68: 269: They do not die: 1: Ibn Kathir said: This is the completion of happiness, for they are—along with this bliss—in a secure position, safe from death and interruption. There is no end to it, nor expiration; rather, they are in everlasting, eternal bliss, forever. May Allah be the One beseeched to gather us in their company; He is indeed Generous, Noble, Righteous, and Merciful. (Tafsir 1/63).

Narrated by Ibn Sa'd in "al-Tabaqat" (1/2/158), al-Kanz (18603, 6208), and Ibn al-Mubarak in "al-Zuhd" (178, 219).

: 274: For Allah: 2: Al-Qurtubi said regarding the Almighty's saying: "But as for those who disbelieve"—in the dialect of the tribes of Banu Tamim and Banu 'Amir regarding "amma," it is "ayyuma," replacing one of the two yā's with an alif, disliking the doubling (tashdid). On this, the verse of 'Umar ibn Abi Rabi'ah is cited:

'I saw a man, ayyuma, when the sun declines, he stands in the heat, and ayyuma in the evening, he is restricted.'

70: 285: Their defiance (fisqihim): 1: Ibn Kathir said: The Arabs say "fasaqat al-ratba" (the date became defiant/slipped out) when its skin comes off. That is why the mouse is called "fuwaysiqah" (a little defiant creature) because it emerges from its burrow to cause corruption.

It is confirmed in the Two Sahihs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) on the authority of 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Five defiant creatures (fawasiq) are to be killed in the state of being free of ihram and in the state of ihram: the crow, the kite, the scorpion, the mouse, and the biting dog."
