سورة النبإ

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): What is meant by وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا [And We made a shining lamp] is the radiant sun.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): The supplication of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) for Thursday: بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِیم [In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful]... You made the sun a shining lamp for the people.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Asim ibn Humayd said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) about the narrations they relate concerning the vision (of Allah). He said: "The sun is one part of seventy parts of the light of the Kursi, and the Kursi is one part of seventy parts of the light of the Arsh (Throne), and the Arsh is one part of seventy parts of the light of the Hijab (veil), and the Hijab is one part of seventy parts of the light of the Sitr (covering). So if they are truthful, let them stare at the sun when no cloud is in front of it, and look at it fully."
