2 - أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن ابن فضال، عن أبي جميلة، عن محمد بن علي الحلبي، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في قوله عز وجل: (يوم يكشف عن ساق) قال: تبارك الجبار، ثم أشار إلى ساقه فكشف عنها الإزار، قال: ويدعون إلى السجود فلا يستطيعون، قال: أفحم القوم ودخلتهم الهيبة، وشخصت الأبصار، وبلغت القلوب الحناجر، خاشعة أبصارهم ترهقهم ذلة وقد كانوا يدعون إلى السجود وهم سالمون. قال محمد بن علي مؤلف هذا الكتاب: قوله عليه السلام: تبارك الجبار وأشار إلى ساقه فكشف عنها الإزار، يعني به: تبارك الجبار أن يوصف بالساق الذي هذا صفته.
2. My father, may Allah have mercy on him, that Sa`d ibn `Abd Allah on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashim on the authority of Ibn Fuddal on the authority of Abu Jamiilah on the authority Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Halabi that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) said regarding the Word of the Mighty and High: `On the Day when there shall be severe affliction.” He replied: “Blessed be the Supreme [Jabbar]! Then be pointed towards his shin, lifted the clothing which covered it, and read: “And they shall be called upon the make obeisance, but they shall not be able.”1 He then said: “The people will e silenced, fear will enter them, their eyes will look fixedly, their hearts will reach their throats, their eyes will be in a state of humbleness, and they will be humiliated when they are called upon to make obeisance, although they are sound.” Muhammad ibn `Ali the Compiler of this book says: What he (AS) meant by his statement “Blessed be the Supreme!” after which he pointed to his shin and uncovered it,” was “Blessed be the Supreme! He is far above having a shin, Who is such.”
