1515 - حَقُّ التِّلاوَةِ

1515. THE REALITY OF RECITATION

5187.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام - في قولِهِ تعالى‏ : (الَّذِينَ آتَيناهُمُ الكِتابَ يَتْلُونَهُ حَقَّ تِلاوَتِهِ) - : يُرَتِّلُونَ آياتِهِ ، ويَتَفَهَّمونَ مَعانِيَهُ ، ويَعمَلُونَ بأحكامِهِ ، ويَرجُونَ وَعدَهُ ، ويَخشَونَ عَذابَهُ ، ويَتَمَثَّلُونَ قصَصَهُ ، ويَعتَبِرُونَ أمثالَهُ ، ويَأتُونَ أوامِرَهُ ، ويَجتَنِبونَ نَواهِيَهُ . ما هُو واللَّهِ بحِفظِ آياتِهِ وسَردِ حُروفِهِ ، وتِلاوَةِ سُوَرِهِ ودَرسِ أعشارِهِ وأخماسِهِ ، حَفِظُوا حُروفَهُ وأضاعُوا حُدودَهُ ، وإنّما هو تَدَبُّرُ آياتِهِ ، يقولُ اللَّهُ تعالى‏ : (كِتابٌ أنْزَلناهُ إلَيكَ مُبارَكٌ لِيَدَّبَّروا آياتِهِ)¹.²

5187. Imam al-Sadiq, with respect to Allah's verse in the Qur'an: "Those to whom We have given the Book follow it as it ought to be followed." ³ said, 'They recite its verses and understand its meanings and act according to its laws. They hope for its reward, fear its punishment, take examples from its stories, take lesson from its parables, perform its orders, stay away from what it has prohibited. By Allah, it is not just memorizing its verses, citing its words, reciting its chapters, and learning its parts. They have memorized its words and lost its limits. That which is important is contemplating into its verses, Allah Almighty says: "[It is] a blessed Book that We have sent down to you, so that they may contemplate its signs." ⁴⁵
