An-Nasa'i recorded that Jabir said, "Mu`adh lead the Maghrib prayer and he
recited Al-Baqarah and An-Nisa'. So the Prophet said,
«أَفَتَّانٌ أَنْتَ
يَا مُعَاذُ، مَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقْرَأَ بِالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا وَنَحْوِهَا؟»
(Are you putting the people to trial O Mu`adh! Was it not sufficient for you
to recite As-Sama'i wat-Tariq, and Ash-Shamsi wa Duhaha, and something like
them)
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[وَالسَّمَآء
وَالطَّارِقِ- وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ- النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ- إِن كُلُّ
نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ- فَلْيَنظُرِ الإِنسَـنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ- خُلِقَ
مِن مَّآء دَافِقٍ- يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَآئِبِ- إِنَّهُ عَلَى
رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ- يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَآئِرُ- فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلاَ
نَاصِرٍ-]
(1. By the heaven, and At-Tariq;) (2. And what will make you to know what
At-Tariq is) (3. The star, Ath-Thaqib.) (4. There is no human being but has a
protector over him.) (5. So, let man see from what he is created!) (6. He is
created from a water gushing forth,) (7. Proceeding from between the backbone
and the ribs.) (8. Verily, He is Able to bring him back!) (9. The Day when all
the secrets will be examined.) (10. Then he will have no power, nor any
helper.)
