67ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي السَّفَاتِجِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَقِيلَ هذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ قَالَ هَذِهِ نَزَلَتْ فِي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا مَا عَمِلُوا يَرَوْنَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي أَغْبَطِ الامَاكِنِ لَهُمْ فَيُسِي‏ءُ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ هذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ الَّذِي انْتَحَلْتُمِ اسْمَهُ.
67. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Jumhur from ’Isma‘il ibn Sahl from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwa from abu al-Safatij from Zurara from abu Ja‘far عليه السلام about the words of Allah, the Most High. “When they see the torment approaching, the faces of the unbelievers will blacken and they will be told, “This is what you wanted to (experience)” (67:27). The Imam عليه السلام said, “This was revealed about Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام and his contemporaries who did what they to him. They will see Amir al-Mu’minin عليه السلام in such a position that will make them envious. This will cause their faces to show miserable. It will be said to them, “This is the one whose title ‘Amir al-Mu’minin’ you had assumed.”
