Saheeh Seerah Al Albaanee English

ecompense the Ẓhaalimoon (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.).} [Surah al-Anbiyaa’
(21): 26-29]
Concerning the good impression made upon the polytheists by what al-Zaba`ra said,
Allaah تعاىل revealed:
‏﴿وَلَمَّاُض رِبَ‏ ‏ُاب ن ‏ُمَر ميََُمَثَال ‏ُإِذَاُقَو م كَ‏ ‏ُمِن ه ‏ُيَصِدُُّونَُ*ُوَقَال واُأَآَلَِت نَاُخَي ر ‏ُأَم ‏ُه وَُُۖمَاُضَرَب وه ‏ُلَكَ‏ ‏ُإِّلَّ‏ ُ
جَدَّل ‏ُُۖبَل ‏ُه م ‏ُقَو م ‏ُخَصِم ونَ﴾‏
{And when the son of Maryam is quoted as an example [i.e. `Eesaa is worshipped like
their idols), behold! Your people cry aloud (laugh out at the example). And say: “Are
our Aalihah (gods) better or is he [`Eesaa]?” They quoted not the above example
except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people.} [Surah al-Zukhruf (43):
57-58] 274
274 (Shaikh al-Albaanee said): Ibn Is-ḥaaq reported it in his “al-Seerah” (1/384-386) in “Mu`allaq” form, and from
his route, Ibn Jareer reported it in his “Tafseer” (17/96-97). Then he (Ibn Jareer) reported it with a connected
chain from the route of Sa`eed Ibn Jubair, from Ibn `Abbaas, but a concise narration than this, and without
mentioning the Aayah about the Angels. Similarly, al-Ḥaakim also reported this in “al-Mustadrak” (3449), from the
route of `Ikrimah, from Ibn `Abbaas, and he said: “Its chain is “Ṣaḥeeḥ””, and al-Dhahabee agreed with him. And
the author (Ibn Katheer) mentioned it in his “Tafseer”, from the narration of Ibn Mardawaih. Al-Ḍhiyaa’ reported
it in “al-Mukhtaarah” (351), from another route, from `Ikrimah, from Ibn `Abbaas, with a narration more
complete than this. Al-Suyooṭee mentioned the same in “al-Durr” (4/338) and added: “Abu Dawood reported it in
“Naasikhah”, and as did Ibn al-Mundhir, and Ibn Mardawaih, and al-Ṭabaraanee from another route from Ibn
`Abbaas, with a narration more complete than this.”
[TN: Ibn `Abbaas رضيُاهللُعنهما said: There is an Aayah in the Book of Allaah عزُوجل which the people do not inquire,
and I don’t know if they know it, nor do they ask me about it. So he was asked: Which Aayah is it? He said: When
the (following) Aayah was revealed:
‏﴿إِنَّك م ‏ُوَمَاُتَع ب د ونَُمِنُد ونُِاللَّهُِحَصَب ‏ُجَهَنَّمَُأَنت م ‏َُلََاُوَارِد ونَ﴾‏
{Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allaah, are (but) fuel for Hell!
(Surely), you will enter it.}
The people (Mushriks) of Makkah found it very disturbing and they said: Muḥammad has insulted our gods. Ibn
al-Zaba`ra came to them and said: What is the matter with you? They said: ‘Muḥammad has insulted our gods.’
He (Ibn al-Zuba`ra) said: ‘What did he say?’ They said: He (Muḥammad) said:
‏﴿إِنَّك م ‏ُوَمَاُتَع ب د ونَُمِنُد ونُِاللَّهُِحَصَب ‏ُجَهَنَّمَُأَنت م ‏َُلََاُوَارِد ونَ﴾‏
{Certainly! You (disbelievers) and that which you are worshipping now besides Allaah, are (but) fuel for Hell!
(Surely), you will enter it.}
