فَلَمَّا اسْتَجَابَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ مَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ...
فَلَمَّا اسْتَجَابَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ مَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ مِنْهُمْ شِرْعَةً وَ مِنْهَاجاً وَ الشِّرْعَةُ وَ الْمِنْهَاجُ سَبِيلٌ وَ سُنَّةٌ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ كَما أَوْحَيْنا إِلى نُوحٍ وَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ أَمَرَ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ بِالْأَخْذِ بِالسَّبِيلِ وَ السُّنَّةِ So, when they answered to each Prophet -azwj , the one who answered to him -as from his -as people, from the Momineen (plural of Momin) , He -azwj Made for each Prophet -as from them -as , a Law, and a manifesto; and the Law and the manifesto are a Way and a Sunnah, and Allah -azwj Said to Muhammad -saww [4:163] Surely, We have Revealed to you as We Revealed unto Noah, and the Prophets after him ; and He -azwj Commanded to each Prophet -as with the holding to the Way and the Sunnah.
وَ كَانَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ السَّبِيلِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَا مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) أَنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّبْتَ وَ كَانَ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ السَّبْتِ وَ لَمْ يَسْتَحِلَّ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِحَقِّهِ وَ اسْتَحَلَّ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ الَّذِي نَهَاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِيهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ النَّارَ وَ ذَلِكَ حَيْثُ اسْتَحَلُّوا الْحِيتَانَ وَ احْتَبَسُوهَا وَ أَكَلُوهَا يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ And it was from the Sunnah and the Way which Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded Musa -as with, that Allah -azwj Made the Sabbath to be upon them , and it was from the reverence of the Sabbath and (the one who) did not Legalise (fishing during it).
If he did that (reverence) from fear of Allah -azwj , Allah -azwj would Enter him into the Paradise, but the one who takes its right lightly and legalizes what Allah -azwj Prohibited upon him, from the deed which Allah -azwj had Forbidden from, Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would Enter him into the Fire; and that was where they legalized the fish and they ensnared these and ate these on the day of the Sabbath.
