A Promise to Iblees in Ghadir

بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh Ali Ibn Ibrahim Al-Qummi:

As about the Statement of Allah: "And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them, for they follow him, all save a group of true believers."[34:20]

His statement: "And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them, for they follow him, all save a group of true believers.[34:20]"

Narrated my father from Ibn Abi Umayr from Ibn Sinan from Abi Abdullah(عليه السلام), who said: "When Allah ordered his Prophet(صلي الله وعليه وآله) to appoint Amirul Muminin(عليه السلام) over people following the verse: 'O Messenger! deliver what bas been revealed to you from your Lord {about Ali};[5:67]' in Ghadir Khum and he said: 'whomsoever I am the master, Ali is his master', then the devils came to their great Devil and they were mourning by throwing dust over their heads, so Iblees said to them: 'what is the matter?' they said: 'this man has tied a tie today that nothing can open it till the Day of Judgment', Iblees said to them:'Never, verily those who were around him have promised me something about this that they will never break.' Then Allah revealed this verse to His Messenger: 'And Satan indeed found his calculation true concerning them,...[34:20]'"
