So how ˹will it be˺ when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, ˹O Muhammad˺ against these ˹people˺ as a witness?
فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا
So how ˹will it be˺ when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, ˹O Muhammad˺ against these ˹people˺ as a witness?
فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا
[Machine] "I recited to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Surah An-Nisa, and when I reached this verse: 'So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness' [Quran 4:41], his eyes welled up with tears."
قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41] قَالَ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ ﷺ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said to him, "Read." So he began Surah An-Nisa' until he reached the verse, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad], against these as a witness?" His eyes filled with tears and he said, "Enough for us."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «اقْرَأْ» فَافْتَتَحَ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} الْآيَةُ دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَقَالَ «حَسْبُنَا»
[Machine] Ibn Masud, I recited Surah An-Nisa to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and when I came to this verse, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness?" His eyes overflowed with tears.
ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ فَلَمَّا أَتَيْتُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} فَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ
[Machine] In his saying, "And a witness and a witnessed" [Surah Al-Buruj, verse 3], the witness is Muhammad ﷺ and the witnessed is the Day of Judgment. And this is His saying, "So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you [O Muhammad] against these as a witness?" [Surah An-Nisa, verse 41].
فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ} [البروج 3] قَالَ الشَّاهِدُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَالْمَشْهُودُ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} [النساء 41]
