243. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umayr Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said
I said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘The Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[8:39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah”, So he (asws) said: ‘The case to which this Verse applies has not come yet. The Rasool Allah (saww) allowed them (the non-Muslims) for his (saww) need and the needs of his (saww) companions. Had there come the case of its implementation, he (saww) would not have accepted from them, but they would not spare their lives until they would have accepted the Oneness of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic and until they would not have remained any Polytheism (Shirk)’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَ يَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَجِئْ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ بَعْدُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَ حَاجَةِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ تَأْوِيلُهَا لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ لَكِنَّهُمْ يُقْتَلُونَ حَتَّى يُوَحَّدَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ شِرْكٌ.
