Ibn `Abbas said, "As-Sakhkhah is one of the names of the Day of Judgement
that Allah has magnified and warned His servants of.'' Ibn Jarir said, "Perhaps
it is a name for the blowing into Trumpet.'' Al-Baghawi said, "As-Sakhkhah means
the thunderous shout of the Day of Judgement. It has been called this because it
will deafen the ears. This means that it pierces the hearing to such an extent
that it almost deafens the ears.''
[يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ
الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ - وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ - وَصَـحِبَتِهُ وَبَنِيهِ ]
(That Day shall a man flee from his brother. And from his mother and his
father. And from his wife and his children.) meaning, he will see them and then
flee from them, and seek to get away from them because horror will be so great
and the matter will be so weighty. There is an authentic Hadith related
concerning the intercession that states that every one of the great Messengers
of firm resolve will be requested to intercede with Allah on behalf of the
creation, but each of them will say, "O myself! O myself! Today I will not ask
You (O Allah) concerning anyone but myself.'' Even `Isa bin Maryam will say, "I
will not ask Him (Allah) concerning anyone but myself today. I will not even ask
Maryam, the woman who gave birth to me.'' Thus, Allah says,
[يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ
الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ - وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ - وَصَـحِبَتِهُ وَبَنِيهِ ]
(That Day shall a man flee from his brother, and from his mother and his
father, and from his wife and his children.) Qatadah said, "The most beloved and
then the next most beloved, and the closest of kin and then the next closest of
kin -- due to the terror of that Day.'' Allah said,
[لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ
مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ ]
(Every man that Day will have enough to make him careless of others.)
meaning, he will be preoccupied in his business and distracted from the affairs
of others. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from Ibn `Abbas that the Messenger of Allah
said,
«تُحْشَرُونَ حُفَاةً
عُرَاةً مُشَاةً غُرْلًا»
(You will all be gathered barefoot, naked, walking and uncircumcised.) So his
wife said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will we look at or see each other's
nakedness'' The Prophet replied,
«لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ
مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ أو قال: مَا أَشْغَلَهُ عَنِ
النَّظَر»
(Every man among them on that Day will have enough (worries) to make him
careless of others) -- or he said: (he will be too busy to look.) Ibn `Abbas
narrated that the Prophet said,
«تُحْشَرُونَ حُفَاةً
عُرَاةً غُرْلًا»
(You will all be gathered barefoot, naked and uncircumcised.) So a woman
said, "Will we see or look at each others nakedness'' He replied,
«يَا فُلَانَةُ،
لِكُلِّ امْرِىءٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيه»
(O so-and-so woman! Every man among them on that Day will have enough
(worries) to make him careless of others.) At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is
Hasan Sahih.''
