18917 - From Ibn Mas'ud that it reached him that 'Ali says: "She shall observe the waiting period of the latest of the two durations." So he said: "Whoever wishes, I shall engage in Mula'ana (invoking the curse of Allah) with him; for the verse that was revealed in Surat al-Nisa' al-Qusra was revealed after Surat al-Baqarah, and [regarding] 'And for those who are pregnant, their period is until they give birth,' [it is] such and such months. So every divorced woman or one whose husband has died, her period is until she gives birth."(1)
His saying, the Almighty: "And of the earth, the like of them."
18918 - From Abu al-Duha, from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding His saying: "And of the earth, the like of them," he said: Seven earths, and in every earth there is a prophet like your prophet, Adam is like Adam, Nuh is like Nuh, Ibrahim is like Ibrahim, and 'Isa is like 'Isa. (2)
18919 - From Ibn 'Umar, he said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "The earths—between every earth and the one that follows it is a distance of five hundred years. The highest of them is upon the back of a whale whose two ends have met in the sky, and the whale is upon a rock, and the rock is in the hand of an angel. The second is the prison of the wind. When Allah desired to destroy 'Ad, He ordered the keeper of the wind to send a wind upon them to destroy 'Ad. The Jabbar (Almighty) said to him: 'Then the earth and whoever is upon it will be overturned; rather, send upon them [the amount] of a signet ring.' That is the one of which Allah said in His Book: 'It left nothing of what it came upon, but it made it like the decayed remnants.' The third contains the stones of Hell. The fourth contains the sulfur of Hell. They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, does the Fire have sulfur?' He said: 'Yes, by Him in Whose hand is my soul, it has valleys of sulfur that, if the firm mountains were cast into them, they would melt.' The fifth contains the serpents of Hell; their mouths are like valleys, they sting the disbeliever with a sting that leaves no flesh upon his bone. The sixth contains the scorpions of Hell; the smallest scorpion among them is like a saddled mule, it strikes the disbeliever with a blow that makes him forget the heat of Hell because of its strike. And the seventh contains Saqar, and in it is Iblis, shackled with iron, one hand in front of him and one behind him; and when Allah wills to release him for what He wills, He releases him." (3)

قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ
١٨٩١٨ - عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ قَالَ:
سَبْعُ أَرْضِينَ فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ نَبِّيٌّ كَنَبِيِّكُمْ، وَآدَمُ كَآدَمَ، وَنُوحٌ كَنُوحٍ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ كَإِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعِيسَى كَعِيسَى «٢» .
١٨٩١٩ - عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْأَرْضِينَ بَيْنَ كُلّ أَرْضٍ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ، وَالْعُلْيَا مِنْهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ حُوتٍ قَدِ الْتَقَى طَرَفَاهَ فِي السَّمَاء، وَالْحُوتُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ وَالصَّخْرَةُ بِيَدِ الْمَلَكِ، وَالثَّانِيَةُ مَسْجَنُ الرِّيحِ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَهْلِكَ عَادًا أَمَرَ خَازِنَ الرِّيحِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا يَهْلِكُ عَادًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجَبَّارُ: إِذَنْ تُكْفَأُ الْأَرْضُ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا، وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَدْرِ خَاتَمٍ، فَهِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ: مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ وَالثَّالِثَةُ فِيهَا حِجَارَةُ جَهَنَّمَ، وَالرَّابِعَةُ فِيهَا كِبْرِيتُ جَهَنَّمَ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِلنَّارِ كِبْرِيتٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ فِيهَا لاوْدِيَةً مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ لَوْ أُرْسِلَ فِيهَا الْجِبَالُ الرواسي لماعت، والخامسة فيا حَيَّاتُ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ أَفْوَاهَهَا كَالْأَوْدِيَةِ تَلْسَعُ الْكَافِرَ اللَّسْعَةَ فَلا تُبْقِي مِنْهُ لَحْمًا عَلَى وَضَمٍ، وَالسَّادِسَةُ فِيهَا عَقَارِبُ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى عَقْرَبَةٍ مِنْهَا كَالْبِغَالِ الْمُوكَفَةِ تَضْرَبُ الْكَافِرَ ضَرْبَةً يُنْسِيهِ ضَرْبُهَا حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ، وَالسَّابِعَةُ فِيهَا سَقْرُ وَفِيهَا إِبْلِيسُ مُصَفَّدٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ يَدٌ أَمَامَهُ وَيَدٌ خَلْفَهُ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ لِمَا شَاءَ أطلقه «٣» .
