Virtues of Imam Zaman (verse 200 of Al-Imran) and Realizing of relationship between Quran and Mahdism
Verse:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Sura Al-e-emran, verse 200
Translation:
O faithful (persons)! Be patient (in religion) and enjoin each other to tolerance and resistance and be prone and watchful of enemies’ acts and be Godly; may you be redeemed and jubilant.
Sura Al-e-emran, verse 200
Explanation of the verse:
Thaghafi tehra’ni in first volume of Tafsir rava’n ja’vid has narrated from Majna-ol-baya’n fi tafsir-ol-Quran who narrated from Imam Bagher (AS) that: ((the meaning is that tolerate calamities and tolerate your enemies and be prepared for fight with them.)) and in Borha’n it is narrated from him (Imam Bagher (AS)) that he said: ((the meaning of it, is that tolerate obligatory (deeds) and tolerate your enemies and be prepared for advent of your Imam (AS) who you are waiting for.)) And in my mind, all of these other narrations and reports which is narrated about this issue, can be categorized as telling the instances that in terms of situations are told and the surface of the holy verse is: do tolerate in doing worships and quitting forbidden acts and afflicts and fighting with enemies and help each other in tolerance and tolerate beside each other and tolerate each other’s badness and be prepared for obeying the command of Imam (AS) to fight which prerequisite is believe. And also be prepared for ant good thing; whether it is prayer or comfort (after advent of Imam Zaman AJ) or some other issues. Because tolerance is absolutely admired and Muslims should join each other in intensities and calamities, and providing means and causes for any good thing before time of doing it, is rationally necessary. In volume 21 of Beha’r-ol-anva’r it is narrated from Imam Baqer (AS) about this verse that: ((tolerate in all all obligatory (deeds) and be firm in front of your enemies and defeat your waited for Imam (AS). In Noor-ol-thaghaleyn by Yaghoub sera’j it is narrated that Imam Sadeq (AS) stated: ((اصبروا (do tolerate) it means do tolerate and resist in harm in the way of us.)) I asked him about فصابروا. In response he stated: ((with your Vali amr (guardianship of matters) be firm against your enemies.)) and I asked about رابطوا. He stated: ((defeat your Imam AS)).
