572. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Ammar Bin Suweyd who said
‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying regarding this Verse: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him?”, When the Rasool Allah (saww) encamped at Qudeyd and said to Ali (asws): ‘O Ali (asws)! I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Establish friendship between me (asws) and you (asws), so He (azwj) Did it. And I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Establish brotherhood between me (saww) and you (asws), so he (azwj) Did it. And I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Make you (asws) to be my (saww) successor, so He (azwj) Did it. Two men (Abu Bakr and Umar) from Qureysh said, ‘By Allah (azwj)! A Sa’a (unit of measurement) of dates in a basket is more beloved to us than what Muhammad (saww) asked his (saww) Lord (azwj) for. So, had he (saww) asked his (saww) Lord (azwj) for an Angel to support him (saww) against his (saww) enemies, or a treasure to make us to be needless by it from the hunger. By Allah (azwj)! He (saww) does not supplicate to Him (azwj), be it true or false, but that He (azwj) Answers him (saww)’. So Allah (azwj), Glorious and High Revealed: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it” – up to the end of the Verse’.
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَلَعَلَّكَ تارِكٌ بَعْضَ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ وَ ضائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا لَوْ لا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ أَوْ جاءَ مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمَّا نَزَلَ قُدَيْدَ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يُوَالِيَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يُوَاخِيَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ وَصِيِّي فَفَعَلَ فَقَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَ اللَّهِ لَصَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فِي شَنٍّ بَالٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِمَّا سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ فَهَلَّا سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ مَلَكاً يَعْضُدُهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ أَوْ كَنْزاً يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ عَنْ فَاقَتِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَعَاهُ إِلَى حَقٍّ وَ لَا بَاطِلٍ إِلَّا أَجَابَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى فَلَعَلَّكَ تارِكٌ بَعْضَ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ وَ ضائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.
