حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ ‏{‏حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَيْأَسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا‏}‏ خَفِيفَةً، ذَهَبَ بِهَا هُنَاكَ، وَتَلاَ ‏{‏حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللَّهِ أَلاَ إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ‏}‏ فَلَقِيتُ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ مَا وَعَدَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ كَائِنٌ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَزَلِ الْبَلاَءُ بِالرُّسُلِ حَتَّى خَافُوا أَنْ يَكُونَ مَنْ مَعَهُمْ يُكَذِّبُونَهُمْ، فَكَانَتْ تَقْرَؤُهَا ‏{‏وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِّبُوا‏}‏ مُثَقَّلَةً‏.‏

Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:Ibn `Abbas recited: "(Respite will be granted) until when the Apostles gave up hope (of their people) and thought that they were denied (by their people). There came to them Our Help ...." (12.110) reading Kudhibu without doubling the sound 'dh', and that was what he understood of the Verse. Then he went on reciting: "..even the Apostle and those who believed along with him said: When (will come) Allah's Help? Yes, verily, Allah's Help is near." (2.214) Then I met `Urwa bin Az-Zubair and I mentioned that to him. He said, "Aisha said, 'Allah forbid! By Allah, Allah never promised His Apostle anything but he knew that it would certainly happen before he died. But trials were continuously presented before the Apostles till they were afraid that their followers would accuse them of telling lies. So I used to recite:-- "Till they (come to) think that they were treated as liars." reading 'Kudh-dhibu with double 'dh

Ibn Abu Mulaika bataate hain: Ibn Abbas ne padha, '...yahaan tak ke jab Rasool naa-umeed ho gaye aur unhe laga ke unke saath jhoothi baat kahi gayi thi (ya: unhe jhutlaaya ja chuka hai), to hamari madad unke paas aayi...' (12:110) - unhone 'Kudhibu' ko bagair 'dh' double kiye padha, aur yahi unki is Aayat ki samajh thi. Phir unhone aage padha, '...yahaan tak ke Rasool aur unke saath Iman laane wale kehne lage, "Allah ki madad kab aayegi?" Sun lo! Beshak Allah ki madad qareeb hai.' (2:214) Ravi kehte hain: Phir main Urwa bin Az-Zubair se mila aur unhe ye baat bataayi. Unhone kaha, 'Aisha ne kaha, "Allah maaf kare! Allah ki qasam, Allah ne apne Rasool se koi wada nahi kiya jiske baare mein unhe ye yaqeen na ho ke wo unki wafat se pehle zaroor poora hoga. Magar Rasoolon ko musalsal aazmaaishon se guzarna pada yahaan tak ke unhe dar hua ke unke maanne wale unhe jhoota (samajhne) lagenge. Isliye main padhti hoon, '...yahaan tak ke unhe laga ke unhe jhoota keh diya gaya,' 'Kudh-dhibu' ko 'dh' double karke."'
