سورة المرسلات

Imam Kazim (peace be upon him): Muhammad ibn Fudayl said: I said to Imam Kazim (peace be upon him): ... [regarding] the word of Allah the Mighty and Majestic: إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِینَ [Indeed the pious]. He said: 'By Allah! It is us and our Shia; no one other than us is upon the religion of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the rest of the people are free of it.'

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِینَ فِی ظِلَالٍ وَعُیُونٍ [Indeed the pious shall be amid shades and fountains] — shades of light, more radiant than the sun.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِینَ [Indeed the Allah-fearing] means those who abstain from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the major sins, and who possess taqwa (Allah-consciousness) and are wary. The foremost of all the Allah-fearing are Ali (peace be upon him), Hasan (peace be upon him) and Husayn (peace be upon him), who possess the lofty ranks of paradise and recline beneath the shade of the trees and tents made of pearl beside the clear-flowing springs.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِینَ فِی ظِلَالٍ وَعُیُونٍ [Indeed the Allah-fearing shall be amid shades and fountains] — those who abstained from sins are: Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) and Hasan and Husayn (peace be upon them), who are beneath the shade of the trees and in tents of pearl, each of which is one farsakh by one farsakh in breadth. Then he continues the hadith until he says: إِنَّا کَذَلِکَ نَجْزِی الْمُحْسِنینَ [Surely thus do We reward the doers of good] — that is, those who obey Allah, who are indeed the Ahl al-Bayt of Muhammad (peace be upon them), and their abode is in paradise.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): فِی ظِلَالٍ وَعُیُونٍ [amid shades and fountains] — these are shades of light.
