«34»- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عليهم السلام قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَ مَنْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَظّاً ثُمَّ ظَنَّ أَنَّ أَحَداً لَمْ يُفْعَلْ بِهِ مَا فُعِلَ بِهِ وَ قَدْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ حَقَّرَ نِعَمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ.

«34»- m, the Tafsir of the Imam, peace be upon him: from Abu Muhammad al-'Askari, from his forefathers, peace be upon them, who said: The Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said: God, mighty and majestic, has not bestowed upon a servant, after faith in God, anything more excellent than the knowledge of the Book of God and the knowing of its interpretation. And whoever God has given a portion of that, and who then supposes that no one has had done for him what has been done for him, when another has been given more than he — such a one has belittled the blessings of God upon him.

«35»- وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جاءَتْكُمْ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ شِفاءٌ لِما فِي الصُّدُورِ وَ هُديً وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ فَبِذلِكَ فَلْيَفْرَحُوا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ ٢قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْقُرْآنُ وَ الْعِلْمُ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ وَ تَوْفِيقُهُ لِمُوَالاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ مُعَادَاةُ أَعْدَائِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله وَ كَيْفَ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ خَيْراً مِمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ وَ هُوَ ثَمَنُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ نَعِيمُهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُكْتَسَبُ بِهَا رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يُسْتَحَقُّ الْكَوْنُ بِحَضْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّيِّبِينَ أَشْرَفُ زِينَةِ الْجِنَانِ ثُمَّ قَالَ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْعِلْمِ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ وَ بِمُوَالاتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ التَّبَرِّي مِنْ أَعْدَائِنَا أَقْوَاماً فَيَجْعَلُهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرِ قَادَةً [وَ] أَئِمَّةً فِي الْخَيْرِ تُقْتَصُّ آثَارُهُمْ وَ تُرْمَقُ أَعْمَالُهُمْ وَ يُقْتَدَى بِفِعَالِهِمْ وَ تَرْغَبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي خُلَّتِهِمْ وَ تَمْسَحُهُمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ كُلُّ رَطْبٍ وَ يَابِسٍ حَتَّى حِيتَانُ الْبَحْرِ وَ هَوَامُّهُ وَ سِبَاعُ الْبَرِّ وَ أَنْعَامُهُ وَ السَّمَاءُ وَ نُجُومُهَا.

«35»- And the Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said concerning His words, exalted be He: "O people, there has come to you an admonition from your Lord, and a healing for what is in the breasts, and a guidance and a mercy for the believers. Say: In the bounty of God and in His mercy — in that let them rejoice; it is better than what they amass" (2). The Messenger of God — may God bless him and his family — said: The bounty of God, mighty and majestic, is the Qur'an and the knowledge of its interpretation; and His mercy is His granting of success in the friendship of Muhammad and his pure family and in enmity toward their enemies. Then he — may God bless him and his family — said: And how should that not be better than what they amass, when it is the price of the Garden and its bliss? For by it is gained the good pleasure of God, which is more excellent than the Garden; and by it is merited the being in the presence of Muhammad and his pure family, which is more excellent than the Garden — for indeed Muhammad and the pure family of Muhammad are the noblest adornment of the Gardens. Then he — may God bless him and his family — said: By this Qur'an, and by the knowledge of its interpretation, and by friendship with us, the People of the House, and by dissociation from our enemies, God raises up peoples and makes them leaders in the good [and] guides in the good: their traces are traced out, and their deeds are watched, and their doings are followed as examples; and the angels desire their friendship and stroke them with their wings in their prayers; and there seeks forgiveness for them everything moist and dry — even the fish of the sea and its creeping things, and the beasts of prey of the land and its cattle, and the heaven and its stars.
