[17] ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws ...

[17] ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws , he (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘For which thing (reason) is one need to the Prophet -saww and the Imam -asws ?’ He -asws said: ‘For the remaining of the world upon its correctness, and that is because Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Raised the Punishment from the people of the earth when there was a Prophet -as or an Imam -asws in it. Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, [8:33] .

And the Prophet -saww said: ‘The stars are a security for the inhabitants of the sky, and the People -asws of my -saww Household are a security for the inhabitants of the earth. So, whenever the stars disappear there comes to the inhabitants of the sky what they dislike, and when the People -asws of my -saww Household go away, there comes to the inhabitants of the earth what they dislike.

It means, by the People -asws of his -saww Household, those Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic has Paired their -asws obedience to His -azwj obedience, so He -azwj Said: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59] , and they -asws are the infallibles, the Purified ones, those who are not committing sins and are not disobeying, and they -asws are the Aided, the Harmonised, the Guided.

Due to them Allah -azwj Sustains His -azwj servants, and due to them He -azwj Builds His -azwj country, and due to them the drops descend from the sky, and due to them the Blessings of the earth emerge, and due to them -asws the disobedient people are given respite and they are not being hastened with the scourge and the Punishment upon them.

The Holy Spirit does not separate from them -asws and they -asws do not separate from it, nor are they separating from the Quran nor does it separated from them -asws , may the Salawat of Allah -azwj be upon them -asws all’’. [18] ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said and he -saww was a number of his -saww companions: ‘My -saww staying (alive) in your midst is good for you, and my -saww separation (expiry) is good for you’.
