54. Tafsīr (Exegesis)
٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has made a parable of the straight path: At the sides of the path there are walls with open doors, each door having a curtain. There is a caller at the head of the path calling, and a caller above it calling. And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whomever He wills to the straight path. The doors which are on the sides of the path are the Hudud (legal limitations) of Allah; no one breaches the Hudud of Allah except that curtain is lifted, and the one calling from above it is his Lord." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2859)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ضَرَبَ مَثَلًا صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الصِّرَاطِ سُورَانِ لَهُمَا أَبْوَابٌ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَعَلَى الْأَبْوَابِ سُورٌ وَدَاعٍ يَدْعُو عَلَى رَأْسِ الصِّرَاطِ وَدَاعٍ يَدْعُو مِنْ فَوْقِهِ {وَاللهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ} [يونس 25] فَالْأَبْوَابُ الَّتِي عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الصِّرَاطِ حُدُودُ اللهِ لَا يَقَعُ أَحَدٌ فِي حُدُودِ اللهِ حَتَّى يَكْشِفَ سِتْرَ اللهِ وَالَّذِي يَدْعُو مِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَاعِظُ اللهِ ﷻ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى} [يونس: 26]
"The Messenger of Allah recited this Verse: 'For those who have done good is the best reward and even more.' Then he said: 'When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, a caller will cry out: "O people of Paradise! You have a covenant with Allah and He wants to fulfill it." They will say: "What is it?" Has Allah not made the Balance (of our good deeds) heavy, and made our faces bright, and admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?" Then the Veil will be lifted and they will look upon Him, and by Allah, Allah will not give them anything that is more beloved to them or delightful, than looking upon Him.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 187)
قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌ} [يونس 26] قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ نَادَى مُنَادٍ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَمْ مَوْعِدًا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُنْجِزَكُمُوهُ قَالُوا أَلَمْ يُبَيِّضْ وُجُوهَنَا وَيُثَقِّلْ مَوَازِينَنَا وَيُدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ وَيُجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ؟ قَالَ فَيَكْشِفُ الْحِجَابَ فَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَوَاللهِ مَا أَعْطَاهُمُ اللهُ شَيْئًا أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ وَلَا أَقَرَّ لِأَعْيُنِهِمْ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ} [يونس: 62]
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ was asked and Ibrahim asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who are the friends of Allah? He said, "Those who, when they are seen, Allah is mentioned."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سُئِلَ وَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الَّذِينَ إِذَا رُءُوا ذُكِرَ اللهُ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ} [يونس: 62]
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, among the servants there are servants whom the Prophets and the martyrs envy." It was said, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "They are a people who love one another for the sake of Allah, without wealth or lineage. Their faces are light, meaning they are upon pulpits of light. They do not fear when people fear, nor do they grieve when people grieve." Then he recited this verse: "No doubt! Verily, the Awliya' of Allah [i.e. those who believe in the Oneness of Allah and fear Allah much, love Allah much, do righteous deeds, and believe in His Promise of Paradise] there shall be no fear upon them nor shall they grieve." [Yunus 62]
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ عِبَادًا يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ» قِيلَ مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «هُمْ قَوْمٌ تَحَابُّوا بِرُوحِ اللهِ عَلَى غَيْرِ أَمْوَالٍ وَلَا أَنْسَابٍ وُجُوهُهُمْ نُورٌ يَعْنِي عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ لَا يَخَافُونَ إِنْ خَافَ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَحْزَنُونَ إِنْ حَزِنَ النَّاسُ» ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ} [يونس 62]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَجَاوَزْنَا بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ} [الأعراف: 138]
When the Prophet ﷺ came to Medina, he found the Jews observing fast on the day of 'Ashurah; so they were asked about it (by the Prophet). They said: This is a day on which Allah gave Moses domination over Pharaoh. We fast on it out of reverence to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: We have a closer connection with Moses than you have. He then gave orders that it should be observed. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2444)
لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْمَدِينَةَ وَجَدَ الْيَهُودَ يَصُومُونَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَسُئِلُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَظْهَرَ اللهُ فِيهِ مُوسَى وَبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَنَحْنُ نَصُومُهُ تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِمُوسَى مِنْكُمْ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قَالَ آمَنْتُ} [يونس: 90]
[Machine] "Narrated by Ibn Abbas, a person raised him to the Prophet ﷺ and said, 'Verily, Jibril used to put clay in the mouth of Pharaoh as a precautionary measure, fearing that he might say: There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah.'"
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَفَعَهُ أَحَدُهُمَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ كَانَ يَدُسُّ فِي فَمِ فِرْعَوْنَ الطِّينَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ
