Hadith 137
۞
2. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Marwan bin Muslim, from Abu Baseer, that he said
I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Indeed, We presented the trust upon the Heavens, the earth and the mountains, but they refused to carry it and feared it, and it was carried by the human being. He is, indeed, wrong-doing, ignorant.» (33:72) He said: The trust is the Divine Authority, and the human being is the one of evils, the hypocrite.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن مروان بن مسلم، عن أبي بصير، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: " إنا عرضنا الأمانة على السماوات والأرض والجبال فأبين أن يحملنها وأشفقن منها وحملها الانسان إنه كان ظلوما جهولا " قال: الأمانة: الولاية، والانسان: أبو الشرور المنافق.
