English Translation of Al-Quran
[41]. Ha-Mim_Al-Sajdah (Prostration) also known as Surah Fussilat [They Are Explained in Detail]
Ayat 21. And they (disbelievers) will say to their skins, “Why do you testify against us?” They will say: “Allah has caused us to speak, as He causes all things to speak, and He created you the first time, and to Him you are made to return.”
Tafseer of Surah Ha-Mim Al-Sajdah (or Surah Fussilat) Ayat 21. They will say to their skins “Why bear you witness against us?” They will say: “(Allah) hath given us speech,- (He) Who gives speech to everything: He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return. A new phase of their existence will now dawn on them. They used to think that if they concealed their evil deeds from the rest of the world, nothing would happen to them! But Allah can give “tongues to trees”, and can make every fact in life, known and unknown to the world, contribute to the elucidation of truth and justice. “Speech” on behalf of their senses and faculties should of course be understood figuratively. When we succumb to evil, our limbs and faculties betray us.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “I know of the last of the inhabitants of the Hell to be taken out from there and the last one to enter Jannah. He is a man who will come out of the Fire, crawling on all fours. Allah, the Rubb of glory and honour will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.’ He will go to it and think that it is full up. He will then come back and say: `O my Rubb, it is full up.’ Allah will say to him: `Go and enter Jannah.’ He will again go to it and think that it is full up. So, he will turn back. Allah will again say: `Go and enter Jannah. For you have what is equal to ten times the world.’ He will say: `Are You making fun of me while You are the King?” At this I (i.e., the narrator) saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) laugh till his premolars were visible and he said, “Such man will be the last dweller of Jannah in its lowest rank.”
[Al-Bukhari Hadith # 6571 and Muslim Hadith # 359].
Lesson : as mentioned “and who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success”. The general habit of the Prophet ﷺ (PBUH) was just to smile. But while talking about the gifts and honors about an ordinary person in Jannah, he could not help laughing in a manner that his molars became visible. The person on the lowest pedestal in Jannah will be given ten times better things and gifts that could he had on this earth. May Allah admit us into Jannah in His Mercy. Ameen.
