Qur’an:
“They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths, but God is the perfecter of His light, even though the disbelievers harbor hatred.” [As-Saff 61:8]
يريدون ليطفئوا نور الله بأفواههم والله متم نوره ولو كره الكافرون
Sunnah:
Muhammad ibn Al-Fudail reported that he asked Imam Al-Kazim (a.) about the verse: “They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths.” (61:8) He said: “They want to extinguish the light of God, the closeness (Wilayah) to the Commander of the believers (a.), with their mouths.” I said: “But God is the perfecter of His light.” (61:8) He said: “God is the perfecter of the leadership (Imamah) due to His statement: “Believe in God and His messenger and the light that We sent down.” (64:8) Therefore, the light is the Imam.” I said: “It is He Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and true religion.” (61:9) He said: “It is He Who ordered His Messenger Muhammad to be close (Wilayah) to His representative and the closeness (Wilayah) is the true religion.” I said: “That He may make him victorious over every faith.” (61:9) He said: “That He may make him victorious in the rising of the riser (Qa’im) over all the religions: “Even if those who disbelieve in the closeness (Wilayah) of Ali harbored hatred.” (61:8) I said: “This is a revelation.” He said: “Yes, as far as this wording is concerned, it is a revelation and as for what is besides that, it is an interpretation.” [Al-Burhan of Al-Bahrani, Volume 7 page 562 – 563 Hadith 1]
محمد بن يعقوب: عن علي بن محمد, عن بعض أصحابنا, عن ابن محبوب, عن محمد بن الفضيل, عن أبي الحسن الماضي عليه السلام قال: سألته عن قول الله تعالى: يريدون ليطفئوا نور ٱلله بأفوههم قال: يريدون ليطفئوا ولاية أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام بأفواههم قل ت: وٱلله متم نوره قال: والله متم الإمامة لقوله عز و جل: فآمنوا بٱلله ورسوله وٱلنور ٱلذي أنزلنا فالنور هو الإمام قلت: هو ٱلذي أرسل رسوله بٱلهدى ودين ٱلحق قال: هو الذي أمر رسوله محمدا بالولاية لوصيه, والولاية هي دين الحق قلت: ليظهره على ٱلدين كله قال: يظهره على جميع الأديان عند قيام القائم عليه السلام ولو كره ٱلكفرون بولاية علي قلت: هذا تنزيل قال: نعم أما هذا الحرف فتنزيل وأما غيره فتأويل

Abu Al-Hasan Al-Qummi writes: “Regarding the verse: “They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths, but God is the perfecter of His light (61:8).” So He said: “By the Riser (Qa’im) from the family of Muhammad (s.), until he goes out, so that God may make him victorious over every religion, so that none may be worshiped besides God.” This is his statement: “He fills the earth with justice and righteousness just as it was filled with injustice and tyranny.” [Tafsir Al-Qummi, Vol. 2 page 365]
قال أبو الحسن القمي: وقوله يريدون ليطفؤا نور الله بأفواهم والله متم نوره قال بالقائم من ال محمد عليهم السلام حتى إذا خرج يظهره الله على الدين كله حتى لا يعبد غير الله وهو قوله ” يملأ الأرض قسطا وعدلا كما ملئت ظلما وجورا

ما رواه ثقة الإسلام الكليني رحمه الله في أصول الكافي عن أبي خالد الكابلي، قال سألت أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن قول الله عز وجل فآمنوا بالله ورسوله والنور الذي أنزلنا فقال عليه السلام: يا أبا خالد، النور والله نور الأئمة من آل محمد عليهم السلام إلى يوم القيامة وهم والله نور الله الذي أنزل، وهم والله نور الله في السماوات والأرض
Ali Ibn Abi Talib (a.) reported that Prophet Muhammad (s.) said: “God took a glance at the inhabitants of the earth and chose me from among them. After that, He took a second glance at them and chose Ali as my brother and as my advisor and as my heir and as my representative and as my successor for my community and as the close one (Wali) of every believer after me. Whoever turned to him, turned to God and whoever opposed him, opposed God, and whoever loved him, loved God and whoever was angry with him, became angry with God. By God, no one loves him except a believer and no one is angry with him except an disbeliever. He is the light of the world after me and its pillar and he is the word of God-fearing and the firmest handhold.” After that, the Messenger (s.) read: “They want to extinguish the light of God with their mouths, (61:8) but God does not allow it except that He completes His light, even if the disbelievers harbored hatred.” O people, let the present one of you inform this saying of mine to the absent one of you, O God, I take You as a witness against them! O people, God took a third glance at them and chose eleven Imams after me and after Ali son of Abu Talib, one after the other. Whenever one passed away, another one rose, like the stars. Whenever one star sets, another star rises. Neither does he who makes schemes against them harm them, nor does he who abandons them. They are the proof of God for His earth and His witnesses over His creation. Whoever obeyed them obeyed God, and whoever opposed them opposed God. They are with the Qur’an and the Qur’an is with them. Neither does it separate from them nor do they separate from it until they arrive at me at the Pool (of Paradise).” [Al-Burhan of Al-Bahrani, Volume 7 page 527 – 528 Hadith 4]
محمد بن الحسين, عن محمد بن وهبان, عن أحمد بن جعفر الصولي, عن علي بن الحسين, عن حميد بن الربيع, عن هشيم بن بشير, عن أبي إسحاق الحارث بن عبد الله الحاسدي, عن علي عليه السلام قال: صعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله المنبر فقال: إن الله نظر إلى أهل الأرض نظرة فاختارني منهم, ثم نظر ثانية فاختار عليا أخي و وزيري و وارثي و وصيي, و خليفتي في أمتي, و ولي كل مؤمن بعدي, من تولاه تولى الله, و من عاداه عادى الله , و من أحبه أحبه الله, و من أبغضه أبغضه الله, و الله لا يحبه إلا مؤمن, و لا يبغضه إلا كافر, و هو نور الأرض بعدي و ركنها, و هو كلمة التقوى و العروة الوثقى, ثم تلا رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله يريدون أن يطفئوا نور ٱلله بأفوههم ويأبى ٱلله إلا أن يتم نوره ولو كره لكافرون يا أيها الناس, ليبلغ مقالتي هذه شاهدكم غائبكم, اللهم إني أشهدك عليهم. أيها الناس, و إن الله نظر ثالثة, و اختار بعدي و بعد علي بن أبي طالب أحد عالشر إماما, واحدا بعد واحد, كلما هلك واحد قام واحد, كمثل نجوم السماء, كلما غاب نجم طلع نجم, هداة مهديون, لا يضرهم كيد من كادهم , و خذلان من خذلهم, هم حجة الله في أرضه, و شهداؤه على خلقه, من أطاعهم أطاع الله, و من عصاهم عصى الله, هم مع القرآن و القرآن معهم, لا يفارقهم و لا يفارقونه حتى, يردوا علي الحوض
