[Pooya/Ali Commentary 20:82] (see commentary for verse 9) Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Imam Muhammad bin Ali al Baqir said: "Then let himself (remain) guided" means "remain faithful and completely attached to the Ahl ul Bayt". By Allah, if a man worships Allah all his life between the holy Ka-bah and the maqam of Ibrahim without remaining attached to us, Allah will throw him headlong in the hell when he dies. the grant of manna wa salwa. Also refer to the Hakim has mentioned the above narration as a tradition through his own chain-of narrators; and Ayyashi has also mentioned it through several chains of narrators. The Holy Prophet, therefore, declared through hadith al thaqalayn (see page 6) that the word of Allah, the Quran (His guidance, mercy and wisdom), can neither be understood nor put into practice unless the Muslims refer to Ahl ul Bayt and follow their teachings. To love them or to remain attached with them has been commanded in verse 23 of Shura. When Musa was summoned to the mount for forty days (Baqarah: 51), he left Harun behind him as his representative among the people. Similarly the Holy Prophet left Ali as his vicegerent and executor of his will when he migrated from Makka to Madina, and also when he went on the expedition of Tabuk. See commentary of Baqarah; 51 and 207; Anfal: 30; and Bara-at: 41 and 42. While Musa was on the mount his people were tested and tried, and they failed in the trial. The Israelites had brought from Egypt jewels of gold and silver and raiments. Samiri, an Egyptianised Hebrew, who came with them, made a golden calf from the said ornaments. All of them began to worship the image of the calf which made a hollow sound (see commentary of Araf: 148). Harun admonished them and made every effort to keep them from worshipping a meaningless and lifeless object which had no power either to harm them or to do them good. He warned them that they were being tested by their Lord. They did not listen to him. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The questions Musa asks in verses 92 and 93 and the reply Harun gives in verse 94 are used as a medium to make the position of Harun clear by making known the fact to the people that Harun prevented them from falling a prey to Samiri's guile and discharged his duty of guiding them to the right path. He did not want to cause a division among the children of Israil. Samiri's answer is an example of mixing truth with falsehood. He says that he took a handful of dust from the footprint of the angel Jibra-il and threw it into the calf's image. Like Musa the Holy Prophet also left Ali as his successor among the people, and the Samiries among the Muslims made their own images of authorities by distorting and discarding the word of Allah and the word of the Holy Prophet. On the day of judgement all Samiries shall be afflicted with the wrath of Allah. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: All infringements in the unity of a religion are made by mixing half truth; with imposture. It played a very important role in the development of various sects in Islam.
