Al Ayyashi...

Al Ayyashi, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad -asws , said, ‘I asked him -asws about this Verse in its esoteric (interpretation): and He Sent upon you water from the sky to Purify you by it, and Remove uncleanness of the satan from you, and to Bind your hearts and Affirm the feet by it [8:11] . He -asws said: ‘The ‘sky’ in the esoteric (Meaning) is Rasool-Allah -saww .

And the ‘water’ – is Ali -asws , Allah -azwj Made him -asws to be from Rasool-Allah -saww . These are His -azwj Words: water from the sky to Purify you by it – so that is Ali -asws . Allah -azwj Purifies the heart of the one who befriends him -asws ’.

و أما قوله: وَ يُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطانِ من والى عليا (عليه السلام) يذهب الرجز عنه، و يقوي قلبه، وَ لِيَرْبِطَ عَلى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ يُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْأَقْدامَ فإنه يعني عليا (عليه السلام)، من والى عليا (عليه السلام) يربط الله على قلبه بعلي (عليه السلام) فيثبت على ولايته».

And as for His -azwj Words: and Remove uncleanness of the satan from you – the one who befriends Ali -asws , the uncleanness goes away from him, and his heart is strengthened and to Bind your hearts and Affirm the feet by it [8:11] – so it Means Ali -asws . The one who befriends Ali -asws , Allah -azwj Binds his heart with Ali -asws , so he is steadfast upon his -asws Wilayah’.

[58] عن رجل، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) في قول الله: وَ يُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّيْطانِ، قال: «لا يدخلنا ما يدخل الناس من الشك». From a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws regarding the Words of Allah -azwj : and Remove uncleanness of the satan from you [8:11] , he -asws said: ‘Do not let us enter into doubts which the people have entered into’.

[59] عنه، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن أبى بصير، عن أبى – عبد الله (ع) قال: حدثنى أبى، عن جده، قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (ع): اشربوا ماء السماء، فانه يطهر البدن ويدفع الاسقام، قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ” وينزل عليكم من السماء ماءا ليطهركم به، ويذهب عنكم رجز الشيطان، وليربط على قلوبكم ويثبت به الاقدام “.

From him, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abu Baseer, Abu Abdullah -asws has said: ‘My -asws father -asws narrated to me -asws , from his -asws grandfather -asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘Drink the water of the sky (rain), for it purifies the body and repels the illnesses.
