Then he -asws said...

Then he -asws said: ‘Do you know what is the meaning of the remaining (steadfast) what we -asws are steadfast upon. So when we -asws make a move, so you move (as well). and fear Allah, your Lord for what we adhere to so that you may be successful ’. قال: قلت: جعلت فداك، إنما نقرؤها وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ قال: «أنتم تقرؤنها كذا، و نحن نقرؤها هكذا». I said, May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! But rather, we are reciting it as and fear Allah ’.

He -asws said: ‘You all are reciting it like that, and we -asws are reciting it like this’. [16] الشيخ في (مجالسه) بإسناده، حذفناه اختصارا، في حديث أبي ذر، قال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): «يا أبا ذر، أتعلم في أي شي‏ء أنزلت هذه الآية اصْبِرُوا وَ صابِرُوا وَ رابِطُوا وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ»؟ قلت: لا، فداك أبي و أمي. قال: «في انتظار الصلاة خلف الصلاة». Al Sheykh in his Majaalis, by his chain we deleted for shortening, In a Hadeeth of Abu Zarr -ra .

Rasool-Allah -saww said to him -ra : ‘O Abu Zarr -ra ! Do you -ra know regarding which thing this Verse was Revealed O you who believe! Be patient, and excel in patience, and remain steadfast, and fear Allah, that you may be successful [3:200] ?’ I -ra said, ‘No, may my -ra father and my -ra mother be sacrificed for you -saww !’ He -saww said: ‘Regarding waiting for the Salat after the Salat ’’. [17] عن أبي الطفيل، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، في هذه الآية، قال: «نزلت فينا».

From Abu Tufayl, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far -asws regarding this Verse (3:200), said: ‘It was Revealed regarding us -asws ’’.

[18] VERSE 6:158 هَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ رَبُّكَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَ بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ ۗ يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمَانِهَا خَيْرًا ۗ قُلِ انْتَظِرُوا إِنَّا مُنْتَظِرُونَ {1586:} Are they only waiting that the Angels should come to them, or your Lord should come, or some of the Signs of your Lord should come?

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, or earned goodness during its Eman.
