2. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Haytham `Ijli (RA) said: Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Zakaria Qittan said: Bakr ibn `Abd Allah ibn Habib said: Tamim ibn Buhlul on the authority of his father on the authority of Abu al-Hasan `Abdi on the authority of Sulayman ibn Mihran who that
I asked Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq (AS) about the Word of Allah, the Mighty and High: And the whole Earth shall be in His Grip on the Day of Resurrection. Thus, he (AS) answered, This means that no one will grab hold of His Rule but Him. While the Grip [alqabd] from the Blessed and the Exalted in another place is deprival, the amplification [al-bast] signifies granting and increase. As the Mighty and High has said; And Allah straitens and amplifies, and you shall be returned to Him. This means that He grants, increases, deprives and tightens. According to one opinion, the straitening [al-qabd] of the Mighty and High signifies seizure. According to another opinion, the straitening means His Acceptance. As He says: And he takes the alms i.e. He accepts them from eligible ones, and rewards them for it. I enquired, “As for the Word of the Mighty and High: `The Heavens rolled up in His Right Hand.’ He (AS) replied, “The Right Hand signifies strength and power. The Mighty and High says: The Heaves rolled up by His Omnipotence and Power; `glory be to Him, and may He be exalted above what they associate (with Him.).’
2 - حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن الهيثم العجلي رحمه الله قال: حدثنا أحمد بن يحيى ابن زكريا القطان، قال: حدثنا بكر بن عبد الله بن حبيب، قال: حدثنا تميم ابن بهلول، عن أبيه، عن أبي الحسن العبدي، عن سليمان بن مهران، قال
سألت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل: (والأرض جميعا قبضته يوم القيمة) فقال: يعني ملكه لا يملكها معه أحد، والقبض من الله تبارك وتعالى في موضع آخر المنع والبسط، منه الاعطاء والتوسيع، كما قال عز وجل: ﴿والله يقبض ويبسط وإليه ترجعون﴾ يعني يعطي ويوسع ويمنع ويضيق، والقبض منه عز وجل في وجه آخر الأخذ (١) في وجه القبول منه كما قال: ﴿ويأخذ الصدقات﴾ (٢) أي يقبلها من أهلها ويثيب عليها، قلت: فقوله عز وجل: (والسماوات مطويات بيمينه)؟ قال: اليمين اليد، واليد القدرة والقوة، يقول عز وجل: السماوات مطويات بقدرته وقوته، سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون. باب تفسير قول الله عز وجل: ﴿كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبون﴾ (٣)
