Allah Mai girma da ɗaukaka ya ce:

Allah the Almighty says:

{Suna tambayarka game da Dhul-Qarnain. Ka ce: "Zan karanta maka wani labari game da shi."} Lalle ne, Mun kafa shi a bisa duniya, kuma Mun ba shi hanyoyin kome. Sai ya bi wata hanya. Har idan ya kai inda rana take faɗuwa, sai ya ga tana faɗuwa a cikin wata maɓuɓɓugar ruwa baƙar laka (ko mai zafi).

{And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say: "I shall recite to you something of his story." Verily, We established him in the earth, and We gave him the means of everything. So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water.

Ya same wurin wani jama'a. Mun ce (ta wahayi): "Ya Dhul-Qarnain! Ko dai ka hukunta su, ko kuma ka nuna musu alheri." Ya ce: "Amma wanda ya yi zalunci (wato kafiri ga Tauhidin Allah), za mu hukunta shi, sannan zai koma ga Ubangijinsa, wanda zai hukunta shi da azaba mai tsanani (Wuta)." Amma wanda ya yi imani (da Tauhidin Allah) kuma ya aikata aiki na adalci, zai sami lada mafi kyau (Aljanna), kuma mu (Dhul-Qarnain) za mu ...

And he found near it a people. We (Allah) said (by inspiration): "O Dhul-Qarnain! Either you punish them, or treat them with kindness." He said: "As for him (a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah) who does wrong, we shall punish him, and then- he will be brought back unto his Lord, Who will punish him with a terrible torment (Hell)."But as for him who believes (in Allah's Oneness) and works righteousness he shall have the best reward, (Paradise), and we (Dhul-Qarnain)

"sai ya yi magana da shi da kalmomi masu laushi (a matsayin umarni)." Sannan ya bi wata hanya. Har idan ya kai wurin fitowar rana, sai ya same ta tana fitowa a kan wasu mutane da Mu (Allah) ba mu sanya musu wani abin rufe su daga rana ba. Haka ne! Mun kuwa san duk abin da ke gare shi (Dhul-Qarnain). Sannan ya bi (wata) hanya.

shall speak unto him mild words (as instructions)." Then he followed another way. Until, when he came to the rising place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We (Allah) had provided no shelter against the sun. So (it was)! And We knew all about him (Dhul-Qarnain). Then he followed (another) way.

Har lokacin da ya isa tsakanin duwatsu biyu, ya sami a gabansu wasu mutane waɗanda kusan ba sa fahimtar magana. Suka ce: "Ya Dhul-Qarnain! Lallai Ya'juj da Ma'juj (Gog da Magog) suna aikata ɓarna mai girma a cikin ƙasa. Shin za mu biya ka haraji domin ka gina shinge tsakaninmu da su?" Ya ce: "Abin da Ubangijina ya ba ni iko a kansa ya fi (harajinku). Don haka ku taimake ni da ƙarfi (na mutane), zan gina muku shinge tsakaninku da su. "Ku kawo mini guntuwar ƙarfe;" sa'an nan idan ya cika tsakanin duwatsun biyu, ya ce: "Ku busa;" sa'an nan idan ya mayar da su (ja kamar wuta), ya ce: "Ku kawo mini tagulla mai narkewa in zuba a kansu." Don haka (Ya'juj da Ma'juj) ba su iya hawansa ba, ba kuma su iya huda shi ba. Dhul-Qarnain ya ce: "Wannan rahama ce daga Ubangijina, amma idan alkawarin Ubangijina ya zo, zai rushe shi ya zama ƙasa. Alkawarin Ubangijina kuwa gaskiya ne koyaushe." {Al-Kahf, 83-98}.

Until, when he reached between two mountains, he found, before (near) them (those two mountains), a people who scarcely understood a word. They said: "O Dhul-Qarnain! Verily Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog) are doing great mischief in the land. Shall we then pay you a tribute in order that you might erect a barrier between us and them?" He said: "That (wealth, authority and power) in which my Lord had established me is better (than your tribute). So help me with strength (of men),] will erect between you and them a barrier. "Give me pieces (blocks) of iron;" then, when he had filled up the gap between the two mountain-cliffs, he said: "Blow;" then when he had made them (red as) fire, he said: "Bring me molten copper to pour over them." So they (Ya'juj and Ma'juj (Gog and Magog))) could not scale it or dig through it. Dhul- Qarnain) said: "This is a mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He shall level it down to the ground. And the Promise of my Lord is ever true. "}. (Al-Kahf, 83-98)

Allah Maɗaukakin ya yabi Dhul-Qarnain a cikin Alƙur'ani mai girma saboda adalcinsa. Ya yi mulki a kan gabas da yamma da yankuna da yawa, inda ya mallaki mutanensu ya yi musu mulki da cikakken adalci. Ra'ayin da ya fi kusa da gaskiya shi ne cewa shi sarki ne kawai.

Allah the Almighty praised Dhul-Qarnain in the Glorious Qur'an for his justice. He ruled over the easts and wests and many regions where he subjected their peoples and ruled them with perfect justice. The most likely opinion is that he was just a king.

Haka kuma an ce shi Annabi ne, ko Manzo. Sai dai ra'ayin da ya fi rauni a cikinsu shi ne cewa shi malaika ne. Wannan kuma an ruwaito shi daga Shugaban Muminai, 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (Allah ya yarda da shi).

Also, he was said to be a Prophet, or a Messenger. However, the most unlikely opinion thereof was that he was an Angel. The latter was narrated after the Leader of the Faithful, 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him)

wanda ya ji wani mutum yana kiran wani yana cewa: "Ya Dhul-Qarnain!" Sai ('Umar) ya ce: "Yi shiru! Shin bai isa ba a gare ku ku sanya wa kanku sunayen Annabawa, har ku ɗauki sunaye irin na Mala'iku?" An ruwaito cewa 'Abdullahi ɗan 'Amr ya ce: Dhul-Qarnain Annabi ne.

who heard a man calling another saying: 0 Dhul-Qarnain! He ('Umar) said: Shut up! Was it not enough with you to name yourselves after the Prophets, that you take names after those of the Angels?" It is reported that' Abdullah Ibn 'Amr said: Dhul-Qarnain was a Prophet.

Sabanin haka, Abu Hurairah ya ruwaito cewa Manzon Allah ﷺ ya ce

Conversely, Abu Hurairah narrated that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him)

Ya ce: "Ban sani ba ko Tubba' mutumin la'ana ne ko a'a? Kuma, ban sani ba ko Hudud (Hukunce-hukuncen da aka shar'anta) suna kaffara ga mutanensu ko a'a? Kuma, ban sani ba ko Dhul-Qarnain annabi ne ko a'a?" (Wannan Hadisi abin mamaki ne kuma baƙon abu ne)

said: "I do not know whether Tubba' was a cursed one or not? And, I do not know whether Hudud (the Prescribed Penalties) are expiatory for their people or not? And, I do not know whether Dhul-Qarnain was a Prophet or not?" (This Hadith is Odd and Strange)

A wata riwayar kuma, Ibn 'Abbas (Allah ya yarda da shi) ya ruwaito wani rahoto da ke nuni ga cewa Dhul-Qarnain sarki ne nagari wanda aikinsa ya samu yabo a cikin Littafin Allah (Alkur'ani mai girma); an ba shi nasara; kuma Al-Khadir ya kasance mataimakinsa, shugaban rundunarsa, kuma mai ba shi shawara.

In other narration, Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) transmitted a report that goes to the saying that Dhul-Qarnain was a good king whose work was praised in Allah's Book (the Glorious Qur'an); he was made victorious; and Al-Khadir was his minister, leader of his army, and his consultant.

Wannan batu ne mai cike da cece-kuce, domin babu wani dalili tabbatacce game da shi. Wasu sun ce: yana da wani abu a kansa wanda yayi kama da ƙaho biyu. Wahb Ibn Munabih ya ce: yana da ƙahoni biyu na tagulla a kansa. (Wannan fassarar rauni ce ƙwarai.)

This is a controversial issue, that there is not a definite known reason behind this. Some said: he had something on his head that looked like two horns. Wahb Ibn Munabih said: He had two horns of brass on his head. (This interpretation is very weak)

Wasu malamai daga cikin Ahlul-Kitab (Nasara da Yahudawa)

Some scholars from among the People of the Book (Christians and Jews)

Wannan saboda ya yi mulki a kan yankunan Farisawa da Romawa. An kuma ce: ya kai ga hasken farko na rana mai fitowa a gabas da kuma wanda yake a yamma, kuma ya yi mulki a kan duk abin da ke tsakanin su. (Ra'ayi na ƙarshe shi ne mafi kusancin gaskiya, wanda magana ce ta Az-Zuhari.)

said: This is because he ruled over Persian and Roman territories. It was also said: that he reached the first ray of the rising sun on the east and that on the west and he ruled over all that was in between. (The latter opinion is more likely true, which is the saying of Az-Zuhari)

Al-Hasan Al-Basri ya ce: Yana da igiyoyin gashi guda biyu wanda yake naɗewa, saboda haka aka kira shi "Dhul-Qarnain". Haka kuma, Ishaq Ibn Bishr ya ruwaito cewa kakan 'Umar Ibn Shu'aib ya ce: Dhul-Qarnain, a wani lokaci, ya gayyaci wani sarki azzalumi zuwa hanyar Allah. Sarkin ya buge shi a kai, ya karya ɗaya daga cikin ƙahoninsa.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: He had two braids of hair that he used to fold up and thus was called "Dhul-Qarnain". And, Ishaq Ibn Bishr narrated that the grandfather of 'Umar Ibn Shu' aib said: DhulQarnain, once, invited a tyrant king to the way of Allah. The king hit him on the head and broke one of his horns.

Zul-Qarnain ya sake kiran shi, sai azzalumin ya karya ƙaho na biyu. Saboda haka, aka kira shi "Zul-Qarnain".

Dhul-Qarnain invited him again and the tyrant broke the second horn. Thus, he was called "Dhul-Qarnain" .

Daga Ath-Thawri, an ruwaito cewa 'Ali Ibn Abu Talib (Allah ya yarda da shi)

Narrated Ath-Thawri that 'Ali Ibn Abu Talib (May Allah be pleased with him)

An wa ta tambayi shi game da Dhul-Qarnain sai ya ce: Ya kasance mutum mai shiriya kuma mai tsoron Allah. Ya kira mutanensa zuwa ga Allah, amma suka buge shi a kan ƙahonsa (gefen kansa) sai aka kashe shi. Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya tayar da shi, sai ya sake kiran su, suka sake bugun shi a kan ƙahonsa na biyu sai aka kashe shi a karo na biyu. Allah Maɗaukakin Sarki ya sake rayar da shi, saboda haka aka kira shi "Dhul-Qarnain". A wasu rahotannin, Abu At-Tufail ya ruwaito daga 'Ali Ibn Abu Talib cewa ya ce: Ba annabi ba ne, ba manzo ba ne, ba mala'ika ba ne, sai dai bawa mai ibada, mai tsoron Allah.

Malamai sun sabawa game da sunansa. Az Zubair Ibn Bakkar ya ruwaito daga 'Abdullah Ibn Abbas (Allah ya yarda da shi): Sunansa 'Abdullah Ibn Ad-Dahhak Ibn Ma'd; ko Mus'ab Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Qinan Ibn Mansur Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Al-Azd Ibn Ghauth Ibn Nabt Ibn Malik Ibn Zaid Ibn Kahlan Ibn Saba' Ibn Qahtan.

Scholars disagreed regarding his name. Az Zubair Ibn Bakkar narrated after' Abdullah Ibn, Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him): His name was 'Abdullah IbnAd-Dahhak Ibn Ma'd; or Mus'ab Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Qinan Ibn Mansur Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Al-Azd Ibn Ghauth Ibn Nabt Ibn Malik Ibn Zaid Ibn Kahlan Ibn Saba' Ibn Qahtan.

Ya zo a cikin wani Hadisi cewa shi ɗan kabilar Himyar ne, kuma mahaifiyarsa Baturiya ce, kuma an kira shi Masanin Falsafa saboda ƙwarewar tunaninsa. Sai dai As-Suhaili ya ce: sunansa Marzaban ɗan Marzabah. Ibn Hisham ne ya ambace wannan, sannan ya ambaci a wani wuri cewa sunansa As-Sa'b ɗan Dhi Mara'id, wanda shi ne kakan Tababi'ah, kuma shi ne ya yanke hukuncin da ya amfani Ibrahim (ﷺ)... Correction to my output: the honorific after Ibrahim must not be ﷺ, since Ibrahim is another prophet. The correct version: Ya zo a cikin wani Hadisi cewa shi ɗan kabilar Himyar ne, kuma mahaifiyarsa Baturiya ce, kuma an kira shi Masanin Falsafa saboda ƙwarewar tunaninsa. Sai dai As-Suhaili ya ce: sunansa Marzaban ɗan Marzabah. Ibn Hisham ne ya ambace wannan, sannan ya ambaci a wani wuri cewa sunansa As-Sa'b ɗan Dhi Mara'id, wanda shi ne kakan Tababi'ah, kuma shi ne ya yanke hukuncin da ya amfani Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) game da rijiyar As-Sab'.

It has been narrated in a Hadith that he was from the tribe of Himyar and that his mQther was Roman, and he was called the Philosopher for the excellence of his mentality. However, As-Suhaili said: his name was Marzaban Ibn Marzabah. This was mentioned by Ibn Hisham who mentioned in another location that his name was: As-Sa'b Ibn Dhi Mara'id who was the grandfather of the Tababi'ah and it was him who gave the verdict to the benefit of Ibrahim (Peace be upon him) pertaining to the well of As-Sab' .

An an ce: Shi ne Afridun Ibn Asfiyan wanda ya kashe Ad-Dahhak. Al-Qass Ibn Sa'idah Al-Iyadi ya ce a cikin hudubarsa sananniya: Ya ku mutanen Ayad Ibn As-Sa'b! Dhul-Qarnain ya yi mulkin yamma da gabas, ya mallake aljanu da mutane, kuma ya rayu shekara dubu biyu. Amma duk wannan kamar kiftawar ido ne kawai.

It was said: He was Afridun Ibn Asfiyan who killed Ad-Dahhak. Al-Qass Ibn Sa' idah Al-Iyadi said in his famous sermon: 0 folk of Ayad Ibn As-Sa'b! Dhul- Qarnain ruled over the west. and east, subjugated the Jinn and mankind, and he lived for two thousand years. However, all this was just like a twinkle of the eye.

Ad-Daraqutni da Ibn Makula sun ambata cewa sunansa Hirmis ne, ko Hirwis, ɗan Qitun, ɗan Rumi, ɗan Lanti, ɗan Kashaukhin, ɗan Yunan, ɗan Yafith, ɗan Nuhu (Noah (Peace be upon him)), kuma Allah ne Mafi sani! Ishaƙ ɗan Bishr ya ruwaito daga Sa'id ɗan Bashir, bisa ikon Qatadah, yana cewa: Iskandar ana kiransa Dhul-Qarnain, mahaifinsa shi ne Kaisar na farko, kuma yana daga cikin zuriyar Sam ɗan Nuhu (Noah (Peace be upon him)).

Ibn 'Asakir ya ruwaito wani dogon hadisi wanda a cikinsa: Dhul-Qarnain yana da aboki daga cikin Mala'iku mai suna Ranaqil. Dhul-Qarnain ya tambaye shi: Shin ka san wurin nan a duniya da ake kira "Idon Rayuwa"? Mala'ikan ya bayyana masa inda yake. Dhul-Qarnain ya tafi neman wurin, yana mai nada Al-Khadir ya zama mai gaba da shi.

Ibn 'Asakir reported a lengthy narration in which: Dhul-Qarnain had a friend from among the Angels called Ranaqil. Dhul-Qarnain asked him: Do you know the place on earth called "the Eye of Life"? The Angel described to him its location. Dhul-Qarnain set out seeking it appointing Al-Khadir as his harbinger.

Al-Khadir ya zo kan ruwan a cikin ƙasar duhu, sai ya sha daga cikinsa. Sai dai Dhul-Qarnain bai same shi ba. Duk da haka, Dhul-Qarnain ya haɗu da wata ƙungiya ta Mala'iku a wani fada a can, sai aka ba shi wani dutse. Lokacin da ya koma wurin rundunarsa, ya tambayi malamai, suka sa shi a kan ma'auni, suka sa a ɗayan ma'aunin dutse dubu na irinsa (nauyi da siffa). Sai dai ma'aunin da ke ɗauke da dutse na farko ya karkata.

Al-Khadir came upon it in the land of darkness and he drank thereof. But, Dhul- Qarnain did not make it. However, Dhul-Qarnain met with a group of Angels in a palace there and he was given a stone. When he returned to his army, he asked the scholars who put it on a scale and put on the other one thousand stones of the like (weight and shape). However, the scale containing the first stone tilted.

Sai ya tambayi Al-Khadir wanda ya sanya a daya ma'aunin dutse guda daya da dan kasa busasshe cikin tafin hannu. Ma'aunin Al-Khadir ya karkata wannan karon. Sai ya yi sharhi yana cewa:

He, then, asked Al-Khadir who put on the other scale a single stone and a handful of dry dust. Al-Khadir's scale tilted this time. He then commented saying:

"Wannan kamar ɗan Adam ne, ba ya gamsuwa sai an binne shi (an rufe shi da turɓaya)". A nan, malamai suka yi sujada a gabansa a matsayin alamar girmamawa da daraja; kuma Allah ne Mafi sani!
