54. Tafsīr (Exegesis)
٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
[Machine] One of them used to worship the stone, but when he saw something better than it, he threw it and started to worship the other thing.
كَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ يَعْبُدُ الْحَجَرَ فَإِذَا رَأَى مَا هُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُ رَمَى بِهِ وَعَبْدَ الْآخَرَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ} [الجاثية: 24]
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah said, "The offspring of Adam abuse the Dahr (Time), and I am the Dahr; in My Hands are the night and the day." ! (Using translation from Bukhārī 6181)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللهُ يَسُبُّ ابْنُ آدَمَ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ بِيَدِي اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَقَالُوا مَا هِيَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا الدُّنْيَا نَمُوتُ وَنَحْيَا وَمَا يُهْلِكُنَا إِلَّا الدَّهْرُ} [الجاثية: 24]
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not curse time, for indeed Allah is time. Allah said, 'I am the one who controls time. The son of Adam offends me by cursing time, but I am time; in my hands I switch between night and day.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا تَسُبُّوا الدَّهْرَ فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الدَّهْرُ قَالَ اللهُ يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ بِيَدِي الْخَيْرُ أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ تُدْعَى إِلَى كِتَابِهَا} [الجاثية: 28]
[Machine] The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you harmed by seeing the sun when there are clouds around it? And are you harmed by seeing the moon on a full moon night?" They said, "No." He said, "Similarly, you will see Him. Allah will gather the people on the Day of Resurrection and will say, 'Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it.' So, those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, and those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship the false deities will follow the false deities. This Ummah will remain with its hypocrites until Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, comes to them in the form they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then, a bridge will be laid over Hell and I and my Ummah will be the first to pass over it. No one will speak on that Day except the Messengers, and the call of the Messengers on that Day will be, 'O Allah! Grant safety, Grant safety.' In Hell there are hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan?" The people said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "These hooks will be treated as if they are Sa'dan. However, none knows the greatness of its size except Allah. These will snatch the people and throw them into their deeds. When Allah intends to bring out from the Fire anyone who said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and they have in their hearts goodness that they recognize, they will be taken out by the traces of prostration and then they will be drawn into Paradise. By Allah! Certainly, the Fire shall consume no one except it is forbidden upon the son of Adam to eat the traces of the prostration, and they will be taken out of the Fire, burnt and tortured, and then they will be poured on with the Water of Life, and then they will grow in it as a seed grows in the silt carried by floodwater."
قَالَ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ لَيْسَ دُونَهَا سَحَابٌ وَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ؟» قَالُوا لَا قَالَ «فَكَذَلِكَ تَرَوْنَهُ» قَالَ يَجْمَعُ اللهُ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ شَيْئًا فَلْيَتْبَعْهُ فَيَتْبَعُ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ الشَّمْسَ الشَّمْسَ وَيَتْبَعُ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ الْقَمَرَ الْقَمَرَ وَيَتْبَعُ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ الطَّوَاغِيتَ الطَّوَاغِيتَ وَتَبْقَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ بِمُنَافِقِيهَا فَيَأْتِيهِمُ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي الصُّورَةِ الَّتِي يَعْرِفُونَ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا فَيَتْبَعُونَهُ فَيُضْرَبُ الصِّرَاطُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَكُونُ أَنَا وَأُمَّتِي أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُجِيزُ وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُ إِلَّا الرُّسُلُ وَدَعْوَةُ الرُّسُلِ يَوْمَئِذٍ اللهُمَّ سَلَّمْ سَلِّمْ وَفِي جَهَنَّمَ كَلَالِيبُ كَشَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ هَلْ رَأَيْتُمُ السَّعْدَانَ؟ فَإِنَّهُ مِثْلُ شَوْكِ السَّعْدَانِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا قَدْرُ عِظَمِهَا إِلَّا اللهُ فَتَخْطَفُ النَّاسَ بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللهُ ﷻ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ شَاءَ أَمَرَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوا مَنْ كَانَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللهِ شَيْئًا مِمَّنْ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مِمَّنْ أَرَادَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنْ يَرْحَمَهُ فَيَعْرِفُونَهُمْ فِي النَّارِ بِآثَارِ السُّجُودِ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُمْ بِآثَارِ السُّجُودِ حَرَّمَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى النَّارَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَثَرَ السُّجُودِ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ وَقَدِ امْتَحَشُوا فَيُصَبُّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَاءُ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحَبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ مُخْتَصَرٌ
