and I shall cause you to bleed just as you caused this tree to bleed (1).
551- It was narrated to me on the authority of ʿAmmār, he said: Ibn Abī Jaʿfar narrated to us, from his father, from al-Rabīʿ, from al-Ḥasan regarding His statement: "And they will have therein purified spouses", he said: Purified from menstruation.
552- ʿAmr ibn ʿAlī narrated to us, he said: Khālid ibn Yazīd narrated to us, he said: Abū Jaʿfar al-Rāzī narrated to us, from al-Rabīʿ ibn Anas, from al-Ḥasan regarding His statement: "And they will have therein purified spouses", he said: From menstruation.
553- ʿAmr narrated to us, he said: Abū Muʿāwiya narrated to us, he said: Ibn Jurayj narrated to us, from ʿAṭāʾ regarding His statement: "And they will have therein purified spouses", he said: From childbirth, menstruation, feces, and urine, and he mentioned things of this sort (2).
The commentary on the interpretation of His statement: {And they will abide therein eternally (25)}
Abū Jaʿfar said: He, exalted be His mention, means by that: And those who believed and performed righteous deeds shall abide eternally in the gardens. And the pronoun "hum" (they) in His statement: "And they" refers back to those who believed and performed
Notes
- (1) In the manuscript: "kamā dummiyat" with a shaddah on the mīm, and both are equivalent, meaning thereby menstrual blood. This report was quoted by Ibn Kathīr (1/115) from this place, and in it is "admat", as in the printed edition here. Ibn Kathīr said after citing it: "And this is singular (gharīb)."
- (2) Reports 538–553: Some of them are in Ibn Kathīr (1/115), al-Durr al-Manthūr (1/39), and al-Shawkānī (1/42), and we disliked lengthening by detailing their references one by one. Ibn Kathīr (1/115–116) quoted a marfūʿ hadith with this meaning—meaning purified "from menstruation, feces, mucus, and spittle"—from the Tafsīr of Ibn Mardawayh with his chain of transmission—from the route of Muḥammad ibn ʿUbayd al-Kindī from ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn ʿUmar al-Bazīʿī from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak from Shuʿba from Qatāda from Abū Naḍra from Abū Saʿīd, directly attributed to the Prophet (marfūʿ). He said: "This is a singular (gharīb) hadith." Then he quoted from al-Ḥākim that he narrated it in al-Mustadrak from this route, and that he authenticated it according to the criteria of the two Sheikhs. Then he said: "And this which he claimed is subject to review, for this ʿAbd al-Razzāq ibn ʿUmar al-Bazīʿī—Abū Ḥātim ibn Ḥibbān al-Bustī said regarding him: It is not permissible to use him as proof. I say: What is more apparent is that this is from the words of Qatāda, as preceded." And it is as Ibn Kathīr said. See al-Mīzān (2/126).
