Hadith 22

In Tafseer Al-Numany, among what is reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘And as for His-azwj Argumentation upon the atheists in His-azwj Religion, and His-azwj Book, and His-azwj Rasool-saww, the atheists do acknowledge with the death and do not acknowledge with the Creator. Thus, they are accepting that they did not exist (before), then they came into existence. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: Qaf! By the Glorious Quran [50: 1] – up to His-azwj Words: (But, they are astounded that a warner from among them has come to them, so the Kafirs said, ‘This is a strange thing! [50: 2] What! When we are dead and become dust? That is a) far (from probable) return’ [50: 3]. And like His-azwj Words: And he strikes out an example for Us (and forgets his own creation – up to His-azwj Words – He says, ‘Who will revive the bones and these have rotted away? ’ [36: 78] Say: ‘He Who Revived these) the first time, [36: 79]. And like it are the Words of the Exalted: And from the people there is one who disputes regarding Allah with neither having knowledge nor a Guidance nor an illuminating Book [22: 8] Twisting his neck haughtily in order to stray (others) from the Way of Allah. For him would is disgrace in the world, and on the Day of Qiyamah We will Make him taste the Punishment of burning [22: 9]. Allah-azwj the Exalted Rebutted upon them what would point them upon an attribute of the beginning of their own creation and their first growth: O you people! if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, (then surely, We Created you from dust, then from a seed, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh, formed and unformed, in order to Clarify for you, and We Settle in the wombs whatever We so Desire up to a specified term, then We Extract you as babies for you to be reaching your maturity. And from you is one who is Caused to die, and from you is one who is Returned to the worst age, ) so he does not know anything after having known. [22: 5]. The Glorious Established the evidence upon the atheists from their own selves, then Said, Informing them: And you see the land as barren [22: 5] – up to His (s. w. t. ) Words: and that Allah will Resurrect the ones in the graves [22: 7]. And the Glorious Said: And He is the One Who Sends the winds – up to His-azwj Words: thus We shall Extract the dead [7: 57]. These are examples which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Established the proof to them in proving the Resurrection and the growth after death. And as for the Rebuttal upon the eternalists, those who are claiming that the time will not cease to be, ever, upon one state, and there is neither a Creator, nor a Planner, nor a Maker, nor a Resurrection, nor a (second) growth, the Exalted Said Relating their words: And they are saying, ‘It is not except our life of the world. We are dying and we live and nothing destroys us except the time’. And there is no knowledge for them with that. [45: 24] And they are saying: ‘What! When we become bones and decayed, would we be Resurrected as a new creation? ’ [17: 49] – up to His Words: the first time’ [17: 51]. And these examples are a lot in the Quran, and that is upon the one who was during the lifetime of Rasool-Allah-saww, saying these words. And the one for whom the Eman manifested and the Kufr and the Shirk was hidden, and he remained after Rasool-Allah-saww, and they were the cause of the destruction of the community, so Allah-azwj the Exalted Rebutted by His-azwj Words: O you people! if you are in doubt about the Resurrection, [22: 5] – the Verse, and His-azwj Words: And you see the land as barren, [22: 5] – the Verse, and whatever flowed that flow in the Quran, and the Words of the Glorious in Surah Qaf, as has passed (above), so all of this is a Rebuttal upon the Eternalists and the Atheists, from the ones who deny the Resurrection and the (second) growth’’.
