سورة الْحِجْرِ

وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: {صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ} الْحَقُّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَلَيْهِ طَرِيقُهُ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {لَعَمْرُكَ} لَعَيْشُكَ {قَوْمٌ مُنْكَرُونَ} أَنْكَرَهُمْ لُوطٌ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: {كِتَابٌ مَعْلُومٌ} أَجَلٌ {لَوْمَا تَأْتِينَا} هَلاَّ تَأْتِينَا شِيَعٌ أُمَمٌ وَلِلأَوْلِيَاءِ أَيْضًا شِيَعٌ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {يُهْرَعُونَ} مُسْرِعِينِ {لِلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ} لِلنَّاظِرِينَ {سُكِّرَتْ} غُشِّيَتْ {بُرُوجًا} مَنَازِلَ لِلشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ {لَوَاقِحَ} مَلاَقِحَ مُلْقَحَةً {حَمَإٍ} جَمَاعَةُ حَمْأَةٍ وَهْوَ الطِّينُ الْمُتَغَيِّرُ وَالْمَسْنُونُ الْمَصْبُوبِ {تَوْجَلْ} تَخَفْ {دَابِرَ} آخِرَ {لَبِإِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ} الإِمَامُ كُلُّ مَا ائْتَمَمْتَ وَاهْتَدَيْتَ بِهِ {الصَّيْحَةُ} الْهَلَكَةُ.

‏ إِذَا قَضَى اللَّهُ الأَمْرَ فِي السَّمَاءِ ضَرَبَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا خُضْعَانًا لِقَوْلِهِ كَالسِّلْسِلَةِ عَلَى صَفْوَانٍ ـ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ صَفْوَانٍ ـ يَنْفُذُهُمْ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا فُزِّعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ، قَالُوا لِلَّذِي قَالَ الْحَقَّ وَهْوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ، فَيَسْمَعُهَا مُسْتَرِقُو السَّمْعِ، وَمُسْتَرِقُو السَّمْعِ هَكَذَا وَاحِدٌ فَوْقَ آخَرَ ـ وَوَصَفَ سُفْيَانُ بِيَدِهِ، وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ يَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى، نَصَبَهَا بَعْضَهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ ـ فَرُبَّمَا أَدْرَكَ الشِّهَابُ الْمُسْتَمِعَ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْمِيَ بِهَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ، فَيُحْرِقَهُ وَرُبَّمَا لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ حَتَّى يَرْمِيَ بِهَا إِلَى الَّذِي يَلِيهِ إِلَى الَّذِي هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُلْقُوهَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ ـ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ ـ فَتُلْقَى عَلَى فَمِ السَّاحِرِ، فَيَكْذِبُ مَعَهَا مِائَةَ كَذْبَةٍ فَيَصْدُقُ، فَيَقُولُونَ أَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا يَوْمَ كَذَا وَكَذَا يَكُونُ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَوَجَدْنَاهُ حَقًّا لِلْكَلِمَةِ الَّتِي سُمِعَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ‏

English translation

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When Allah has ordained some affair in the Heaven, the angels beat with their wings in obedience to His statement, which sounds like a chain dragged over a rock." (`Ali and other sub-narrators said, "The sound reaches them.") "Until when fear is banished from their (angels) hearts, they (angels) say, 'What was it that your Lord said? They say, 'The truth; And He is the Most High, the Most Great.' (34:23) Then those who gain a hearing by stealing (i.e. devils) will hear Allah's Statement:-- 'Those who gain a hearing by stealing, (stand one over the other like this). (Sufyan, to illustrate this, spread the fingers of his right hand and placed them one over the other horizontally.) A flame may overtake and burn the eavesdropper before conveying the news to the one below him; or it may not overtake him till he has conveyed it to the one below him, who in his turn, conveys it to the one below him, and so on till they convey the news to the earth. (Or probably Sufyan said, "Till the news reaches the earth.") Then the news is inspired to a sorcerer who would add a hundred lies to it. His prophecy will prove true (as far as the heavenly news is concerned). The people will say. 'Didn't he tell us that on such-and-such a day, such-and-such a thing will happen? We have found that is true because of the true news heard from heaven." <i>The above hadith is also narrated by Abu Huraira</i>, starting: 'When Allah has ordained some affair...') In this narration the word foreteller is added to the word wizard.

English translation

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Mualla:

While I was praying, the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by and called me, but I did not go to him till I had finished my prayer. When I went to him, he said, "What prevented you from coming?" I said, "I was praying." He said, "Didn't Allah say" "O you who believes Give your response to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Messenger." (8:24) Then he added, "Shall I tell you the most superior Sura in the Qur'an before I go out of the mosque?" When the Prophet (ﷺ) intended to go out (of the Mosque), I reminded him and he said, "That is: "Al hamdu-li l-lahi Rabbil-`alamin (Surat-al-fatiha)' which is the seven oft repeated verses (Al-Mathani) and the Grand Qur'an which has been given to me."
