Imam Ahmad recorded from Jundub that he said, "The Prophet became ill, so he
did not stand for prayer for a night or two. Then a woman came and said, `O
Muhammad! I think that your devil has finally left you.' So Allah revealed,
[وَالضُّحَى -
وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى - مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى ]
(By the forenoon. By the night when it darkens. Your Lord has neither
forsaken you nor hates you.)'' Al-Bukhari, Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i, Ibn
Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir, all recorded this Hadith. This Jundub (who narrated it)
is Ibn `Abdullah Al-Bajali Al-`Alaqi. In a narration from Al-Aswad bin Qays, he
said that he heard Jundub say that Jibril was slow in coming to the Messenger of
Allah . So the idolators said, "Muhammad's Lord has abandoned him.'' So Allah
revealed,
[وَالضُّحَى -
وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى - مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى ]
(By the forenoon. By the night when it darkens. Your Lord has neither
forsaken you nor hates you.)
[وَالضُّحَى -
وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى ]
(By the forenoon. By the night when it darkens.) Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn
`Abbas, "When the Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah , Jibril was
delayed from coming to him for a number of days (on one occasion). Therefore,
the Messenger of Allah was affected by this. Then the idolators began to say,
`His Lord has abandoned him and hates him.' So Allah revealed,
[مَا وَدَّعَكَ
رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى ]
(Your Lord has neither forsaken you nor hates you.)'' In this, Allah is
swearing by the forenoon and the light that He has placed in it.
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا
سَجَى ]
(By the night when it darkens (Saja).) meaning, it settles, darkens meaning,
it settles, darkens and overcomes them. This was said by Mujahid, Qatadah,
Ad-Dahhak, Ibn Zayd and others. This is a clear proof of the power of the
Creator of this (light) and that (darkness). This is as Allah says,
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا
يَغْشَى - وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّى ]
(By the night as it envelops. By the Day as it appears.) (92:1-2) Allah also
says,
[فَالِقُ الإِصْبَاحِ
وَجَعَلَ الَّيْلَ سَكَناً وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ حُسْبَاناً ذَلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ
الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ ]
((He is the) Cleaver of the daybreak. He has appointed the night for resting,
and the sun and the moon for reckoning. Such is the measuring of the Almighty,
the All-Knowing.) (6:96) Allah then says,
[مَا وَدَّعَكَ
رَبُّكَ]
(Your Lord has neither forsaken you) meaning, `He has not abandoned you.'
[وَمَا قَلَى]
(nor hates (Qala) you.) meaning, `He does not hate you.'
