سورة المطففين

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): يَشْهَدُهُ المُقَرَّبُونَ [Those who are drawn near shall witness it] means the angels who are drawn near, who write [the deeds].

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): Asbagh ibn Nubata said: Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: Uthman ibn Affan asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): "What is the explanation of Abjad?" The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Learn the explanation of Abjad, for in it are all the wonders. Woe to a scholar who is ignorant of its explanation." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), what is the explanation of Abjad?" He said: "The Alif is ala'ullah (the bounties of Allah), and it is a letter from His names. The Ba is bahjatullah (the splendour of Allah). The Nun is ن وَ الْقَلَمِ وَ ما یَسْطُرُونَ [Nun. By the pen and what they write] (Qalam/1) — the pen is a pen of light and a book of light in a Preserved Tablet which those who are drawn near witness. And Allah suffices as a witness in this. (Nisa/79)"

Imam al-Sajjad (peace be upon him): O Allah, with Your remembrance I open my speech... So make me honoured in Your sight on the day I rise before You and meet You, safeguarded from the consequences of ostentation, purified from the calamities of the whims of the soul, ascending towards You with righteous deeds by morning and evening in an unbroken manner such that its beginning and end are not perceived, and place me among those whose names are recorded with You in the elevated books in Illiyyun, stored in the hidden register which یَشْهَدُهُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ [those who are drawn near witness], وَ لا یَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ [and none touch it save the purified] — [that is, none can reach it]. (Waqi'ah/79)
