The virtues of Imam Zaman in verse 54 of Surah Ma’idah

The virtues of Imam Zaman in verse 54 of Surah Ma’idah

O believers! Anyone of you who return from his/her religion, soon God will arouse a society who loves them a lot and they love God a lot and are humble  to believers and potent  to infidels, to Jihad (crusade) in the way of God  and do not fear of blames. This is the grace of God which blisses to anyone wants and God has infinite mercy and knows everyone’s conditions.

Seyyed Hashem bahrani in Al-borhan fi tafsir-ol-quran has written the mentioned verse points to the exchange law. It means exchanging a society instead of current one because the later has not fulfilled its responsibilities. Caliphate discarded messenger of God and neglected in Jihad(crusade) and also were careless in adjustment of God’s religion in society.

With referring to narrations we find out that Ahl-e bayt ( family and children of prophet Mohammad) interpreted this verse to companions of Imam Zaman(AJ). It means they are the ones who love God and  God loves them too. Soleyman-ibn-e haroon ejli said: I heared from Imam Sadegh(AS) that said verily Saheb amr (Imam Zaman AJ) is protected if all of the people of the world die, the almighty God will gather his companions. They are the ones who God has descended verse 54 of Maede sura about them.

There are different narrations about the cause of revelation of this verse, but most of them knew <<yoheboonahom va yoheboonah>> (they love him and he loves them) associated with conquest of Kheybar and consecutive hadith of Alam(flag) which messenger of God said: tomorrow I will give the flag to the one who God and his prophet loves him and he loves them. For example Thalabi who is one of sunni interpreters in his interpretation said this part of verse has descended about Imam Ali(AS). As the writer of Nahj-ol-bayan also narrated from Imam Bagher(AS) and Imam Sadegh(AS) said it was descended  about Imam Ali(AS) and in the interpretation of Ali-ibn-e ibrahim is written it was descended   about Qaem (Imam Zaman AJ) and his companions who Jihad (crusade) in the way of God. Tabarsi in Majma-ol-bayan fi tafsir-ol-quran and many of shia scholars also mentioned the cause of revelation of the verse as so.

But in sixth volume of Atyab-ol-tebyan Seyyed Abd-ol-hussain tayyeb has added a point and said in <<fasawfa>> from the <<fa>> we realize that after some time which they got apostate God will bring a society who have these features and it does not appertain to a special time and as it was observed, since the time of prophet Mohammad(PH)’s death until our time and perhaps even until the advent of Imam Mahdi(AJ) we know no society with mentioned features who fight with apostates other than Amir-ol-momenin(AS) who fought with Nakethin in Jamal war, with Qasetin in Sefeyn war and with Mareqin in Nahrovan war and his companions like Ammar, Malek ashtar and the like and other than Imam Mahdi(AJ) and his companions  at the time of his advent.
