The First Surah in which a Prostration is revealed
Al-Bukhari
recorded that `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud) said, "Surat An-Najm was the first
Surah in which a prostration was revealed. The Prophet (recited it in
Makkah) and prostrated. Those who were with him did the same, except an
old man who took a handful of soil and prostrated on it. Later on, I saw
him killed as a disbeliever; he was Umayyah bin Khalaf.'' Al-Bukhari
recorded this Hadith in several places of his Sahih, as did Muslim, Abu
Dawud and An-Nasa'i, using various chains of narration through Abu Ishaq
from `Abdullah.
﴿ بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ ﴾
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
﴿ وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ • مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ • وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ • إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡىٌ۬ يُوحَىٰ ﴾
(1.
By the star when it goes down.) (2. Your companion has neither gone
astray nor has he erred.) (3. Nor does he speak of desire.) (4. It is
only a revelation revealed.)
Allah swears the Messenger is True and His Words are a Revelation from Him
Ibn
Abi Hatim recorded that Ash-Sha`bi and others stated that the Creator
swears by whatever He wills among His creation, but the created only vow
by the Creator. Allah said,
﴿ وَٱلنَّجۡمِ إِذَا هَوَىٰ ﴾
(By
the star when it goes down.) Ibn Abi Najih reported that Mujahid said,
"The star refers to Pleiades when it sets at Fajr.'' Ad-Dahhak said
"When the Shayatin are shot with it.'' And this Ayah is like Allah's
saying;
﴿ فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِمَوَٲقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ • وَإِنَّهُ ۥ لَقَسَمٌ۬ لَّوۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ • إِنَّهُ ۥ لَقُرۡءَانٌ۬ كَرِيمٌ۬ • فِى كِتَـٰبٍ۬ مَّكۡنُونٍ۬ • لَّا يَمَسُّهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُطَهَّرُونَ • تَنزِيلٌ۬ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ ﴾
(So,
I swear by the setting of the stars. And verily, that is indeed a great
oath, if you but know. That is indeed an honorable recitation. In a
Book well-guarded. Which none can touch but the pure. A revelation from
the Lord of all that exists.)(56:75-80) Allah said;
﴿ مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمۡ وَمَا غَوَىٰ ﴾
(Your
companion has neither gone astray nor has erred.) This contains the
subject of the oath. This part of the Ayah is the witness that the
Messenger of Allah is sane and a follower of Truth. He is neither led
astray, such as in the case of the ignorant who does not proceed on any
path with knowledge, nor is he one who erred, such as in the case of the
knowledgeable, who knows the Truth, yet deviates from it intentionally
to something else. Therefore, Allah exonerated His Messenger and his
Message from being similar to the misguided ways of the Christians and
the erroneous paths of the Jews, such as knowing the Truth and hiding
it, while abiding by falsehood. Rather, he, may Allah's peace and
blessings be on him, and his glorious Message that Allah has sent him
with, are on the perfect straight path, following guidance and what is
correct.
Muhammad was sent as a Mercy for all that exists; He does not speak of His Desire
Allah said,
﴿ وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ ﴾
(Nor does he speak of desire), asserting that nothing the Prophet utters is of his own desire or wish,
﴿ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحۡىٌ۬ يُوحَىٰ ﴾
(It
is only a revelation revealed.), means, he only conveys to the people
what he was commanded to convey, in its entirety without additions or
deletions. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Umamah said that he heard the
Messenger of Allah say,
«
لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ لَيْسَ بِنَبِيَ مِثْلُ
الْحَيَّيْنِ أَوْ مِثْلُ أَحَدِ الْحَيَّيْنِ رَبِيعَةَ وَمُضَر »
(Verily,
numbers similar to the two tribes, or one of them, Rabi`ah and Mudar,
will enter Paradise on account of the intercession of one man, who is
not a Prophet.) A man asked, "O Allah's Messenger! Is not Rabi`ah a
subtribe of Mudar.'' The Prophet said,
« إِنَّمَا أَقُولُ مَا أَقُول »
(I
said what I said.) Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, "I
used to record everything I heard from the Messenger of Allah so it
would be preserved. The Quraysh discouraged me from this, saying, `You
record everything you hear from the Messenger of Allah , even though he
is human and sometimes speaks when he is angry' I stopped recording the
Hadiths for a while, but later mentioned what they said to the Messenger
of Allah , who said,
« اكْتُبْ، فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا خَرَجَ مِنِّي إِلَّا الْحَق »
(Write! By He in Whose Hand is my soul, every word that comes out of me is the Truth.)'' Abu Dawud also collected this Hadith.
﴿ عَلَّمَهُ ۥ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ • ذُو مِرَّةٍ۬ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ • وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ • ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّىٰ • فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ • فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ • مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ • أَفَتُمَـٰرُونَهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ • وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ • عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ • عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ • إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ • مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ • لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ﴾
(5.
He has been taught by one mighty in power.) (6. Dhu Mirrah then he
Istawa.) (7. While he was in the highest part of the horizon,) (8. Then
he approached and came closer,) (9. And was at a distance of two bows'
length or less.) (10. So (Allah) revealed to His servant whatever He
revealed.) (11. The heart lied not in what he saw.) (12. Will you then
dispute with him about what he saw) (13. And indeed he saw him at a
second descent.) (14. Near Sidrat Al-Muntaha.) (15. Near it is the
Paradise of Abode.) (16. When that covered the lote tree which did cover
it!) (17. The sight turned not aside, nor it transgressed beyond the
limit.) (18. Indeed he saw of the greatest Signs of his Lord.)
The Trustworthy Angel brought Allah's Revelation to the Trustworthy Messenger
Allah the Exalted states that the Message His servant and Messenger Muhammad brought to people was taught to him by,
﴿ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡقُوَىٰ ﴾
(mighty in power), he is Jibril (peace be upon him)
﴿ إِنَّهُ ۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٍ۬ كَرِيمٍ۬ • ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٍ۬ • مُّطَاعٍ۬ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ۬ ﴾
(Verily,
this is the Word a most honorable messenger, owner of power, with
(Allah) the Lord of the Throne, obeyed (by the angels) and
trustworthy.)(81:19-21) Allah said here,
﴿ ذُو مِرَّةٍ۬ ﴾
(Dhu
Mirrah), meaning, he is mighty in power, according to Mujahid, Al-Hasan
and Ibn Zayd. In an authentic Hadith from `Abdullah bin `Umar and Abu
Hurayrah, the Prophet said,
« لَا تَحِلُّ الصَّدَقَةُ لِغَنِيَ وَلَا لِذِي مِرَّةٍ سَوِي »
(Charity is not allowed for a rich person nor Dhu Mirrah (a strong person) of sound mind and body.) Allah said;
﴿ فَٱسۡتَوَىٰ ﴾
(then he Istawa (rose).) this refers to the angel Jibril, according to Al-Hasan, Mujahid, Qatadah and Ar-Rabi` bin Anas,
﴿ وَهُوَ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ ﴾
(While
he was in the highest part of the horizon.) meaning, Jibril rose to the
highest part of the horizon, according to `Ikrimah and several others;
`Ikrimah said, "The highest horizon where the morning comes from.''
Mujahid said, "It is (the place of) sunrise.'' Qatadah said, "That from
which the day comes.'' Ibn Zayd and several others said similarly. Imam
Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "The Messenger of Allah
saw Jibril in his original shape having six hundred wings, each wing
filling the side of the horizon, with a colorful array, and pearls and
rubies falling from each wing as much as only Allah knows.'' Only Imam
Ahmad collected this Hadith. Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin
`Abbas said, "The Prophet asked Jibril to appear himself to him in his
original shape and Jibril said to him, `Invoke your Lord.' The Prophet
invoked his Lord the Exalted and Most Honored, and a great huge figure
appeared to him from the east and kept rising and spreading. When the
Prophet saw Jibril in his original shape, he was knocked unconscious.
Jibril came down and revived the Prophet and wiped the saliva off of his
cheeks.''' Only Ahmad collected this Hadith.
Meaning of "at a distance of two bows" length or less
Allah's statement,
﴿ فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ ﴾
(And
was at a distance of two bows` length or less.) means, Jibril came
closer to Muhammad when Jibril was descending to him on earth. At that
time, the distance between them became only two bow lengths, when the
bows are extended to full length, according to Mujahid and Qatadah. It
was said that the meaning here is the distance between the bow's string
and its wood center. Allah's statement,
﴿ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ ﴾
(or
less) indicates that the distance was as only as far described, not
more. This type of usage is found in several instances in the Qur'an,
such as,
﴿ ثُمَّ قَسَتۡ قُلُوبُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٲلِكَ فَهِىَ كَٱلۡحِجَارَةِ أَوۡ أَشَدُّ قَسۡوَةً۬ۚ ﴾
(Then,
after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even
worse in hardness.)(2:74) The Ayah says that their hearts became not
softer than rocks, but as hard and difficult as rocks, and more. There
is a similar Ayah,
﴿ يَخۡشَوۡنَ ٱلنَّاسَ كَخَشۡيَةِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ أَشَدَّ خَشۡيَةً۬ۚ ﴾
(fear men as they fear Allah or even more.)(4:77), and Allah's statement,
﴿ وَأَرۡسَلۡنَـٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ ﴾
(And
We sent him to hundred thousand (people) or even more.)(37:147),
indicating that they were not less than a hundred thousand, but that
amount or more. Therefore, this verifies the facts mentioned, leaving no
doubt or means of refute. Similarly, Allah said,
﴿ فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ ﴾
(And
was at a distance of two bow lengths or less.) We stated before that it
was Jibril who came down near the Prophet, according to `A'ishah, the
Mother of the faithful, `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, Abu Dharr and Abu
Hurayrah. We will mention their statements about this soon afterwards,
Allah willing. Ibn Jarir recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said about
this Ayah,
﴿ فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ ﴾
(And was at a distance of two bow lengths or less.) "Allah's Messenger said,
« رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاح »
(I
saw Jibril; he had six hundred wings.)'' Al-Bukhari recorded that Talq
bin Ghannam said that Za'idah said that Ash-Shaybani said, "I asked Zirr
about the Ayah,
﴿ فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوۡسَيۡنِ أَوۡ أَدۡنَىٰ • فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ ﴾
(And
was at a distance of two bow lengths or less. So (Allah) revealed to
His servant whatever He revealed.) Zirr said, "Abdullah narrated to us
that Muhammad saw Jibril having six hundred wings.'' Allah's statement,
﴿ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ ﴾
(So
he revealed to His servant whatever He revealed.) means, Jibril
conveyed to Allah's servant Muhammad whatever he conveyed. Or, the
meaning here could be: Allah revealed to His servant Muhammad whatever
He revealed through Jibril. Both meanings are correct. Sa`id bin Jubayr
said about Allah's statement,
﴿ فَأَوۡحَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ عَبۡدِهِۦ مَآ أَوۡحَىٰ ﴾
(So He revealed to His servant whatever He revealed.) "Allah revealed to him,
﴿ أَلَمۡ يَجِدۡكَ يَتِيمً۬ا ﴾
(Did He not find you an orphan.)(93:6), and,
﴿ وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَ ﴾
(And
have We not raised high your fame)(94:4)'' Someone else said, "Allah
revealed to the Prophet that the Prophets will not enter Paradise until
he enters it first, and the nations will not enter it until his Ummah
enters it first.''
Did the Prophet see His Lord during the Night of Isra
Allah said next,
﴿ مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ • أَفَتُمَـٰرُونَهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ مَا يَرَىٰ ﴾
(The heart lied not in what he saw. Will you then dispute with him about what he saw) Muslim recorded from Ibn `Abbas about:
﴿ مَا كَذَبَ ٱلۡفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰٓ ﴾
(The heart lied not in what he saw), and,
﴿ وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ﴾
(And
indeed he saw him at a second descent.) "He saw Allah twice in his
heart.'' Simak reported a similar from `Ikrimah from Ibn `Abbas. Abu
Salih, As-Suddi and several others said similarly that the Prophet saw
Allah twice in his heart. Masruq said, "I went to `A'ishah and asked
her, `Did Muhammad see his Lord' She said, `You said something that
caused my hair to rise!' I said, `Behold!' and recited this Ayah,
﴿ لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ﴾
(Indeed
he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.) She said, `Where did your
mind wander It was Jibril. Whoever says to you that Muhammad saw his
Lord, or hid any part of what he was commanded (i.e., Allah's Message),
or knew any of the five things which only Allah knows,
﴿ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُ ۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ ﴾
(Verily,
Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the
rain...)(31:34), Then he invents a great lie against Allah! The Prophet
only saw Jibril twice, in his original shape, once near Sidrat
Al-Muntaha and another time in Ajyad (in Makkah) while Jibril had six
hundred wings that covered the horizon.''' Muslim recorded that Abu
Dharr said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, `Have you seen your Lord'
He said,
« نُورٌ أَنَّى أَرَاه »
(How can I see Him since there was a light)'' In another narration, the Prophet said,
« رَأَيْتُ نُورًا »
(I only saw a light.) Allah's statement,
﴿ وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ • عِندَ سِدۡرَةِ ٱلۡمُنتَهَىٰ • عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ ٱلۡمَأۡوَىٰٓ ﴾
(And indeed he saw him at a second descent. Near Sidrat Al-Muntaha.) "The Messenger of Allah said,
« رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ وَلَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ يَنْتَثِرُ مِنْ رِيشِهِ التَّهَاوِيلُ مِنَ الدُّرِّ وَالْيَاقُوت »
(I
saw Jibril while he had six hundred wings and a colorful array of
pearls and rubies falling from the feathers of his wings.)'' This Hadith
has a good, strong chain of narration. Ahmad also recorded that
`Abdullah ﴿Ibn Mas`ud﴾
said, "The Messenger of Allah saw Jibril in his original shape while
Jibril had six hundred wings, each wing covering the side of the
horizon. From his wings, precious stones were dropping of which only
Allah has knowledge.'' This Hadith has a good chain of narration. Imam
Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "The Messenger of Allah
said,
« رَأَيْتُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَلَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاح »
(I
saw Jibril over Sidrat Al-Muntaha while he had six hundred wings.)''
One of the subnarrators of the Hadith asked `Asim about Jibril's wings
and `Asim refused to elaborate. So some of his companions were asked and
one of them said, "Each wing was covering what is between the east and
the west.'' This Hadith has a good chain of narration. Imam Ahmad
recorded that Ibn Mas`ud said that Allah's Messenger said:
« أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فِي خُضْرٍ مُعَلَّقٍ بِهِ الدُّر »
(Jibril
came to me wearing green with pearls hanging down.) This Hadith has a
good chain of narration. Imam Ahmad recorded that `Amir said that Masruq
asked `A'ishah, "O Mother of the faithful, has Muhammad seen his Lord,
the Exalted and Most Honored'' She said, "Glorious is Allah! My hair is
standing on end because of what you said. Three matters, if one tells
you about any of them, will have lied. Whoever tells you that Muhammad
has seen his Lord, will have lied.'' She then recited these two Ayat,
﴿ لَّا تُدۡرِڪُهُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ وَهُوَ يُدۡرِكُ ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَۖ ﴾
(No vision can grasp Him, but He grasps all vision.)(6:103), and,
﴿ وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَن يُكَلِّمَهُ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحۡيًا أَوۡ مِن وَرَآىِٕ حِجَابٍ ﴾
(It
is not given to any human being that Allah should speak to him unless
(it be) by revelation, or from behind a veil.)(42:51) She went one, "And
whoever tells you that Muhammad knew what the morrow will bring, will
have uttered a lie.'' She then recited,
﴿ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عِندَهُ ۥ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِۖ ﴾
(Verily,
Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain,
and knows that which is in the wombs.)(31:34) `A'ishah said, "And
whoever tells you that Muhammad has hidden any part of the Message will
have lied,'' and she then recited this Ayah,
﴿ يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلرَّسُولُ بَلِّغۡ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَۖ ﴾
(O
Messenger proclaim which has been sent down to you from your
Lord.)(5:67).She went one, "However, he saw Jibril twice in his original
shape.'' Imam Ahmad also recorded that Masruq said, "I asked `A'ishah,
`Did not Allah say,
﴿ وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ﴾
(And indeed he saw him in the clear horizon.)(81:23), and,
﴿ وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ نَزۡلَةً أُخۡرَىٰ ﴾
(And
indeed he saw him at a second descent)' She said, `I was the first
among this Ummah to ask Allah's Messenger about it. He said,
« إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ جِبْرِيل »
(That
was Jibril.) He only saw him twice in his actual and real figure. He
saw Jibril descend from heaven to earth and was so huge that he covered
the whole horizon between the sky and earth.)''' This Hadith is recorded
in the Two Sahihs via Ash-Sha`bi.
Angels, Light and colors covered Sidrat Al-Muntaha
Allah said,
﴿ إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ ﴾
(When
that covered the lote tree which did cover it!) We mentioned before, in
the Hadiths about Al-Isra' that the angels, Allah's Light, and
spectacular colors covered the Sidrah. Imam Ahmad recorded that
`Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "When the Messenger of Allah was taken on the
Isra' journey, he ascended to Sidrat Al-Muntaha, which is in the
seventh heaven. There everything terminates that ascends from the earth
and is held there, and terminates everything that descends from above it
is held there,
﴿ إِذۡ يَغۡشَى ٱلسِّدۡرَةَ مَا يَغۡشَىٰ ﴾
(When
that covered the lote tree which did cover it!) He said, "Golden
butterflies. The Messenger of Allah was given three things: He was given
the five prayers, he was given the concluding verses of Surat
Al-Baqarah (2:284-286), and remission of serious sins for those among
his Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.'' Muslim collected
this Hadith. Allah's statement,
﴿ مَا زَاغَ ٱلۡبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴾
(The
sight turned not aside, nor it transgressed beyond the limit.)
indicates that the Prophet's sight did not turn right or left, according
to `Ibn `Abbas,
﴿ وَمَا طَغَىٰ ﴾
(nor
it transgressed beyond the limit.) not exceeding what has been ordained
for it. This is a tremendous quality that demonstrates the Prophet's
firm obedience to Allah, because he only did what was commanded and did
ask beyond what he was given. Allah's statement,
﴿ لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ﴾
(Indeed he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.) is similar to another Ayah,
﴿ لِنُرِيَهُ ۥ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَآۚ ﴾
(In
order that We might show him of Our Ayat.)(17:1), meaning, signs that
testify to Allah's might and greatness. Relying on these two Ayat, some
scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah said that the Prophet did not see Allah during
the Isra' journey, because Allah said,
﴿ لَقَدۡ رَأَىٰ مِنۡ ءَايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ ﴾
(Indeed
he saw of the greatest signs of his Lord.) They said that, had the
Prophet seen his Lord, Allah would have conveyed this news and the
Prophet would have narrated it to the people.
﴿ أَفَرَءَيۡتُمُ ٱللَّـٰتَ وَٱلۡعُزَّىٰ • وَمَنَوٰةَ ٱلثَّالِثَةَ ٱلۡأُخۡرَىٰٓ • أَلَكُمُ ٱلذَّكَرُ وَلَهُ ٱلۡأُنثَىٰ • تِلۡكَ إِذً۬ا قِسۡمَةٌ۬ ضِيزَىٰٓ •
إِنۡ هِىَ إِلَّآ أَسۡمَآءٌ۬ سَمَّيۡتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُم
مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِہَا مِن سُلۡطَـٰنٍۚ إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا
ٱلظَّنَّ وَمَا تَهۡوَى ٱلۡأَنفُسُۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّن رَّبِّہِمُ
ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ • أَمۡ لِلۡإِنسَـٰنِ مَا تَمَنَّىٰ • فَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡأَخِرَةُ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰ •
وَكَم مِّن مَّلَكٍ۬ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ لَا تُغۡنِى شَفَـٰعَتُہُمۡ
شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن يَأۡذَنَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ
وَيَرۡضَىٰٓ ﴾
(19.
Have you then considered Al-Lat, and Al-`Uzza.) (20. And Manat, the
other third) (21. Is it for you the males and for Him the females) (22.
That indeed is a division most unfair!) (23. They are but names which
you have named - you and your fathers - for which Allah has sent down no
authority. They follow but a guess and that which they themselves
desire, whereas there has surely come to them the guidance from their
Lord!) (24. Or shall man have what he wishes) (25. But to Allah belongs
the last (Hereafter) and the first (the world).) (26. And there are many
angels in the heavens, whose intercession will avail nothing, except
after Allah has given leave for whom He wills and is pleased with.)
