٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَيْءٍ إِنِّي فَاعِلٌ ذَلِكَ غَدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللهُ} [الكهف: 24]
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ narrated that Sulaiman bin Dawud (peace be upon both of them) said, "I will go around tonight to visit 100 women, and each woman will come with a man who will strike with a sword without saying 'If Allah wills'. So, he went around them and one woman came with half a child. If Sulaiman had said 'If Allah wills', it would not have happened."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ لَأَطُوفَنَّ اللَّيْلَةَ عَلَى مِائَةِ امْرَأَةٍ فَتَأْتِي كُلُّ امْرَأَةٍ بِرَجُلٍ يَضْرِبُ بِالسَّيْفِ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ إِنَّ شَاءَ اللهُ فَطَافَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَجَاءَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ بِنِصْفِ وَلَدٍ وَلَوْ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّ شَاءَ اللهُ لَكَانَ مَا قَالَ
قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ: {لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ} [الكهف: 39]
"The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me: "Shall I not tell you of a treasure which is one of the treasures of Paradise?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).'" (sahih) (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3825)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ تَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَحَشَرْنَاهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا} [الكهف: 47]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The people will be gathered barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will the men and the women look at each other?" He said, "The situation will be too hard for them to pay attention to that." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6527)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «تُحْشَرُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْأَمْرُ أَشَدُّ مِنْ أَنْ يُهِمَّهُمْ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا} [الكهف: 54]
O Messenger of Allah, our souls are in the hand of Allah and if He wills to wake us up, He will wake us up. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left when I said that to him and I heard him, as he was leaving, strike his hand against his thigh and say: ʿBut, man is ever more quarrelsome than anythingʿ (al-Kahf:18:54). (Using translation from Aḥmad 575)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ طَرَقَهُ وَفَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا تُصَلُّونَ؟» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللهِ فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهَا بَعْثَهَا فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُدْبِرٌ يَضْرِبُ فَخِذَهُ وَيَقُولُ {وَكَانَ الْإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَيْءٍ جَدَلًا} [الكهف 54]
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {قَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أَبْلَغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ} [الكهف: 60]
[Machine] "That no one had been given the knowledge that he had been given, and Allah taught him what he had not known. He said to him, 'O Moses, is there anyone among your servants whom you have given knowledge that I have not been given?' He said, 'O Lord, from your servants?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then show me this man whom you have given knowledge that I have not been given so that I may learn from him.' He said, 'Follow me.' He said to his attendant, 'Bring me a fish, for I have indeed become fatigued.' And when they had passed beyond it, he said to his attendant, 'Bring us our meal. We have certainly suffered fatigue in this, our journey.' He said, 'Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot the fish - and none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly. So when they had passed beyond it, he said to his attendant, 'Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue.' He said, 'Do you remember when we took refuge on the rock, and I forgot the fish - and none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it? And it took its course into the sea, into an amazing pathway.' Moses said, 'That is what we were seeking.' So they returned, following their footprints. And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom We had given mercy from Us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge. Moses said to him, 'May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?' He said, 'Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience. And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?' [Moses] said, 'You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order.' He said, 'Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention.' So they set out, until when they embarked on the ship, al-Khidr tore it open. [Moses] said, 'Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing.' [Al-Khidr] said, 'Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?' [Moses] said, 'Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty.' So they set out, until when they met a boy, al-Khidr killed him. [Moses] said, 'Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing.' [Al-Khidr] said, 'Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?' [Moses] said, 'If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse.' So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al-Khidr restored it. [Moses] said, 'If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment.' [Al-Khidr] said, 'This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience. As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force. And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief. So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy. And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا هَذَا نَصَبًا} [الكهف: 62]
Moses had been delivering sermons to his people. And he made this remark: No person upon the earth has better knowledge than I or nothing better than mine. Thereupon Allah revealed to him: I know one who is better than you (in knowledge) or there is a person on the earth having more knowledge than you. Thereupon he said: My Lord, direct me to him. It was said to him: Keep a salted fish as a provision for journey. The place where that fish would be lost (there you will find that man). So he set forth and a young slave along with him until they came to a place Sakhra. but he did not find any clue. So he proceeded on and left that young man there. The fish began to stir in water and the water assumed the form of an ark over the fish. The young man said: I should meet Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) and inform him, but he was made to forget and when they had gone beyond that place, he (Moses) said to the young man: Bring breakfast. We have been exhausted because of the journey, and he (Moses) was not exhausted until he had crossed that (particular) place (where he had) to meet Khadir, and the youth was reminded and said: Did you not see that as we reached Sakhra I forgot the fish and it is satan alone who has made me forgetful of it'? It is strange that he has been able to find way in the ocean too. He said: This is what we sought for us. They returned retracing their steps, and he (his companion) pointed to him the location (where) the fish (had been lost). Moses began to search him there. He suddenly saw Khadir wrapped in a cloth and lying on his back. He said to him: As-Salamu-'Alaikum. He removed the cloth from his face and said: Wa 'Alaikum-us-Salam! Who are you? He said: I am Moses. He said: Who Moses? He said: Moses Of Bani Isra'il. He said: What brought you here? He said: I have come so that you may teach me what you have been taught of righteousness. He said: You shall have to bear with me, and how can you have patience about a thing of which you have no comprehensive knowledge? You will not have patience when you see me doing a thing I have been ordered to do. He said: If Allah pleases, you will find me patient, nor shall I disobey you in aught. Khadir said: If you follow me, don't ask me about anything until I explain it to you. So they went on until they embarked upon a boat. He (Khadir) made a hole in that. Thereupon he (Moses) said: You have done this so that you may drown the persons sitting in the boat. You have done something grievous. Thereupon he said: Did I not tell you that you will not be able to bear with me? Thereupon he (Moses) said: Blame me not for what I forgot and be not hard upon me for what I did. (Khadir gave him another chance.) So they went on until they reached a place where boys were playing. He went to one of them and caught hold'of one (apparently) at random and killed him. Moses (peace be upon him) felt agitated and said: You have killed an innocent person not guilty of slaying another. You have done something aboininable. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: May Allah have mercy upon us and Moses. Had he shown patience he would have seen wonderful things, but fear of blame, with respect to his companion, seized him and he said: If I ask anything after this, keep not company with me. You will then have a valid excuse in my case, and had he (Moses) shown patience he would have seen many wonderful things. He (the narrator) said: Whenever he (the Holy Prophet) made mention of any Prophet, he always said: May there be mercy of Allah upon us and upon my brother so and so. They, however, proceeded on until they came to the inhabitants of a village who were very miserly. They went to the meeting places and asked for hospitality but they refused to show any hospitality to them. They both found in that village a wall which was about to fall. He (Khadir) set it right. Thereupon he (Moses) said: If you so liked. you could get wages for it. Thereupon he said: This is the partince, of ways between me and you, and, taking hold of his cloth, he said: Now I will explain to you the real significance (of all these acts) for which you could not show patience. As for the boat, it belonged to the poor people working on the river and I intended to damage it for there was ahead of them (a king) who seized boats by force. (When he came) to catch hold of it he found it a damaged boat, so he spared it (and later on) it was set right with wood. So far as the boy is concerned, he has been, by very nature, an unbeliever, whereas his parents loved him very much. Had he grown up he would have involved them in wrongdoing and unbelief, so we wished that their Lord should give them in its place one better in purity and close to mercy. And as for the wall it belonged to two orphan boys in the city and there was beneath it a (treasure) belongin to them,... up to the last verse. (Using translation from Muslim 2380c)

I said to Ibn ʿAbbas, "Nauf-Al-Bakali claims that Moses (the companion of Khadir) was not the Moses of Bani Israel but he was another Moses." Ibn ʿAbbas remarked that the enemy of Allah (Nauf) was a liar. Narrated Ubai bin Kaʿb: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Once the Prophet ﷺ Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah said: Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish. So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yushaʿ bin Noon and carried a fish in a large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept. The fish came out of the basket and it took its way into the sea as in a tunnel. So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey." Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy told Moses, "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish." Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking. So they went back retracing their footsteps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment). Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your land?" Moses said, "I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative and added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know, while you have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah willing, you will find me patient and I will disobey no order of yours. So both of them set out walking along the seashore, as they did not have a boat. In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare. Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak." Al- Khadir went to one of the planks of the boat and plucked it out. Moses said, "These people gave us a free lift but you have broken their boat and scuttled it so as to drown its people." Al-Khadir replied, "Didn't I tell you that you will not be able to remain patient with me." Moses said, "Call me not to account for what I forgot." The first (excuse) of Moses was that he had forgotten. Then they proceeded further and found a boy playing with other boys. Al-Khadir took hold of the boy's head from the top and plucked it out with his hands (i.e. killed him). Moses said, "Have you killed an innocent soul who has killed none." Al-Khadir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then they both proceeded till when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it with his own hands. Moses said, "If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied, "This is the parting between you and me." The Prophet added, "May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he could have been more patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir. " (Using translation from Bukhārī 122)

That he differed with Hur bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari regarding the companion of (the Prophet) Moses. Ibn ʿAbbas said that he was Al Khadir. Meanwhile, Ubai bin Kaʿb passed by them and Ibn ʿAbbas called him, saying "My friend (Hur) and I have differed regarding Moses' companion, whom Moses asked the way to meet. Have you heard the Prophet ﷺ mentioning something about him? He said, "Yes. I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites, a man came and asked him. "Do you know anyone who is more learned than you? Moses replied: "No." So Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave Khadir (is more learned than you.)' Moses asked (Allah) how to meet him (Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to him: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went back retracing their footsteps, and found Khadir. (And) what happened further to them is narrated in the Holy Qur'an by Allah. (18.54 up to 18.82) (Using translation from Bukhārī 74)

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا} [الكهف: 76]
[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , used to invoke blessings upon someone he mentioned by starting with himself and saying, "May the mercy of Allah be upon us and upon Moses. If he had stayed with his companion, he would have witnessed something amazing, but he said, 'If I ask you about anything after it, do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained an excuse from me.'" [Surah Al-Kahf 76]
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَكَرَ أَحَدًا فَدَعَا لَهُ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى مُوسَى لَوْ لَبِثَ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ لَأَبْصَرَ الْعَجَبَ العاجب وَلَكِنَّهُ قَالَ {إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ عَنْ شَيْءٍ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَاحِبْنِي قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِنْ لَدُنِّي} [الكهف 76] عُذْرًا
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا} [الكهف: 95]
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up red in the face and said: ‘La ilaha illallah, woe to the Arabs from an evil that has drawn nigh. Today a hole has been opened in the barrier of Gog and Magog.’ And he gestured to indicate the size of the hole.” Zainab said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Will we be destroyed when there are righteous people among us?’ He said: ‘If sin and evil deeds increase.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3953)
انْتَبَهَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَوْمٍ مُحْمَرًّا وَجْهُهُ وَهُو يَقُولُ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَبِ مِنْ شَرٍّ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فُتِحَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَدْمِ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مِثْلُ هَذَا» وَعَقَدَ سَبْعِينَ وَعَشَرَةً سَوَاءً قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَنَهْلِكُ وَفِينَا الصَّالِحُونَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا كَثُرَ الْخَبَثُ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَنُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ} [الكهف: 99]
"A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'What is the Sur?' He said: 'A horn that will be blown into'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2430)
قَالَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا الصُّورُ؟ قَالَ «قَرْنٌ يُنْفَخُ فِيهِ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا} [الكهف: 103]
[Machine] About this verse "Say, shall we inform you of the greatest losers in their deeds?" [Surah Al-Kahf 103], are they the haruriyya (a sect)? He said, no, they are the People of the Book. As for the Jews, they disbelieved in Muhammad ﷺ , and the Christians disbelieved in Paradise. They said, it does not contain food or drink, but rather the haruriyya, who Allah ﷻ said, "And they prevent what Allah has ordered to be sustained and they corrupt on the earth." [Surah Al-Baqarah 27], they are the corrupt ones, he said, "Thus I have memorized it, Saad used to call them the corrupt ones."
عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا} [الكهف 103] أَهُمُ الْحَرُورِيَّةُ؟ قَالَ لَا هُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ أَمَّا الْيَهُودُ فَكَفَرُوا بِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَأَمَّا النَّصَارَى فَكَفَرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا لَيْسَ فِيهَا طَعَامٌ وَلَا شَرَابٌ وَلَكِنَّ الْحَرُورِيَّةَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ {وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوَصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ} [البقرة 27] إِلَى الْفَاسِقِينَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ هَكَذَا حَفِظْتُ كَانَ سَعْدٌ يُسَمِّيهِمُ الْفَاسِقِينَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِمَاتُ رَبِّي} [الكهف: 109]
"The Quraish said to the Jews: 'Give us something that we can ask this man about.' So he said: 'Ask him about the Ruh.' So they asked him about the Ruh. So Allah Most High, revealed: They ask you concerning the Ruh. Say: The Ruh is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you have been given only a little (17:85). They replied: 'We have been given immense knowledge, we were given the Tawrah, and whoever has been given the Tawrah, then he has indeed been given a wealth of knowledge.' So the following was revealed: Say: 'If the sea were ink for the Words of my Lord, surely the sea would be exhausted (before the Words of my Lord would be finished.) (18:109)'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3140)
قُرَيْشٌ لِلْيَهُودِ أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ بِهِ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالُوا سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَنَزَلَتْ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} [الإسراء 85] قَالُوا أُوتِينَا عِلْمًا كَثِيرًا أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ وَمَنْ أُوتِيَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ} [الكهف 109]
