The Thematic Commentary On The Holy Quran - How To Love Our Relatives ? - P 01

Likewise with reliable chains of narrators Imam Sadiq (a.s.) is quoted that he has, while explaining the Divine verse: وَأَنْتَ حِلٌّ بِهَذَا الْبَلَدِ. وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ. And you shall be made free from obligation in this city. And the begetter and whom he begot. (Sura Balad 90:2-3) Imam (a.s.) said that the ‘two begetters’ means the Holy Prophet (S) and Imam Ali (a.s.) and ‘whom he begot’ denotes the children of Imam Ali (a.s.). In Kafi, according to reliable chains of narrators, Asbagh bin Nubatah is reported to have asked Amirul Momineen (a.s.) about the Tafsir of the verse: أَنْ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ. Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming.(Sura Luqman 31:14) He replied that the parents who must be thanked according to Allah’s order are the fathers from whom knowledge is born and from whom wisdom is obtained as heritage and whose obedience has been made obligatory for the people. Thereafter Allah has said ‘the return of the servants is towards Me’ and the basis of this explanation is the word parents. Then Ali (a.s.) turned the direction of the word towards the first and the second, and said: وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي… And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me… (Sura Luqman:15) Meaning: ‘If they dispute with you to adopt polytheism, that is, to include others in the legateeship ordered by Allah to make your legatee, that is, Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) then O Prophet (S)! You should not do so and you should not hear them. Then the Hazrat turned the statement towards the parents and said: ‘Make people aware of his grace and order them to obey him.’ This is the meaning of Allah’s command: وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ. And follow the way of him who turns to Me. (Sura Luqman 31:15) And then the Hazrat said: Fear Allah and do not oppose and disobey parents because their pleasure is the cause of Allah’s pleasure and their anger is the reason of Allah’s anger.1 In Tafsir Furat, Imam Ja’far (a.s.) is quoted in the explanation of the verse: وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَبِذِي الْقُرْبَى. And serve Allah and do not associate any thing with Him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin. (Sura Nisa 4:36) Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said that the Holy Prophet and Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) are two fathers and ‘the near of kin’ denotes Hasan and Husain (a.s.). In the Tafsir of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.), while explaining the divine words: لَا تَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا وَذِي الْقُرْبَى. You shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin. (Sura Baqara 2:83) The Holy Prophet (S) said: Your best parents and those who are most entitled to get good and thanks from you are Muhammad (S) and Ali (a.s.).
