Shia commentary of 238 verse from al-Baqara

Posted on by

Allah Taala said in the Quran:

حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ

Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah.

Let us see commentary of shias on this beautiful verse, believe me! You would be surprised.

Muhammad ibn Masood al-Ayashi in his tafsir vol 1, p 128:

421 – ـ عن زرارة ـ عن عبدالرحمن بن كثير عن أبى عبدالله عليه السلام في قوله : ” حافظوا على الصلوات والصلوة الوسطى وقوموا لله قانتين ” ـ قال : الصلوة رسول الله وامير المؤمنين وفاطمة والحسن والحسين والوسطى امير المؤمنين ـ ” وقوموا لله قانتين ” طائعين للائمة

421 – Zurarah – Abdurrahman ibn Kathir from Abu Abdullah (alaihi salam), which said regarding saying of Allah: “Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah”. Imam said: “Prayers” –  prophet, commander of faithful, Fatimah, al-Hasan, al-Husayn. “Middle prayer” – commander of faithful. “Stand up truly obedient to Allah” – obedient to Imams.

  2. This hadeeth is da`eef (weak).

    According to SaHeeH hadeeth Salah Al-WusTa (The Middle Prayer) is Salaah Al-Dhuhr.

    عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع

    وَ قَالَ تَعَالَى حافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَواتِ وَ الصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطى‏ وَ هِيَ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هِيَ وَسَطُ النَّهَارِ وَ وَسَطُ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ بِالنَّهَارِ صلاة الغداة و العصر
    From Zuraarah said: I asked Abaa Ja`far : “…and He, ta`aala, said: ‘guard upon your prayers, and the middle prayer’ (2:238). And it is salaah al-dhuhr, and it is the first salaah that the Messenger of Allaah prayed, and it is in the middle of the day, and the middle of the two prayers in the day, salaah al-ghadaa’ (fajr) and salaah al-`aSr.”
