سورة الشورى

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): خَاشِعِینَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ یَنْظُرُونَ مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِیٍّ [Humbled by abasement, they will look with a stealthy glance] — this is Hazrat Qaim (may Allah hasten his noble relief).

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): khafiyy (خفیّ) means dhalil (abased).

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): Allah says: وَ تَراهُمْ یُعْرَضُونَ عَلَیْها [And you will see them exposed to it]; that is, their souls are brought to the Fire; خاشِعِینَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ یَنْظُرُونَ [humbled by abasement, they look]; that is, they look at Ali (peace be upon him). مِنْ طَرْفٍ خَفِیٍّ [with a stealthy glance]; under-eyed. Those who believed — meaning those who believed in the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) — will say: إِنَّ الْخاسِرِینَ الَّذِینَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِیهِمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیامَةِ أَلا إِنَّ الظَّالِمِینَ [Indeed the losers are those who have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection; behold, indeed the wrongdoers] against the household of Muhammad (peace be upon them) are in a painful punishment.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): And you see the oppressors against the right of Muhammad and his household — when they see the punishment, and based on this vision Ali (peace be upon him) is himself their punishment, they say: is there any way of return, so that we may tread the path of accepting the wilayah of Ali (peace be upon him)... And you see them exposed to the Fire of Hell, their heads bowed in humiliation and abasement before Ali, and they look — that is, at Ali — with a lowered eye. And those who believed — that is, the household of Muhammad and their Shia — say: in truth, the losers are those who on the Day of Resurrection have made themselves and their people suffer loss; yes, the wrongdoers — that is, against the right of the family of Muhammad — will be in a lasting punishment. He said: by Allah, what is meant is the Nasibis who bore enmity to the household of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) and squandered the right of Amir al-Muminin (peace be upon him) and his descendants and wronged them — these are the very liars; and وَ ما کانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ أَوْلِیاءَ یَنْصُرُونَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ وَ مَنْ یُضْلِلِ اللهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ سَبِیلٍ [And they will have no protectors to help them besides Allah; and whomever Allah leaves to stray, there is no way for him].

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him): إِنَّ الْخاسِرینَ الَّذینَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلیهِمْ [Indeed the losers are those who have lost themselves and their families] — they have brought loss upon themselves and their families. And they cheated the capital of their own existence and their relatives on the Day of Resurrection! Be aware — this is the manifest loss! (Zumar/15).
