Sayyiduna Abu Jubairah bin Dhahak says: This verse was revealed about us, the Banu Salamah: {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوْا بِالْأَ لْقَابِ} … Do not call each other with offensive nicknames. The detail is that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, each of us had two or three names. When someone was called by one of those names, people would say: O Messenger of Allah! He gets angry at being called by this name. So this verse was revealed: {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوْا بِالْأَ لْقَابِ} … Do not call each other with offensive nicknames.

(Second chain) Abu Jubairah narrates from his uncles that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, arrived in Madinah, each of us had one or two nicknames. When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would call someone by his nickname, people would inform him, "O Messenger of Allah! He does not like this nickname." Then this verse was revealed: {وَلَا تَنَابَزُوْا بِالْأَ لْقَابِ} … Do not call each other by offensive nicknames.

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him), narrating regarding the interpretation of this verse {یَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَہَنَّمَ ہَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ} … "On the Day We will say to Hell, 'Are you filled?'" says: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hell will keep demanding, "Are there any more (to come)?" until the Glorious Lord places His blessed foot in it. Then it will say, "Enough, enough, by Your honor!" Then one part of Hell will draw in towards another (and it will be filled).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) that Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), saw Jibreel (Gabriel) (peace be upon him) in his true form twice. Once, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself requested Jibreel, he showed his true form, which filled the horizon. The second time was when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended with him (on the occasion of Isra and Mi'raj), as Allah Almighty said: {وَہُوَ بِالْأُفُقِ الْأَ عْلٰی ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلّٰی فَکَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَیْنِ أَ وْ أَدْنٰی فَأَ وْحٰی إِلٰی عَبْدِہِ مَا أَ وْحٰی} … while he was on the highest horizon. Then he drew near and hung suspended. Until he was at a distance of two bow-lengths or even closer. Then he revealed to Allah’s servant what He revealed. When Jibreel (peace be upon him) sensed his Lord, he assumed his true form and fell in prostration. Regarding this, the statement of Allah the Exalted is: {وَلَقَدْ رَآہُ نَزْلَۃً أُخْرٰی عِنْدَ سِدْرَۃِ الْمُنْتَہٰی عِنْدَہَا جَنَّۃُ الْمَأْوٰی إِذْ یَغْشَی السِّدْرَۃَ مَا یَغْشَی مَا زَاغَ الْبَصَرُ وَمَا طَغٰی لَقَدْ رَأٰ ی مِنْ آیَاتِ رَبِّہِ الْکُبْرٰی} … which he saw with his eyes. And once again he saw him descending at Sidrat al-Muntaha. Near it is the Garden of Refuge (Jannat al-Ma'wa). When there covered the lote tree that which covered it. The sight did not swerve nor did it transgress (its limit). And he certainly saw of the greatest signs of his Lord. They said: This refers to the being of Jibreel (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) near Sidrat al-Muntaha; he had six hundred wings. The narrator says: I asked Asim about the wings, but he refused to tell me. Then some of his students informed me that one wing spanned from the east to the west.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the saying of Allah Almighty {مَا کَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَارَاٰی} ... "The heart did not lie about what it saw." He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Jibreel in a beautiful garment; he had filled the space between the sky and the earth.

Masruq says: I was with Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and I said: Allah Almighty says: {وَلَقَدْ رَآہُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِینِ} ... Indeed, he (the Prophet, peace be upon him) saw him on the clear horizon. And He also said: {وَلَقَدْ رَآہُ نَزْلَۃً أُخْرٰی عِنْدَ سِدْرَۃِ الْمُنْتَھٰی۔} ... whom he saw with his eyes. And once again, he saw him descending near Sidrat al-Muntaha. Sayyida (Aisha) replied: Among this Ummah, I was the first to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about these two verses, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That was Jibreel (Gabriel), peace be upon him. In the form in which Jibreel (peace be upon him) was created, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him in that form only twice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him descending from the sky to the earth, and his great form filled the space between the sky and the earth.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, he said regarding the interpretation of this verse {مَا کَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَارَاٰی} … The heart did not deny what it saw. He said: Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, saw his Lord with his heart twice.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he said, regarding the explanation of Allah Almighty’s statement {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَۃُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ} …“The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split.”During the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the moon was split into two; one part was seen behind the (Hira) mountain and the other part above the mountain. Upon witnessing this miracle, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Bear witness.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Makkah asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a miracle, so the moon was split into two in Makkah. Then Allah the Exalted said: {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَۃُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَإِنْ یَرَوْا آیَۃًیُعْرِضُوْا وَیَقُولُوْا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ} … The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. Yet whenever they see a sign, they turn away and say, "This is passing magic."
