شهیدان و منتظران

در میان مفسران در این باره گفت‌وگو است که این آیه در مورد چه کسانی است. از امام علی(ع) روایت شده است: «آیة «من المژمنین رجال...» در بارةٌ ما نازل شده است. آن کسی که انتظار شهادت را می‌کشد. من هستم (و قبلاً مردانی از ما همچون حمزهٌ سیدالشهدا(ع) شربت شهادت نوشیدند) و من هرگز در عهد و پیمان خود تغییر و تبدیلی ندادم.» البته آیه مفهوم وسیعی دارد که تمام موّمنان راستین را در هر عصر و زمان شامل می‌شود؛ چه آنها که در راه خدا شربت شهادت را نوشیدند و چه آنها که بدون هیچ‌گونه تزلزلی» بر سر عهد و پیمان با خدای خویش ایستاده و آمادةٌ جهاد و شهادت بودند. نقل شده است که هر کدام از یاران امام حسین(ع) در کربلا که می‌خواستند به میدان بروند» با امام وداع می‌کردند و می‌گفتند: سلام بر تو ای پسر رسول خدا (سلام خداحافظی). امام نیز به آنها پاسخ می‌گفت و می‌فرمود: «سلام بر تو. ما پشت سر تو هستیم.» سپس این یه را تلاوت می‌فرمود: «فمنهم من قضی نحبه و منهم من ینتظر.» همچنین گفته‌اند که امام حسین(ع) هنگامی که خبر شهادت برخی از شهیدان را شنید» این آیه را تلاوت فرمود.
