Today is 11th Sha’ban 1444AH (3 March 2023)
Commentary of the Qur’an (According to Sunnah)
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ” Nuh (Noah) will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, ‘Labbaik and Sa`daik, O my Lord!’ Allah will say, ‘Did you convey the Message?’ Nuh will say, ‘Yes.’ His nation will then be asked, ‘Did he convey the Message to you?’ They will say, ‘No Warner came to us.’ Then Allah will say (to Nuh), ‘Who will bear witness in your favor?’ He will say, ‘Muhammad and his followers. So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Rasul (i.e. Messenger of Allah, Muhammad ﷺ) will be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah “Thus We have made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Rasul (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves.” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2, vs 143)”
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، وَأَبُو أُسَامَةَ ـ وَاللَّفْظُ لِجَرِيرٍ ـ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، وَقَالَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” يُدْعَى نُوحٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ وَسَعْدَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ. فَيَقُولُ هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ. فَيُقَالُ لأُمَّتِهِ هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ مَا أَتَانَا مِنْ نَذِيرٍ. فَيَقُولُ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ. فَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ ”. {وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًا} وَالْوَسَطُ الْعَدْلُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4487
NOTES 📝
1. Allah honored this Ummah (i.e. followers of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) by making it a witness to the nations that have passed before. This is confirmed in the words of Allah: “Thus We have made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind …. ” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2, vs 143). In the hadith under review, the Prophet ﷺ informed us from the events of the Day of Resurrection, where Prophet Nuh will be denied by his people that he did not convey the message of Allah to them and that it will be the Prophet ﷺ and his followers (i.e. Muslims) that will testify that Nuh conveyed the Message to his people. The Prophet ﷺ explained that this is the meaning of the ayah in Surah al-Baqarah, 2, vs 143
2. There are some benefits in this hadith. Firstly, we see the evidence of the Tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur’an in the Sunnah. We also learn the proof that Ijmaa’ (consensus of righteous religious scholars) can be used as an argument (for a religious verdict). Additionally, we learn that this Ummah (i.e. the Prophet ﷺ and his followers) will be a witness for other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection. Lastly, that this Ummah is honored and favored by the Statement of Allah in Surah al-Baqarah vs 143 where they are referred to as justly balanced (see also Surah Aal-Imran vs 110).”
3. Imam Ibn Kathir in his tafsir of the ayah in Surah al-Baqarah vs 143 referenced a similar hadith collected by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad and narrated by Abu Sa`id al-Al-Khudri that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Wasat means the Adl (just). You will be summoned to testify that Nuh has conveyed (his Message), and I will attest to your testimony.” This was also recorded by Al-Bukhari, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i and Ibn Majah. Ibn Kathir also referenced another narration, also from Musnad of Imam Ahmad, where the Muslim Ummah will be asked how they knew Nuh conveyed the Message of Allah to his people and: “They would say, `Our Prophet (Muhammad ﷺ) came to us and told us that the Messengers have conveyed (their Messages).'” – Tafsir Ibn Kathir
