سورة الشمس

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): Abu Muhammad said: I asked Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): what is meant by وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها [And the day when it shows it]? He said: "What is meant by it is the rightful Imam from the descendants of Fatimah (peace be upon her), who is asked about the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) and makes it clear for the one who asked, and Allah has recounted his words and said: وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها [And the day when it shows it]."

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها [And the day when it shows it]; what is meant is the Qa'im of the family of Muhammad (may Allah hasten his noble relief).

Imam Husayn (peace be upon him): Harith al-A'war said to Imam Husayn (peace be upon him): "May I be your ransom, O son of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family)! Tell me about the verse: وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها [By the sun and its brightness]." He said: "Woe to you, O Harith! What is meant by the sun is Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and what is meant by the moon is Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him), who comes after the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family), and what is meant by the day is the Qa'im of the family of Muhammad (may Allah hasten his noble relief), who will fill the earth with justice and equity."

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها [And the day when it shows it] — meaning the Imams from us, the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), who will inherit the earth at the end of time and fill it with justice and equity. The one who helps them is like the one who helped Musa against Pharaoh, and the one who helps against the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) is like the one who helped Pharaoh against Musa (peace be upon him).
