Sura Shams, verse 3
Explanation of the verse:
Seyyed abd-ol-husayn tayeb in volume 18 of Atyab-o-tebyan has written about this verse that it means sunshine until sunset. In those very reports نهار (Day) is interpreted to Imams (AS) and its manifestation is in appearing of Imam Zaman (AJ) and the Imams’ recrudescence era; who will eliminate and eradicate the darkness of infidelity, polytheism, straying, corruption, oppression and debauchery completely until the time which is near the judgmental day when this world will be ended.
In 8th volume of Kafi, volume 24 of Behar-ol-anvar, second volume of Tafsir-el-Qomi and first volume of Al-manaqeb it is narrated from Abou mohammad that: I asked from Imam Sadeq (AS): ((what is the meaning of “والنهار اذا جلاها”)) he stated: ((its meaning is the rightful Imam AS) who is from decadence of Lady Fateme (SA). He will be asked about the religion of Prophet Muhammad (PH) and he will make it clear for the one who asked it. God tells about his (the Imam’s) speech and stated: ((والنهار اذا جلاها)) (By the Day as it shows up [the Sun’s] glory.)
Moreover, Estarabadi in Tavil-ol-ayat-o-zahera, has narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) that he stated: ((والنهار اذا جلاها)) (By the Day as it shows up [the Sun’s] glory.); its meaning is Qaem (AJ) from Al-e-Muhammad (PH) (family of Prophet Muhammad (PH).)) this narration is written in volume 18 of Ahl-e-bayt interpretation too.
In volume 24 and volume 53 of Behar-ol-anvar and also in Forat koufi interpretation it is written that Hareth a’var told to Imam Hussain (AS): ((may I be sacrificed for you! O the son of Prophet of God! Please elaborate about “والشمس و ضحاها” (Shams, or the Sun).)) He stated: ((woe to you Hareth! The meaning of sun is Prophet Muhammad (PH) and the meaning of moon is Imam Ali (AS) who comes after Prophet (PH) and the meaning of day, is Qaem (AJ) from Al-e-Muhammad (PH) (family of Prophet Muhammad PH) which will make the earth full of justice.))
Moreover, there is a narrateion from Prophet Muhammad (PH) that he stated: ((والنهار اذا جلاها)) (By the Day as it shows up [the Sun’s] glory.) means the Imams (AS) from us, Ahl-e-bayt (the family of Prophet Muhammad PH; including Imam Ali (AS), Lady Fateme (SA), Imam Hasan (AS) and Imam Hussain (AS).) who will inherit the earth in the end of the world and will make it full of justice. Their helper is the helper of Moses (AS) against Pharaoh and helper (to enemies) against Ahl-e-bayt (the family of Prophet Muhammad PH; including Imam Ali (AS), Lady Fateme (SA), Imam Hasan (AS) and Imam Hussain (AS).) is the helper of Pharaoh against Moses (AS).))
