Saba 34:14

Sheba · Juz 22 · Page 429

فَلَمَّا قَضَيۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ مَا دَلَّهُمۡ عَلَىٰ مَوۡتِهِۦٓ إِلَّا دَآبَّةُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ تَأۡكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُۥۖ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ ٱلۡجِنُّ أَن لَّوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٱلۡغَيۡبَ مَا لَبِثُواْ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ ١٤

And when We decreed for him [i.e., Solomon] death, nothing indicated to them [i.e., the jinn] his death except a creature of the earth eating his staff.1 But when he fell, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating punishment.2

2 translator’s notes
  1. Upon which he was leaning at the time of his death. A termite continued to gnaw into the stick until it collapsed under his weight.

    [1223] i.e., hard labor. This verse is evidence that the jinn do not possess knowledge of the unseen, which belongs exclusively to Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā).

Commentary on 34:14

ثُمَّ قالَ تَعالى: ﴿فَلَمّا قَضَيْنا عَلَيْهِ المَوْتَ ما دَلَّهم عَلى مَوْتِهِ إلّا دابَّةُ الأرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأتَهُ فَلَمّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الجِنُّ أنْ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الغَيْبَ ما لَبِثُوا في العَذابِ المُهِينِ﴾ .

لَمّا بَيَّنَ عَظَمَةَ سُلَيْمانَ وتَسْخِيرَ الرِّيحِ والرُّوحِ لَهُ، بَيَّنَ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْجُ مِنَ المَوْتِ، وأنَّهُ قَضى عَلَيْهِ المَوْتَ، تَنْبِيهًا لِلْخَلْقِ عَلى أنَّ المَوْتَ لا بُدَّ مِنهُ، ولَوْ نَجا مِنهُ أحَدٌ لَكانَ سُلَيْمانُ أوْلى بِالنَّجاةِ مِنهُ، وفِيهِ مَسائِلُ:

المَسْألَةُ الأُولى: كانَ سُلَيْمانُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ يَقِفُ في عِبادَةِ اللَّهِ لَيْلَةً كامِلَةً ويَوْمًا تامًّا وفي بَعْضِ الأوْقاتِ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهِ، وكانَ لَهُ عَصًا يَتَّكِئُ عَلَيْها واقِفًا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّهِ، ثُمَّ في بَعْضِ الأوْقاتِ كانَ واقِفًا عَلى عادَتِهِ في عِبادَتِهِ إذْ تُوُفِّيَ، فَظَنَّ جُنُودُهُ أنَّهُ في العِبادَةِ وبَقِيَ كَذَلِكَ أيّامًا وتَمادى شُهُورًا، ثُمَّ أرادَ اللَّهُ إظْهارَ الأمْرِ لَهم، فَقَدَّرَ أنْ أكَلَتْ دابَّةُ الأرْضِ عَصاهُ فَوَقَعَ وعُلِمَ حالُهُ.

وقَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿فَلَمّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الجِنُّ أنْ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الغَيْبَ ما لَبِثُوا في العَذابِ المُهِينِ﴾ كانَتِ الجِنُّ تَعْلَمُ ما لا يَعْلَمُهُ الإنْسانُ فَظَنَّ أنَّ ذَلِكَ القَدْرَ عِلْمُ الغَيْبِ ولَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ، بَلِ الإنْسانُ لَمْ يُؤْتَ مِنَ العِلْمِ إلّا قَلِيلًا فَهو أكْثَرُ الأشْياءِ الحاضِرَةِ لا يَعْلَمُهُ، والجِنُّ لَمْ تَعْلَمْ إلّا الأشْياءَ الظّاهِرَةَ وإنْ كانَتْ خَفِيَّةً بِالنِّسْبَةِ إلى

صفحة ٢١٧

الإنْسانِ، وتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الأمْرُ بِأنَّهم لا يَعْلَمُونَ الغَيْبَ إذْ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَهُ لَما بَقُوا في الأعْمالِ الشّاقَّةِ ظانِّينَ أنَّ سُلَيْمانَ حَيٌّ. وقَوْلُهُ: ﴿ما لَبِثُوا في العَذابِ المُهِينِ﴾ دَلِيلٌ عَلى أنَّ المُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الجِنِّ لَمْ يَكُونُوا في التَّسْخِيرِ؛ لِأنَّ المُؤْمِنَ لا يَكُونُ في زَمانِ النَّبِيِّ في العَذابِ المُهِينِ.

34:8

أَفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَم بِهِۦ جِنَّةُۢۗ بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فِي ٱلۡعَذَابِ وَٱلضَّلَٰلِ ٱلۡبَعِيدِ ٨

Has he invented about Allāh a lie or is there in him madness?" Rather, they who do not believe in the Hereafter will be in the punishment and [are in] extreme error.

34:9

أَفَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ مَا بَيۡنَ أَيۡدِيهِمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَهُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ إِن نَّشَأۡ نَخۡسِفۡ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ أَوۡ نُسۡقِطۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ كِسَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّكُلِّ عَبۡدٖ مُّنِيبٖ ٩

Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allāh].

34:10

۞ وَلَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا دَاوُۥدَ مِنَّا فَضۡلٗاۖ يَٰجِبَالُ أَوِّبِي مَعَهُۥ وَٱلطَّيۡرَۖ وَأَلَنَّا لَهُ ٱلۡحَدِيدَ ١٠

And We certainly gave David from Us bounty. [We said], "O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]." And We made pliable for him iron,

34:11

أَنِ ٱعۡمَلۡ سَٰبِغَٰتٖ وَقَدِّرۡ فِي ٱلسَّرۡدِۖ وَٱعۡمَلُواْ صَٰلِحًاۖ إِنِّي بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ بَصِيرٞ ١١

[Commanding him], "Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am Seeing."

34:12

وَلِسُلَيۡمَٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهۡرٞ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهۡرٞۖ وَأَسَلۡنَا لَهُۥ عَيۡنَ ٱلۡقِطۡرِۖ وَمِنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ مَن يَعۡمَلُ بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِۦۖ وَمَن يَزِغۡ مِنۡهُمۡ عَنۡ أَمۡرِنَا نُذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابِ ٱلسَّعِيرِ ١٢

And to Solomon [We subjected] the wind - its morning [journey was that of] a month - and its afternoon [journey was that of] a month, and We made flow for him a spring of [liquid] copper. And among the jinn were those who worked for him by the permission of his Lord. And whoever deviated among them from Our command - We will make him taste of the punishment of the Blaze.

34:13

يَعۡمَلُونَ لَهُۥ مَا يَشَآءُ مِن مَّحَٰرِيبَ وَتَمَٰثِيلَ وَجِفَانٖ كَٱلۡجَوَابِ وَقُدُورٖ رَّاسِيَٰتٍۚ ٱعۡمَلُوٓاْ ءَالَ دَاوُۥدَ شُكۡرٗاۚ وَقَلِيلٞ مِّنۡ عِبَادِيَ ٱلشَّكُورُ ١٣

They made for him what he willed of elevated chambers,1 statues,2 bowls like reservoirs, and stationary kettles. [We said], "Work, O family of David, in gratitude." And few of My servants are grateful.
