هتفوا بذكر علي عليه السلام فخاف من اضطراب الأمر عليه فنهاهم ، فسئلته عن غريبة ؟

They called out with the mention of 'Ali, peace be upon him; so he feared that the affair would be shaken against him, and forbade them. Then I asked him about the rare words in it.

فقال أما الرعة بالتخفيف أي الاستماع والاصغاء والقالة القول ، وثعالة اسم للثعلب علم غير مصروف مثل ذوألة للذئب ، وشهيده ذنبه أي لا شاهد له على ما يدعي إلا بعضه وجزء منه ، وأصله مثل قالوا : إن الثعلب أراد أن يغري الأسد بالذئب فقال : إنه أكل الشاة التي كنت أعددتها لنفسك وكنت حاضرا ، قال : فمن يشهد بذلك ؟

And he said: As for al-ri'a, without doubling, it is listening and giving ear; and al-qala is speech. And Thu'ala is a name for the fox, a proper noun not declined, like Dhu'ala for the wolf. And “his witness is his tail” — that is, he has no witness for what he claims but a part and a portion of himself. And its origin is a proverb: they said that the fox wished to set the lion against the wolf, and said: He ate the sheep that you had prepared for yourself, and I was present. He said: Then who will testify to that?

فرفع ذنبه وعليه دم وكان الأسد قد افتقد الشاة فقبل شهادته وقتل الذئب ومرب ملازم أرب لازم بالمكان وكروها جذعه ، أعيدوها إلى الحال الأولي يعني الفتنة والهرج ، وأم طحال امرأة بغي في الجاهلية ويضرب بها المثل ، يقال : أزنى من أم طحال ، إنتهى 1 .

So he raised his tail, and upon it was blood; and the lion had missed the sheep, so he accepted his testimony and killed the wolf. And murib is one who clings — ariba, he kept to the place. And “turn it back young again”: bring it back to its first state, meaning the discord and the tumult. And Umm Tihal was an adulterous woman in the age of ignorance, and she is given as a proverb: it is said, “more adulterous than Umm Tihal.” End of quotation. [1]

أقول : وفي كتاب الدر النظيم لجمال الدين يوسف بن حاتم الفقيه الشامي تلميذ المحقق الحلي إنه قال : قالت أم سلمة حيث سمعت ما جرى لفاطمة عليها السلام ألمثل فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقال : هذا القول : هي والله الحوراء بين الإنس والنفس للنفس ، ربيت في حجور الأتقياء وتناولتها أيدي الملائكة ، ونمت في حجور الطاهرات ، ونشأت خير نشاء وربيت خير مربي .

I say: and in the book al-Durr al-Nazim of Jamal al-Din Yusuf b. Hatim, the jurist of Syria, the pupil of al-Muhaqqiq al-Hilli, he said: Umm Salama said, when she heard what had befallen Fatima, peace be upon her: Is it to the like of Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his Family, that this saying is said? She, by God, is the houri among mankind, and the soul for the soul. She was raised in the laps of the God-fearing, and the hands of the angels took her, and she grew in the laps of the pure women, and came up in the best of growth and was raised in the best of raising.

أتزعمون أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله حرم عليها ميراثه ولم يعلمها ؟ ! ! !

Do you claim that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his Family, forbade her his inheritance and did not inform her of it?!!!

وقد قال الله تعالى : * ( وأنذر عشيرتك الأقربين ) * 2 أفأنذرها وخالفت متطلبة ؟

And God, exalted, has said: “And warn your nearest kindred.” [2] Did he then warn her, and she opposed him by making a demand?

وهي خيرة النسوان وأم سادة الشبان وعديلة ابنة عمران ، تمت بأبيها رسالات ربه ، فوالله لقد كان يشفق عليها من الحر والقر ، ويوشدها 3 بيمينه ويلحفها بشماله رويدا ، ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بمرأى منكم وعلى الله تردون واها لكم فسوف تعلمون فحرمت أم سلمة عطاها في تلك السنة ، انتهى .

And she is the best of women and the mother of the chiefs of the youths and the peer of the daughter of 'Imran. Through her father the messages of his Lord were completed. By God, he used to be tender towards her against the heat and the cold, and would pillow her [3] upon his right hand and cover her with his left — gently! And the Messenger of God, may God bless him and his Family, is in your sight, and to God you shall return. Woe to you! You shall come to know. So Umm Salama was deprived of her stipend that year. End of quotation.
