سورة الأنعام
۞ إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ ۘ وَالْمَوْتَىٰ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُونَ 36وَقَالُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰ أَن يُنَزِّلَ آيَةً وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ 37وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا طَائِرٍ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا أُمَمٌ أَمْثَالُكُم ۚ مَّا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَابِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۚ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يُحْشَرُونَ 38وَالَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ 39قُلْ أَرَأَيْتَكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ عَذَابُ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَتَتْكُمُ السَّاعَةُ أَغَيْرَ اللَّهِ تَدْعُونَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ 40بَلْ إِيَّاهُ تَدْعُونَ فَيَكْشِفُ مَا تَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِن شَاءَ وَتَنسَوْنَ مَا تُشْرِكُونَ 41وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْبَأْسَاءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَضَرَّعُونَ 42فَلَوْلَا إِذْ جَاءَهُم بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلَٰكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ 43فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ 44
The interpretation of the verse: "But when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened to them the doors of everything; until when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly, and then they were despairing."
Abu Ja'far said: The meaning of His saying: "So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded." So when they abandoned the deeds that We commanded them through the tongues of Our messengers, (40) like that which: -
13226 - Al-Muthanna reported that Abdullah bin Saleh said that Muawiya bin Saleh told him, from Ali bin Abu Talha, from Ibn Abbas regarding His saying: "And when they forgot what they were reminded of", which means: they abandoned what they were reminded of.
13227 - Al-Qasim said, Al-Husayn said, Hajjaj told me, from Ibn Jurayj concerning His saying: "They forgot what they were reminded of." He said: What Allah and His messengers called them to, they rejected and turned away from it.
* * *
=" We opened for them the doors of everything " means: We replaced hardship with ease and ample living, and replaced adversity with health and safety in bodies and physiques, as a way of tempting them from Us, like the one who: -
13228 - Muhammad bin Amr told me, Abu Asim narrated to us, and Isa narrated to me - and Al-Muthanna told me, Abu Hudhaifah narrated to us, and Shibl narrated from Ibn Abi Nujaih, from Mujahid regarding the saying of Allah, "We have opened for them the doors of everything." He said: The prosperity of the world and its ease, upon the earlier generations.
13229 - Al-Hasan ibn Yahya reported, he said, Abdul-Razzaq informed us, he said, Ma'mar informed us, from Qatadah regarding His saying: "We opened to them the doors of everything." He said: This means ease and abundance of provision.
13230 - Muhammad ibn al-Hussein told us, Ahmad ibn Mufaddal told us, Aspat reported from al-Suddi regarding His saying: “We opened for them the gates of everything”, meaning: of sustenance.
* * *
If someone asks us: How is it said: "We opened for them the doors of everything", while it is known that the door of mercy and the door of repentance [have not been opened for them], is it not true that many other doors besides these have been opened for them? (41)
It was said: The meaning of this is not as you assumed, but rather it is: We opened for them, as a way of drawing them in, the doors of everything that we had previously closed for them, at the time We took them with adversity and hardship, so that they would supplicate. Since they did not supplicate and abandoned the command of Allah, as the conclusion of this statement refers back to its beginning. This is similar to what Allah, exalted be He, mentioned in another place in His Book: "And We did not send in any city a prophet except that We seized its people with hardship and adversity that perhaps they might humble themselves. Then We substituted in place of the bad situation for them the good, until they grew comfortable and said, 'Our forefathers were touched by hardship and ease.' So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive." [Surah Al-A'raf: 94-95] So Allah opened for the people mentioned in this verse [that they forgot what] He reminded them of, (42) with His statement: "So when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened for them the doors of everything." This refers to His substitution for them from the bad situation they were in during their trial, from narrow living to ease and abundance, and from affliction in their bodies to health and well-being, which is "the opening of all doors" that had been closed to them, as mentioned prior to His saying: "We opened for them the doors of everything." Thus, His saying: "We opened for them the doors of everything." refers back to it.
* * *
And Allah, the Exalted, means with His saying: "until when they rejoice in what they have been given", He says: until when these disbelievers rejoice in the opening of the doors of comfort in livelihood and health in their bodies, like that which:
13231 - Muhammad bin Al-Hussein told me, Ahmad bin Al-Mufaddal narrated to us, and Asbat reported from Al-Suddi: "Until when they rejoice in what they have been given", from the provision.
13232 - Al-Harith reported that Qasim bin Salam said, I heard Abdul Rahman bin Mahdi narrating from Hamad bin Zaid who said: There was a man who used to say: May Allah have mercy on a man who recited this verse, then thought about what was meant by it: "Until, when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly."
13233 - Al-Harith reported, and Al-Qasim narrated, and Ibn Abi Rijā' a man from the people of poetry, from Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak, from Muhammad Ibn Al-Nadr Al-Harithi regarding the saying: "We seized them unexpectedly", he said: They were given respite for twenty years. (43)
* * *
And Allah, the Exalted, means by His saying: "We seized them suddenly", that We brought them the punishment unexpectedly, while they were heedless and unaware that it was happening, nor was it imminent for them, (44) as follows:-
13234 - Al-Qasim reported that Al-Hussein said that Hajjaj informed him, from Ibn Jurayj: "Until when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly." He said: It was most pleasing to them and deceived them. (45)
13235 - Muhammad bin al-Husayn narrated to us, Ahmad bin al-Mufaddal narrated to us, Asbat narrated from al-Suddi " We seized them suddenly ", meaning: the punishment seized them suddenly.
13236 - Muhammad bin Amr told me, Abu Asim narrated to us, and Isa narrated from Ibn Abi Nujaih from Mujahid: "We seized them suddenly", he said: unexpectedly while they were secure.
* * *
And as for His saying: "Then they will be in despair", they are hopeless, their arguments have failed, and they regret what they have previously done in denying their messengers, similar to which:
13237- Muhammad bin Al-Hussain narrated to me, and Ahmad bin Al-Mufaddal narrated to us: Asbat narrated from Al-Suddi: "So they are in despair." He said: So they are doomed, their condition changed.
13238 - Harith narrated to me, and Abdul Aziz narrated to us, and a Sheikh narrated from Mujahid: "And when they see that, they will be in despair." He said: It is sadness. (46)
13239 - Younis told me, Ibn Wahb informed us, Ibn Zaid said, concerning His Word: "When they were taken aback", he said: "The one who is taken aback" is the one who has encountered misfortune that cannot be repelled. And the one who is taken aback is more severe than the one who is submissive, and he recited: فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ (And they were not humbling themselves to their Lord, nor did they supplicate) [Surah Al-Mu'minun: 76]. It was the first time of rebuke and remainder. (47) And he recited Allah's saying: "We afflicted them with hardship and adversity, that perhaps they may humble themselves." = فَلَوْلا إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا (So why did they not humble themselves when Our punishment came to them) until it reached وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ (And Satan adorned for them what they were doing), then came a command that had no remainder. (48) And he recited: "And when they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly, and behold, they were taken aback.", then came a command that had no remainder. And it was the first, if only they had humbled themselves, it would have been lifted from them.
13240 - Narrated to me by Said bin Amr Al-Sakooni, he said, Al-Baqiyyah bin Al-Walid narrated to us, from Abu Sharih Dabara bin Malik, from Abu Al-Salt, from Harmalah Abu Abdur-Rahman, from Uqbah bin Muslim, from Uqbah bin Amer who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When you see that Allah grants His servant in this world, it is merely a form of enticement. Then he recited this verse: "So when they forgot what they had been reminded of..." until the statement: وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ . (49)
13241- I received this narration from Muhammad Ibn Harb, from Ibn Lahi'ah, from ‘Uqbah bin Muslim, from ‘Uqbah bin 'Aamer: That the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "And when you see Allah, may He be exalted, giving the servants what they ask for despite their disobedience to Him, then that is merely a lure from Him to them!" Then he recited "So when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We opened to them the doors of all things." The verse.
* * *
And the original meaning of " al-Iblās " in the speech of Arabs, according to some of them: is sadness over something and regret for it = and according to some of them: the cessation of the argument, and silence when the argument ceases = and according to some of them: humility = and they said: he is the forsaken and abandoned, from which is the saying of Al-Ajjaj:
O friend, do you know a figure that is engraved?
He said: Yes! I know him! And he became despondent. (50)
The interpretation of the phrase: "And He became despaired ", according to those who claimed that "despair" is the cessation of evidence and silence regarding it, meaning: he did not find a response. (51)
And others interpreted it to mean humility, and leaving its family while it remains in its place.
And the others refer to sadness and regret.
It is said of him: "The man became despondent.", and from this, it was said: For Iblis "Iblis." (52)
* * *
I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that.
(40) Look at the Tafseer of "forgetfulness" in the previous references 2: 9, 473 - 480/5: 164/6: 132, 133 - 135/10: 129.
= And look at the interpretation of "remembrance" in what has preceded 10: 130, note 2, and the references there.
(41) In the printed and manuscript versions: "The door of mercy and the door of repentance have not been opened for them, and there are many other doors as well." However, the manuscript only contains "other doors" without the conjunction "and". It is preferable to assume that what was omitted from the text has been corrected, and that the correct version includes what has been amended in its pronouns.
(42) This addition in parentheses is required by the context.
(43) The narration: 13233 -"Ibn Abi Rijah", I do not know him, and it was in the printed version: "from the people of the border", and "man" was omitted, and what is in the manuscript was confirmed. And "Muhammad ibn Al-Nadr Al-Harithi", Abu Abdur Rahman Al-Abid, is referenced in Al-Kabir 1/1/252, and Ibn Abi Hatim 4/1/110, and Al-Hilyah Al-Awliya 8: 217, and Sifat Al-Safwah 3: 93. This report was narrated by Abu Naim in Al-Hilyah 8: 220 from the route of Abu Bakr ibn Malik, about Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal, about Ahmad ibn Ibrahim, about Muhammad ibn Munbih, the nephew of Ibn Mubarak, about Abdullah ibn Mubarak.
So I fear that "Ibn Abi Rajaa" is "Muhammad Ibn Munabbih", the nephew of Ibn Al-Mubarak. Perhaps his biography, "Muhammad Ibn Munabbih", will be found, so that we may know what we are ignorant of, and correct what is in the manuscript, whether he is "a man from the people of poetry" or "from the people of the frontier", as stated in the printed version.
(44) Look at the interpretation of "suddenly" in what has preceded, page: 325.
(45) In the printed version: "And the most beloved to them" (with the letter ‘ain and zay) and the correct interpretation is "the most tempting to them", from "temptation" and "deception" (with the letters ‘ghain and the unimportant ‘ra).
(46) In the printed version: "So when they are in despair, He said: So when they are doomed", I do not know where this came from. What is in the manuscript is what I documented, but it is unpointed, so I preferred to read it as I documented. It will come that the meaning of "despair" is sadness and regret.
(47) In the printed version: "Rebuke and Taqiyya", and there is no meaning for that here, and in the manuscript: "and Al-Qiya" and the correct reading is what has been established. And "the remainder" means keeping them.
(48) In the manuscript and the printed version here in both places: "Taqiyyah", and it is an error, refer to the previous comment.
(49) The two narrations: 13240, 13241 - "Saeed bin Amr Al-Sukooni", went with the number: 5563, 6521. And "Baqiyyah bin Al-Waleed Al-Hamasi", mentioned repeatedly, the first of them with the number: 152, and the last: 9224. He is trustworthy, but they criticized him for his practice of tadlees. And "Dhabarah bin Malik" traced back to his grandfather, who is "Dhabarah bin Abdullah bin Malik bin Abi Al-Salik Al-Hadri Al-Ilahani", "Abu Shurayh Al-Hamasi", and it is also said "Dhabarah bin Abi Al-Salik". Ibn Hibban mentioned him among the trustworthy and said: "His narrations are considered from the narrators of the trustworthy." Ibn Adi mentioned him in Al-Kamil and narrated six weak hadiths from him. He is translated in Al-Tahdhib, Al-Kabir 2/2/343, and Ibn Abi Hatim 2/1/471. And "Abu Al-Salt" is mentioned in the translation of "Dhabarah" in Al-Tahdhib, and is described as "the Syrian", and I did not find any mention of him in the translation books I have at hand. As for "Harmalah, Abu Abd Al-Rahman", this is problematic because "Harmalah bin Imran bin Qarad Al-Tajibi Al-Misri", his kunya is "Abu Hafs", and I have not found any other kunya for him. I do not dismiss that this might be a mistake of a copyist, so I fear that "Abu Abd Al-Rahman" might be another kunya for him. He is trustworthy, and was one of those of sound intellect. He is translated in Al-Tahdhib, Al-Kabir 2/1/64, and Ibn Abi Hatim 1/2/273. And "Uqbah bin Muslim Al-Tajibi Al-Misri", the imam of the ancient mosque, is a trustworthy Egyptian Tabi'i. He is translated in Al-Tahdhib. And "Uqbah bin Amer Al-Juhani", a companion with an early migration and companionship. He was a knowledgeable jurist, eloquent in speech, a poet, a writer, and one of those who compiled the Quran. This report will be narrated by Abu Ja'far later from the route of Ibn Lahi'ah, from Uqbah bin Muslim, and Ahmad narrated it in his Musnad 4: 145, from the route of Yahya bin Ghilan, from Rushdin bin Sa'd, from Harmalah bin Imran, from Uqbah bin Muslim, from Uqbah bin Amer, in a similar manner. Al-Haythami reported it in Majma' Al-Zawa'id 7: 20, attributed it to Ahmad and Al-Tabarani, and did not mention anything in its chain of narration regarding its authenticity or weakness. Ibn Kathir mentioned it in his Tafsir 3: 311 narrating from Ahmad, and pointed to the path of Ibn Jarir, and Ibn Abi Hatim. Al-Suyuti reported it in Al-Durr Al-Manthur 3: 12, and added that it was attributed to Ibn Abi Hatim, Ibn Al-Mundhir, Abu Sheikh, Ibn Al-Mardawayh, and Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Shu'ab.
(50) The house and its extraction and interpretation have been discussed previously in 1: 509, and I did not refer there to its coming in the interpretation in this place, then in 21: 18 (Bulaq), and I add that it is in the Metaphor of the Quran by Abu Ubaid 1: 192, and the Meanings of the Quran by Al-Farrah 1: 335.
(51) He is Al-Farra' in the meanings of the Quran 1: 335.
(52) Look at what Abu Ja'far said in the interpretation of "Iblis" in the previous references 1: 509, 510.
