَهَابُ مُلْكِهِمْ أَسْرَعَ مِنْ سِلْكٍ مَنْظُومٍ انْقَطَعَ فَتَبَدَّدَ وَ مَا كَانَ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا حُمْرَانُ لِذَنْبٍ اقْتَرَفُوهُ وَ لَا لِعُقُوبَةِ مَعْصِيَةٍ خَالَفُوا اللَّهَ فِيهَا وَ لَكِنْ لِمَنَازِلَ وَ كَرَامَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَرَادَ أَنْ يبلغها [يَبْلُغُوهَا] فَلَا تَذْهَبَنَّ فِيهِمُ الْمَذَاهِبُ بِكَ.
Then the expiration of the term of the tyrants and the departure of their kingdom would have been quicker than the cutting of a thread of beads, and it would have scattered. And that which afflicted them -asws from that, O Humran, wasn’t due to sins they -asws had indulged in, nor a Punishment for any act of disobedience they -asws had opposed Allah -zawj in it, but it was for a position and prestige from Allah -zawj , He -zawj Wanted it to reach.
Therefore, do not let them take the doctrines away from you’’. [2] حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّيَّارِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا عُقْبَةُ يَقُولُونَ بِأَمْرٍ ثُمَّ يَكْسِرُونَهُ وَ يُضَعِّفُونَهُ وَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى احْتَجَّ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ بِأَمْرٍ ثُمَّ يَحْتَجِبُ عَنْهُ عِلْمُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Sayyari, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Al Ansari, from Salih Bin Uqba Al Asady, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said to me: ‘O Uqba!
They are speaking with a matter, then breaking it and weakening it, and they are claiming that Allah -zawj Blessed and Exalted Argued upon His -zawj creatures with a matter, then Hid from him -saww knowledge of the skies and the earth. No, by Allah -zawj !
