عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِذا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الرَّجِيمِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ سُلْطانٌ عَلَى الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَلى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ يُسَلَّطُ وَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى بَدَنِهِ وَ لَا يُسَلَّطُ عَلَى دِينِهِ قَدْ سُلِّطَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ (عليه السلام) فَشَوَّهَ خَلْقَهُ وَ لَمْ يُسَلَّطْ عَلَى دِينِهِ وَ قَدْ يُسَلَّطُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى أَبْدَانِهِمْ وَ لَا يُسَلَّطُ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّما سُلْطانُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُ وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ بِهِ مُشْرِكُونَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ بِاللَّهِ مُشْرِكُونَ يُسَلَّطُ عَلَى أَبْدَانِهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَدْيَانِهِمْ.


433. From him, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Mansour bin Yunus, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s) about: “[16:98] So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan [16:99] Surely he has no authority over those who believe and rely on their Lord”, so he (a.s) said; ‘O Abu Muhammad! By Allah (azwj), he (la) overcomes the Believer upon his body but does not overcome his Religion. He (la) had overcome upon Ayub (a.s), so he (la) deformed his (a.s) physique and did not overcome upon his (a.s) Religion, and he (la) has overcome the Believers upon their bodies and does not overcome upon their Religion’. I said, ‘The Statement of the High: “[16:100] His authority is only over those who befriend him and those who associate others with Him.” He (a.s) said: ‘The ones who associate with Allah (azwj), he (la) overcomes upon their bodies as well as upon their Religions’.
