Sahih al-Bukhari 4363

It is related that Masruq said, "We visited 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud and he said, 'O people! If someone knows something, he should say it, but if he does not know it, he should say, "Allah knows best." Part of knowledge is that when someone does not know something, he should say about it, "Allah knows best." Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, said to His Prophet, "Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for it, nor am I a man of false pretentions.' (38:86)" I will tell you about the Smoke. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called Quraysh to Islam and they were slow in responding. He said, "O Allah, seven years like the years of Yusuf!" They suffered a drought which destroyed everything so that they were eating carrion and skins. It reached the point that a man would see a smoke between him and the sky because of their hunger. Allah Almighty says, "So be on the watch for a day when heaven brings forth a distinctive smoke, which enshrouds mankind. 'This is a painful punishment!' (So they prayed,) 'Our Lord, remove the punishment from us. We are really believers.' How can they expect a Reminder when a clear Messenger has already come to them. Then they turned away from him and said, 'An instructed madman!' We remove the punishment a little, and you revert!" (44:10-15) Will the punishment be removed on the Day of Rising?' Then he said, 'The punishment was removed from them and then they reverted to their disbelief, and so Allah seized them on the Day of Badr. Allah Almighty says, "On the day We launch the Great Assault We will certainly have Our revenge." (44:16)'" CCXCV: Tafsir of Surat az-Zumar Mujahid said that "Is someone who tries to shield himself with his face" (39:24) is when he is dragged on his face in the Fire. It is the words of Allah, "Who is better: he who will be thrown into the fire or he who will arrive in safety on the Day of Rising?" (41:40) "Dhi 'iwaj" (39:28) means confusion. "A man wholly owned by a single man" (39:29) is a metaphor for their false gods and the true God. "Yet they try to scare you with others apart from Him." (39:36) refers to idols. "Khawwalna" (39:49) means "we gave". "He who brings the truth" refers to the Qur'an "and he who confirms it." (39:33) The believer will be brought on the Day of Rising and will say, "This is what You gave me and I acted on what it contains." "Mutashakisun" (39:29) means "ill-tempered": difficult and not content with fairness. In "rajulan silman" (26:29), silm is like salim, sound. "Ishma'azzat" (26:45) is to be averse. "Bi-mafazatihim" (26:61) is derived from "fawz" (success). "Haffina" (26:75) means "to surround them in a circle" and "bi-hafafayhi" means "its sides". "Mutashabih" (39:23) is not from istisbah, meaning confusion, from it means that they resemble one another in confirmation. CCXCVI. "Say: 'O My slaves who have transgressed against yourselves do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful.'" (39:53)
