In Majma` al-Bayan: Ja`far b. Muhammad reported from his father from his forefathers from the Prophet ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡.

When Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ wanted to reveal the Fatiha of the Book, Ayat al-Kursi, 3:18, and 3:26-27, they were attached to the Throne, and there was no barrier between them and Allah. They said: O Lord, will you send us down to the abode of sin and disobedience of You, while we are attached to purity and holiness? So He said: By My majesty and My glory! There is not a servant who recites you after every prayer except that I will settle him in a holy dwelling wherever he is, look to him seventy times with My hidden eye everyday, fulfill seventy of his needs – the lowest of which is forgiveness, and support him over every enemy. Nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death.

From al-Hasan b. `Aliย ุนู„ูŠู‡ู…ุง ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… in a long hadith: A group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡, and the most knowledgeable of them asked him about things. One of the things he asked was: Inform us of the seven characteristics that Allah has given you that He did not give to the prophets, and what He has given to your Umma that He has not given to the nations. So the Prophet ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ said: Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ has given me the Fatiha of the Book – until he (the Jewish man) said: You have spoken the truth, O Muhammad. What is the reward for one who recites the Fatiha of the Book? So the Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ said: Whomever recites the Fatiha of the Book, for each verse, Allah ุชุนุงู„ู‰ will give him the reward of every verse He has ever revealed from the heavens.

He said: The Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ said: Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ said: I have divided the Fatiha of the Book between Me and My servant. Half of it is for Me, and half of it is for My servant. For My servant is whatever he asks. When the servant says: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful” (1:1), Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ says: “My servant has begun with My name, and it is My responsibility to fulfill his affairs and to bless him in his condition.” When he says: “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds” (1:2), He ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ says: “My servant has praised Me, and he knows that the blessings that he has are from Me, and that the calamities that have been deflected from him were due to My power. I testify to you that I will offer him the good of this world and the good of the Hereafter, and I will deflect the calamities of the Hereafter from him just as I deflect the calamities of this world from him.” When he says: “The Beneficent, the Merciful” (1:3), Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ says: “My servant has testified that I am the Beneficent and the Merciful. I testify to you that I will set some of My mercy in his omen, and I will grant him a share of My bestowal.” When he says: “Master of the Day of Judgment” (1:4), Allah ุชุนุงู„ู‰ says: “I testify that just as you recognize that I am the Master of the Day of Judgment, I will ease his judgment, and not punish him for his sins.” When he says: “You do we worship” (1:5), Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ says: “He worships Me. I testify to you that I will reward him with a blessing for everyone that goes against him due to his worship of Me.” When he says: “and from You do we seek help” (1:5), Allah ุชุนุงู„ู‰ says: “He seeks help in Me. I testify to you that I will support him in his affairs, I will assist him in his hardships, and I will take him by his hand in his moments of destitution.” When he says: “Guide us to the straight path” (1:6) to the end of the chapter, Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ says: “This is My servant, and for My servant is whatever he asks.

Surely, the Fatiha of the Book is more honourable than the treasures of the Throne. Surely, Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ has chosen Muhammad and honoured him with it, and no prophet shares [any of] that honour except Sulayman ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…, for he was given “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful” (27:30), which is seen in the story of Balqees, who said, “It is from Sulayman, and it reads: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” (27:30). Surely, whomever recites it, whilst aligned with Muhammad and his Righteous Family, acting by their orders, and believing in their apparent and esoteric [teachings], Allah ุชุนุงู„ู‰ will give him a deed for every letter: each of which is better than this world and everything in it, from its wealth to its goodness. Whomever listens to a reciter who recites it will be given the same reward at the reciter. So, you should increase this good thing that has been given to you, for it is a treasure that does not disappear with time, and it will remain in your repentant hearts.

He said: It is Surat al-Hamd, which is seven verses. “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.” (1:1) is from it. It was called Oft-Coupled because it is recited in each of the two units of prayer.

So he said: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful” (1:1). So for that reason, He placed “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful” at the beginning of the chapter.

When “nor those who went astray” (1:7) was said, the Prophet ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู… said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, thank You.

Allah is One, and humanity is one, and [even] their oneness is not similar. He said: O Fat`h, may Allah make you steadfast. Likening is in meaning, but as for names, “one” is an indicator to that which is named.

By its isnad to Hisham b. al-Hakam.

He asked Abu `Abdillah ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… about the names of Allah and their derivations: Where is โ€œAllahโ€ derived from? He said: So he said to me: O Hisham, โ€œAllahโ€ is derived from โ€œgodโ€ (ilah) and โ€œthe godโ€ (al-ilah), that which has a servant (yaqtadi maโ€™looha). And a name is different from what is described; for whoever worships the name without the meaning has disbelieved and has worshiped nothing. And whoever worships the name and the meaning has disbelieved and has worshiped two things. Whoever worships the meaning without the name โ€“ that is monotheism (tawhid). Have you understood, O Hisham? He said: So I said: [Explain] further for me. He said: For Allah there are ninety-nine names; so if each name were a described thing, then each name from it would be a deity. However, Allah is the meaning that these names are indicative to, and they are all something other than Him. O Hisham, โ€œbreadโ€ is the name of an edible, โ€œwaterโ€ is the name of a beverage, โ€œclothโ€ is the name of what is worn, and โ€œfireโ€ is the name of what burns. Have you understood, O Hisham, with a comprehension that, by which, you can defend [our cause], and struggle against our enemies and those who have taken up [a deity] besides Allah ุนุฒูˆุฌู„? So I said: Yes. He said: So he said: May Allah avail you by it and make you steadfast, O Hisham.

Hisham said: By Allah, no one has overcome me in monotheism (tawhid) till this position I stand at (i.e. till this day).

In Kitab at-Tawheed: Muhammad b. al-Qasim al-Jarjani narrated to us. He said: Abu Ya`qub b. Muhammad b. Ziyad and Abu’l Hasan `Ali b. Muhammad b. Sayyar narrated to us – and they were Imami Shi`a – from their fathers from al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Muhammad ุนู„ูŠู‡ู… ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…, regarding the saying of Allah “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful”. So he said: Allah is He whom all creation seeks for help in moments of need, hardship, and hopelessness when all else fails. They say: “In the name of Allah” – I seek Allah’s help in all of my affairs, the only one whose worship is justified, the Succourer if He is sought, and the Benefactor if He is called.

A man said to as-Sadiq ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…: “O son of the Messenger of Allah! Point me toward Allah, what is He? For the debaters have confused me.” So he said to him: “O servant of Allah! Have you sailed upon a ship?” He said: “Yes.” [as-Sadiq said:] “Has it ever been damaged at a time when no ship could save you and no swimmers could help you?” He said: Yes.” He said: “So, in that moment, did your heart cling onto something that could deliver you from your trouble?” He said: “Yes.” as-Sadiq ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… said: “That thing is Allah, the one able to save when there is no saviour, and the Benefactor when there is no helper.”

And a man went to `Ali b. al-Husayn ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… and said: “Inform me, what is the meaning of ‘In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful’?” So `Ali b. al-Husayn ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… said: My father narrated from his brother al-Hasan from his father Amir al-Mu’mineen ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…, that a man went to him and said: ‘O Amir al-Mu’mineen! Tell me about *In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful*, what is its meaning?’ So he said: ‘The word *Allah* is the greatest name from the names of Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„, and it is the name that is not given to other than Allah, nor is a created thing named by it.’ So the man said: ‘So what is the interpretation of His saying *Allah*?’ So he said: ‘Allah is He who is sought for help in moments of need, hardship, and hopelessness when all else fails. The people still have needs that cannot be fulfilled by the leaders and significant ones of this world, and these significant ones too have needs that they cannot fulfill. So, they turn to Allah in their times of emergency and defeat, and when their worries are fulfilled, they return to polytheism. Have you not heard Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ say, *Say: Have you not considered, if there came to you the punishment of Allah, or there came to you the Hour, is it other than Allah that you would invoke, if you should be truthful? No, it is Him you would invoke, and He would remove that for which you invoked Him if He willed, and you would forget what you associate with Him.* (6:40-41) So Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ said to His worshipers: *O you poor ones! I have clung you to My mercy in every condition, and to humble obedience in every moment. So cry to Me for every matter that you would like to be perfected and fulfilled, for if I decide to grant you [its fulfillment], no one else can prevent it, and if I decide to prevent it from you, no one else can grant it to you; for I am most deserving of being asked and invoked. At the beginning of every matter, small and large, say: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent – meaning, I beseech Allah in this matter, no one else is more deserving of worship. He is the Succourer if He is sought, the Benefactor if He is called, the Beneficent who eases His merciful sustenance upon us, the Merciful to us in our religions, our lives, and our Hereafters. So, lighten our religion for us, and make it easy and light, and it is merciful to us by making us distinguished from His enemies.'”*

In Kitab al-Ihlilaja:

as-Sadiq ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… said: Surely, mercy, and what comes of it is from us. From it is compassion and generosity. Surely, the mercy of Allah is His reward to His creation. The mercy of the worshipers are two things: (1) that which comes from a tender heart, and (2) the delicacy of one who sees a person afflicted with a need and a calamity. The latter is what comes from us after our tenderness and kindness for a person and our recognition of what has come down. A person may say: “Look at the mercy of so-and-so!”, but surely he is referring to the action that came from the delicacy of the heart of so-and-so. These things do not reach Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„. What happens in the heart does not happen to Allah, just as He described Himself. He is Merciful, but He is not mercy or tenderness.

In `Uyun al-Akhbar: Muhammad b. al-Qasim al-Astarabadi al-Mufassir ุฑุถูŠ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู†ู‡ narrated to us. He said: Yusuf b. Muhammad b. Ziyad and `Ali b. Muhammad b. Sayyar narrated to me from their their fathers from al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. Musa b. Ja`far b. Muhammad b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib ุนู„ูŠู‡ู… ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… from his father from his grandfather ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู….

He said: A man came to ar-Rida ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… and said to him: O son of the Messenger of Allah! Inform me of the saying of Allah ุชุนุงู„ู‰, “Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds” (1:2), what is its interpretation? So he said: The Praise of Allah is that His servant recognizes some of what He blessed him with, because he is not able to recognize every blessing in detail, because there are too many to recognize. So He said to them (the creation): Say “Praise be to Allah” for what the Lord of the Worlds has blessed us with. They (the creation) include every created thing, from the inanimate to the animate. As for the animate, He allows them to move by His power, and He feeds them through His sustenance, and He guards them with His protection, and He provides their needs to them. As for the inanimate, He holds them with His power, and He holds the connected things from falling apart, and He holds the disconnected things from connecting together, and He holds the heavens from falling upon the Earth by His will, and He prevents the Earth from caving in by His command. Surely, He is gentle and merciful with His servants.

He ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… said: “The Lord of the Worlds” (1:2) – He is their Master, their Creator, and the one who gives them sustenance from where they are aware and where they are unaware. Sustenance is portioned, and it comes to the son of Adam from whichever path He chooses in this world. The pious are not made pious by their increase of it, and the transgressors are not made transgressors by their decrease of it. Between him (the person) and it (the sustenance) is a barrier, and he seeks it. Even if one of you were to run away from your sustenance, the sustenance will seek you, just as death seeks you. Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ says: “Say: Praise be to Allah for what He has blessed us with. And We have mentioned some of the good to you in the books of the previous peoples before you.” Here, He is telling Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad ุตู„ูˆุงุช ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ู… and their Shi`a to thank Him for what He has graced them with.

The Messenger of Allah ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ said: When Allahย ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ commissioned Musa b. `Imran ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู…, chose him, delivered him, split the sea for him, delivered the Children of Israel, gave him the Torah and the tablets, he saw his position with his Lord ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ and said: “O Lord! You have blessed me with a blessing that you have not blessed anyone with before me.” So Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ said: “O Musa! Do you not know that Muhammad is better to Me than all of the angels and the whole creation?” Musa said: “O Lord! If Muhammad is more noble to You than Your whole creation, then is there a family of the prophets better than mine?”ย  So Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ said: “O Musa! Do you not know that the preference of the Family of Muhammad over every family of the prophets is like the preference of Muhammad over all of the messengers?” And Musa said: “O Lord! If the family of Muhammad is like that, then is there a nation of the prophets better to You than my nation? The cloud shaded them, the manna and salwa were given to them, and the sea was split for them.” So Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ said: O Musa! Do you not know that the preference of the Umma of Muhammad is like his preference over the whole of creation?” So Musa said: “O Lord! I wish I could see them!” So Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ revealed to him: “O Musa! You will not see them, nor is this the time of their appearance, but you will see them in Paradise: the Paradise of Eden and the Garden with the honour of Muhammad in its fluctuating beauty, enjoying its goodness at its peak. Would you like to hear their words?” He said: “Yes, my God.” Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡ said: “Come before Me, fasten your gown, and stand like a humble servant before My Majesty.” So Musa ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… did that. So our Lord ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ called: “O Umma of Muhammad!” So they all answered Him while they were in the loins of their forefathers and the wombs of their mothers: “We are at Your service O Allah, we are at Your service. We are at Your service, You have no partner, we are at Your service. Praise, blessing, and the kingdom are all Yours. You have no partner.” He said: So Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ made that response the symbol of Hajj. Then, our Lord ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ called: “O Umma of Muhammad! In My judgment of you, My mercy will prevail over My anger, and My forgiveness over My punishment. I have granted you before you have called to Me, and I have given you before you have asked Me. Whomever of you meets me with the testimony that ‘there is no god except Allah, Alone, with no partners, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger’, truthful in his words and sincere in his actions, and that ‘`Ali b. Abi Talib ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… is his brother, his deputy after him, and his friend’, and sticks to his obedience just as he stuck to the obedience of Muhammad, and that ‘his chosen, pure, rightly successors with the signs of Allah and [His] indicators are the Proofs of Allah after them’, I will enter him into My Paradise, even if his sins are like the foam of the ocean.”

He said: When Allah ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ commissioned our Prophet Muhammad ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡ ูˆุณู„ู…, He said: “O Muhammad! At the side of the Sinai, I called to your Umma with this blessing.” Then, He ุนุฒ ูˆุฌู„ said to Muhammad ุตู„ู‰ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู„ูŠู‡ ูˆุขู„ู‡: “Say: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, who specified me with this favour.” And he said to his Umma: “Say: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, who specified us with this favour.”

He said: So the Qadari recited Surat al-Hamd until he reached the saying of Allah ุชุจุงุฑูƒ ูˆุชุนุงู„ู‰, “You do we worship, and from You do we seek help” (1:5). So Ja`far said to him: Stop.

We do not say what the Arab polytheists say; [that we are created by] our divine idols. We do not associate anything with You, nor do we call on a god besides You, as these disbelievers do.

Some will pass through it like lightning, some will pass through it galloping, some will pass through it walking, and some will pass through it crawling. Some will pass through it hanging, and the Fire will overtake part of him and leave part of him.

Regarding His saying, “Guide us to the Straight Path” (1:6), he said: Give us Your support by which we were able to obey You in our past days, so that we may obey You for the rest of our lives. The Straight Path are two paths: a path in this world and a path in the Hereafter. As for the Straight Path in this world, it is avoiding deviation and ascending from shortening (taqseer). As for the Path of the Hereafter, it is the believers’ path to Paradise. It is straight, and does not lead from Paradise to the Fire or anywhere else.

In Kitab al-Ihlilaja:

as-Sadiq ุนู„ูŠู‡ ุงู„ุณู„ุงู… said: As for anger, it is from us. When we become angry, our natures change, our joints tremble, and our colours change. Then, we come after that with the punishments; and this was called “anger”, and these are words known to the people. Anger is two things, one of which is in the heart. As for the meaning which is in the heart, it is separate from Allah ุฌู„ ุฌู„ุงู„ู‡; and it is the same with His pleasure, His discontent, and His mercy.

He said: “The Path of those whom You have blessed” (1:7) – this emphasizes the point about longing [for Allah], and it is a reminder of His blessing upon His friends, and longing [for Allah] in that blessing. “Not of those who have incurred Your anger” (1:7) – this is a seeking of refuge from becoming stubborn disbelievers who ignore His commands and His prohibitions. “Nor of those who have gone astray” (1:7) – this is a seeking of protection from becoming one who deviates from His way, who lacks cognizance, yet believes he is doing good.
