and his mother is a god. They are the Israelites, who are the kings of the Christians. The fourth said: You have lied; he is the servant of Allah, His messenger, and His spirit from His word. They are the Muslims. Each of them had followers based on what he said, so they fought, and [the view of the polytheists] prevailed over the Muslims. That is [the meaning of] His saying: "And they kill those who enjoin justice from among the people." Qatadah said: They are those of whom Allah said: "But the sects differed among themselves." He said: They differed concerning him and became sects. The people differed, and the Muslim person said: I adjure you... do you know that Jesus used to eat food, and that Allah does not eat food? They said: By Allah, yes. He said: Do you know that Jesus used to sleep, and that Allah does not sleep? They said: By Allah, yes. So the Muslims refuted them, and the [other] people slipped away. It was mentioned to us that the Jacobites prevailed on that day, and the Muslims were afflicted. So Allah sent down regarding that [in] the Quran: "So woe to those who disbelieved from the witnessing of a Great Day."

13134 - From Ibn 'Abbas regarding "Hear and see" [asmi' bihim wa absir], he says: The disbelievers on that day will say: "How well they hear and see!" yet today they do not hear and do not see.

It will be said: "Do you recognize this?" They will say: "Yes." Then Death will be brought in the form of a piebald ram. It will be said: "This is Death." It will be brought near and slaughtered. Then it will be said: "O people of Paradise, immortality and no death; and O people of the Fire, immortality and no death." Then he recited: "And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter has been decided."

13136 - From Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding His saying: "And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter has been decided," he said: When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, Death will come in the form of a piebald ram until it stands between Paradise and the Fire. Then a caller will call out: "O people of Paradise, this is Death..."
