[15] فِي أَمَالِي شَيْخِ الطَّائِفَةِ قُدِّسَ سِرُّهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ مِينَا عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ أَنَّ نَفَراً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ اعْتَرَضَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ وَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ الْعَاصُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَقَالُوا: يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلُمَّ فَلْنَعْبُدْ مَا تَعْبُدُ فَتَعْبُدُ مَا نَعْبُدُ فَنَشْرَكُ نَحْنُ وَ أَنْتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ، In (the book) Amaali of Sheykh Al Ta’ifa, by his chain up to Saeed Bin Mayna, from someone else from his companions, ‘A number of Quraysh objected to Rasool-Allah -saww .
(They were) – Utba Bin Rabi’a, and Umayya Bin Khalaf, and Al-Waleed Bin Al-Mugheira, and Al-Aas Bin Al-Saeed, and they said, ‘O Muhammad -saww ! Come, we shall worship what you -saww worship, and you -saww should worship what we worship. Then we would be participants, us and you -saww , in the matter.
فَإِنْ يَكُنِ الَّذِي نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَقَّ فَقَدْ أَخَذْتَ بِحَظِّكَ مِنْهُ، وَ إِنْ يَكُنِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَقَّ فَقَدْ أَخَذْنَا بِحَظِّنَا مِنْهُ Then if it so happens that what we are upon is the truth, then you -saww would have taken your -saww share from it, and if it so happens that what you -saww are upon is the truth, then we would have taken our share from it’.
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ لا أَعْبُدُ ما تَعْبُدُونَ وَ لا أَنْتُمْ عابِدُونَ ما أَعْبُدُ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَة Allah -azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed: Say: ‘O you Kafirs!’ [109:1] I do not worship what you are worshipping [109:2] Nor are you worshipping what I worship [109:3] – up to the end of the Chapter’’.
[16] فِي قُرْبِ الْإِسْنَادِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي «قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ* لا أَعْبُدُ ما تَعْبُدُونَ» أَعْبُدُ رَبِّي وَ لِي دِينِي، دِينِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَيْهِ أَحْيَى وَ عَلَيْهِ أَمُوتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ In (the book) Qurb Al Asnad – ‘By his chain going up to Abu Abdullah -asws regarding: Say: ‘O you Kafirs!’ [109:1] I do not worship what you are worshipping [109:2] (said): ‘I -asws worship my -asws Lord -azwj , and for me -asws is my -asws Religion.
My -asws Religion is Al-Islam. Upon it I -asws live, and upon it I -asws shall be passing away, if Allah -azwj so Desires’’.
