17ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنَّ ناشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئاً وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلاً قَالَ يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلاً قِيَامَ الرَّجُلِ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ يُرِيدُ بِهِ الله لاَ يُرِيدُ بِهِ غَيْرَهُ.
17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “About the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘nightly initiation is of strong impression and of strongest words’ (73:7) abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, “‘strongest words” means a man’s getting up from his bed just for the sake of Allah and for no other considerations.’”
