The Thematic Commentary On The Holy Quran - و لقد وصلنا لهم القول لعلهم يتذكرون

وَ لَقَدْ وَصَّلْنا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ الکاظم (علیه السلام)- عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (علیه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ وَصَّلْنا لَهُمُ الْقَوْلَ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَذَکَّرُونَ قَالَ إِمَامٌ إِلَی إِمَامٍ. Ibne Babawayh has, in Fazailush Shia, quoted Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that: People forgot the Holy Prophets (S) order in favor of Ali (a.s.) on the day of Ghadeer Khum just as the Holy Prophet (S) had said in favor of Ali (a.s.) in the room of Ibrahims mother when people were visiting him (prophet) during his illness. Ali (a.s.) also had arrived and he wanted to sit near the Holy Prophet (S) but he could not get space. When the Holy Prophet (S) saw that people did not give room to Ali (a.s.) he said: O people! He is my Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). So do not decrease their honour. At present I am living among you. If I go out of your sight, Allah will not go away from you. Do remember that ease and comfort and happiness and good tidings and love is for the one who follows Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) and who believes in his Imamate and who after him follows his successors. It will be incumbent on me to include in my intercession those who follow them because in fact they will be following me and the one who follows me is from me and this is the example which has been given in the case of Ibrahim (a.s.): فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَمَنْ عَصَانِي فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ. Then whoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeys me, Thou surely are Forgiving, Merciful: (Surah Ibrahim 14:36) Because I am from Ibrahim (a.s.) and Ibrahim is from me. My Religion is his Religion and my Sunnah is his Sunnah and my grace is his grace and I am more graceful than him and my grace is his grace according to the testification of my Lord as His Words convey: إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى آدَمَ وَنُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ. Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations. (Surah Ale-Imran 3:33)
