S 56 Ayat 39 to 55
قوله تعالى:
ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ -إلى قوله تعالى- فَشٰارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ [39-55]
[Surah Al-Waqi'ah (56): 39–55, Translation by M. H. Shakir]
56:39 A numerous company from among the first, 56:40 And a numerous company from among the last. 56:41 And those on the left hand; how wretched are those on the left hand! 56:42 In hot wind and boiling water, 56:43 And shadow of black smoke, 56:44 Neither cool nor honorable. 56:45 Surely they were before that made to live in ease and plenty. 56:46 And they persisted in the great violation. 56:47 And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised? 56:48 Or our fathers of yore? 56:49 Say: The first and the last, 56:50 Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day. 56:51 Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie! 56:52 Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom, 56:53 And fill (your) bellies with it; 56:54 Then drink over it of boiling water; 56:55 And drink as drinks the thirsty camel.
99-/10420 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ،عَنْ أَسْبَاطٍ،عَنْ سَالِمٍ بَيَّاعِ الزُّطِّيِّ،قَالَ:سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيَّ يَسْأَلُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ* وَ ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ ،قَالَ:« ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ حِزْقِيلُ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ، وَ ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ

Muhammad ibn al-‘Abbas reported: Al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-Tamimi narrated from Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Sayrafi, from Asbat, from Abu Sa‘id al-Madā’ini who said: I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "A multitude from among the first ones, and a multitude from among the later ones" [Surah al-Waqi‘ah 56:39–40], he said:
“A multitude from among the first ones is Ḥizqīl, the believer from the people of Pharaoh; and a multitude from among the later ones is ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) from this nation.”
/10422 _3-علي بن إبراهيم،قوله تعالى: ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ ،قال:من الطبقة الأولى التي كانت مع النبيّ(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله)، وَ ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ ،قال:بعد النبيّ(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله)من هذه الأمة.
وَ أَصْحٰابُ الشِّمٰالِ مٰا أَصْحٰابُ الشِّمٰالِ ،قال:أصحاب الشمال أعداء آل [2]محمد(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله) و أصحابهم الذين والوهم فِي سَمُومٍ وَ حَمِيمٍ ،قال:السموم:اسم النار،و الحميم:ماء قد حمي وَ ظِلٍّ مِنْ يَحْمُومٍ قال:ظلمة شديدة الحر لاٰ بٰارِدٍ وَ لاٰ كَرِيمٍ ،قال:ليس بطيب فَشٰارِبُونَ شُرْبَ الْهِيمِ قال:من الزقوم،و الهيم:الإبل.

And regarding: "And a multitude from among the later ones" [56:40], he said: Those are after the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) from this nation.
And regarding the verse: "And the companions of the left hand, what are the companions of the left hand!" [56:41], he said: The companions of the left hand are the enemies of the family of Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) and their supporters.
“In hot wind and boiling water” [56:42], he said: Samūm is the name of the fire, and ḥamīm is intensely heated water.

“Neither cool nor honorable” [56:44], he said: Not pleasant.
“Then you shall drink as drinks the thirsty camels” [56:55], he said: From the tree of Zaqqūm. And hīm refers to camels that drink excessively.
99-/10423 _4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى،عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ،عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَشْرَبُ الْمَاءَ وَ لاَ يَقْطَعُ نَفَسَهُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى؟قَالَ:
فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«وَ هَلِ اللَّذَّةُ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ؟».
قُلْتُ:فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ،[قَالَ]:فَقَالَ:«كَذَبُوا،إِنَّمَا شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ».
99-/10423 Muhammad ibn Ya‘qūb: From Muhammad ibn Yaḥyā, from one of his companions, from ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Īsā, from a Shaykh from the people of Madinah, who said: I asked Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him) about a man who drinks water and does not pause his breath until he is quenched.
He (peace be upon him) said: “Isn’t that the very essence of pleasure?”
I said: But they say that is shurb al-hīm (the drink of the thirsty camels). He (peace be upon him) said: “They have lied! Shurb al-hīm is that over which the name of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has not been mentioned.”
99-/10424 _5- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ،رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) ،أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ:اَلرَّجُلُ يَشْرَبُ بِنَفَسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟قَالَ:«لاَ بَأْسَ».
قُلْتُ:فَإِنَّ مَنْ قِبَلَنَا يَقُولُ:ذَلِكَ شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ؟فَقَالَ:«إِنَّمَا شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ».
99-/10424 Ibn Bābawayh said: My father narrated to me, he said: Muḥammad ibn Abī al-Qāsim narrated to us, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Alī al-Kūfī, with his chain of transmission, raised it to Abū ‘Abd Allāh (peace be upon him):
It was said to him: A man drinks in a single breath— He (peace be upon him) said: “There is no problem with that.”
I said: But those before us say that is shurb al-hīm (the drink of the thirsty camels). He (peace be upon him) replied: “Indeed, shurb al-hīm is only that over which the name of Allah is not mentioned.”
99-/10425 _6- وَ عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ،عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى،عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ،قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَشْرَبُ فَلاَ يَقْطَعُ حَتَّى يَرْوَى؟فَقَالَ:«وَ هَلْ اللَّذَّةُ إِلاَّ ذَاكَ؟».
قُلْتُ:فَإِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ:إِنَّهُ شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ،فَقَالَ:«كَذَبُوا،إِنَّمَا شُرْبُ الْهِيمِ مَا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ».
99-/10425 And from him, he said: My father narrated to us, he said: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Jaʿfar al-Ḥimyarī narrated to us, from Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Khālid, from ʿUthmān ibn ʿĪsā, from a Shaykh among the people of Madīnah, he said:
I asked Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) about a man who drinks without stopping until he is satisfied.
He (peace be upon him) said: “And is pleasure anything other than that?”
I said: But they say that this is shurb al-hīm (the drink of the thirsty camels). He (peace be upon him) replied: “They lie. Shurb al-hīm is only that over which the name of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is not mentioned.”

99-/10426 And from him, he said: Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Walīd narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṣaffār narrated to us, from Aḥmad and ʿAbd Allāh, the two sons of Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā, from Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr, from Ḥammād ibn ʿUthmān al-Nāb, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAlī al-Ḥalabī, from Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him), he said:
“Three breaths in drinking are better than one single breath.”
And he said: “He used to dislike resembling the hīm.” I said: What is al-hīm? He (peace be upon him) said: “The sand.”
And in another narration, he said: “They are the camels.”
ثُمَّ قَالَ:اِبْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ:سَمِعْتُ شَيْخَنَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ،يَقُولُ:سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارَ يَقُولُ:كُلُّ مَا كَانَ فِي كِتَابِ الْحَلَبِيِّ«وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ»فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ
.
Then Ibn Bābawayh said: I heard our shaykh Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn al-Walīd say: I heard Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṣaffār say: Everything that is in the book of al-Ḥalabī with the words ‘and in another narration’ — that is the statement of Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr.

I asked Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) about a man who drinks in a single breath. He said: “It is disliked, and that is the drinking of al-hīm.” I said: And what is al-hīm? He said: “The camels.”
99-/10428 _9- وَ عَنْهُ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ،عَنِ النَّضْرِ،عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،قَالَ:

النِّيبُ [2]».
99-/10428 And from him: with his chain of transmission, from al-Ḥusayn ibn Saʿīd, from al-Naḍr, from ʿĀṣim ibn Ḥumayd, from Abū Baṣīr, who said:
I heard Abū ʿAbd Allāh (peace be upon him) say: “Three breaths (during drinking) are better than one breath,” and he used to dislike being likened to al-hīm. And he said: “Al-hīm are the nīb (thirst-stricken camels).”
