Imam al-Askari (AS) said in his explanation of the basmala, ‘Allah is the one whom all creation deify when they are in need or in difficulty or when all their hopes have been severed from all except Him, and when their means of attainment have been cut off from all except Him.
الإمامُ العسكريُّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في تفسيرِ البَسْملَةِ ـ : اللّهُ هُو الّذي يَتألَّهُ إلَيهِ عِندَ الحَوائجِ والشَّدائدِ كُلُّ مَخْلوقٍ عِندَ انْقِطاعِ الرَّجاءِ مِن كُلِّ مَن هُوَ دُونَهُ ، وتَقَطُّعِ الأسْبابِ مِن جَميعِ مَن سِواهُ.
