I said, ‘Who are they, may I be sacrificed for you -asws ?’ He -asws said: ‘Who can they happen to be apart from us -asws ?’ [12] Holy Verse 3: وَمِنَ النَّاسِ وَالدَّوَابِّ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مُخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَانُهُ كَذَٰلِكَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ {28} And from the people, and beasts and cattle are various species of it, similar to that.

Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Ali Bin Abdullah Bin Asad, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Umar, from Maqaatil Bin Suleyman, from Al Zahaak Bin Mazaahim, ‘From Ibn Abbas, regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: But rather, Allah is feared by those from His knowledgeable servants [35:28] , said, ‘It Means by it, Ali -asws who was a knowledgeable one with Allah -azwj , and feared Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Who was Watching him -asws .
And he -asws performed His -azwj Obligations, and fought in His -azwj Way, and followed His -azwj Desire in all of His -azwj Commands, and the desire of Rasool-Allah -saww ’.
[13] Holy Verse 4: أَمَّنْ هُوَ قَانِتٌ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ سَاجِدًا وَقَائِمًا يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَيَرْجُو رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ {9} Safe is He who is obedient during the hours of the night, performing Sajdah and standing, being cautious of the Hereafter and hoping for the Mercy of his Lord.
