them said to the others: Ask him about the Soul. They said: Wbat is
your doubt about it? There is a possibility that you may ask him about
anything (the answer of) which you may not like. They said: Ask him.
So one amongst them asked him about the Soul. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) kept quiet and he gave no reply and I came to know
that revelation was being sent to him, so I stood at my place and thus
this revelation descended upon him: "They ask thee 'about Soul. Say:
The Soul is by the Commandment of my Lord, and of Knowledge you are
given but a little" (xvii. 58).

is how Almash has narrated and it was on this occasion that this verse

volley of stones from the sky or inflict upon us a grievous torment,
and it was on this occasion that this verse was revealed:"'Allah would

SELF-SUFFICIENT"

Number 6718:
Abu Huraira reported that
Abu Jahl asked (people) whether Mubammad placed his face (on the
ground) in their presence. It was said to him: Yes. He said : By Lit
and Uzza. If I were to see him do that, I would trample his neck, or I
would beamear his face with dust. He came to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) as he was engaged in prayer and thought of
trampling his neck (and the people say) that he came near him but
turned upon his heels and tried to repulse something with his hands.
It was said to him: What is the matter with you ? He said : There is
between me and him a ditch of fire and terror and wings. Thereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: If he were to come
near me the angels would have torn him to pieces. Then Allah, the
Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse- (the narrator) said: We do
not whether it is the hadith transmitted te Abu Huraira or something
conveyed to him from another source : "Nay, man is surely inordinate,
because he looks upon himself as self-sufficient. Surely to thy Lord
is the return. Hast thou seen him who forbids a servant when he prays
? Seest thou if he is on the right way, or enjoins observance of
piety? Seest thou if he [Abu Jah]] denies and turns away? Knowest he
not that Allah sees? Nay. if he desists not, We will seize him by the
forelock-a lying, sinful forelock. Then let him summon his council. We
will summon the guards of the Hell. Nay! Obey not thou him" (Icvi.
6-19). (Rather prostrate thyself.) Ubaidullah made this addition: It
was after this that (prostration) was enjoined upon and Ibn Abd al-Ala
made this addition that by Nadia he meant his people.
Book 39,
Number 6719:
Masruq reported: We were
sitting in the company of Abdullah and he was lying on the bed that a
person came and said: Abd Abd al-Rabmin, a story-teller at the gates
of Kinda says that the verse (of the Qur'an) which deals with the
"smoke" implies that which is about to come and it would hold the
breath of the infidels and would inflict the believers with cold.
Thereupon Abdullah got up and said in anger. O people, fear Allah and
say only that which one knows amongst you and do not say which he does
not know and he should simply say: Allah has the best knowledge for He
has the best knowledge amongst all of you. It does not behove him to
say that which he does not know. Allah has the best knowledge of it.
Verily Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said to His Prophet (may peace
be upon him) to state:"I do not ask from you any remuneration and I am
not the one to put you in trouble," and when Allah's Mesqenger (may
peace be upon him) saw people turning back(from religion) he said: O
Allah, afflict thern with seven famines as was done in the case of
Yusuf, so they were afflicted with famine by which they were forced to
eat everything until they were obliged to eat the hides and the dead
bodies because of hunger, and every one of them looked towards the sky
and he found a smoke. And Abu Sufyan came and he said: Muhammad, you
have come to command us to obey Allah and cement the ties of blood-
relation whereas your people are undone ; supplicate Allah for tlicm.
Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: "Wait for the day
when there would be clear smoke from the sky which would envelop
people and that would be grievous torivent" up to the words: "you are
going to return to (evil)." (if this verse implied the torment of the
next life) could the chastisement of the next (life) be averted (as
the Qur'an states) : On the day when We seize (them) with the most
violent seizing; surely We shall exact retribution" (xliv. 16) ? The
seizing (in the hadith) implies that of the Day of Badr. And so far as
the sign of smoke, seizing, inevitability and signs of Rome are
concern- ed, they have become things of the past now.
Book 39,
Number 6720:
Masruq reported that
there came to Abdullah a person and said: I have left behind in the
mosque a man who explains the Qur'an according to his personal
discretion and he explained this verse: "So wait for the day when the
Heaven brings a clear smoke." He says that a smoke would come to the
people on the Day of Resurrection anl it will withhold breath and they
would be inflicted with cold. 'Abdullah said: He who has knowledge
should say something and he who has no knowledge should simply say:
Allah is best aware. This reflects the understanding of a person that
he should say about that which he does not know that it is Allah who
knows best. The fact is that when the Quraish disobeyed Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) he supplicated Allah that they should
be afflicted with famine and starvation as was done in case of Yusuf.
And they were so much hard pressed that a person would ace the sky and
he would see between him and the sky something like smoke and they
were so much hard pressed that they began to cat the bones, and a
person came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said:
Allah's Messenger. seek forgiveness for the tribe of Mudar for (its
people) have been undone. The Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
For Mudar? You are overbold, but he supplicated Allah for them. It was
upon this that this verse was revealed: "We shall remove the
chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil" (xliv.
15). lie (the narrator) said: There was a downpoor of rain upon them.
When there was some relief for them they returned to the same position
as they had been before, and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed
this verse: "So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear smoke
enveloping people. This is a grievous torment on the day when We seize
them with the most violent seizing; surely, We shall exact
retribution." And this (seizing) implied (Battle) of Badr.
Book 39,
Number 6721:
Abdullah said that five
signs have (become things) of the past (and have proved the truth of
the Holy Prophet) : (Enveloping) by the smoke, inevitable (punishment
to the Meccans at Badr), (the victory of) Rome, (violent) seizing (of
the Meccans at Badr) and (the splitting up of) the Moon.

Ubayy b. Ka'b reported
that the words of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious: "We will, surely,
make them taste the lesser punishment before the severer punishment
(that haply they may return)" (xxxii. 21) imply the torments of the
world. (victory of) Rome, seizing (of the Meccans), or smoke. And
Shalba was in doubt about seizing or smoke.

confers upon them so many things.

Number 6733:
Anas b. Malik reported
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Allah, the
Exalted and High, would say to one who shall have to undergo the least
torture (on the Day of Resurrection): Would you like to go as ransom
if you had all worldly riches; he would say: Yes. Allah would say to
him: When you were in the loins of Adam, I demadded from you something
easier than this that you should not associate anything with Me. (The
narrator says): I think He also said: I would not cause you to enter
Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity (to others besides
Me).

freedom by paying that? He would say: Yes. Thereupon it would be said
to him: Something easier (than this) was demanded from you (but you
paid no heed to it).
Book 39,
Number 6736:

reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: There is
a tree amongst trees, the leaves of which do not wither and that is
like a Muslim; tell me which that (tree) can be? The people began to
think of the trees of the forest. Abdullah said: I thought that it
could be the date-palm tree, but I felt hesitant (to say that). They
(the Companions) then said: Allah's Messenger, (kindly) tell us which
that can be? Thereupon he said:It is the date-palm tree. I made a
mention of that to 'Umar, whereupon he said: Had you said that it
meant the date-palin tree, this statement of yours (would have been
dearer to me) than such and such things.
Book 39,
Number 6748:
Ibn Umar reported that
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) one day said to his
Companions: Tell me about a tree which has resemblance with a
believer. The people began to mention (different) trees of the forest.
Ibn 'Umar said: It was instilled in my mind or in my heart and it
stuck therein that it implied the date- palm tree. I made up my mind
to make a mention of that but could not do that because of the
presence of the elderly people there. When there was a hush amongst
them (after they had expressed their views), Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said: It Is the date-palm tree.

had stated like this: It constantly bears fruit but I have, however,
seen [It does not bear fruit constantly]. Ibn Umar said: It crossed my
mind that it could be the date-palm tree, but as I saw Aba Bakr and
Umar observe silence, I did not deem it fit that I should speak or I
should say something. 'Umar said: Had you said so, it would have been
dearer to me than such and such thing.
