Enlightening Points Deduced from the Holy Quran about Leadership with Divine Authority)

48ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مَنْ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ. وَما أَدْراكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ. فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ وَلايَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ.
48. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Jumhur from Yunus who has said the following “A person in a marfu‘ narrated to me from abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious. “Yet, he has not entered into Aqaba (90:11). Would that you knew what Aqaba is! (90:12). It is the setting free of a slave.” (90:13) The Imam عليه السلام said, “Setting free of a slave is acknowledgment of the Wilaya of Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام, Leadership with Divine Authority.”
