[8] ابن شهر آشوب...

[8] ابن شهر آشوب: عن الثعلبي، و سماك، عن عكرمة، عن ابن عباس، في قوله تعالى: وَ ما رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ أن النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) قال لعلي (عليه السلام): «ناولني كفا من حصباء» فناوله و رمى به في وجوه قريش، فما بقي أحد إلا امتلأت عيناه من الحصباء.

Ibn Shehr Ashub, from Al Sa’alby, and Samaak, from Akrama, (It has been narrated) from Ibn Abbas regarding His -azwj Words: and you did not threw when you threw, but Allah Threw [8:17] – the Prophet -saww said to Ali -asws : ‘Hand over to me -saww some sand. So he -asws handed over to him -saww , and he -saww threw it upon the faces of Quraysh. So there did not remain anyone except that his eyes were filled from the sand’.

[9] الطبرسي في (الاحتجاج): عن أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)، في قوله تعالى: فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوهُمْ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ قَتَلَهُمْ وَ ما رَمَيْتَ إِذْ رَمَيْتَ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ رَمى: «سمى فعل النبي (صلى الله عليه و آله) فعلا له، ألا ترى تأويله على غير تنزيله».

Al Tabarsy in Al Ihtijaj – ‘From Amir Al-Momineen -asws regarding His -azwj Words: So you did not kill them but Allah Killed them, and you did not threw when you threw, but Allah Threw [8:17] : ‘He -azwj Named the deed of the Prophet -saww as being His -azwj deed. Do you not see that its explanation is upon other than its Revelation?’ [10] Point 8: Hand of Allah -azwj Over here the speaker implies that Allah -azwj has hands and Allah -azwj has Talked about His -azwj Hands in lots of Verses!

And cites two Holy Verses, 48:10 and 38:75 . Reply to Point 8: إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكُثُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا {10} Surely, those pledging allegiance to you are rather pledging their allegiances to Allah, the Hand of Allah being Above their hands.

So the one who breaks, is rather breaking against himself, and the one who fulfils with what Allah Covenanted upon him, would be Given a Mighty Recompense [48:10] قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ {75} He said: “O Iblees! What prevented you from doing Sajdah to what I Created by My Hands?
