سورة ابراهيم

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Allah set forth a parable for the enemies of the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and said: وَ مَثَلُ کَلِمَةٍ خَبِیثَةٍ کَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِیثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْأَرْضِ ما لَها مِنْ قَرارٍ [And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability].

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): This is a parable which the Exalted Lord set forth concerning the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and concerning those who bore enmity toward the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them). He said: وَ مَثلُ کَلِمَةٍ خَبِیثَةٍ کَشَجَرَةٍ خَبِیثَةٍ اجْتُثَّتْ مِن فَوْقِ الأَرْضِ مَا لَهَا مِن قَرَارٍ [And the parable of an evil word is as an evil tree pulled up from the earth's surface; it has no stability].

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): This verse is a parable for the Banu Umayyah. اجْتُثَّتْ; that is, the trunk of that tree has been uprooted and separated from the ground. ما لَها مِنْ قَرارٍ; that is, that tree does not remain stable, and the wind uproots it and carries it away.

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): The deeds of the disbelievers do not ascend to the sky, and the Umayyads — except for a few of them — do not remember Allah in any gathering or in any mosque, and their deeds do not ascend to the sky.
