Hadith 363
۞
11. Some of our people have narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abdallah from ‘Abdal Wahhab ibn Bishr from Musa ibn Qadim from Sulayman from Zurara from abu Ja‘far (a.s.) who has said the following.
“I asked the Imam about the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, “They (children of Israel) did not wrong Us but they wronged themselves.” (2:57) The Imam said, “Allah is far Great and Majestic and Mighty above being wronged. But He has mixed us with His Own-self. He has considered the wrong done to us as being done to Him and His Own authority as our authority as He has said, “Only God, His Messenger, and the true believers who are steadfast in prayer and pay alms, while they kneel during prayer, are your guardians” (5:55). It means the Imams from us. Allah has also said, “They (children of Israel) did not wrong Us but wronged themselves. (2:57)” Then he mentioned a similar statement.”
11ـ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ قَادِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَما ظَلَمُونا وَلكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ قَالَ إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى أَعْظَمُ وَأَعَزُّ وَأَجَلُّ وَأَمْنَعُ مِنْ أَنْ يُظْلَمَ وَلَكِنَّهُ خَلَطَنَا بِنَفْسِهِ فَجَعَلَ ظُلْمَنَا ظُلْمَهُ وَوَلايَتَنَا وَلايَتَهُ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يَعْنِي الائِمَّةَ مِنَّا ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ وَما ظَلَمُونا وَلكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ.
