4815. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: I asked 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr bin Al-'Āṣ to inform me of the worst thing Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ) had done to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. He said: "While Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was performing Salāt (prayer) in the courtyard of the Ka'bah, 'Uqba bin Abī Mu'āiṭ came and seized Allāh's Messenger ﷺ by the shoulder and twisted his garment round his neck and throttled him severely. Abū Bakr came and seized 'Uqba's shoulder and threw him away from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "Would you kill a man because he says: 'My Lord is Allāh,' and has come to you with clear signs (proofs) from your Lord?" (V.40:28)
(41) SŪRAT HĀ MĪM AS SAJDAH(The Prostration) or SŪRAT-FUṢṢILAT
(They are explained in detail)
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful.
Sa'īd said: A man said to Ibn 'Abbās, "I find in the Qur'an certain things which seem to me contradictory, for example Allāh says :-
'...There will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another.' (V.23:101) (yet He says :) 'And they will turn to one another and question one another.' (V.37:27)
'...But they will never be able to hide a single fact from Allāh.' (V.4:42) [Yet He reports what Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ) will say: ] '...By Allāh, our Lord, we were not those who joined others in worship with Allāh.' (V.6:23) According to this Verse, they will hide some facts.
Allāh says :
'Or is the heaven that He constructed?... (up to) ... He spread the earth.' (V.79: 27-30) In this Verse He mentions the creation of the heavens before the creation of the earth. Then He says: 'Say (O Muḥammad ﷺ): 'Do you verily, disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days... (up to) ...willingly.' (V.41:9-11) So He mentions in this Verse the creation of the earth before the heavens. And He says: '...Verily, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' (V.4:23) '...Allāh is Ever Most Powerful, All-Wise.' (V.4:56) '...Allāh is Ever All-Hearer, All-Seer.' (V.4:58) This seems to be something that was and has passed.'
Then Ibn 'Abbās answered, "There will be no relationship between them.' That is on the first blowing of the Trumpet. 'And so the
Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon, away except him whom Allāh wills...' (V.39:68) Then 'there will be no relationship between them, and at that time one will not ask another. Then, when the Trumpet will be blown for the second time, they will turn to one another and question one another.'
As for His Statement: '...We were not who joined others in worship with Allāh.' 'But they will not be able to hide a single fact from Allāh.' Allāh will forgive the sins of those who were sincere in their worship, whereupon Al-Mushrikūn will say (to each other), 'Come, let's say we never worshipped others besides Allāh.' But their mouths will be sealed and their hands will speak (the truth). At that time it will be evident that no speech can be concealed from Allāh, and those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger ﷺ will wish that they were buried in the earth, but they will never be able to hide a single fact from Allāh. (V.4:42).
Allāh created the earth in two days and then created the heavens, then He turned towards the heavens and gave it perfection in two (other) days. Then he spread the earth, and its spreading means the bringing of water and pasture out of it. He then created the mountains, the camels and the hillocks and whatever is in between them (the earth and the heaven) in two (other) days. That is the meaning of Allāh's saying: 'He spread it.' And His Saying: 'And He created the earth in two days.' So the earth and whatever is on it, was created in four days; and the heavens were created in two days.
(Concerning His Saying:) 'And Allāh is Oft-Forgiving.' He named Himself like that (so the naming has passed) but the contents of His Saying is still valid, for if Allāh ever
wants to do something, He surely fulfils what He wants. So you should not see contradiction in the Qur'an, for all of it is from Allāh."
