About the words of Allah ‘Leave them alone; you are not blamed’ (51:54)
1 hadithوَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُمَا قَالَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمَّا كَذَّبُوا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) هَمَّ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِهَلَاكِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلِيّاً فَمَا سِوَاهُ بِقَوْلِهِ فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَما أَنْتَ بِمَلُومٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ فَرَحِمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ ذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ الذِّكْرى تَنْفَعُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
78. And by this chain, from Abaan, from Abu Baseer, who has said: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام and Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام, that the two of them عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘When the people belied the Rasool صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Allah عز وجل, Allah عز وجل Blessed and High Decided to Destroy the people of the earth except for Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام and no one else by His عز وجل Statement: “[51:54] Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame”. Then Changed it for them so He عز وجل was Merciful to the Believers. Then He عز وجل Said to His عز وجل Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم: “[51:55] And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers”.
