سورة يونس

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): And whoever has wronged the household of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), at that time — meaning at the time of the Raj'ah (Return) [when he is present] — would offer everything upon the earth in full as ransom for his own deliverance.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): The wrongdoers, on the Day of Resurrection, when they behold the Wali (friend) of Allah, will conceal their regret within the Fire of Hell.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): وَ أَسَرُّوا النَّدامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذابَ [And they will manifest regret when they see the chastisement]. It was said: "O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! What benefit does concealing regret bring them while they are in the chastisement?" He said: "They dislike being subjected to the gloating of their enemies."

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): The worst regret is the regret on the Day of Resurrection.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): Imam Ali (peace be upon him) was asked about the different [and mutashabih (ambiguous)] meanings of qada (decree) [in the Quran]. He said: "Qada is of ten kinds, and their meanings differ from one another. One of them is qada in the sense of finishing a task; another in the sense of a covenant and pledge; another in the sense of proclaiming; another in the sense of performing; another in the sense of making obligatory; another in the sense of making certain; another in the sense of completing; another in the sense of judging; another in the sense of creating; and another in the sense of the descent of death... As for qada in the sense of judging, it is like this verse: 'And the matter is decided between the servants with truth, and it will [finally] be said: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.' (Zumar/75) — meaning judgement was rendered between them with truth; and also this verse: 'And Allah judges with truth, and those whom they invoke besides Him do not judge with anything. Indeed, Allah — He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.' (Ghafir/20); and likewise the verse: 'Allah judges based on truth. He is the best of separators [of truth from falsehood].' (An'am/57); and like a verse in Surah Yunus: وَ قُضِیَ بَیْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ [and the matter shall be decided between them with justice]."
