Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq · The meaning of the Path
حدثنا أحمد بن علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أبي، عن جدي، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قول الله عز وجل: " اهدنا الصراط المستقيم) قال: هو أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام ومعرفته، والدليل على أنه أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام قوله عز وجل: " وإنه في أم الكتاب لدينا لعلي حكيم " وهو أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام في أم الكتاب في قوله عز وجل: " اهدنا الصراط المستقيم ".
3. We were told by Ahmad bin Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by my father, from my grandfather, from Hammad bin Isa, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, with regards to the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Guide us the Straight Path» (1:5). He said: It is the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, and conscious knowledge of him, and the proof that it is the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, is His saying, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And indeed, he is in the Foundation of the Book, for us, certainly, Ali, the wise.» (43:4) [1] And it is the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, in the Foundation of the Book, in His saying, Exalted and Glorious is He: «Guide us the Straight Path».
