Ibn Babuwayh, by his chain, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated :

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘One who recited: Indeed, We Gave you Al-Kausar [108:1] (Surah
Al-Kausar) in his Obligatory (Salats) and his optional Salats, Allahazwj will Quench (his thirst)
from: Al-Kausar [108:1] on the Day of Judgement, and he will be discussing in the presence
of the Rasool-Allahsaww at the roots of Tooba (tree).’1

‫ و‬،‫ «من قرأ هذه السورة سقاه اهلل تعاىل من هنر الكوثر‬:‫ أنه قال‬،)‫ روي عن النيب (صلى اهلل عليه و آله‬:)‫و من (خواص القرآن‬
،‫من ك هنر يف اجلنة و كتب له عشر حسنات بعدد ك من قرب قربانا من الناس يوم النحر‬

And from (the book) Khawas Al Quran –

‘It is reported from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘One who recites this Surah (Al-Kausar),
Allahazwj the Exalted would Quench him from the river: Al-Kausar [108:1], and from every
river in the Paradise, and Write for him Rewards of the number of every one from the
people who offered a sacrifice on the day of the sacrifice (10 th Zilhajj).

.»‫ ال يتمث بغريه من الناس إال كما يراه‬،‫و من قرأها ليلة اجلمعة مائة مرة رأ ى النيب (صلى اهلل عليه و آله) يف منامه رأي العني‬

And one who recites it (Surah Al-Kausar) on the night of the Friday one hundred times,
would see the Prophetsaww in his dream, seeing with the eyes, not a resemblance of other
than himsaww from the people, but, just as he sees himsaww’’.2

Then Amro said, ‘And I am man adversary of Muhammad saww, i.e. hate him saww. So, Allahazwj
Revealed unto Hisazwj Rasool saww: Surely your adversary, he is the one without posterity
[108:3] – i.e. your saww hater, Amro Bin Al Aas, he is the one without posterity [108:3] –
meaning there is neither any religion for him nor lineage’’. 17

In the book Al-Ihtijaj Al-Tabarsy, who has said:

‘Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws, a lengthy Hadeeth in which heasws has said: ‘And as for you, O Amr
Bin Al-Aas, the enemy, the accursed, the one without posterity, for you are a dog from your
first affair. Your mother gave birth to you on a joint bed. The men of Quraysh made claims
regarding you, among whom were Abu Sufyan Bin Harb, and Al-Waleed Bin Mugheira, and
Usmaan Bin Al-Haaris, and Al-Nasr Bin Al-Haaris Bin Qalada, each one of them thought that
you were his son.

‫ وقال العاص‬،‫ ُث قمت خطيبا وقلت انا شانئ حممد‬،‫فغلبهم عليك من بني قريش االمهم حسبا واخبثهم منصبا واعظمهم بغية‬
،‫ فلو قد مات انقطع ذكره‬،‫ ان حممد رج ابرت ال ولد له‬: ‫وائ‬

So he overcame upon you from among Quraysh, the most illiterate one in rank, and the
most wicked one in lineage, and the greatest of them in immorality. Then you stood to
address, and you said, ‘I am an adversary of Muhammad saww!’, and (your father) Al Aas Al
Waily said, ‘Muhammadsaww is a man without posterity, and if hesaww were to die, hissaww
mention would be cut off’.

‫ تأتيهم يف دورهم ورحاهلم وبطون‬،‫ ان شأنك هو االبرت وكانت امك متشى إىل عبد قيس تطلب البغية‬:‫فأنزل اهلل تبارك وتعاىل‬
.‫اوديتهم‬

So Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed: Surely your adversary, he is the one without
posterity [108:3], and it was so that your mother walked to (clan of) Abd Qays seeking the
immorality, coming to them in their houses, and their rides, and middle of their valleys’’.18

Amr Bin Al-Aas – one of the most evil from the latter ones

‫ شر‬:‫يف كتاب اخلصال فقال أبو ذر رِحه اهلل أنا أحدثكم حبديث ْسعتموه ألستم تشهدون ان رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله قال‬

witnessed that Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The most evil of the former ones and the later ones
are twelve, six are from the former ones and six from the later ones’?

‫ وقاروهنا وهو سعيد‬،‫ وهامان هذه االمة زياد‬،‫ واما الستة من االخرين فالعج وهو نعث وفرعون وهو معاوية‬:‫إىل أن قال‬
‫ واالبرت وهو عمرو بن‬،‫والسام ري وهو أبو موسى عبد اهلل بن قيس النه قال كما قال سامرى قوم موسى " المساس " أي ال قتال‬

To the extent that hesaww said: ‘As for the six from the later ones, so it is the calf, and he is
Na’sal (Umar), and Pharaohla, and he is Muawiya, and Haman of this community is Ziyad,
and its Qaroun, and he is Saeed, and Al-Samiri, and he is Abu Musa Abdullah Bin Qays (Al-

Sermon of Amro Bin Al-Aas against Amir-Al-Momineenasws

‫ بعثِن رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه‬:‫ بلغ أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم أن عمرو بن العاص خطب الناس بالشام فقال‬:‫أبان عن سليم قال‬
‫ أي الناس أحب إليك؟‬،‫ يا رسول اهلل‬:‫ فلما قدمت قلت‬.‫ فظننت أنه إمنا بعثِن لكراميت عليه‬،‫وآله على جيشه فيه أبو بكر وعمر‬
.)‫ (أبوها‬:‫ ومن الرجال؟ قال‬:‫ قلت‬.)‫ (عائشة‬:‫فقال‬

Abaan from Sulaym who said,

‘It reached Amir-al-Momineenasws that Amro Bin Al-Aas preached to the people in Syria
saying, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww sent me to hissaww army in which were Abu Bakr and Umar, so I
thought that hesaww had not sent me but to honour them. When I went to him saww, I said, ‘O
Rasool Allahsaww, who is the most beloved of the people to yousaww?’ Hesaww said, ‘Ayesha’. I
said, ‘And who from the men?’ Hesaww said, ‘Her father’.

‫ (إن اهلل ِضرب باْلق‬:‫ وقد ْسعت رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله يقول‬،‫ وهذا علي يطعن على أيب بكر وعمر وعثمان‬،‫أيها الناس‬
)‫ (إن املالئكة لتستحي من عثمان‬:‫على لسان عمر وقلبه) وقال يف عثمان‬

O you people! And this Aliasws who is denouncing Abu Bakr and Umar and Usman, and I have
heard Rasool Allahsaww say that: ‘Allahazwj had Struck the heart and tongue of Umar with the
truth’, and hesaww said with regards to Usman that: ‘The Angels are embarrassed by Usman’.

،‫ (يا علي‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ إن نيب اهلل نظر إىل أيب بكر وعمر مقبلني‬:‫ يروي على عهد عمر‬- ‫ يعِن أذنيه‬- ‫وقد ْسعت عليا وإال فصمتا‬
)‫ وال َتدثهما بذلك فيهلكا‬،‫هذان سيدا كهول أه اجلنة من األولني واآلخرين ما خال النبيني منهم واملرسلني‬

And I have heard Aliasws, and except for my silence’ – meaning his deafness – ‘narrated (to
me) during the era of Umar that the Prophetsaww looked at Abu Bakr and Umar coming over,
so hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws, These two are the Chiefs of the elderly inhabitants of Paradise,
from the former ones and the latter ones, except for the Prophetsas among them and the
Rasoolsas, and do not narrate that to both of them (Abu Bakr and Umar), for they would be
destroyed’.

Sermon of Amir Al-Momineenasws in response

‫ العجب لطغاة أه الشام حيث يقبلون قول عمرو ويصدقونه وقد بلغ من حديثه وكذبه وقلة ورعه‬:‫فقام علي عليه السالم فقال‬
‫ وذلك أنه هجا‬،‫ وقد لعنه سبعني لعنة ولعن صاحبه الذي يدعو إليه يف غري موون‬،‫أن يكذب على رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله‬
،‫رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله بقصيدة سبعني بيتا‬

Aliasws arose and said: ‘The strangeness of the tyrants of the people of Syria for accepting the
words of Amro and ratifying him, and it has reached from his narration, and his lies, and I asws

say that he is forging lies against Rasool Allahsaww who has cursed him with seventy curses,
and cursed his companion who called to him in another place, and that he had ridiculed
Rasool Allahsaww by poems in seventy verses.

‫ فالعنه أنت ومالئكتك بك بيت لعنة ترتى على عقبه‬،‫ (اللهم إين ال أقول الشعر وال أحله‬:‫فقال رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله‬
.)‫إىل يوم القيامة‬

So Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj, Isaww do not speak poetry nor do Isaww consider it to be
permissible, therefore Youazwj and Yourazwj Angels, Send Curses for each of those verses (he
fabricated) and upon his descendents up to the Day of Judgement!’

‫ وإين ألشنأ الناس له وأقوهلم‬،‫ إن حممدا قد صار أبرت ال عقب له‬:‫ُث ملا مات إبراهيم بن رسول اهلل صلى اهلل عليه وآله قام فقال‬
‫فيه سوء‬

Then, when Ibrahimasws, the sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww passed away, he stood up and
said that, ‘Muhammadsaww has become ‘Abtar’, there is no posterity to himsaww, and I am the
most adversarial of the people to himsaww and speaker of the most evil of the words
regarding himsaww’.

.‫ يعِن أبرت من اإلميان ومن ك خري‬،)‫ (إن شانئك هو األبرت‬:‫فأنزل اهلل فيه‬

So Allahazwj Revealed regarding him: Surely your adversary, he is the one without posterity
[108:3] – meaning cut-off from the Eman and from every goodness’.

.‫لكأين بالقراء الضعفة اجملتهدين قد رووا حديثه وصدقوه فيه واحتجوا علينا أه البيت بكذبه‬

But, weak preachers and the Mujtahids have reported his Hadeeth and have ratified him
with regards to it, and are using these to argue against us asws - the Peopleasws of the
Household with his lies.

.‫ خري هذه األمة أبو بكر وعمر؟ ولو شئت لسميت الثالث‬:‫إنا نقول‬

Have Iasws ever said that Abu Bakr and Umar are the best ones of this community?’ If I asws
had done so Iasws would have also named the third one.

.‫واهلل ما أراد بقوله يف عائشة وأبيها إال رِضا معاوية ولقد اسرتِضاه بسخط اهلل‬

By Allahazwj, what are they intending by his words with regards to Ayesha and her father
except to please Muawiya, and their pleasing him is (at the expense of the) Angering
Allahazwj.

‫ فال والذي فلق اْلبة وبرأ النسمة ليعلم أنه كذب علي يقينا وأن اهلل مل يسمعه مِن سرا وال‬،‫وأما حديثه الذي يزعم أنه ْسعه مِن‬
.‫جهرا‬

13 out of 18
Tafseer Hub-e-Aliasws www.hubeali.com

But rather, the Hadeeth which they are alleging that he has heard from me asws, it is not so.
By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person, he certainly knows that he is lying
against measws, and that Allahazwj has never Heard it from measws, neither secretly nor openly.

.‫اللهم العن عمرا والعن معاوية بصدمها عن سبيلك وكذهبما على كتابك ونبيك واستخفافهما بنبيك وكذهبما عليه وعلي‬

O Allahazwj! Curse Amro and Curse Muawiya for straying from Yourazwj Way, and their lying
against Yourazwj Book, and Yourazwj Prophetsaww, and their contempt of himsaww and lying
against himsaww and measws’.21

The Altered Verses

Abu Dawood, from a man, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: Indeed, We Gave you, O Muhammad, Al-Kausar [108:1] Therefore
pray Salat to your Lord and be moderate [108:2] Surely your adversary, Amro Bin Al Aas,
he is the one without posterity [108:3], and that was when Ibrahimasws died, Amrola said,
‘This morning Muhammadsaww has become Al-Abtar as a punishment to himsaww. This Surah
was Revealed unto himsaww.’22

Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from his father, from Saeed Bin Abdullah Bin Musa, from Muhammad

Heazwj has Given me the totality of speech (The Quran) and Given to Ali asws the totality of the
Knowledge, and has Made mesaww a Prophet and Made himasws a successor, and Gave
mesaww Al-Kausar and Gave him Al-Salsabeel, ((Of) a Fountain therein named as Salsabeel

to Himazwj (Me’raaj) and Opened for himasws the Gateways of the sky and the Veil until heasws
looked at mesaww and Isaww looked at himasws.’

‫ ما يبكيك فداك أيب و أمي؟‬:‫ فقلت له‬،)‫ ُث بكى رسول اهلل (صلى اهلل عليه و آله‬:‫قال‬

He said, ‘Then Rasool-Allahsaww wept, so I said to him. ‘What makes yousaww cry, may my
father and my mother be sacrificed for yousaww?’

‫ و إىل أبواب السماء قد‬،‫ فنظرت إىل اْلجب قد اخنرقت‬،‫ انظر َتتك‬،‫ يا حممد‬:‫ إن أول ما كلمِن به أن قال‬،‫ «يا بن عباس‬:‫قال‬

Hesaww said: ‘O Ibn Abbas, it was the first thing that was said to me saww, which was: ‘O
Muhammadsaww! Look under yousaww.’ Isaww looked towards the Veil which was breached,
and towards the Gateways of the sky which were open, and looked at Ali asws and heasws had
raised hisasws head towards mesaww. Heasws spoke to mesaww, and Isaww spoke to himasws, and
Mysaww Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Spoke to mesaww’.

as yoursaww Vizier, and as yoursaww Caliph after yousaww, for Iazwj have let himasws know about

Allahazwj Commanded the Angels: “Greet himsaww.’ They did it. Isaww returned their greeting,

He said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! There is none from the Angels except that he is looking at the
face of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, getting glad tidings with it, except for the bearers of the
Throne. They had asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for the time. Heazwj Permitted them to
look at Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. They looked at himasws. When they got down, they brought

Ibn Abbas said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, advise me.’ Hesaww said: ‘It is for you to have affection

Allahazwj will not Accept from the servant any good deed until Heazwj Questions him about

O Ibn Abbas, by the One Whoazwj Sent me with the Truth as a Prophet, the Fire will be more

‫ و أرض به‬،‫ و م معه حيث مال‬،‫ فاسئلك وريقة علي بن أيب والب‬،‫ إذا أردت أن تلقى اهلل و هو عنك راض‬،‫يا بن عباس‬
.‫ و وال من وااله‬،‫ و عاد من عاداه‬،‫إماما‬

O Ibn Abbas, if you intend to be Received by Allah azwj and Heazwj to be Pleased with you,
travel on the way of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and be with himasws wherever heasws is, and
attend to himasws as being an Imamasws, and be an enemy to those who are hisasws enemies,
and be a friend to those who are hisasws friends.

.» ‫ فإن الشك يف علي كفر باهلل عز و ج‬،‫ احذر أن يدخلك شك فيه‬،‫يا بن عباس‬

O Ibn Abbas, be careful not to let doubt enter into you about himasws, for the doubt
regarding Aliasws is Kufr with Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.’23
