and Ja'far al-Sadiq—sublime is his remembrance—regarding the saying of the Exalted: [“But if they intend to deceive you - then sufficient for you is Allah. It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers”] 1 , that they said it was revealed regarding Ali. This is because they said that the Messenger of Allah—His might was mighty—said: “I saw written upon the Throne: 'There is no deity but Allah alone, having no partner in dominion, and Muhammad is My servant and My messenger; I supported him with Ali, and I helped him with Ali.'

The First Verse: “[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allah and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists.”] 2
This is an allusion to the delivery of Surah Bara'ah (Disassociation) which the Commander of the Faithful undertook before the disbelievers.
