Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah:It (i.e., the imagined smoke) was because, when the Quraish refused to obey the Prophet, he asked Allah to afflict them with years of famine similar to those of (Prophet) Joseph. So they were stricken with famine and fatigue, so much so that they ate even bones. A man would look towards the sky and imagine seeing something like smoke between him and the sky because of extreme fatigue. So Allah revealed:-- 'Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible, covering the people; this is a painful torment.' (44.10-11) Then someone (Abu Sufyan) came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to send rain for the tribes of Mudar for they are on the verge of destruction." On that the Prophet (ﷺ) said (astonishingly) "Shall I invoke Allah) for the tribes of Mudar? Verily, you are a brave man!" But the Prophet prayed for rain and it rained for them. Then the Verse was revealed. 'But truly you will return (to disbelief).' (44.15) (When the famine was over and) they restored prosperity and welfare, they reverted to their ways (of heathenism) whereupon Allah revealed: 'On the Day when We shall seize you with a Mighty Grasp. We will indeed (then) exact retribution.' (44.16) The narrator said, "That was the day of the Battle of Badr

Abdullah bataate hain: Wo (jo dhuaan mehsoos hua tha) is wajah se tha ke jab Quraish ne Nabi (SAW) ki baat maanne se inkaar kiya, to unhone Allah se dua ki ke unpar Yusuf (Alaihissalam) jaise saal ka qehat daal de. To unhein qehat aur thakaan ne itna jakad liya ke wo haddiyaan tak khaane lage. Koi shaks aasman ki taraf dekhta to shiddat ki thakaan ki wajah se usse aur aasman ke beech dhuaan jaisi cheez mehsoos hoti. To Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'To (Aye Muhammad) us din ka intezaar karo jab aasman saaf zaahir dhuaan laayega jo logon ko dhaank lega; ye dardnaak azaab hai.' (44:10-11) Phir koi (Abu Sufyan) Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ke paas aaya aur kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Allah se Qabeela Mudar ke liye baarish ki dua kijiye, kyunke wo tabaahi ke kagaar par hain.' Isper Nabi (SAW) ne (hairaan hoke) kaha, 'Kya main Qabeela Mudar ke liye dua karoon? Waaqai tum bade himmat waale ho!' Magar Nabi (SAW) ne baarish ki dua ki aur unke liye baarish hui. Phir ye Aayat naazil hui: 'Magar tum zaroor (kufr ki taraf) laut jaaoge.' (44:15) (Jab qehat khatam hua aur) unhone khushhaali wapas paayi, to wo apne (jaahiliyat ke) purane raaste par laut gaye, isper Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Jis din Hum tumhein sakht pakad se pakdenge, Hum waaqai badla lenge.' (44:16) Ravi kehte hain, 'Ye jang-e-Badr ka din tha.'
