Al-Anbiya Ayah 95

و الحديث طويل،ذكرناه بطوله في قوله تعالى: أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ عَلىٰ قَرْيَةٍ وَ هِيَ خٰاوِيَةٌ عَلىٰ عُرُوشِهٰا ،من سورة البقرة [1].

Translation: The report is lengthy; we have cited it in full under His statement: “Or like him who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs,” from Surah al-Baqarah [Quran 2:259]. M. H. Shakir: Or the like of him who passed by a town, and it had fallen down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its death? So Allah made him die for a hundred years, then raised him to life. He said: How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a day, or part of a day. He said: Nay! you have tarried a hundred years; then look at your food and drink—years have not passed over it; and look at your donkey; and that We may make you a sign to men; and look at the bones—how We assemble them together, then clothe them with flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has power over all things.

99-/7194 _6- ابْنُ شَهْرَ آشُوبٍ:عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ(عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ)-فِي خَبَرِ وَفَاةِ أَبِيهِ-: «وَ لَقَدْ صُعِدَ بِرُوحِهِ-يَعْنِي بِرُوحِ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)-فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي صُعِدَ فِيهَا بِرُوحِ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)».

99-/7194 _6- Translation: Ibn Shahrāshūb, from al-Hasan ibn ‘Alī (peace be upon them), regarding the account of his father’s death: “Indeed, his soul—meaning the soul of his father ‘Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (peace be upon him)—was taken up on the very night that the soul of Yaḥyā ibn Zakarīyā (peace be upon him) was taken up.”

/7195 _7- علي بن إبراهيم،قال:قوله تعالى: يَدْعُونَنٰا رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً قال:راغبين راهبين.

99-/7195 _7- Translation: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said, regarding His saying: “They call on Us in hope and fear”: it means “as hopeful and fearful.” [Quran 21:90] M. H. Shakir: So We responded to him, and gave him Yaḥya and made his wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with another, in deeds of goodness and call upon Us in hope and in fear, and they were humble before Us.

/7196 _8- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى النَّوْفَلِيُّ،بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)لَمَّا بَارَزَ عَلِيٌّ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)عَمْراً رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ:«اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَخَذْتَ مِنِّي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ،وَ أَخَذْتَ مِنِّي حَمْزَةَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ،وَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ فَلاَ تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ».

99-/7196 _8- Translation: Muḥammad ibn al-‘Abbās said: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Nawfalī narrated to us, with his chain, from ‘Alī ibn Dāwūd, who said: A man from the descendants of Rabī‘a ibn ‘Abd Manāf narrated to me that when ‘Alī (peace be upon him) confronted ‘Amr (in single combat), the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family) raised his hands and then said: “O Allah, You took from me ‘Ubaydah ibn al-Ḥārith on the Day of Badr, and You took from me Ḥamzah on the Day of Uḥud, and this is ‘Alī—so do not leave me solitary, and You are the best of inheritors.”

قوله تعالى:

وَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهٰا -إلى قوله تعالى- فَلاٰ كُفْرٰانَ لِسَعْيِهِ [91-94]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He: “And she who guarded her chastity … to … then there is no denying of his striving.” [Quran 21:91-94] M. H. Shakir:

21:91 And she who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her of Our inspiration and made her and her son a sign for the nations.

21:92 Surely this your community is a single community, and I am your Lord, therefore serve Me.

21:93 And they broke their religion among them: to Us shall all come back.

21:94 Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion, and surely We will write it down for him.

/7197 _1- علي بن إبراهيم،في قوله تعالى: وَ الَّتِي أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَهٰا قال:مريم،لم ينظر إليها بشر،قال:

قوله تعالى: فَنَفَخْنٰا فِيهٰا مِنْ رُوحِنٰا قال [2]:ريح مخلوقة،قال:يعني من أمرنا. قال:قوله تعالى: فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصّٰالِحٰاتِ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلاٰ كُفْرٰانَ لِسَعْيِهِ أي لا يبطل سعيه.

99-/7197 _1- Translation: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said, regarding His saying: “And she who guarded her chastity”: it refers to Mary; no man looked upon her. Regarding His saying: “So We breathed into her of Our spirit,” he said [2]: a created breeze; that is, from Our command. And regarding His saying: “Therefore whoever shall do of good deeds and he is a believer, there shall be no denying of his exertion”—that is, his striving will not be rendered void.

قوله تعالى:

وَ حَرٰامٌ عَلىٰ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنٰاهٰا أَنَّهُمْ لاٰ يَرْجِعُونَ [95]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He: “And it is forbidden to a town which We have destroyed that they shall not return.” [Quran 21:95] M. H. Shakir: And it is binding on a town which We destroy that they shall not return.

99-/7198 _2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ) قَالاَ:كُلُّ قَرْيَهٍ أَهْلَكَ اللَّهُ أَهْلَهُ بِالْعَذَابِ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ فِي الرَّجْعَةِ فَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الدَّلاَلَةِ فِي الرَّجْعَةِ لِأَنَّ أَحَداً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلاَمِ لاَ يُنْكِرُ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَهْلِكْ فَقُولُهُ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ عَنَى فِي الرَّجْعَةِ فَأَمَّا إِلَى الْقِيَامَةِ يَرْجِعُونَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا النَّارَ .

99-/7198 _2- Translation: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said: My father narrated to me, from Ibn Abī ‘Umayr, from Ibn Sinān, from Abū Baṣīr and Muḥammad ibn Muslim, from Abū ‘Abdillāh and Abū Ja‘far (peace be upon them), who said: Every town whose people Allah destroyed with punishment—they do not return in the raj‘ah (return before the Resurrection). So this verse is among the greatest proofs for the raj‘ah, for none among the people of Islam denies that all people will return to the Resurrection—those who perished and those who did not. Thus His statement “they shall not return” means in the raj‘ah; as for to the Resurrection, they will return until they enter the Fire.

/7199 _1- بعض المعاصرين في كتاب له في الرجعة:بالإسناد،في قوله تعالى: وَ حَرٰامٌ عَلىٰ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنٰاهٰا أَنَّهُمْ لاٰ يَرْجِعُونَ .

قَالَ الصَّادِقُ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «كُلُّ قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكَ اللَّهُ أَهْلَهَا بِالْعَذَابِ لاَ يَرْجِعُونَ فِي [1] الرَّجْعَةِ،وَ أَمَّا فِي الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَرْجِعُونَ،وَ مَنْ مَحَضَ الْإِيمَانَ مَحْضاً،وَ غَيْرُهُمْ مِمَّنْ لَمْ يَهْلِكُوا بِالْعَذَابِ وَ مَحَضُوا الْكُفْرَ مَحْضاً يَرْجِعُونَ».

99-/7199 _1- Translation: One of the contemporaries, in a book of his on the raj‘ah, with his chain, regarding His saying: “And it is forbidden to a town which We have destroyed that they shall not return,” reports that al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him) said: “Every town whose people Allah destroyed with punishment—they do not return in the raj‘ah; but as for the Resurrection, they do return. And those who have purified faith purely, and others among those who were not destroyed by punishment and who have purified unbelief purely—they return.”

قوله تعالى:

حَتّٰى إِذٰا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَ مَأْجُوجُ وَ هُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ [96]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He: “Until when the Gog and the Magog are let loose and they shall break forth from every elevated place.” [Quran 21:96] M. H. Shakir.

99-/7200 _2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ،عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى،عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ-فِي حَدِيثِ خَبَرِ ذِي الْقَرْنَيْنِ ،وَ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ فِي سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ [2]-قَالَ فِيهِ:«إِذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ انْهَدَمَ ذَلِكَ السَّدُّ،وَ خَرَجَ يَأْجُوجُ وَ مَأْجُوجُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا،وَ أَكَلُوا النَّاسَ،وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى:

حَتّٰى إِذٰا فُتِحَتْ يَأْجُوجُ وَ مَأْجُوجُ وَ هُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ حَدَبٍ يَنْسِلُونَ ».

99-/7200 _2- Translation: ‘Alī ibn Ibrāhīm said: Ja‘far ibn Aḥmad narrated to us, from ‘Ubaydullāh ibn Mūsā, from al-Ḥusayn ibn ‘Alī ibn Abī Ḥamzah, from his father, from Abū Baṣīr—in the report about Dhū al-Qarnayn, already given under Sūrat al-Kahf [2]—that he said in it: “When it is before the Day of Resurrection, at the end of time, that barrier will collapse, and Gog and Magog will come out into the world and devour the people—and that is His saying, exalted is He: ‘Until when the Gog and the Magog are let loose and they shall break forth from every elevated place.’”

/7201 _3- علي بن إبراهيم،قال:إذا كان في آخر الزمان خرج يأجوج و مأجوج إلى الدنيا،و يأكلون الناس.

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّكُمْ وَ مٰا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ -إلى قوله تعالى- هٰذٰا يَوْمُكُمُ الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ [98-103]

Translation: His saying, exalted is He: “Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the firewood of hell … to … This is your day which you were promised.” [Quran 21:98-103] M. H. Shakir:

21:98 Surely you and what you worship besides Allah are the firewood of hell; to it you shall come.

21:99 Had these been gods, they would not have come to it and all shall abide therein.

21:100 For them therein shall be groaning and they shall not hear therein.

21:101 Surely (as for) those for whom the good has already gone forth from Us, they shall be kept far off from it.

21:102 They will not hear its faint sound, and they shall abide in that which their souls long for.

21:103 The great fearful terror shall not grieve them, and the angels shall meet them: This is your day which you were promised.
