3389. Narrated 'Urwa: I asked 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet ﷺ about the meaning of the following Verse: "(They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people)...” (V.12:110) ‘Aishah replied, “Really, their nations (people) denied them.” I said, “By Allāh! They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspecting.” ‘Aishah said, “O ‘Uraiyya (i.e., ‘Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it.” I said, “May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the Messengers thought that Allāh did not help them?”(1) ‘Aishah said, “Allāh forbid (impossible)! The Messengers did not suspect their Lord of such a thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Messengers’ followers who had faith in their Lord and believed in their Messengers, and their period of trials was long and Allāh’s Help was delayed till the Messengers gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation, and the Messengers thought that their followers treated them as liars, thereupon Allāh’s Help came to them.” [See Vol. 6, Hadīth No. 4695]

3389 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَرَأَيْتِ قَوْلَهُ: (حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِّبُوا) أَوْ كُذِبُوا؟ قَالَتْ: «بَلْ كَذَّبَهُمْ قَوْمُهُمْ» ، فَقُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ لَقَدِ اسْتَيْقَنُوا أَنَّ قَوْمَهُمْ كَذَّبُوهُمْ، وَمَا هُوَ بِالظَّنِّ، فَقَالَتْ: «يَا عُرَيَّةُ لَقَدِ اسْتَيْقَنُوا بِذَلِكَ»، قُلْتُ: فَلَعَلَّهَا أَوْ كُذِبُوا، قَالَتْ: " مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ، لَمْ تَكُنِ الرُّسُلُ تَظُنُّ ذَلِكَ بِرَبِّهَا، وَأَمَّا هَذِهِ الآيَةُ، قَالَتْ: هُمْ أَتْبَاعُ الرُّسُلِ، الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَصَدَّقُوهُمْ، وَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ البَلاَءُ، وَاسْتَأْخَرَ عَنْهُمُ النَّصْرُ، حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَتْ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَهُمْ مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ، وَظَنُّوا أَنَّ أَتْبَاعَهُمْ كَذَّبُوهُمْ، جَاءَهُمْ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ " قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: " {اسْتَيْأَسُوا} [يوسف: 80] اسْتَفْعَلُوا، مِنْ يَئِسْتُ مِنْهُ مِنْ يُوسُفَ، {لاَ تَيْأَسُوا مِنْ رَوْحِ اللَّهِ} [يوسف: 87] مَعْنَاهُ الرَّجَاءُ "
