Hadith 517
۞
6. Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from al-husayn ibn ‘Ubadallah from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan and Musa ibn ‘umar from al-hassan ibn Mahbub from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl who has said that
he asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.) about the meaning of the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, in the following verse of the Holy Quran. “They want to put out the light of God with their mouths, but God will certainly make His light shine forever - even though the unbelievers may dislike this.” (61:8) The Imam (a.s.) said, “They want to put out the divine authority of Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) with their mouths. ‘but Allah completes His light’ means the Imams (a.s.) as mentioned in, “Those who believe in him, honor and help him, and follow the light which is sent down to him, will have everlasting happiness.” (7:157) The light stands for Imam (a.s.).”
6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ الله عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَمُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِؤُا نُورَ الله بِأَفْواهِهِمْ قَالَ يُرِيدُونَ لِيُطْفِئُوا وَلايَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى وَالله مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ قَالَ يَقُولُ وَالله مُتِمُّ الامَامَةِ وَالامَامَةُ هِيَ النُّورُ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَآمِنُوا بِالله وَرَسُولِهِ وَالنُّورِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْنا قَالَ النُّورُ هُوَ الامَامُ.
