Al-Layl - 92:11
| Previous: Ayah 6-10 | Next: Ayah 16-21 |
Then Allah says,
وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّى
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down?
Mujahid said, "This means when he dies."
Abu Salih and Malik said -- narrating from Zayd bin Aslam,
"When he goes down into the Fire.
Al-Layl - 92:12
The Matter of Guidance and other than it is in the Hand of Allah, and Allah's Warning about the Hellfire
Allah's says,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَى
Truly, on Us is (to give) guidance.
Qatadah said, "This means, We will explain what is lawful and what is prohibited."
Others have said that it means, "Whoever traverses upon the path of guidance, then he will reach Allah (i.e., in the Hereafter)."
They consider this Ayah like Allah's saying,
وَعَلَى اللَّهِ قَصْدُ السَّبِيلِ
And upon Allah is the responsibility to explain the Straight path. (16:9)
Al-Layl - 92:13
This has been mentioned by Ibn Jarir.
Allah said;
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْإخِرَةَ وَالاْإُولَى
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
This means, `they both belong to Us and I (Allah) am in complete control of them.'
Al-Layl - 92:14
Then Allah says,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّى
Therefore I have warned you of a Fire Talazza.
Mujahid said, "Blazing."
Imam Ahmad recorded from Simak bin Harb that he heard An-Nu`man bin Bashir giving a sermon, in which he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah giving a sermon, in which he said:
أَنْذَرْتُكُمُ النَّار
I have warned you of the Fire.
And he said it in such a voice that if a man was in the marketplace he could hear it from where I am standing now.
And he said it (with such force) that the garment that was on his shoulder fell down to his feet."
Imam Ahmad recorded from Abu Ishaq that he heard An-Nu`man bin Bashir giving a sermon, in which he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,
إِنَّ أَهْوَنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ تُوضَعُ فِي أَخْمَصِ قَدَمَيْهِ جَمْرَتَانِ يَغْلِي مِنْهُمَا دِمَاغُه
Verily, the person to be punished lightest of the people of the Fire on the Day of Judgement will be a man who will have placed on the soles of his feet two coals that will cause his brain to boil."
Imam Al-Bukhari also recorded this narration.
Muslim recorded that Abu Ishaq narrated from An-Nu`man bin Bashir that the Messenger of Allah said,
إِنَّ أَهْوَنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا مَنْ لَهُ نَعْلَنِ وَشِرَاكَانِ مِنْ نَارٍ يَغْلِي مِنْهُمَا دِمَاغُهُ كَمَا يَغْلِي الْمِرْجَلُ مَا يَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ عَذَابًاوَإِنَّهُ لَاَهْوَنُهُمْ عَذَابًا
Verily, the lightest punishment received by the people of the Hellfire will be a man who will have two sandals whose straps will be made of fire that will cause his brain to boil just as a cauldron boils. Yet he will not think that anyone is receiving a torment more severe than him, even though he will be receiving the lightest punishment of them.
Al-Layl - 92:15
Allah says,
لَاا يَصْلَاهَا إِلاَّ الاْاَشْقَى
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
Meaning, none will enter surrounded by it on all sides except the most wretched.
