📖 Surah al-Ma’idah, Verse 1
📜 Tafsir of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them)
1. Imam al-Jawad (a):
📘 Tafsir Ahlul Bayt, vol. 3, p. 558
📚 Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 36, p. 92 / Al-Burhān / Tafsir al-Qummī, vol. 1, p. 160
2. The Prophet Muhammad (s) — narrated by Imam al-Bāqir (a):
🔹 This confirms that the Wilāyah of Imam ʿAli (a) was not only a political instruction but a divine covenant imposed on the believers.
📘 Tafsir Ahlul Bayt, vol. 3, p. 558
📚 Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 36, p. 191 / Saʿd al-Suʿūd, p. 121
3. Imam al-Sadiq (a):
📘 Tafsir Ahlul Bayt, vol. 3, p. 558
📚 Tafsīr al-ʿAyyāshī, vol. 1, p. 290 / Noor al-Thaqalayn / Al-Burhān
🧭 Wilāyah-Themed Reflection
🔹 This verse opens with a direct address to the believers:
“O you who believe…”
🔸 And the first divine instruction that follows is:
“Fulfill your covenants.”
🔹 From the perspective of the Ahlul Bayt (a), the chief covenant being referred to here is the Covenant of Wilāyah — the pledge to the leadership of Imam ʿAli (a).
🔸 Thus, allegiance to the Imamate is not merely theological—it is a sacred, Qur'anic contract with Allah.
✨ Concluding Moral Insight
✅ If we truly claim faith, we must uphold the covenant the Prophet (s) secured for ʿAli (a).
✅ Rejecting Wilāyah is, according to the Ahlul Bayt (a), a breach of a divine oath.
✅ In the Qur’an and the logic of the Ahlul Bayt (a), faith is incomplete without Wilāyah.

📜 Tafsir of the Ahlul Bayt (peace be upon them)
1. Imam al-Jawad (a):
“The Messenger of Allah (s) took allegiance for the caliphate of ʿAli (a) from the people on ten occasions... Then Allah revealed the verse: ‘O you who believe, fulfill the covenants’ — referring to the covenants taken for the leadership of Amir al-Mu'minin (a).”

2. The Prophet Muhammad (s) — narrated by Imam al-Bāqir (a):
“The Prophet (s) secured allegiance to ʿAli (a) in ten different places... Then Allah revealed: ‘Fulfill the contracts.’”

3. Imam al-Sadiq (a):
When asked by al-Mufaddal about the meaning of “bahīmat al-anʿām” (beast of cattle) in the verse, the Imam replied:
“The ‘beast’ (al-bahīmah) here refers to the Wali (Divinely Appointed Leader), and the ‘cattle’ (al-anʿām) refers to the believers.”
