Surah Maryam Ayah 96: “Innal Lazeena A’amanu wa
AmelusSaleha’ate Sa’yajal lahur Rahmana Wudda” translated as: “Verily those who
believe and do righteous deeds, soon the Beneficent Allah will appoint love for
them.”
Faith and righteous deeds has a reflection as vast as the
world of existence, and the ray of love emerged from it can cover the whole
expansion of creation. Allah, the Pure Essence, loves such believing people.
They are beloved with all those who are in the skies. This affection will brighten
the hearts of men who are on the earth.
The one who only loves Allah will be heartily loved by
all people with the help of Allah. Similarly, one who remembers Allah,
Allah will have His favors showered upon him as mentioned in Surah
al-Baqarah Ayah 152 which reads: “therefore, remember Me and I shall remember
you. Thank Me and do not hide the truth about Me.”
The Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) said: “When Allah
loves one of His servants, He says to His Angel Jibra’eel , that He loves so
and so, and asks him to love that person. Jibra’eel loves him and then he calls
in the skies that Allah loves so and so, then do love him; and thereafter all
those in the skies love him. Then reflection of this love is reflected on the
earth.”
Similarly, Allah’s hatred is announced in the skies and
on the earth.
The above-mentioned tradition is recorded in many books
of traditions especially in “The Commentary Fi-Zalal “ volume 5 page 454 which
had been adopted from the major books of traditions like Sahih Muslim, Sahih
Bukhari and the book of Ahmad ibne Hambal.
Besides the Shiah books, the other books of traditions
and commentary reports that this Ayah was revealed favoring the Infallible
Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (a.s.) notably among them are the
following:
Zamakhshar
in Kashaf, Sebtayn al-Jauzi in Tathkira, Ganji Shafi’I, Qurtabi in his famous book,
M’ujab -ud-Din Tabari in Zakha’ir-ul-Uqba, Neyshaburi in his
well- known commentary book, Ibne Sabbaq Maliki in Fusul-ul-Muhimmah , Suyuti in Durr-ul-Manthur , Heythami in Sawa’igh-ul-Muhragha, and A’lusi in Rouh-al-Ma’ani
Some of such traditions are:
Tha’alabi in his book narrates from Bara’ ibne Azib: “The
Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) told Ali (a.s.) : “Say: O’ Allah! Appoint a
covenant for me with yourself, and set my love in the hearts of the believers.”
Then this Ayah was revealed. This statement exactly or with minor
difference was cited in many other books.
In many Islamic sources, it has been narrated by Ibne
Abbas, that the above-mentioned Ayah was revealed in regard to Ali ibne Abi
Talib (a.s.) ,which means that Allah appoints his love in the hearts of the
believers.(Ihghlaq-ul Hagh 3:83)
Muhammad ibne Hanafiya said: “There is no faithful
believer but here is love of Ali and his AhlalBayt in his heart.”
(Ihghlaq-ul-Hugh volume 3 page 83 to 86)
The Infallible Imam Ali (a.s.) said: “Even if I strike
the nose of a believer with this, my sword, for hating me, he will not hate me,
and even if I pile all the wealth of the world before a hypocrite in order that
he loves me, he will not love me. This is because it is verdict pronounced by
the tongue of the unschooled Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) as he said: ‘O’ Ali! A believer will never hate you and a hypocrite
will never love you.”(Nahjul Balagha saying 45, Rauh-ul-Ma’ani v 16 page 130,
Maj’ma-ul-Bayan volume 6 page 533)
In al-Kafi volume 1 page 131 and Tafsir-e-Furat page 247,
the Infallible Imam Ja’afar as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: “The love of Amir al-Momineen
Ali (a.s.) is a reward that Allah gives to the believers who has righteous
deeds .”
