4774. Narrated Masrūq: While a man was delivering a speech in the tribe of Kinda, he said, "Smoke will prevail on the Day of Resurrection and will deprive the hypocrites their faculties of hearing and seeing. The believers will be afflicted with something like cold only thereof." That news scared us, so I went to (Abdullah) Ibn Mas'ūd while he was reclining (and told him the story) whereupon he became angry, sat up and said, "He who knows a thing can say it, but if he does not know, he should say, 'Allah knows better,' for it is an aspect of knowledge to say, 'I do not know,' if you do not know a certain thing. Allah said to His Prophet: 'Say (O Muhammad ﷺ): No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor I am one of the Mutakallifan (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).'" (V.38:86) "The Quraish delayed in embracing Islam for a period, so the Prophet ﷺ invoked evil on them, saying, 'O Allah! Help me against them by sending on them seven (years of drought) famine like those of Yusuf (Joseph). So they were afflicted with such a severe year of drought (famine) that they were destroyed therein and ate dead animals and bones. They started seeing something like smoke between the sky and the earth (because of severe hunger). Abū Sufyān then came (to the Prophet ﷺ) and said, 'O Muhammad! You came to order us for to keep good relations with kith and kin, and your kinsmen have now perished, so please invoke Allah (to relieve them).'" Then Ibn Mas'ūd recited: "Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke... (up to) ... You will revert." (V.10-15) Ibn Mas'ūd added, "Then the punishment was stopped, but truly, they reverted to heathenism (their old way). So Allāh تعالى (threatened them thus): 'On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest grasp.' (V.44:16) "And that was the day of the battle of Badr. Allāh's saying: 'Lizāma (the punishment)' refers to the day of (the battle of) Badr. Allāh's Statement:- 'Alif-Lām-Mīm. The Romans have been defeated... (up to) ... will be victorious.' (V.30:1-3) "(This Verse) indicates that the defeat of Byzantines has already passed."

4774 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، وَالأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ فِي كِنْدَةَ، فَقَالَ: يَجِيءُ دُخَانٌ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَسْمَاعِ المُنَافِقِينَ وَأَبْصَارِهِمْ، يَأْخُذُ المُؤْمِنَ كَهَيْئَةِ الزُّكَامِ، فَفَزِعْنَا، فَأَتَيْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَغَضِبَ فَجَلَسَ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ عَلِمَ فَلْيَقُلْ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ، فَإِنَّ مِنَ العِلْمِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ: لاَ أَعْلَمُ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ المُتَكَلِّفِينَ} ، وَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَبْطَئُوا عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ، فَدَعَا عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَيْهِمْ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ» فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَتَّى هَلَكُوا فِيهَا، وَأَكَلُوا المَيْتَةَ وَالعِظَامَ، وَيَرَى الرَّجُلُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، كَهَيْئَةِ الدُّخَانِ، فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ جِئْتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِصِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ، وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا فَادْعُ اللَّهَ، فَقَرَأَ: {فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ} [الدخان: 10] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {عَائِدُونَ} [الدخان: 15] أَفَيُكْشَفُ عَنْهُمْ عَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ إِذَا جَاءَ ثُمَّ عَادُوا إِلَى كُفْرِهِمْ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ البَطْشَةَ الكُبْرَى} [الدخان: 16]: يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَلِزَامًا: يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ {الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ} [الروم: 2] إِلَى {سَيَغْلِبُونَ} [الروم: 3]: وَالرُّومُ قَدْ مَضَى
