About the words of Allah ‘to ALlah belongs the kingdom’ (3:26)
1 hadithعَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سَمَّاكٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى مَوْلَى آلِ سَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَ تَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشاءُ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ آتَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ الْمُلْكَ قَالَ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آتَانَا الْمُلْكَ وَ أَخَذَتْهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ الثَّوْبُ فَيَأْخُذُهُ الْآخَرُ فَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِلَّذِي أَخَذَهُ.
389. From him, from Ibrahim bin Abu Bakr Bin Abu Sammaak, from Dawood Bin Farqad, from Abdul A’ala the slave of the progeny of Saam, who has said: I asked from Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام (about): “[3:26] Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! You give the kingdom to whomsoever You please to and take away the kingdom from whomsoever You please to”. Has not Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic Given the kingdom to the Clan of Umayya?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said; ‘This is not as, where you are going with it. Allah عز وجل Gave us عليه الصلاة والسلام the kingdom and the Clan of Umayya took it away, like the man who has his clothes and another one takes it away from him, so it still does not belong to the one who took it (unlawfully)’.
