وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ النَّصْرِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ كُفْراً قَالَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ نَقُولُ هُمُ الْأَفْجَرَانِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ وَ بَنُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هِيَ وَ اللَّهِ قُرَيْشٌ قَاطِبَةً إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَاطَبَ نَبِيَّهُ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ إِنِّي فَضَّلْتُ قُرَيْشاً عَلَى الْعَرَبِ وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ نِعْمَتِي وَ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولِي فَبَدَّلُوا نِعْمَتِي كُفْراً وَ أَحَلُّوا قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ.

Translation

77. And by this chain, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Al-Haris Al-Nasry who said: ‘I asked Abu Ja’far (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[14:28] Have you not seen those who have changed Allah’s favour for ungratefulness”, (Imam (asws)) asked: ‘What are you all saying about that?’ I said, ‘We are saying that these are the tyrants from the Qureish, the Clan of Umayya and the Clan of Al-Mugheira’. He (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), this is about the Qureish in its entirety. Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Addressed His (azwj) Prophet (saww), so He (azwj) Said: “I (azwj) Gave preference to the Qureish over the Arabs, and Completed upon them My (azwj) Favours, and Sent to the My (azwj) Rasool (saww), so they changed My (azwj) Favour by denial “[14:28] and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition”.
