About the words of Allah ‘...do you think providing water for al-Hajj...’ (9:19)
1 hadithأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ نَزَلَتْ فِي حَمْزَةَ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ شَيْبَةَ إِنَّهُمْ فَخَرُوا بِالسِّقَايَةِ وَ الْحِجَابَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ وَ حَمْزَةُ وَ جَعْفَرٌ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ.
245. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwaan Bin yahya, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, who has said: One of them عليه الصلاة والسلام regarding the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Hamza عليه السلام, and Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام, and Ja’far عليه السلام, and Al-Abbas عليه السلام, and Shaeba. They prided themselves for quenching (the thirst) of the Pilgrims. So Allah عز وجل Majestic and Mighty Revealed “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”, and it was Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام, and Hamza عليه السلام, and Ja’far عليه السلام, may greeting be upon them عليه السلام are the ones who عليه السلام believed in Allah عز وجل and the Last Day, and they عليه السلام fought in the Way of Allah عز وجل, and (others) are not equal to them عليه السلام in the Presence of Allah عز وجل’.
