Story of a worldly companion
Chapter “Saaaffaat” - (Those who set the Ranks) – 37
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in Allaah
from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful)
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ 51
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ 52
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَدِينُونَ 53
|
51. A speaker of them
saith: Lo! I had a comrade-
52. Who used to say:
Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words)?
53. Can we, when we are
dead and have become mere dust and bones – can we (then) verily be brought to
book? |
51. Qaala qaaa-‘ilum-minhum ‘innii
kaana lii qariin.
52. Yaquulu ‘a-‘innaka
laminal-musaddiqiin.
53. ‘A-‘izaa mitnaa
wa kunnaa turaabanw-wa ‘izaaman
‘a-‘innaa lamadiinuun. |
Commentary
Madiinuuna – (will be
recompensed, will be called to account), this word is plural of madiinun
which has been derived from daynun. Daynun means “to requite”.
Heavenly people will be sitting
comfortably on coaches in the Garden, drinking cups of palatable wine and talking
with one another happily. Meanwhile one of them will miss his one companion of
the world and he will say to the people of his council: I remembered that I had
a comrade in the world who used to say: You were an intelligent but have become
such ignorant that you believe in the Day of Resurrection, consider that coming
back to life again after death is true and we
will indeed be recompensed. What has happened with your understanding? You
don’t think that when a mankind has died, his body has been finished and mixed
in the earth. Only some bones remained which also has been broken in small
pieces and wasted, then will he be brought back to life? I don’t understand
these matters of ignorance. I don’t know how you believe that it is the truth,
and along with the belief in the life after death, you believe also that every
sinner will be punished and thrown into the Fire of the Hell, but the person
who believed and did good works; will enjoy and live in the mansions of the
Gardens. In short, he used to make me fool and jest after observing my deeds as
of the religious people.
