سورة الانسان

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): I adjure you by Allah, is there anyone among you other than me concerning whom and whose children Allah revealed: إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ یَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ کَأْسٍ کانَ مِزاجُها کافُوراً [Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor]? They said: "No."

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): Maslama ibn Khalid narrates from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) from his father (peace be upon him) that he said: The noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) rose in haste and came to the house of Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) and Fatima (peace be upon her), and when he saw that state, he wept and said: "You have been in this condition for three days and I was unaware of your state." Then Jibra'il descended with these verses: إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ یَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ کَأْسٍ کانَ مِزاجُها کافُوراً عَیْناً یَشْرَبُ بِها عِبادُ اللهِ یُفَجِّرُونَها تَفْجِیراً [Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor, a fountain from which the servants of Allah shall drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly]. This spring is in the house of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), from which it gushes and flows toward the houses of the prophets (peace be upon them) and the believers."

Imam Hasan (peace be upon him): Whatever occurs in the noble Quran with the wording إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ [Indeed the righteous], by Allah! none other than Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima and myself and Husayn (peace be upon them) is intended. For we are the pure and righteous ones in respect of our fathers and mothers, and our hearts are devoted to the obedience of Allah and to righteousness, and are averse to the world and love of it, and we have obeyed Allah in all His obligations and duties, and we believe in His oneness and have affirmed His Messenger.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ یَشْرَبُونَ [Surely the righteous shall drink] — [what is meant by] al-Abrar are those who were steadfast in their faith: Ali and Fatima and Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them); they will drink from a cup of wine in the hereafter.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): The meaning of إِنَّ الْأَبْرَارَ یَشْرَبُونَ مِن کَأْسٍ کَانَ مِزَاجُهَا کَافُورًا [Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor] is its coolness and pleasantness, because camphor is in it.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ یَشْرَبُونَ مِن کَأْسٍ کَانَ مِزَاجُهَا کَافُورًا ... إِنَّ هذا کانَ لَکُمْ جَزاءً و کانَ سَعْیُکُمْ مَشْکُوراً [Surely the righteous shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor ... Surely this is a reward for you, and your striving has been appreciated] was revealed concerning Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them) and their maidservant named Fidda.
