54. Tafsīr (Exegesis)
٥٤۔ كِتَابُ التَّفْسِيرِ
[Machine] "Oh my son, you reminded me of reading this Surah. It is the last Surah I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ reciting in the Maghrib prayer."
«يَا بُنَيَّ ذَكَّرْتَنِي بِقِرَاءَةِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ إِنَّهَا لَآخِرُ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ بِهَا فِي الْمَغْرِبِ»
[Machine] We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a cave, and the female messengers were sent down upon him. We used to receive revelation from within the cave when a snake came out towards us, so we killed it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Your evil has been averted just as its evil was averted." Al-A'mash added in his narration: Abdullah said, "We used to receive revelation from within the cave in a moist atmosphere." Abu Abdur-Rahman disagreed with him, and said that Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated it from Al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad.
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَارٍ وَأُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا فَإِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ إِذْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْنَا حَيَّةٌ فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَدَخَلَتْ جُحْرَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «وُقِيَتْ شَرَّكُمْ كَمَا وُقِيتُمْ شَرَّهَا» زَادَ الْأَعْمَشُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِنَّا لَنَتَلَقَّاهَا مِنْ فِيهِ رَطْبَةً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ
"We were with the Messenger of Allah in Al-Khaif, which is in Mina, when the following was revealed: 'By the winds sent forth one after another.' A snake came out, and the Messenger of Allah said: 'Kill it.' So they rushed to kill, but it went back into its hole." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2883)
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْخَيْفِ مِنْ مِنًى حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} [المرسلات 1] فَخَرَجَتْ حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «اقْتُلُوهَا» فَابْتَدَرْنَاهَا فَدَخَلَتْ فِي جُحْرِهَا
