4 - أخبرني علي بن حاتم (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن سعيد الهمداني، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن عبد الله المحمدي، قال: حدثنا كثير بن عياش، عن أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، في قول الله عز وجل: (إنما وليكم الله ورسوله والذين ءامنوا) الآية، قال: إن رهطا من اليهود أسلموا، منهم: عبد الله بن سلام وأسد وثعلبة وابن يامين وابن صوريا، فأتوا النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقالوا: يا نبي الله، إن موسى (عليه السلام) أوصى إلى يوشع بن نون، فمن وصيك يا رسول الله، ومن ولينا بعدك؟ فنزلت هذه الآية: (إنما وليكم الله ورسوله والذين ءامنوا الذين يقيمون الصلاة ويؤتون الزكاة وهم راكعون) (2). ثم قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): قوموا. فقاموا فأتوا المسجد، فإذا سائل خارج، فقال: يا سائل، أما أعطاك أحد شيئا؟ قال: نعم، هذا الخاتم. قال: من أعطاك؟ قال: أعطانيه ذلك الرجل الذي يصلي. قال: على أي حال أعطاك؟ قال: كان راكعا. فكبر النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) وكبر أهل المسجد، فقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): علي بن أبي طالب وليكم بعدي، قالوا: رضينا بالله ربا، وبالاسلام دينا، وبمحمد نبيا، وبعلي بن أبي طالب وليا. فأنزل الله عز وجل: (ومن يتول الله ورسوله والذين ءامنوا فإن حزب الله هم الغالبون) (3). فروي عن عمر بن الخطاب أنه قال: والله لقد تصدقت بأربعين خاتما وأنا راكع، لينزل في ما نزل في علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) فما نزل (4).
`Ali b. Hatim (rh) informed me. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sa`id al-Hamadani narrated to us. He said: Ja`far b. `Abdullah al-Muhammadi narrated to us. He said: Kathir b. `Ayash narrated to us from Abi’l Jarud from Abi Ja`far (as). Regarding the saying of Allah, “Surely, your guardian is Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe …” (5:55), he said: A band of Jews had converted to Islam, among whom were `Abdullah b. Salam, Asad, Tha`laba, Ibn Yamin, and Ibn Suraya. They went to the Prophet (s) and said: “O Prophet of Allah! Surely, Musa (as) deputed Yusha` b. Nun, so who is your deputy O Messenger of Allah, and who is our guardian after you?” So, this verse was revealed, “Surely, your guardian is Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe – those who establish prayer and give zakat whilst they are bowing.” (5:55) Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) said: “Stand up.” So, they stood up and went to the Mosque, when a beggar went out. So, he said: “O beggar! Did anyone give you anything?” He said: “Yes, this ring.” He said: “Who gave to you?” He said: “The man that is praying gave it to me.” He said: “In what position did he give it to you?” He said: “While he was bowing.” So, the Prophet (s) did takbir, and the people of the Mosque did takbir. So, the Prophet (s) said: “`Ali b. Abi Talib is your guardian after me.” They said: “We are pleased with Allah as a Lord, with Islam as a religion, with Muhammad as a prophet, and with `Ali b. Abi Talib as a guardian.” So, Allah revealed, “Whoever aligns with Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe, then surely, the Party of Allah will prevail.” (5:56) It is reported from `Umar b. al-Khattab that he said: By Allah, I gave forty rings in charity whilst I was bowing so that a verse may be revealed about me in the same way that one was revealed about `Ali b. Abi Talib (as), but one was not revealed.
