Tafsir al-'Ayyashi: Humran related the like of it.

«59»- شی، تفسير العياشي عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ٢عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى الم ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ قَالَ كِتَابُ عَلِيٍّ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ هُدىً لِلْمُتَّقِينَ قَالَ الْمُتَّقُونَ شِيعَتُنَا الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ وَ مِمَّا عَلَّمْنَاهُمْ يَبُثُّونَ.

Tafsir al-'Ayyashi: Sa'dan b. Muslim related from Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, concerning the verse "Alif Lam Mim. That is the Book, there is no doubt in it": he said, it is the Book of 'Ali, peace be upon him, in which there is no doubt; and "a guidance for the God-fearing" — the God-fearing are our Shi'a, who believe in the unseen, establish the prayer and spend in charity, and who spread abroad what we have taught them.

«60»- شی، تفسير العياشي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَی وَ مَنْ أَحْياها فَكَأَنَّما أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً قَالَ لَمْ يَقْتُلْهَا ٣ أَوْ أَنْجَاهَا مِنْ غَرَقٍ أَوْ حَرَقٍ أَوْ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ يُخْرِجُهَا مِنْ ضَلَالَةٍ إِلَى هُدًى.

Tafsir al-'Ayyashi: Muhammad b. Muslim related from Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, concerning the verse "and whoever gives it life, it is as though he had given life to all mankind": he said, its meaning is that he does not kill him although retaliation against him is established; or that he saves him from drowning or burning; and greatest of all is that he brings someone out of error into guidance.

«61»- شی، تفسير العياشي عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عليه السلام قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَ مَنْ أَحْياها فَكَأَنَّما أَحْيَا النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً قَالَ مَنِ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِنَ الْكُفْرِ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ.

Tafsir al-'Ayyashi: Abu Basir said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, about the verse "and whoever gives it life, it is as though he had given life to all mankind." He said: What is meant is bringing someone out of unbelief into faith.

«62»- سر، السرائر مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمَشِيخَةِ لِابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى عليه السلام قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبْلِغْ خَيْراً وَ قُلْ خَيْراً وَ لَا تَكُونَنَّ إِمَّعَةً.

Al-Sara'ir: Al-Fadl related from the seventh Imam, peace be upon him, that he said: Convey good and speak good, and do not be an "imma'a" — do not say, I am with the people and like one of them.

مكسورة الألف مشددة الميم المفتوحة و العين غير المعجمة.

"Imma'a" is with kasra on the alif, a doubled and voweled mim, and an undotted 'ayn.

قَالَ: وَ مَا الْإِمَّعَةُ قَالَ لَا تَقُولَنَّ أَنَا مَعَ النَّاسِ وَ أَنَا كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى اللّٰه عليه و آله قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا هُمَا نَجْدَانِ نَجْدُ خَيْرٍ وَ نَجْدُ شَرٍّ فَمَا بَالُ نَجْدِ الشَّرِّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ نَجْدِ الْخَيْرِ.

Do not say to everyone, I am with you; for the Prophet said: There are no more than two paths, the path of good and the path of evil — why, then, is the path of evil dearer to you than the path of good?
