Re: Taboot e Sakeena.?
Salaam brother. Following is from the perspective of the school of Ahlul Bayt (as):
al-Qummi narrated from his father from an-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from Harun ibn Kharijah from Abu Ja'far (as.) saying:
"Verily, the Israelites, after the death of Musa, indulged in sins, and changed the religion of God, and acted arrogantly against the commandments of God; and there was a prophet among them, who ordered them (to do good) and forbade them (evil), but they did not obey him. (And it is narrated that he was the prophet, Armiah1 - may the peace of Allah be upon our prophet and him!) Thereupon, Allah gave Goliath mastery over them; and he was a Coptic.2 He humiliated them, and killed their men, and turned them out of their homes and their properties, and kept their women as slave girls. Therefore, they resorted to their prophet and said: 'Ask Allah to raise up for us a king, so that we may fight in the way of Allah. And there was the prophethood in one house of the children of Israel and kingship and rulership in another house. And Allah had not kept the prophethood and kingship in one house; that is why they asked their prophet to 'raise for us a king, so that we may fight in the way of Allah.' Thereupon their prophet said to them: 'May it not be that if fighting is ordained for you, you would not fight?' They said: 'And what reasons have we that we should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been turned out of our homes and our children.' And it happened as Allah said: But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them; and Allah knows the unjust. And their prophet said to them: 'Surely Allah has raised Talut to be a king over you.' Then they were enraged by this (appointment), and said: 'How can he hold kingship over us, while we have a greater right to kingship then he and he has not been granted an abundance of wealth?' And the prophethood was in the house of Lawi3, and the kingship in the house of Yusuf; and Talut was from the house of Benyamin4 , the full brother of Yusuf, and was, thus, from neither the house of prophethood nor from that of kingship. Then their prophet said to them: 'Surely, Allah has chosen him over you, and He has increased him abundantly in knowledge and physique, and Allah grants His Kingdom to whom He pleases, and Allah is Ample-giving, Knowing. ' And Talut was the greatest of them in physique, the most powerful and knowledgeable of them all, but he was a poor man. So, they vilified him because of his poverty, and said that he had not been given an abundance of wealth. Thereupon, their prophet said to them: 'Surely the sign of his kingship is that there shall come to you the Ark in which there is tranquility from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the family of Musa and the family of Harun have left, the angels bearing it.' And it was the chest which was sent by Allah and Musa's mother put him in it and threw it in the river; and it was among the Israelites and they sought blessings through it. When Musa was about to die, he put inside it in the tablets, and his coat of mail and whatever signs of prophethood he had, and gave it in trust to his successor, Yusha'5 And the Ark remained in them until they made slight of it, and the children played with it in the streets. Thus, the Israelites remained with honor and dignity as long as the Ark was with them, but when they committed sins and profaned the Ark, Allah took it away from them. When they asked their prophet, Allah raised Talut as king over them, and he let them in the fight then Allah returned the Ark to them, as he said: 'Surely the sign of his kingship is that there shall come to you the Ark in which their is tranquility from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the family of Musa and the family of Harun have left, the angels bearing it.' And he (Abu Ja'far) said: "The residue is the children of the prophets." (at-Tafsir, al-Qummi)
