It has already been mentioned on the authority of An-Nu`man bin Bashir that
the Messenger of Allah used to recite Surat Al-A`la (87) and Al-Ghashiyah in the
`Id and Friday prayers. Imam Malik recorded that Ad-Dahhak bin Qays asked
An-Nu`man bin Bashir, "What else did the Messenger of Allah recite on Friday
along with Surat Al-Jumu`ah'' An-Nu`man replied, "Al-Ghashiyah (88).'' This
narration has been recorded by Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i, Muslim and Ibn Majah.
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ ]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[هَلْ أَتَاكَ
حَدِيثُ الْغَـشِيَةِ - وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَـشِعَةٌ - عَامِلَةٌ نَّاصِبَةٌ -
تَصْلَى نَاراً حَامِيَةً - تُسْقَى مِنْ عَيْنٍ ءَانِيَةٍ - لَّيْسَ لَهُمْ
طَعَامٌ إِلاَّ مِن ضَرِيعٍ - لاَّ يُسْمِنُ وَلاَ يُغْنِى مِن جُوعٍ ]
(1. Has there come to you the narration of Al-Ghashiyah (the overwhelming))
(2. Some faces that Day will be Khashi`ah.) (3. Laboring, weary.) (4. They will
enter into Fire, Hamiyah.) (5. They will be given to drink from a boiling
(Aniyah) spring,) (6. No food will there be for them but from Dari`,) (7. Which
will neither nourish nor avail against hunger.)
