٢٠٩. وَقَالَ (عليه السلام): لَتَعْطِفَنَّ الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْنَا بَعْدَ شِمَاسِهَا عَطْفَ الضَّرُوسِ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا. وَتَلَا عَقِيبَ ذَلِكَ: ﴿وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ الْوَارِثِينَ﴾.
209. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him said: The world will bend towards us after having been refractory as the biting she-camel bends towards its young. Then Amīr al-mu’minīn recited the verse: And intend We to bestow (Our) favour upon those who were considered weak in the land, and to make them the Imams (guides in faith), and to make them the heirs. (Qur’ān, 28:5) [1]
Footnote :
[1] This saying is about the awaited Imām who is the last of the series of Imāms. On his emergence all states and governments will come to an end, and the complete picture referred to in the verse will appear before the eyes.
Whoever wants to may rule in this world but in the end the rule will be in the hands of the descendants of ‘Alī (peace be upon them).
