Job got everything again


Job got everything again (L-2808)

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥٓ أَهْلَهُۥ وَمِثْلَهُم مَّعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِّنَّا وَذِكْرَىٰ لِأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ 43  

وَخُذْ بِيَدِكَ ضِغْثًا فَٱضْرِب بِّهِۦ وَلَا تَحْنَثْ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَٰهُ صَابِرًا نِّعْمَ ٱلْعَبْدُ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ 44  


43.  Wa  wahabNaa  lahuuu  ‘ahlahuu  wa  mislahum-ma-‘ahum  Rah-matam-min-Naa  wa  zikraa  li-‘Ulil-‘albaab.

44.  Wa  khuz  biyadika  zigsan  fazrib-bihii  wa  laa  tahnas.  ‘Innaa  wajadNaahu  saabiraa.  Ni’-mal-‘Abd.  ‘Innahuuu  ‘awwaab.

 

43. And We restored his family for him, and their like with them; as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those who possess insight.

44. “Take with your hand a bundle, and strike with it, and do not break your oath.” We found him patient. What an excellent servant! He was obedient.

Zigsan – (a bunch of grass, a bundle, a handful of twigs).

Laa  tahnas – (do not break your oath), that is to say, you must fulfill your oath.

It is commanded: When he (Peace be upon him) inclined towards Us, We healed him and gave him other members of his family at the place of those who died due to demolition of his house including equal to the same number, more members, by Our kindness, and his house filled up with double than earlier members.

Prophet Job (Peace be upon him) swore due to being in anger during the state of his sickness that if he recovered from disease, he would beat his wife with one hundred sticks. She used to serve him alone in his sickness and she did not commit any big mistake. When God Almighty cured him, then fulfilling of his oath became compulsory. God Almighty felt pity on his wife and described the form of fulfilling of the oath to Job (Peace be upon him), “Take in your hand a bunch of grass and strike your wife with it and do not break your oath”. This concession was particularly for him only. Other people cannot reap advantage from it.

It is commanded: We found him (Peace be upon him) enduring. He was a servant worthy of admiration and praise who used to turn and pay attention towards Us in all conditions and every time. God Almighty has special mercy on such kind of slaves who are devoted to Him, and He saves them from every calamity. https://youtu.be/MIBv7T8gHuM
