57:12
یَوۡمَ تَرَی الۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ وَ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ یَسۡعٰی نُوۡرُہُمۡ بَیۡنَ اَیۡدِیۡہِمۡ وَ بِاَیۡمَانِہِمۡ بُشۡرٰىکُمُ الۡیَوۡمَ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِیۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِہَا الۡاَنۡہٰرُ خٰلِدِیۡنَ فِیۡہَا ؕ ذٰلِکَ ہُوَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِیۡمُ ﴿ۚ۱۲﴾
On the Day you see the believing men and believing women, their light proceeding before them and on their right, [it will be said], “Your good tidings today are [of] gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein you will abide eternally.” That is what is the great attainment.
The Believers are awarded a Light on the Day of Resurrection, according to Their Good Deeds
Allah the Exalted states,
يَوْمَ تَرَى الْمُوْمِنِينَ وَالْمُوْمِنَاتِ
On the Day you shall see the believing men and the believing women —
Allah the Exalted states that the believers who spend in charity will come on the Day of Resurrection with their light preceding them in the area of the Gathering, according to the level of their good deeds.
As reported from Abdullah bin Mas`ud who explained this ayah:
يَسْعَى نُورُهُم بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ
their light running forward before them,
“They will pass over the Sirat according to their deeds. Some of them will have a light as large as a mountain, some as a date tree, some as big as a man in the standing position. The least among them has a light as big as his index finger, it is lit at times and extinguished at other times.”
Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir collected this Hadith.
Ad-Dahhak commented on the Ayah,
“Everyone will be given a light on the Day of Resurrection. When they arrive at the Sirat, the light of the hypocrites will be extinguished. When the believers see this, they will be concerned that their light also will be extinguished, just as the light of the hypocrites was. This is when the believers will invoke Allah, `O our Lord! Perfect our light for us.”‘
Allah’s statement,
وَبِأَيْمَانِهِم
(and in their right hands), Ad-Dahhak said:
“Their Books of Records.”
As Allah said:
فَمَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَـبَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ
So whosoever is given his record in his right hand. (17:71)
Allah said,
بُشْرَاكُمُ الْيَوْمَ جَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الاَْنْهَارُ
Glad tidings for you this Day! Gardens under which rivers flow,
meaning, it will be said to them, “Receive glad tidings this Day, of gardens beneath which rivers flow,
خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا
to dwell therein forever!,
you will remain therein forever,”
ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
Truly, this is the great success!
The Condition of the Hypocrites on the Day of Resurrection
Allah said
57:13
یَوۡمَ یَقُوۡلُ الۡمُنٰفِقُوۡنَ وَ الۡمُنٰفِقٰتُ لِلَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوا انۡظُرُوۡنَا نَقۡتَبِسۡ مِنۡ نُّوۡرِکُمۡ ۚ قِیۡلَ ارۡجِعُوۡا وَرَآءَکُمۡ فَالۡتَمِسُوۡا نُوۡرًا ؕ فَضُرِبَ بَیۡنَہُمۡ بِسُوۡرٍ لَّہٗ بَابٌ ؕ بَاطِنُہٗ فِیۡہِ الرَّحۡمَۃُ وَ ظَاہِرُہٗ مِنۡ قِبَلِہِ الۡعَذَابُ ﴿ؕ۱۳﴾
On the [same] Day the hypocrite men and hypocrite women will say to those who believed, “Wait for us that we may acquire some of your light.” It will be said, “Go back behind you and seek light.” And a wall will be placed between them with a door, its interior containing mercy, but on the outside of it is torment.
يَوْمَ يَقُولُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتُ لِلَّذِينَ امَنُوا انظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ
On the Day when the hypocrites men and women will say to the believers:”Wait for us! Let us get something from your light!”
Allah informs us in this Ayah of the terrible horrors, horrendous incidents and tremendous events that will take place on the Day of Resurrection in the Gathering Area. No one will be saved on that Day, except those who believed in Allah and His Messenger, obeyed Allah’s commands and avoided His prohibitions.
Al-`Awfi, Ad-Dahhak and others reported from Ibn Abbas:
“When the people are gathering in darkness, Allah will send light, and when the believers see the light they will march towards it. This light will be their guide from Allah to Paradise. When the hypocrites see the believers following the light, they will follow them. However, Allah will extinguish the light for the hypocrites and they will say (to the believers),
انظُرُونَا نَقْتَبِسْ مِن نُّورِكُمْ
(Wait for us! Let us get something from your light). The believers will reply (
قِيلَ
) by saying,
ارْجِعُوا وَرَاءكُمْ
(Go back to your rear!) to the dark area you were in, and
فَالْتَمِسُوا نُورًا
(Then seek a light!) look for a light there!”‘
Allah said,
فَضُرِبَ بَيْنَهُم بِسُورٍ لَّهُ بَابٌ بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ وَظَاهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ
So, a wall will be put up between them, with a gate therein. Inside it will be mercy, and outside it will be torment.
Al-Hasan and Qatadah said that the wall mentioned here is located between Paradise and Hellfire.
Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said that the wall mentioned in this Ayah is the wall that Allah described in His statement,
وَبَيْنَهُمَا حِجَابٌ
And between them will be a (barrier) screen. (7:46)
Similar was reported from Mujahid and others, and it is correct.
Allah said,
بَاطِنُهُ فِيهِ الرَّحْمَةُ
(Inside it will be mercy), meaning, Paradise and all that is in it,
وَظَاهِرُهُ مِن قِبَلِهِ الْعَذَابُ
(and outside it will be torment). meaning, the Hellfire,
This is according to Qatadah, Ibn Zayd and others.
Allah said
57:14
یُنَادُوۡنَہُمۡ اَلَمۡ نَکُنۡ مَّعَکُمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا بَلٰی وَ لٰکِنَّکُمۡ فَتَنۡتُمۡ اَنۡفُسَکُمۡ وَ تَرَبَّصۡتُمۡ وَ ارۡتَبۡتُمۡ وَ غَرَّتۡکُمُ الۡاَمَانِیُّ حَتّٰی جَآءَ اَمۡرُ اللّٰہِ وَ غَرَّکُمۡ بِاللّٰہِ الۡغَرُوۡرُ ﴿۱۴﴾
The hypocrites will call to the believers, “Were we not with you?” They will say, “Yes, but you afflicted yourselves and awaited [misfortune for us] and doubted, and wishful thinking deluded you until there came the command of Allah . And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah .
يُنَادُونَهُمْ أَلَمْ نَكُن مَّعَكُمْ
(The hypocrites) will call the believers:”Were we not with you?”
meaning, the hypocrites will call out to the believers saying, “Were we not with you in the life of the world, attending Friday prayers and congregational prayers Did we not stand with you on Mount `Arafah (during Hajj), participate in battle by your side and perform all types of acts of worship with you?”
قَالُوا بَلَى
The believers will reply:”Yes!…”
The believers will answer the hypocrites by saying, “Yes, you were with us,
وَلَكِنَّكُمْ فَتَنتُمْ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ وَارْتَبْتُمْ وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الاَْمَانِيُّ
But you led yourselves into temptations, you looked forward to our destruction; and you doubted (in faith) and you were deceived by false hopes, ”
Qatadah said,
وَتَرَبَّصْتُمْ
(you looked forward to destruction), “Of the truth and its people.”
وَارْتَبْتُمْ
(and you doubted), that Resurrection occurs after death,
وَغَرَّتْكُمُ الاَْمَانِيُّ
(and you were deceived by false hopes),
meaning:you said that you will be forgiven your sins; or, they say it means:this life deceived you;
حَتَّى جَاء أَمْرُ اللَّهِ
till the command of Allah came to pass.
meaning:you remained on this path until death came to you,
وَغَرَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ
And the deceiver deceived you in regard to Allah.
`the deceiver’ being Shaytan.
Qatadah said,
“They were deceived by Ash-Shaytan. By Allah! They remained deceived until Allah cast them into Hellfire.”
The meaning here is that the believers will answer the hypocrites by saying,
“You were with us in bodies which were heartless and devoid of intentions. You were cast in doubt and suspicion. You were showing off for people and remembered Allah, little.”
Mujahid commented,
“The hypocrites were with the believers in this life, marrying from among each other, yet betraying them even when they were associating with them. They were dead. They will both be given a light on the Day of Resurrection, but the light of the hypocrites will be extinguished when they reach the wall; this is when the two camps separate and part!”
Allah’s statement
57:15
فَالۡیَوۡمَ لَا یُؤۡخَذُ مِنۡکُمۡ فِدۡیَۃٌ وَّ لَا مِنَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا ؕ مَاۡوٰىکُمُ النَّارُ ؕ ہِیَ مَوۡلٰىکُمۡ ؕ وَ بِئۡسَ الۡمَصِیۡرُ ﴿۱۵﴾
So today no ransom will be taken from you or from those who disbelieved. Your refuge is the Fire. It is most worthy of you, and wretched is the destination.
فَالْيَوْمَ لَاا يُوْخَذُ مِنكُمْ فِدْيَةٌ وَلَاا مِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
So, this Day no ransom shall be taken from you, nor of those who disbelieved.
Allah’s statement,
مَأْوَاكُمُ النَّارُ
(Your abode is the Fire).
means, the Fire is your final destination and to it will be your return for residence,
هِيَ مَوْلَاكُمْ وَبِيْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
That is your protector, and worst indeed is that destination.
meaning, it is the worthy shelter for you rather than any other residence, because of your disbelief and doubt, and how evil is the Fire for Final Destination
57:16
اَلَمۡ یَاۡنِ لِلَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَنۡ تَخۡشَعَ قُلُوۡبُہُمۡ لِذِکۡرِ اللّٰہِ وَ مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الۡحَقِّ ۙ وَ لَا یَکُوۡنُوۡا کَالَّذِیۡنَ اُوۡتُوا الۡکِتٰبَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ فَطَالَ عَلَیۡہِمُ الۡاَمَدُ فَقَسَتۡ قُلُوۡبُہُمۡ ؕ وَ کَثِیۡرٌ مِّنۡہُمۡ فٰسِقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۶﴾
Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah and what has come down of the truth? And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and a long period passed over them, so their hearts hardened; and many of them are defiantly disobedient.
Encouraging Khushu` and the Prohibition of imitating the People of the Scriptures
Allah asks,
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ امَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ
Has not the time yet come for the believers that their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah? And that which has been revealed of the truth,
Allah asks, `Has not the time come for the believers to feel humility in their hearts by the remembrance of Allah and hearing subtle advice and the recitation of the Qur’an, so that they may comprehend the Qur’an, abide by it, and hear and obey.
Muslim recorded that Abdullah bin Mas`ud said,
“Only four years separated our acceptance of Islam and the revelation of this Ayah, in which Allah subtly admonished us,
أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ امَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ
Has not the time yet come for the believers that their hearts should be humble for the remembrance of Allah”
This is the narration Muslim collected, just before the end of his book.
An-Nasa’i also collected this Hadith in the Tafsir of this Ayah.
Allah’s statement,
وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الاَْمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ
Lest they become as those who received the Scripture before, and the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened,
Allah is prohibiting the believers from imitating those who were given the Scriptures before them, the Jews and Christians. As time passed, they changed the Book of Allah that they had, and sold it for a small, miserable price. They also abandoned Allah’s Book behind their back and were impressed and consumed by various opinions and false creeds. They imitated the way others behaved with the religion of Allah, making their rabbis and priests into gods beside Allah. Consequently, their hearts became hard and they would not accept advice; their hearts did not feel humbled by Allah’s promises or threats,
وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ
And many of them were rebellious.
meaning, in action;
therefore, their hearts are corrupt and their actions are invalid, just as Allah the Exalted said,
فَبِمَا نَقْضِهِم مِّيثَـقَهُمْ لَعنَّـهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا قُلُوبَهُمْ قَاسِيَةً يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَضِعِهِ وَنَسُواْ حَظَّا مِّمَّا ذُكِرُواْ بِهِ
So, because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them and made their hearts grow hard. They changed the words from their (right) places and have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. (5:13)
meaning, their hearts became corrupt and they hardened, and they acquired the behavior of changing Allah’s Speech from their appropriate places and meanings. They abandoned acts of worship that they were commanded to perform and committed what they were prohibited to do.
This is why Allah forbade the believers from imitating them in any way, be it basic or detailed matters.
Allah the Exalted said,
اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي الاَْرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا
قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الاْيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
57:17
اِعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اللّٰہَ یُحۡیِ الۡاَرۡضَ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِہَا ؕ قَدۡ بَیَّنَّا لَکُمُ الۡاٰیٰتِ لَعَلَّکُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ﴿۱۷﴾
Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its lifelessness. We have made clear to you the signs; perhaps you will understand.
Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death! Indeed We have made clear the Ayat to you, if you but understand.
This Ayah indicates that He brings subtleness to hearts after they have become hard, guides the confused after they were led astray, and relieves hardships after they have intensified. And just as Allah brings life back to the dead and dry earth by sending the needed abundant rain, He also guides the hardened hearts with the proofs and evidences of the Qur’an. The light (of faith) would have access to the hearts once again, after they were closed and, as a consequence, no guidance was able to reach them.
All praise is due to Him Who guides whomever He wills after they were misguided, Who misguides those who were led aright before. Surely, it is He Who does what He wills and He is the All-Wise, the Most Just in all that He does, the Most Subtle, the Most Aware, the Most High, the Proud
57:18
اِنَّ الۡمُصَّدِّقِیۡنَ وَ الۡمُصَّدِّقٰتِ وَ اَقۡرَضُوا اللّٰہَ قَرۡضًا حَسَنًا یُّضٰعَفُ لَہُمۡ وَ لَہُمۡ اَجۡرٌ کَرِیۡمٌ ﴿۱۸﴾
Indeed, the men who practice charity and the women who practice charity and [they who] have loaned Allah a goodly loan – it will be multiplied for them, and they will have a noble reward.
Reward for the Charitable, the True Believers and the Martyrs; and the Destination of the Disbelievers
Allah the Exalted says
إِنَّ الْمُصَّدِّقِينَ وَالْمُصَّدِّقَاتِ وَأَقْرَضُوا
Verily, those who give Sadaqat, men and women,
Allah the Exalted describes the reward that He will award to those who spend from their wealth, whether male or female, on the needy, the poor and the meek,
اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا
and lend Allah handsome loan,
meaning, they give in charity with a good heart seeking the pleasure of Allah. They do not seek worldly rewards or appreciation from those to whom they give in charity.
Allah’s statement,
يُضَاعَفُ لَهُمْ
it shall be increased manifold,
indicating that He will multiply the good deeds from tenfold, up to seven hundredfold and even more than that,
وَلَهُمْ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
and theirs shall be an honorable good reward.
theirs will be a generous, handsome reward, a good dwelling to return to and an honorable final destination.
Allah’s statement
57:19
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا بِاللّٰہِ وَ رُسُلِہٖۤ اُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الصِّدِّیۡقُوۡنَ ٭ۖ وَ الشُّہَدَآءُ عِنۡدَ رَبِّہِمۡ ؕ لَہُمۡ اَجۡرُہُمۡ وَ نُوۡرُہُمۡ ؕ وَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا وَ کَذَّبُوۡا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اُولٰٓئِکَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡجَحِیۡمِ ﴿٪۱۹﴾
And those who have believed in Allah and His messengers – those are [in the ranks of] the supporters of truth and the martyrs, with their Lord. For them is their reward and their light. But those who have disbelieved and denied Our verses – those are the companions of Hellfire.
وَالَّذِينَ امَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أُوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ
And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers — they are the Siddiqun.
This completes His description of those who have faith in Him and in His Messengers, by describing them as Siddiqun, true believers.
Al-Awfi reported from Ibn Abbas about
وَالَّذِينَ امَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ أُوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ
(And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers — they are the Siddiqun) that its meaning does not continue to the next Ayah,
وَالشُّهَدَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ
(and the martyrs (are) with their Lord. They shall have their reward and their light).
Abu Ad-Duha (stopped after he) recited,
أُوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ
(they are the Siddiqun), then initiated recitation:
وَالشُّهَدَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ
(and the martyrs (are) with their Lord).
Masruq, Ad-Dahhak, Muqatil bin Hayyan and others said similarly.
Al-A`mash narrated from Abu Ad-Duha from Masruq from Abdullah bin Mas`ud commented on Allah’s statement,
وْلَيِكَ هُمُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ
وَالشُّهَدَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ
(they are the Siddiqun, and the martyrs with their Lord),
“They are of three categories,” meaning
– there are those who spend in charity,
– the Siddiqun and
– the martyrs.
Allah the Exalted said,
وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـيِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّـلِحِينَ
And whoso obey Allah and the Messenger, then they will be in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His grace, of the Prophets, the Siddiqin, the martyrs, and the righteous. (4:69)
Therefore, Allah made a distinction between the Siddiqin and the martyrs, indicating that they are of two distinct categories, so there is no doubt that Siddiq is a better status than the martyr.
Imam Malik bin Anas recorded in his Muwatta’ that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah said,
إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ لَيَتَرَاءَوْنَ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ كَمَا تَتَرَاءَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ الْغَابِرَ فِي الاُْفُقِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ أَوِ الْمَغْرِبِ لِتَفَاضُلِ مَا بَيْنَهُم
The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the east or in the west on the horizon, because of their superiority over one another.
On that the people said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Are these lofty mansions for the Prophets whom none else can reach”
The Prophet replied,
بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ رِجَالٌ امَنُوا بِاللهِ وَصَدَّقُوا الْمُرْسَلِين
No! By Him in Whose Hand is my soul! these are for men who believe in Allah and believe in the Messengers.
Al-Bukhari and Muslim also collected this Hadith.
Allah’s statement,
وَالشُّهَدَاء عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ
and the martyrs with their Lord.
means that they will be in the gardens of Paradise, as recorded in the Sahih:
إِنَّ أَرْوَاحَ الشُّهَدَاءِ فِي حَوَاصِلِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَسْرَحُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَتْ ثُمَّ تَأْوِي إِلَى تِلْكَ الْقَنَادِيلِ فَاطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ اطِّلَعَةً فَقَالَ مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ فَقَالُوا نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرُدَّنَا إِلَى الدَّارِ الدُّنْيَا فَنُقَاتِلَ فِيكَ فَنُقْتَلَ كَمَا قُتِلْنَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ قَضَيْتُ أَنَّهُمْ إِلَيْهَا لَا يَرْجِعُون
The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds, who fly wherever they wish in Paradise and then return to their nests in chandeliers. Once your Lord cast a glance at them and said,
`Do you want anything”
They said, “We wish that You return us to the life of the world, so that we may fight in Your cause and be killed as we were killed the first time.”
Allah said, “I have decreed that they shall not be returned to it again.”
Allah’s statement,
لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ وَنُورُهُمْ
They shall have their reward and their light,
means that Allah will grant them a generous reward and a tremendous light that will precede before them. In this, the believers vary regarding the level of reward they receive, according to their good actions in the life of this world.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Umar bin Al-Khattab said that he heard the Messenger of Allah say,
الشُّهَدَاءُ أَرْبَعَةٌ
رَجُلٌ مُوْمِنٌ جَيِّدُ الاِْيمَانِ لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ فَقُتِلَ فَذَاكَ الَّذِي يَنْظُرُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ هكَذَا
There are four ranks of martyrs.
– The first is a man who believes and who is true in faith, who meets the enemy (in battle), fulfills his duty to Allah and is killed. This is the type that the people will look up to (his level in Paradise), like this.
The Prophet raised his head until his cap fell off his head, and the same happened to Umar.
The Prophet continued,
وَالثَّانِي مُوْمِنٌ لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَكَأَنَّمَا يُضْرَبُ ظَهْرُهُ بِشَوْكِ الطَّلْحِ جَاءَهُ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَقَتَلَهُ فَذَاكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ
وَالثَّالِثُ رَجُلٌ مُوْمِنٌ خَلَطَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَاخَرَ سَيِّيًا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتْى قُتِلَ فَذَاكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ
وَالرَّابِعُ رَجُلٌ مُوْمِنٌ أَسْرَفَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ إِسْرَافًا كَثِيرًا لَقِيَ الْعَدُوَّ فَصَدَقَ اللهَ حَتْى قُتِلَ فَذَاكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الرَّابِعَة
– The second is a believer who meets the enemy and is struck by a stray arrow which causes him to die. This believer is in the second grade.
– The third is a believer who has combined good deeds with evil deeds; he meets the enemy and is truthful to his duty to Allah until he is killed. This is the third category.
– And the fourth is a believer who has committed sins excessively, so he meets the enemy and is truthful to his duty to Allah, and is killed. This is the fourth category.
`Ali bin Al-Madini also reported this Hadith and said, “This Egyptian chain is Salih useful.”
At-Tirmidhi said, “Hasan Gharib.”
Allah’s statement,
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَكَذَّبُوا بِأيَاتِنَا أُوْلَيِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَحِيمِ
But those who disbelieve and deny Our Ayat — they shall be the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
mentions the destination and the condition of the miserable ones, after Allah mentioned the destination and rewards of the happy ones
