The Thematic Commentary On The Holy Quran - How To Love Ahlulbayt A.S.? - P 01

If one engages in worship for a thousand years between Safa and Marwah until one breaks down, but without our love and affection in his heart, Allah will hurl one into Hell, face down. Then he recited this verse: قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives. (Sura Shuraa 42:23) Zaadaan has narrated from Amirul Momineen (a.s.) that in the Ha Mim Surahs there is a verse which calls for our Mawaddat (love) which only every believer remember. Then he recited this verse. Shaykh Tabarsi said in anyway there are two statements regarding this Mawaddat. The first is that the exception (illa) is disconnected; meaning this Mawaddat is because of Islam. Another statement is that the exception is continual which means I require no wages from you except Mawaddat because I am happy only with it and only you will be benefited by this Mawaddat. In others words, I have not wished from you any wages for myself. Abu Hamza Thumali has, in his commentary narrated from Ibne Abbas that when the Holy Prophet (S) arrived in Medina and Islam was established firmly and when the Ansars jointly decided to see the Holy Prophet (S) to tell him that: As your expenses are on the increase we are putting our wealth at your disposal so that you may utilize it as you please. You will not have to keep any account of it nor is there any restriction for you. When they put forth this proposal respectfully, this verse was revealed to the Holy Prophet (S): Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives. (Sura Shuraa 42:23) The Holy Prophet (S) read it out to them and said: You should, after my departure be friendly, that is not inimical with these people nor should you harm or harass them. Then they returned from the Holy Prophet (S) giving him a promise of obedience. At that time the hypocrites said: Muhammad has fabricated this verse because he wants to degrade us by making us obey his near relatives. At that moment came this Verse: أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَإِنْ يَشَأْ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَى قَلْبِكَ وَيَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْبَاطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ. Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? But if Allah pleased, He would seal your heart; and Allah will blot out the falsehood and confirm the truth with His words; surely He is Cognizant of what is in the breasts. (Sura Shuraa 42:24)
