And Mujahid said «جمالات» the thick ropes of a ship. «اركعوا» Pray. «لا يركعون» They do not pray. Someone asked Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the differences in the Quran: in one place it is mentioned that the disbelievers will not speak; in another place, it is said that the disbelievers will swear that they were not polytheists in the world; and in a third place, it is mentioned that We will seal their mouths. He said: On the Day of Resurrection, the disbelievers will be in different states—sometimes they will speak, and sometimes their mouths will be sealed.

Narrated `Abdullah: We were with the Prophet when Surat Wal-Mursalat was revealed to him. While we were receiving it from his mouth, a snake suddenly came and we ran to kill it, but it outstripped us and entered its hole quickly. Allah's Messenger said, "It has escaped your evil, and you too, have escaped its evil."

Narrated `Abdullah: (Similarly--as no. 452 above.)

Narrated `Abdullah: While we were with Allah's Messenger in a cave, Surat "Wal Mursalat" was revealed to him and we received it directly from his mouth as soon as he had received the revelation. Suddenly a snake came out and Allah's Messenger said, "Get at it and kill it!" We ran to kill it but it outstripped us. Allah's Apostle said, "It has escaped your evil, as you too, have escaped its."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: (as regards the explanation of Hadith 454). 'Indeed, it (Hell) throws about sparks (huge) as Forts.' We used to collect wood in the form of logs, three cubits long or shorter. for heating purposes in winter., and we used to call such wood, the Qasr.

'Amr bin 'Ali narrated to us, he said: Yahya narrated to us, he said: Sufyan informed us, from 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abis, and he heard from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) regarding the verse «ترمي بشرر‏ كالقصر» . He said: We used to pick up sticks three arm-lengths long or even longer and keep them for winter. We used to call such sticks «قصر‏.‏» , and «كأنه جمالات صفر‏» refers to the ropes of a boat which are joined together until they become as thick as a man's waist.

Narrated `Abdullah: While we were with the Prophet in a cave, Surat wal-Mursalat was revealed to him and he recited it, and I heard it directly from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation. Suddenly a snake sprang at us, and the Prophet said, "Kill it!" We ran to kill it but it escaped quickly. The Prophet said. "It has escaped your evil, and you too have escaped its evil."

Mujahid said the meaning of «لا يرجون حسابا‏» is that they do not fear (the reckoning) of deeds. «لا يملكون منه خطابا‏» means that out of fear, they will not be able to speak to Him except when they are permitted to speak. «صوابا» means the one who spoke the truth in the world and acted upon it. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said «وهاجا‏» means bright, shining. Others said «غساقا» , «غسقت» , «عيينه» is derived from it, meaning his eye became darkened, and from this is «يغسق لجراح» , meaning the wound is flowing. «غساق» and «غسيق» both have the same meaning, that is, the blood and pus of the people of Hell. «عطاء حسابا‏» means full recompense. The Arabs say «أعطاني ما أحسبني‏.‏» , meaning I have been given so much that it sufficed me.

Narrated Al--A`mash: Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Messenger said, 'Between the two sounds of the trumpet, there will be forty." Somebody asked Abu Huraira, "Forty days?" But he refused to reply. Then he asked, "Forty months?" He refused to reply. Then he asked, "Forty years?" Again, he refused to reply. Abu Huraira added. "Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection." (See Hadith No. 338)

Mujahid said that by «الآية الكبرى‏» is meant the staff of Musa (Moses), peace be upon him, and his hand. Both «عظاما ناخرة» and «ناخرة» have been recited, just as «طامع» , «طمع» , «باخل» , and «بخيل» . And some have said there is a difference between «نخرة» and «ناخرة» . «نخرة» refers to a decayed bone, and «ناخرة» is a hollow bone which, when air passes through it, produces a sound. And Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said «حافرة‏» means our condition in this worldly (life). Others have said «أيان مرساها‏» means, "What is its end?" This word is derived from «مرسى السفينة» , meaning the place where a boat finally comes to rest.
