54. Tafsīr (Exegesis)
٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by two graves and said, "Both of them (persons in the grave) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil things). The Prophet ﷺ then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted one on each grave and said, "It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get dried." (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1). (Using translation from Bukhārī 6052)
مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ أَمَّا هَذَا فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ» ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعَسِيبٍ رَطْبٍ فَشَقَّهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ فَغَرَسَ عَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدًا وَعَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا»
I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A tale-bearer will not enter Jannah." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6056)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّاتٌ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ} [القلم: 13]
I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Shall I tell you of the people of Paradise? They comprise every poor humble person, and if he swears by Allah to do something, Allah will fulfill it; while the people of the fire comprise every violent, cruel arrogant person." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6657)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ ضَعِيفٍ مُتَضَعِّفٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ» وَقَالَ «أَهْلُ النَّارِ كُلُّ جَوَّاظٍ عُتُلٍّ مُسْتَكْبِرٍ»
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ} [القلم: 13]
(regarding the Verse):-- 'Cruel after all that, base-born (of illegitimate birth).' (68.13) It was revealed in connection with a man from Quaraish who had a notable sign (Zanamah) similar to the notable sign which usually-hung on the neck of a sheep (to recognize it). (Using translation from Bukhārī 4917)
فِي قَوْلِهِ {§عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ} [القلم 13] قَالَ «رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ زَنَمَةٌ مِثْلُ زَنَمَةِ الشَّاةِ»
