سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ ما فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ عِظْهُمْ وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا بَلِيغاً يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ فُلَاناً وَ فُلَاناً وَ ما أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) مِمَّا صَنَعُوا أَيْ لَوْ جَاءُوكَ بِهَا يَا عَلِيُّ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ مِمَّا صَنَعُوا وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً فَلا وَ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيما شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ بِعَيْنِهِ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ يُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً لِعَلِيٍّ.

<a id="_Toc492473657">H 14974</a> – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, and someone else, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Ibn Azina, from Abdullah Bin Najjashy who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-i">I</span> heard Abu Abdullah</span><sup>asws</sup> saying regarding the Statement of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:4#h63"><a href="/books/quran:4#h63">[4:63]</a></a> These are they of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, and speak to them effectual words concerning themselves”</span>, Meaning, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar). <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:4#h64"><a href="/books/quran:4#h64">[4:64]</a></a> And We did not send any messenger but that he should be obeyed by Allah's permission; and had they, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful”</span>, Meaning, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> and Ali<sup>asws</sup> due to what they had done to him<sup>asws</sup>. Yes, <span class="ibTxt">had they</span> come to you<sup>asws</sup> with it, O Ali<sup>asws</sup>, <span class="ibTxt">and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful</span>. <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:4#h65"><a href="/books/quran:4#h65">[4:65]</a></a> But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them”</span>. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, it is Ali<sup>asws</sup> who is Meant by it. <span class="ibTxt">and then do not find any straightness in their hearts as to what you have decided</span>, upon your<sup>saww</sup> tongue, O Rasool Allah<sup>saww</sup>, Meaning by it the Wilayah of Ali<sup>asws</sup> <span class="ibTxt">and submit with entire submission</span> to Ali<sup>asws</sup>’.
