٢٣۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
[Machine] "Mutatābi‘ātin" translates to "successive" in English.
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا} [الحاقة 7] قَالَ «مُتَتَابِعَاتٍ»
[Machine] “They will have upon them dust of humility and disgrace. This is their recompense, the words of Allah Almighty: 'On the Day the faces will be humbled, burdened by dust.'” [Surah Abasa, 41]
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً} [الحاقة 14] قَالَ يَصِيرَانِ غَبَرَةً عَلَى وُجُوهِ الْكُفَّارِ لَا عَلَى وُجُوهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ} [عبس 41]
[Machine] "Eight angels in the form of wheels, with their rims reaching to their knees, journeyed for a distance of sixty-three years."
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ} [الحاقة 17] قَالَ «ثَمَانِيَةُ أَمْلَاكٍ عَلَى صُورَةِ الْأَوْعَالِ بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِمْ إِلَى رُكَبِهِمْ مَسِيرَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَسِتِّينَ سَنَةً»
[Machine] We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Al-Bat'ha when a cloud passed by. He looked at it and asked them, "Do you know what this is called?" They said, "Yes, it is called a cloud." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And it is called Al-Muzn." They said, "And it is called Al-Muzn." He then said, "Do you know what is between the heavens and the earth?" They said, "No." He said, "The distance between them is either one, two, or three seventy years. And above that is the sky, and Allah is above that. Nothing is hidden from Him regarding the actions of the children of Adam. In the seventh heaven, there are eight celestial dwellings, each with spaces between its ridges and joints like the distance between one sky and another."
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ إِذْ مَرَّتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا اسْمُ هَذِهِ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ هَذِهِ السَّحَابُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالْمُزْنُ» قَالُوا وَالْمُزْنُ قَالَ «وَالْعَنَانَةُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «تَدْرُونَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَإِنَّ بُعْدَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِمَّا وَاحِدًا أَوِ اثْنَيْنِ وَإِمَّا ثَلَاثًا وَسَبْعِينَ سَنَةً وَالسَّمَاءُ فَوْقَهَا كَذَلِكَ وَاللَّهُ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ لَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ بَنِي آدَمَ شَيْءٌ وَفِي السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَوْعَالٍ بَيْنَ أَظْلَافِهِنَّ وَرُكَبِهِنَّ مِثْلُ مَا بَيْنَ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ»
[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ, in Surah Al-Kahf (29), it is narrated that he said, "Like a drop of water falling from a pitcher, when it is close to it, a portion of his face will fall. Even if a bucket of my washing water is poured onto the earth, it will be sufficient for the people of this world."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ} [الكهف 29] قَالَ «كَعَكَرِ الزَّيْتِ فَإِذَا قُرِّبَ إِلَيْهِ سَقَطَتْ فَرْوَةُ وَجْهِهِ وَلَوْ أَنَّ دَلْوًا مِنْ غِسْلِينَ يُهَرَاقُ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَأَنْتَنَ بِأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا»
[Machine] "Then We will cut from it the [life] artery." [Al-Haqqah 46]
{ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ} [الحاقة 46] قَالَ «نِيَاطُ الْقَلْبِ»
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ} [الحاقة 46] قَالَ «هُوَ حَبْلُ الْقَلْبِ الَّذِي فِي الظَّهْرِ»
[Machine] "What are the khātūn? They are khāti'ūn (sinners). What are the ṣābūn? They are ṣābi'ūn."
«مَا الْخَاطُونَ؟ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الْخَاطِئُونَ مَا الصَّابُونَ؟ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الصَّابِئُونَ»
