abandoned them a long time ago." He said: "Then, when Allah intended to punish them, He sent upon them intense heat." He said: "Neither a house, nor shade, nor anything benefited them." He said: "They set out seeking relief and coolness." He said: "One of them entered the shadow (the cloud) and found it cool, so he called out to the people: 'Coolness! Coolness!' When they had all gathered beneath it, Allah cast it down upon them. That is the meaning of His saying: 'But they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the shadow seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a great day.'
15937 - Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Hammad al-Tehrani informed us in what he wrote to me, [saying]: 'Abd al-Razzaq informed us, [saying]: Ma'mar informed us, [saying]: A man from among our companions narrated to me, from some of the scholars, [who] said: They had suspended a penalty, so Allah expanded their provision. Then they suspended another penalty, so Allah expanded their provision. They continued such that every time they suspended a penalty, Allah expanded their provision until, when Allah willed their destruction, He imposed upon them heat they could not escape from, and neither shade nor water benefited them. Then a man among them went forth and sought shelter under a shadow (cloud) and found relief in it. He called to his companions: 'Come to the relief!' They went to him quickly, and when they gathered within it and were all present, He ignited it with fire upon them. That is the meaning of His saying: 'The punishment of the day of the shadow. Indeed, it was the punishment of a great day.'
15940 - Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi informed us in what he wrote to me, [saying]: Asbagh ibn al-Faraj informed us, [who] said: I heard 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd regarding the saying of Allah: 'But they denied him, so the punishment of the day of the shadow seized them. Indeed, it was the punishment of a great day,' [who] said: Allah sent the shadow upon them and heated the sun over them, so they burned as locusts burn in a frying pan.
His saying (the Exalted): 'And indeed, it is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds.'
15941 - Abu 'Abd Allah al-Tehrani informed us in what he wrote to me, [saying]: 'Abd al-Razzaq informed us, [saying]: Ma'mar informed us, from Qatadah regarding His saying: 'And indeed, it is the revelation of the Lord of the worlds,' [who] said: The Qur'an.
His saying (the Exalted): 'The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down.'
15942 - Abu Sa'id al-Ashajj narrated to us, [saying]: Hafs al-Mukattib narrated to us, from Idris, from 'Atiyyah regarding: 'The Trustworthy Spirit,' [who] said: Gabriel.
And it was narrated from Muhammad ibn Ka'b, Qatadah, al-Suddi, al-Dahhak, and al-Zuhri something similar to that.
15943 - 'Ali ibn al-Husayn narrated to us, [saying]: Ahmad ibn al-Sabah narrated to us, [saying]: al-Khaffaf (meaning 'Abd al-Wahhab) narrated to us, from 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd and Isma'il, from al-Hasan: 'The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down with its weight,' [who] said: Allah caused Gabriel (peace be upon him) to descend.
عَطَّلْنَاهَا مُنْذُ زَمَانٍ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عُقَوبَتَهُمْ بَعَثَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرًّا شَدِيدًا، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَنْفَعْهُمْ بَيْتٌ وَلا ظِلٌّ وَلا شَيْءٌ قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقُوا يَرْتَادُونَ الرَّوْحَ وَالْبَرْدَ قَالَ: فَدَخَلَ دَاخِلٌ مِنْهُمُ الظُّلَّةَ فَوَجَدَهَا بَارِدَةً، فَأَذَّنَ فِي النَّاسِ الْبَرْدَ الْبَرْدَ، فَلَمَّا تَتَامُّوا تَحْتَهَا قَذَفَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْم الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْم عَظِيمٍ
١٥٩٣٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الطِّهْرَانِيُّ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ، حَدَّثَنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ بَعْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ قَالَ: كَانُوا عَطَّلُوا حَدًّا فَوَسَّعَ اللَّهُ فِي الرِّزْقِ، ثُمَّ عَطَّلُوا حَدًّا آخَرَ فَوَسَّعَ اللَّهُ فِي الرِّزْقِ، فَجَعَلُوا كُلَّمَا عَطَّلُوا حَدًّا وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الرِّزْقِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ هَلاكَهُمْ سَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَرًّا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَتَقَازُّوا فَلا يَنْفَعُهُمْ ظِلٌّ وَلا مَاءٌ، حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ذَاهِبٌ مِنْهُمْ فَاسْتَظَلَّ تَحْتَ ظُلَّةٍ فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا رَوْحًا فَنَادَى أَصْحَابَهُ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرَّوْحِ، فَذَهَبُوا إِلَيْهِ سِرَاعًا حَتَّى إِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا فِيهَا وَتَتَامُّوا أَلْهَبَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ نَارًا فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: عَذَابُ يَوْم الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْم عَظِيمٍ.
١٥٩٤٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنْبَأَ أَصْبَغُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ قَالَ:
سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ: فَأَخَذَهُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْم الظُّلَّةِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَذَابَ يَوْم عَظِيمٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمُ الظُّلَّةَ، وَأَحْمَى عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّمْسَ فَاحْتَرَقُوا كَمَا يَحْتَرِقُ الْجَرَادُ فِي الْمِقْلَى.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنْزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
١٥٩٤١ - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الطِّهْرَانِيُّ فِيمَا كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنْزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ: الْقُرْآنُ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ
١٥٩٤٢ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ، ثنا حَفْصُ الْمُكْتِبِ، عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ قَالَ: جِبْرِيلُ.
وَرُوِيَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، وَقَتَادَةَ، وَالسُّدِّيِّ، وَالضَّحَّاكِ، وَالزُّهْرِيِّ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ.
١٥٩٤٣ - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، ثنا الْخَفَّافُ يَعْنِي عَبْدَ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ: نَزَلَ بِثِقْلِهَا الرُّوحُ الأَمِينُ يَقُولُ:
نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ.
