[6] و قال الصادق (عليه السلام)...

[6] و قال الصادق (عليه السلام): «قراءتها على الأذن الدوية التي فيها الدواثر تزيلها، و قراءتها على الموضع المفسخ تزيله، و قراءتها على البواسير تقطعها بإذن الله تعالى And Al-Sadiq -asws said: ‘Its (Surah Al-Aa’la) recitation upon the spoil inner ear wherein is the blockage, it would remove it; and its recitation upon the disruptive place would remove it; and its recitation upon the haemorrhoids (piles), it would cut it by the Permission of Allah -azwj the Exalted’’.

[7] ابن بابويه: بإسناده، عن سيف بن عميرة، عن منصور بن حازم، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام)، قال: «الواجب على كل مؤمن- إذا كان لنا شيعة- أن يقرأ في ليلة الجمعة بالجمعة و سبح اسم ربك الأعلى، و في صلاة الظهر بالجمعة و المنافقين In Babuwayh, by his chain, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Mansour Bin Hazim: Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘It is Obligatory upon every Momin – if he was our -asws Shias – that he should recite during the night of the Friday (Thursday evening) with (Surah) Al-Jumm’a (Chapter 62), and: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted [87:1] (Surah Al-A’ala), and during Al-Zohr Salat with (Surah) Al-Jumm’a (Chapter 62) and (Surah) Al-Munafiqeen (Chapter 63).

فإذا فعل ذلك فكأنما يعمل كعمل رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله)، و كان جزاؤه و ثوابه على الله الجنة So, when he does that, it would be as if he has done like what Rasool-Allah -saww had done, and his Recompense and his Reward upon Allah -azwj would be the Paradise’.

[8] VERSES 1 – 7 سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى {1} Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted [87:1] الَّذِي خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ {2} Who Created, then Completed [87:2] وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ {3} And the One Who Determined, then Guided [87:3] وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ {4} And the One Who Brings forth the pasture [87:4] فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ {5} Then Makes it stubble, dried up [87:5] سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنْسَىٰ {6} We will Make you read, so you will not forget [87:6] إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ {7} Except what Allah so Desires.

He Knows the declared, and what is hidden (remains undeclared) [87:7] The Speech of Allah -azwj is unlike the speech of people and there are ‘النَّاسِخَ’ the abrogating Verses superseding the earlier instructions ‘الْمَنْسُوخِ’ the abrogated Verses, which were meant to be for a specific time or an event. Hence one has to be very careful, see for example, below a Holy Verse where Allah -azwj Talks about ‘النَّاسِخَ مِنَ الْمَنْسُوخِ’ the abrogating from the abrogated.
