سورة الشمس

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Fadl ibn Abbas narrates from Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) that he said: فَکَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوها فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاها [But they called him a liar and hamstrung her, so their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them]; the meaning is: it will be at the raj'a (return). وَ لا یَخافُ عُقْباها [And He does not fear its consequence]; He does not fear if the like of it is repeated.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): Asbagh ibn Nubata said: I heard the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) on the pulpit of Kufa saying: "O people, I am the nose and two eyes of guidance [I am the leader]. O people, do not be alarmed on the path of guidance by the few who tread it. People have gathered around a table whose satiety is little and whose hunger is great. Allah is the One whose help is sought. The axis of people is love and hatred. O people, one man hamstrung the she-camel of Salih (peace be upon him), yet because of everyone's approval of that act, they were all afflicted with its punishment — because of the verse: 'So they called their companion, and he took [the sword] and hamstrung [her]! So how [terrible] was My punishment and My warnings!' (Qamar 54:29-30). And He said: فَعَقَرُوها فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِذَنْبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاها وَ لا یَخافُ عُقْباها [So they slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them, and He fears not its consequence]. Be aware! If anyone is asked about my killer and supposes that he was a believer, then that very person has in truth killed me. O people, whoever walks the straight path reaches the water, and whoever deviates from it becomes lost." Then he (peace be upon him) came down from the pulpit.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْهِمْ [Then He crushed them] — He punished them at night, suddenly and by surprise.
