سورة النجم

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says: the meaning of the verse هَذَا نَذِیرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الأُولی [This is a warner of the warners of old] is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), who is one of the first warners.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Ali ibn Mu'ammar narrates from his father that he said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about the verse: هَذَا نَذِیرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الأُولی [This is a warner of the warners of old]. He said: 'When Allah created the creatures in the form of the primordial particles (dharr), He set them in ranks and sent Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) as a prophet. A group believed in him and another group denied him. Then Allah the Mighty and Majestic said: هَذَا نَذِیرٌ مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الأُولی — by which He meant Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), who called the creatures, in their primordial particle state, to the worship of Allah the Mighty and Majestic.'
