Narrated `Urwa: I asked `Aisha the wife of the Prophet about the meaning of the following Verse: -- "(Respite will be granted) 'Until when the apostles give up hope (of their people) and thought that they were denied (by their people)..............."(12.110) `Aisha replied, "Really, their nations did not believe them." I said, "By Allah! They were definite that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspecting." `Aisha said, "O 'Uraiya (i.e. `Urwa)! No doubt, they were quite sure about it." I said, "May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the apostles thought that Allah did not help them?" Aisha said, "Allah forbid! (Impossible) The Apostles did not suspect their Lord of such a thing. But this Verse is concerned with the Apostles' followers who had faith in their Lord and believed in their apostles and their period of trials was long and Allah's Help was delayed till the apostles gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers amongst their nation and suspected that even their followers were shaken in their belief, Allah's Help then came to them."

Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said, "The honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable, (was) Joseph, the son of Jacob! the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham."

That (in Surah Sad) «اركض‏ برجلك» means «اضرب‏» (that is, strike your foot on the ground), «يركضون‏» means «يعدون‏» (in Surah Anbiya, that is, they run).

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "While Job was naked, taking a bath, a swarm of gold locusts fell on him and he started collecting them in his garment. His Lord called him, 'O Job! Have I not made you rich enough to need what you see? He said, 'Yes, O Lord! But I cannot dispense with your Blessing."'

And from Our mercy, We made for them their brother Harun (Aaron), a prophet. The word «نجي‏.‏» is used for singular, dual, and plural. In Surah Yusuf, it is said: «خلصوا نجيا.‏» meaning, they went aside to consult (if the word «نجي‏.‏» is used for the singular). Its plural will be «أنجية‏» . In Surah Al-Mujadila, the word «يتناجون» is also derived from this.

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet returned to Khadija while his heart was beating rapidly. She took him to Waraqa bin Naufal who was a Christian convert and used to read the Gospels in Arabic Waraqa asked (the Prophet), "What do you see?" When he told him, Waraqa said, "That is the same angel whom Allah sent to the Prophet) Moses. Should I live till you receive the Divine Message, I will support you strongly."

The meaning of «آنست‏» is: "I have seen a fire (you stay here), I will bring you a spark from it." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The meaning of «مقدس» is "blessed." «طوى‏» was the name of the valley where Allah the Exalted spoke to Musa (peace be upon him). «سيرتها‏» means "to the former state." «النهى‏» means "piety." «بملكنا‏» means "by our own choice." «هوى‏» means "became wretched." «فارغا‏» means "no thought remained in the heart except of Musa." «ردءا» means "helper or supporter." Both «يبطش بضم طا» and «يبطش بكسر طا» are valid recitations. «يأتمرون‏» means "they consult." «جذوة» means "a thick piece of wood from which no flame comes out (only fire is lit at its tip)." «سنشد‏ عضدك» means "We will help you." When you strengthen something, it is as if you have given it an «عضد» (arm). (All these explanations are narrated from Abdullah ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both.) Others have said: The meaning of «عقدة» is that not a single letter, even "ta" or "fa," should come out from the tongue. «أزري‏» means "back." «فيسحتكم‏» means "may he destroy you." «المثلى‏» is the feminine of «الأمثل» , meaning "they want to corrupt your religion." The Arabs say «خذ المثلى،‏‏‏‏ خذ الأمثل‏.‏» means "maintain good conduct, good way." «ثم ائتوا صفا‏» means "come in rows." The Arabs say: "Today, did you go to «صف» or not?" meaning "to the place of prayer." «فأوجس‏» means "the heart of Musa began to beat." The root of «خيفة‏» was «خوفة‏» , but due to «كسره ما قبل» , the "waw" was changed to "ya." «في جذوع النخل‏» means «على جذوع النخل‏» . «خطبك‏» means "your condition." «مساس‏» is a verbal noun from «ماسه» «مساسا» . «لا مساس‏» means "neither should it touch you, nor you touch anyone." «لننسفنه‏» means "We will turn it to ashes and scatter it in the river." «لا تضحي» is from «ضحى» , meaning "heat." «قصيه‏» means "follow behind it." Sometimes the meaning of «قصص» is "to say" and "to explain." (In Surah Yusuf) From this comes «نحن نقص عليك‏» . The words «عن جنب‏» , «عن جنابة» , and «عن اجتناب» all have the same meaning, i.e., "from afar." Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said «على قدر‏» means "upon the promise." «لا تنيا‏» means "do not be lazy." «يبسا‏» means "dry." «من زينة القوم‏» means "from the jewelry which the Children of Israel had borrowed from the people of Pharaoh." «فقذفتها‏» means "I threw it." «ألقى‏» means "he made." «فنسي‏» means that Samiri and his people say that Musa (peace be upon him) made a mistake by not considering this calf as God and going elsewhere. «أن لا يرجع إليهم قولا» means "that calf could not answer their words."

Narrated Malik bin Sasaa: Allah's Apostle talked to his companions about his Night Journey to the Heavens. When he reached the fifth Heaven, he met Aaron. (Gabriel said to the Prophet), "This is Aaron; greet him." The Prophet said, "I greeted him, and he returned the greeting saying, 'Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. Gabriel said, 'Drink whichever you like.' I took the milk and drank it. Gabriel said, 'You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.' "

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta.
