Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hamdan Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Yamani, from Mani’e Bin Al Hajjaj, from Yunus, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws regarding the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: a soul will not benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before [6:158] – Meaning during the Covenant, or earned goodness during its Eman [6:158] .
He -asws said: ‘The acknowledgement with the Prophets -as and the successors -as and Amir Al-Momineen -asws in particular’. He -asws said: ‘Its Eman would not benefit it because it would have been Confiscated’.
[21] ابن بابويه، قال: حدثني أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن علي بن رئاب، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، أنه قال في قول الله عز و جل: يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آياتِ رَبِّكَ لا يَنْفَعُ نَفْساً إِيمانُها لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ. فقال (عليه السلام): «الآيات: الأئمة، و الآية المنتظرة: القائم (عليه السلام)، فيومئذ لا ينفع نفسا إيمانها لم تكن آمنت من قبل قيامه بالسيف، و إن آمنت بمن تقدم من آبائه (عليهم السلام)».
Ibn Babuwayh said, ‘My father narrated to me, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Bin Abu Al Khattab, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’aib, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said regarding the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: The day some of the Signs of your Lord do come, a soul will not benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before [6:158] , so he -asws said: ‘The Signs – The Imams -asws , and the Sign which is awaited – Al-Qaim -asws .
Thus, on that day a soul will not benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before [6:158] his -asws rising by the sword and believed in the ones who had preceded from his -asws forefathers -asws ’.
