سورة فصلت

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): صَرْصَراً means a cold wind, and أَیَّامٍ نَحِساتٍ means ill-omened and unlucky days.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): فَأَرْسَلْنا عَلَیْهِمْ ریحاً صَرْصَراً; that is, [We sent upon them] a violent wind which had a loud sound; [according to this meaning, صَرْصَرْ] is derived from صَرّة, meaning a loud cry. Some [namely Ibn Abbas and Qatadah] have also said: "That is, [We sent upon them] a cold, burning wind; (according to this meaning, صَرْصَرْ) is derived from صِرّ, meaning coldness and chill."

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Abu Basir said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): "What is meant by the chastisement of abasement in this world in the verse: عَذابَ الْخِزْیِ فِی الحَیاةِ الدُّنْیا و فی الآخرة?" He said: "O Abu Basir! What abasement is worse than that a man is sitting in his house with his wife, children and brothers, when suddenly his people tear their collars and raise up wailing, and people ask: what is this noise? They reply that so-and-so has just this moment been transformed and has been turned from human form." I said: "Is this matter before the coming of the Qa'im (may Allah hasten his noble relief) or after it?" He said: "Before it."

Imam Hasan (peace be upon him): [Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) addressing Mughirah said:] As for you, O Mughirah ibn Shu'bah! Truly you are an enemy of Allah, you are the one who denies the Quran, you are the one who calls the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) a liar, you are the fornicator; it is obligatory that the hadd of Allah be carried out upon you, for righteous witnesses have testified to your fornication, but your stoning was delayed and the truth was trampled by falsehood and truthfulness by deception. Such rights were lost so that the Almighty Allah might prepare for you a painful chastisement and the disgrace of this world, while indeed the disgrace of the chastisement of the hereafter is greater.
