1 Ḥadīth

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَ لكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَذَّبُوهُ أَشَدَّ التَّكْذِيبِ وَ لَكِنَّهَا مُخَفَّفَةٌ لا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِبَاطِلٍ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِهِ حَقَّكَ.


241. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Umraan Bin Maysam, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: ‘A man recited to Amir-ul-Momineen (a.s) (the following Verse) “[6:33] We know indeed that what they say certainly grieves you, but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust deny the communications of Allah”. He (a.s) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), they had denied him ﷺ with an intense denial, but it was hidden. (The meaning of) “but surely they do not call you a liar” is that ‘they would not be able to come up with the refutation in order to belie your ﷺ truth’’.
