حکمت 88: و درود خدا بر او (امام باقر (ع) از… · Saying 88

وَ حَكَي عَنْهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرُ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ:

كَانَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمَانَانِ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ رُفِعَ أَحَدُهُمَا فَدُونَكُمُ الْآخَرَ فَتَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ أَمَّا الْأَمَانُ الَّذِي رُفِعَ فَهُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلي الله عليه وآله) وَ أَمَّا الْأَمَانُ الْبَاقِي فَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَي وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ.

قال الرضي: و هذا من محاسن الاستخراج و لطائف الاستنباط.

(Imam) Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Ali al-Baqir, peace be upon both of them has related from Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, that he said: There were two sources of deliverance from the Allah's punishment, one of which has been raised up, while the other is before you. You should therefore adhere to it. The source of deliverance, which has been raised up is the Messenger of Allah (may He bless him and his descendants), while the source of deliverance that remains is the seeking of forgiveness. Allah, the Glorified, has said: "And Allah is not to chastise them while you are among them, nor is Allah to chastise them while yet they seek forgiveness," (Qur'an, 8:33). Al-Sayyid al-Radi says: This is one of the most beautiful way of dedueing the meaning and the most delicate manner of interpretation
