Surah Ale-Imran

(ALE-IMRAN—199)
"O YOU WHO BELIEVE BE PATIENT AND EXCEL IN PATIENCE AND REMAIN STEAD FAST AND BE CAREFUL OF (YOUR DUTY TO) ALLAH THAT YOU MAY BE SUCCESSFUL."
Hafiz Qanduzi Hanafl quotes Imam Mohammad Baquir (A.S.), that Imarn said regarding the above verse of Holy Ouran. "Be patient .upon fulfilling your obligatory duties and be steadfast while facing your enemies oppression and, keep contact with your awaited. Imam Mahdi(A.S.)
(YANABAYUL—MAWADDAT page 506)

Author :

This means keep yourselves (your lives) closely and fastly related and connected with Imam Mahdl [A.S) and keep your soul attached to him. In this sentence there is a hint that there should be a positive cetainity of pious existence of Imam and that there must be a strong will without any duress to sacrifice one self and his life in his path and be ready for jihad in his presence.

Surah Taubah

TAUBAH 36
"SURELY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS WITH ALLAH IS TWELVE MONTHS IN ALLAH'S ORDINANCE SINCE THE DAY WHEN HK CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH."
The Great Scholar Syed Hashim Behrani writes in his book 'GHAYTOOL-MAARAM', quoting Faqih Abul Hasan Mohammad bin Ali bin Shazaan, who in turn quotes lbn-e-Abbas in his book 'AL-MANAQIB-AI.-MIATA-MIN-TAREEQUL AAMMA':
lbn-e-Abbas says that he heard from the prophet (PBUH). (from a long tradition) 'O' people whosoever wants to recognise after me the Vicegerent of Allah (VALI-e - KHUDA) should recognise Ali [A.S] '"0' people, whosoever wants to follow me should follow Ali (A.S), and give obedience to him and accept the WILAYAT and Authority of lmams of my progeny, because they are treasures and Guardians of my Knowledge." Thereafter Jabbir got up. and asked: " 'O' Prophet of Allah, How many Imams are there? The holy prophet replied, " 'O''Jaabir may Allah bless you. You have inquired from me about the whole of Islam. Their number is equal to the number of months and that "SURELY THE NUMBER OF MONTHS WITH ALLAH IS TWELVE." (9:36). Then he said 'O' Jaabir Imams are also twelve. The first of them is Ali lbn-Abi Talib (A.S.) and the last is 'QAIM'.
(GHAYAATUL-MARAAM page 244)

Author :

The fact that the Holy prophet compared the twelve Imams with twelve months and then his reciting the Holy verse of Quran (9:36). and then immediately saying that the Imams are twelve and the last one of them is 'QAIM', all these things prove and give witness that the interpretation of this holy verse is the Infallible lrnarns (A.S.) and the interpretation given by the Holy prophet is the spirit of Holy Ouran.

Surah Taubah

TAUBAH 33
"HE IT IS WHO SENT HIS APOSTLE WITH GUIDANCE AND THE RELIGION OF TRUTH, THAT HE MIGHT CAUSE IT TO PREVAIL OVER ALL RELIGIONS THAT THE POLYTHEISTS MAY BE AVERSE."
Hafiz Qanduzi Hanafi has quoted Imam Jafare-e-Sadiq(A.S.) that regarding the above verse of Holy Ouran said: "By Allah, this verse can not be interpreted until QAIM MAHDI rises. So when QAIM will rise and bring about the Revolution, no Polytheist (MUSHRIK) will remain in his place, and no disbeliever (KAFIR) will be saved from being killed. So much, so that even if a disbeliever hides himself inside a stone, that stone will cry out: " 'O' Faithfull! A disbeliever is hiding inside me, so break open me and kill him."
(YANABAYUL-MAWADDAT page 508)

Author :

The Imam's saying that no disbeliever will remain without being killed refers to those enimical and envious disbelievers about whom Holy Ouran has said
"THEN INCREASE IN THEIR DISBELIEVE" [4:137).
Moreover there are many traditions which show that those disbelievers who do not harbour enimity and hatred for Islam and muslims will accept Islam as the religion and imam Mahdi (AS.) as Imarn and the successor of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
Imam Sadiq's saying that the stones will speak; there should not be any surprise in talking of stones after having faith in power of Allah. Since imam Mahdl (a.s.) is lmam from Allah there should be no hindrance in Allah's giving him this miracle. Who is there to prevent the Omnipotent ALLAH from causing such things from the hands of Imam Mahdi (AS.) to happen. The hands through which Allah will make His religion victorious over all religons.
Did not the pebbles of stone talk on the hands of the holy prophet (pbuh). although at that time Allah did not make His religion prevalent upon all religions.
Therefore there should be no surprise. Is it not a fact that Allah had sent His holy prophet Noah (AS.) for the Guidance of the people and yet only few people accepted his faith despite his long mission of 950 years.?
Note: This verse has been repeated thrice in Quran in three different places in exactly the same words. So they shall be counted as three different verses. Therefore we shall repeat its explanation while dealing with the commentary on Surah Fath and Surah Saff.

Surah Hud

HUD: 86
"WHAT REMAINS WITH ALLAH IS BETTER FOR YOU IF YOU ARE BELIEVERS"
Shaafic Scholar Syed Momin Shablanji has quoted a long tradition in his book
'NOOR-UL-ABSAAR' from Imam Mohammad Baquir (A.S). A part of it is given below:-
"So when Mahdi (A.S) will reappear he will rest his back against the wall of Kaaba and 313 of his followers will gather around him. Then the first word which he will utter will be the verse of Holy Quran "BAQIYATULLAH - HE- KHAYR.UL-LAKUM-IN-KUNTUM MOMINEEN'. Thereafter he will say "I am BAQIYATUL-LAH. HIS vicegerents and caliph and His Proof (HUJJAT) upon you. After that who ever will salute him will salute him in this words
"ASSALAAMO-ALAIYKA-YA BAQUIYATALLAH FIL-ARDEHI"
(Peace be upon you 'O' the Remnant of Allah on his earth)
(Noor-nl-Absaar, page 172)
Also Allamah lbn-e-Sabbagh-Maliki (in twelveth chapter of his book "AL-FUSOOL-AL-MUHIMMAH" and other scholars have quoted this tradition.

Author :

The explanation of the verse does not come into conflict with the tradition about Prophet Shoeb (A.S.). because TANZEEL (descendence) and TAWEEL (explanation) are two different things and the Quran also has ZAAHIR (outward meaning) and BAATIN (hidden meaning). Hence the interpretation of either of them — when continuous traditions are found do not create any controversy.
