39:33
How dear the word “sidq” (truth, true, truthful) is. It is particularly so, as it is one of the names of the holy Qur’an (39:33). By “sidq” is meant sadiq (truthful), by which is meant the one who knows and explains the verities and realities of the Qur’an and verifies them by word and deed. And siddiq is the emphatic form of sadiq, which means extremely truthful, truthful from top to bottom and the one who knows the verity and reality of religion from the very root and foundation of it. By this siddiq is meant the wali whose rank is after that of the Prophet. Thus according to the verse (4:69), at the first step of the ladder of spiritual progress, are those who obey (tabi`in), at the second step are the salihin (the righteous ones), at the third, the shuhada' (the martyrs, the witnesses), at the fourth, the siddiqin (the truthful ones) and then are the Prophets, may peace be upon them, who have climbed the ladder.
Sadiqin (cAli, pure Imams)
It must be noted that "sidq (truth)" is among the names of the Qur'an (39:33). (See "al-Ittiqan", I, 145). Thus the truthful are those in whose hearts are preserved all the spiritual and luminous ayat, i.e. miracles of the wise Qur’an (29:49), as the holy Prophet has said about Mawla cAli: "cAli is with the Qur'an and the Qur'an is with cAli and they will never separate from one another until they will come to me at the pool (of Kawthar)." (al-Mustadrak, III, 134) That is, the Qur'an and cAli will always remain together till the Resurrection of resurrections. How? The Qur'an always in a new edition and cAli in a new attire of Imamat.
