٢٣۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited surah Sad on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated with him. When the next day came, he recited it. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), the people became ready for prostration. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the repentance of a Prophet ; but I saw you being ready for prostration. So he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated along with him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1410)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ص وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ نَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمًا آخَرَ قَرَأَهَا فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ السَّجْدَةَ تَهَيَّأَ النَّاسُ لِلسُّجُودِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هِيَ تَوْبَةُ نَبِيٍّ وَلَكِنْ رَأَيْتُكُمْ تَهَيَّأْتُمْ لِلسُّجُودِ» فَنَزَلَ وَسَجَدَ وَسَجَدَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ
[Machine] "I saw in a dream as if I was reciting Surah Sajdah until I reached the Sajdah (prostration) and the inkwell, pen, and everything around it prostrated. So, I informed the Prophet ﷺ about it, and he performed the prostration."
رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي افْتَتَحْتُ سُورَةَ ص حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى السَّجْدَةِ فَسَجَدَتِ الدَّوَاةُ وَالْقَلَمُ وَمَا حَوْلَهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ بِذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «فَسَجَدَ فِيهَا» على شرط مسلم
[Machine] Abu Talib fell ill, so the Quraysh came. Then the Prophet (pbuh) came, and there was a man sitting at the head of Abu Talib. Abu Jahal stood up in order to prevent him from being near Abu Talib and complained to him. He said, "O cousin, what do you want from your people?" He said, "O uncle, I only want from them a word that the Arabs will be humiliated by, and by which they will pay tribute to the non-Arabs." He said, "One word?" He said, "One word." He said, "What is it?" He said, "There is no god but Allah." He said, "Will you make the gods one god? This is something strange!" So Allah revealed regarding them: "Saad. By the Quran of remembrance. But they wonder that there has come to them a Warner from among themselves. So the disbelievers say, 'This is a strange thing.'" (Quran 38:1-7)
مَرِضَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَجَاءَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَعِنْدَ رَأْسِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مَجْلِسُ رَجُلٍ فَقَامَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ كَيْ يَمْنَعَهُ ذَاكَ وَشَكَوْهُ إِلَى أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ؟ قَالَ «يَا عَمُّ إِنَّمَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُمْ كَلِمَةً تَذِلُّ لَهُمْ بِهَا الْعَرَبُ وَتُؤَدَّى إِلَيْهِمْ بِهَا جِزْيَةُ الْعَجَمِ» قَالَ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ؟ قَالَ «كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ» قَالَ مَا هِيَ؟ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» قَالَ فَقَالُوا أَجَعَلُوا الْآلِهَةَ إِلَهًا وَاحِدًا إِنْ هَذَا لِشَيْءٌ عُجَابٌ؟ قَالَ وَنَزَلَ فِيهِمْ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص 1] حَتَّى بَلَغَ {إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ} [ص 7]
[Machine] "He descended with the Quran which is full of remembrance. [Surah As-Sa'd, verse 1] In them, referring to the companions of the Prophet Muhammad and their gathering, specifically the gathering of Abu Talib and Abu Jahl, along with the gathering of the people of Quraish when they disputed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
نَزَلَ {ص وَالْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ} [ص 1] فِيهِمْ وَفِي مَجْلِسِهِمْ ذَلِكَ يَعْنِي مَجْلِسَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَأَبِي جَهْلٍ وَاجْتِمَاعِ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَيْهِمْ حِينَ نَازَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ
[Machine] The translation into English for the given Arabic sentence is: "It is neither delusion nor escape, correct in its chain of narration and has not been mentioned in any authentic collection."
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَلَاتَ حِينَ مَنَاصٍ} [ص 3] قَالَ «لَيْسَ بِحِينِ نَزْوٍ وَلَا فِرَارٍ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ صحيح
[Machine] What afflicted Dawood what afflicted him after the decree, except out of wonderment with himself. For he said: "O Lord, there is not a single hour of the night or day except that there is a worshipper from the family of Dawood worshipping You, praying to You, glorifying You, and remembering You." Allah disliked that, so he said: "O Dawood, that was not for anyone other than Me. If it were not for My assistance, you would not have been able to handle it and I would have destroyed you in an instant." Dawood said: "O Lord, inform me of this." So, he was afflicted with the trial on that day.
مَا أَصَابَ دَاوُدَ مَا أَصَابَهُ بَعْدَ الْقَدَرِ إِلَّا مِنْ عُجْبٍ عَجِبَ بِهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا مِنْ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ لَيْلٍ وَلَا نَهَارٍ إِلَّا وَعَابِدٍ مِنْ آلِ دَاوُدَ يعَبْدُكَ يُصَلِّي لَكَ أَوْ يُسَبِّحُ أَوْ يُكَبِّرُ وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ فَكَرِهَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا بِي فَلَوْلَا عَوْنِي مَا قَوِيتَ عَلَيْهِ وَجَلَالِي لَأَكِلَنَّكَ إِلَى نَفْسِكَ يَوْمًا» قَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهِ فَأَصَابَتْهُ الْفِتْنَةُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: David ﷺ asked his Lord, 'O Lord, I ask you for your love, the love of those who love you, and the action that will bring me closer to your love. O Lord, make your love dearer to me than myself, my family, and cold water.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whenever David is mentioned and narrated about, it is said, he was the most devout among humans.' This hadith has an authentic chain of narration and was not mentioned by Abdullah ibn Yazid al-Damashqi. These words were said by Ahmad bin Hanbal, who considered them fabricated."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ دَاوُدُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَالْعَمَلَ الَّذِي يُبَلِّغُنِي حُبَّكَ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَهِلِّي وَمِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ دَاوُدَ وَحَدَّثَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «كَانَ أَعْبَدَ الْبَشَرِ» صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ بل عبد الله بن يزيد الدمشقي هذا قال أحمد أحاديثه موضوعة
[Machine] "Prophet Dawud ﷺ suddenly passed away on a Saturday while he used to observe fasting. The birds would gather and shade him." This is according to the narration of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
«مَاتَ دَاوُدُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَجْأَةً يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ وَكَانَ يَسْبِتُ فَتَعْكُفُ عَلَيْهِ الطَّيْرُ فَتُظِلُّهُ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم
[Machine] He is the devil who used to rule from his throne for forty days, and Solomon had a servant called "Jaradah." There was a dispute between some of her people and his people, so he judged between them with justice, except that he wished for the truth to be in favor of her people. Allah then revealed to him that he would be afflicted with a test. He did not know whether it would come to him from the sky or from the earth.
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ جَسَدًا} [ص 34] قَالَ هُوَ الشَّيْطَانُ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ يَقْضِي بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا وَكَانَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جَارِيَةٌ يُقَالَ لَهَا جَرَادَةُ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِهَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ خُصُومَةٌ فَقَضَى بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ وَدَّ أَنَّ الْحَقَّ لِأَهْلِهَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُكَ بَلَاءٌ وَكَانَ لَا يَدْرِي يَأْتِيهِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَوْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, "Indeed, Solomon, son of David, peace be upon both of them, asked Allah for three things and He gave him two, and I hope that He gave him the third. He asked for judgment that aligned with Allah's judgment and He granted it to him. He asked for a kingdom that no one would have after him, and He granted it to him. And he asked for anyone who leaves his house, desiring nothing but to pray in this mosque, meaning the Masjid al-Aqsa, to be forgiven of his sins as if he was born on the same day." The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "And we hope that Allah has granted him that." Abdullah is the son of Firuz, a trustworthy person.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثًا فَأَعْطَاهُ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ أَعْطَاهُ الثَّالِثَةَ؛ سَأَلَهُ حُكْمًا يُصَادِفُ حُكْمَهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَسَأَلَهُ مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَسَأَلَهُ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَنَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ» عبد الله هو ابن فيروز ثقة
