[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
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
“The Prophet ﷺ said to me: ‘Recite Qur’an to me,’ so I recited Surat An-Nisa’ to him, and when I reached (the Verse): “How (will it be) then, when We bring forth from each nation a witness and We bring you as a witness against these people?” [4:41] I looked at him, and his eyes were filled with tears.”
لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْرَأْ عَلَىَّ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِسُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلاَءِ شَهِيدًا} فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَدْمَعَانِ
[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 ﷺ said to me, "Read Surah An-Nisa' to me." So I read until I 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?" He either winked at me or turned his face, and when his eyes filled with tears. ﷺ
لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اقْرَأْ عَلَيَّ سُورَةَ النِّسَاءِ» فَقَرَأْتُ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} قَالَ إِمَّا غَمَزَنِي وَإِمَّا الْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَسِيلَانِ ﷺ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to weep when reciting 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?' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Lord, I have testified against those who are present, so how about those whom I have not seen?'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} بَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «يَا رَبُّ هَذَا شَهِدْتُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَمْ أَرَ؟»
[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»
