Allah Yang Maha Kuasa berfirman:

Allah the Almighty says:

{Atau seperti orang yang melalui sebuah negeri yang telah runtuh atap-atapnya. Dia berkata: "Bagaimana Allah akan menghidupkan semula (negeri) ini setelah kematiannya?" Lalu Allah mematikannya selama seratus tahun, kemudian membangkitkannya (semula). Dia (Allah) berfirman: "Berapa lamakah engkau berada (dalam keadaan mati)?" Dia (lelaki itu) menjawab}

{Or like the one who passed by a town and it had tumbled over its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He (the man)

Dia berfirman: "Mungkin aku hanya tinggal (mati) sehari atau sebahagian daripada sehari".

said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day". He said:

"Tidak, kamu hanya telah berada (dalam keadaan mati) selama seratus tahun. Lihatlah makanan dan minumanmu, ia tidak berubah. Dan lihatlah keldaimu! Demikianlah Kami jadikan kamu tanda bagi manusia. Lihatlah tulang-belulang itu, bagaimana Kami menyusunnya kembali dan membalutnya dengan daging." Maka ketika hal itu telah jelas baginya, dia berkata: "Aku tahu (sekarang) bahawa Allah Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu."}. (Al-Baqarah, 259)

"Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh ". When this was clearly shown to him, he said, I know (now) that Allah is Able to do all things"}. (Al-Baqarah, 259)

Dan, {Dan orang-orang Yahudi berkata: "’Uzair (Ezra) adalah anak Allah," dan orang-orang Nasrani berkata: "Al-Masih adalah anak Allah." Itulah ucapan mereka dengan mulut mereka, menyerupai ucapan orang-orang kafir sebelum mereka. Allah melaknat mereka, bagaimana mereka dipalingkan dari kebenaran!}. (At-Taubah, 30)

And, {And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allah's Curse be on them how they are deluded away from the truth!}. (At-Taubah, 30)

Al-Hafiz Abu Al-Qasim Ibn 'Asakir berkata: Beliau ialah 'Uzair Ibn Jarwah, atau Ibn Suraiq Ibn 'Adiya Ibn Ayyub Ibn Darzna Ibn 'Ura Ibn Taqyi Ibn Usbu' Ibn Finhas Ibn EI- 'Azir Ibn Hamn Ibn 'Imran. Juga, beliau dikatakan sebagai 'Uzair Ibn Smkha. Sebahagian riwayat menyatakan bahawa kuburnya terletak di Damsyik. Kemudian, Al-Hafiz Ibn 'Asakir meriwayatkan daripada Abu Al-Qasim Al-Baghawi, daripada Dawud Ibn `Amr, daripada Hibban Ibn `Ali, daripada Muhammad Ibn Kuraib, daripada ayahnya, daripada `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas, beliau berkata: Aku tidak tahu sama ada Tubba` itu seorang yang terlaknat atau tidak?

Al-Hafiz Abu Al-Qasim Ibn 'Asakir said: He is 'Uzair Ibn Jarwah, or Ibn Suraiq Ibn 'Adiya Ibn Ayyub Ibn Darzna Ibn 'Ura Ibn Taqyi Ibn Usbu' Ibn Finhas Ibn EI- 'Azir Ibn Hamn Ibn 'Imran. Also, he is said to be 'Uzair Ibn Smkha. Some narrations state that his grave is located in Damascus. Then, Al-HafizIbn 'Asakir narrated on the authority of Abu Al-Qasim AI-Baghawi after Dawud Ibn `Amr after Hibban Ibn `Ali after Muhammad Ibn Kuraib after his father after `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas as saying: I do not know whether Tubba` was a cursed one or not?

Dan, saya tidak tahu sama ada 'Uzair itu seorang Nabi atau tidak? Kemudian, beliau meriwayatkan yang seumpamanya daripada Hadith Mu'amil bin Al-Hasan daripada Muhammad bin Ishaq As-Sajizi, daripada 'Abdur Razzaq, daripada Mu'amir, daripada Ibnu Abu Dhu'aib, daripada Sa'id Al-Maqbari, daripada Abu Hurairah (semoga Allah meridhainya).

And, I do not know whether `Uzair was a Prophet or not? Then, he narrated the like from the Hadith of Mu'amil Ibn Al-Hasan on the authority of Muhammad Ibn Ishaq As-Sajizi after `Abder Razzaq after Mu`amir after Ibn Abu Dhu'aib after Sa`id Al- Maqbaari on the authority of Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him).

Kemudian, beliau meriwayatkan daripada Ishaq bin Bishr — yang ditolak riwayatnya — selepas Jubair dan Muqatil, selepas Ad-Dahhak, daripada `Abdullah bin `Abbas (semoga Allah meridhainya) yang berkata: `Uzair ketika masih kanak-kanak termasuk dalam kalangan orang yang ditawan oleh Bikhtinassar. Apabila beliau berumur empat puluh tahun, Allah Yang Maha Agung mengurniakan kepadanya hikmah. Tiada seorang pun yang lebih berilmu daripadanya mengenai Taurat, dan namanya disebut bersama barisan Rasul dan Nabi sehinggalah namanya dihapuskan oleh Allah Yang Maha Agung ketika beliau bertanya tentang Ketetapan Ilahi. (Hadis ini lemah dan ditolak) dan Allah jualah yang lebih mengetahui! Ishaq bin Bishr meriwayatkan selepas Sa`id, selepas Abu `Urubah, selepas Qatadah, selepas Al-Hasan, daripada `Abdullah bin Salam bahawa `Uzair ialah lelaki yang Allah matikan selama seratus tahun, kemudian Allah bangkitkan semula.

Then, he narrated from Ishaq Ibn Bishr -whom is rejected -after Jubair and Muqatil after Ad Dahha, on the authority of `Abdullah Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) as saying: `Uzair was -while a young boy -among those captivated by Bikhtinassar. When he was forty, Allah the Almighty granted him wisdom. And, none was more knowledgeable than he, pertaining to the Torah, and he was mentioned with the train of Messengers and Prophets till his name was erased by Allah the Almighty when he asked about the Divine Decree. (This Hadith is Weak and Rejected) and Allah knows best! Ishaq Ibn Bishr narrated after Sa`id after Abu `Urubah after Qatadah after Al-Hasan after `Abdullah Ibn Salam that `Uzair was the man whom Allah caused to die for a hundred years, then raised him up again.

Ibn Ishaq Ibn Bishr berkata: Telah menceritakan kepadaku Sa`id Ibn Bashir, dari Wahb Ibn Munabbih.

Ibn Ishaq Ibn Bishr said: I was told by Sa`id Ibn Bashir after Wahb Ibn Munabih:

ʿUzair adalah seorang yang bijaksana dan ahli ibadah yang bertakwa. Pada suatu hari, beliau keluar untuk menjaga sebahagian hartanya. Apabila selesai, beliau melintasi sebuah tempat yang runtuh dan beliau kepanasan dibakar oleh matahari yang terik. Maka beliau memasuki tempat runtuh itu sambil menunggang keldainya. Beliau turun dari keldai itu dengan memegang dua bakul, satu penuh dengan buah ara dan satu lagi penuh dengan anggur. Beliau duduk dan mengeluarkan sebuah mangkuk, lalu beliau memerah anggur di dalamnya dan merendam roti kering yang ada padanya. Beliau memakannya, kemudian berbaring telentang dengan menyandarkan kedua kakinya pada sebuah dinding dan mula merenung siling rumah itu. Beliau melihat beberapa tulang yang telah reput lalu berkata: {Wahai! Bagaimanakah Allah akan menghidupkannya semula selepas kematiannya?} Beliau tidak ragu-ragu tentang kekuasaan Allah untuk melakukannya, tetapi beliau mengucapkannya sebagai satu seruan kehairanan. Lantas, Allah Yang Maha Agung mengutuskan Malaikat Maut yang mencabut nyawanya, dan demikianlah Allah menyebabkan beliau mati selama seratus tahun. Selepas seratus tahun, Allah Yang Maha Agung mengutuskan kepadanya seorang Malaikat. Malaikat itu mula-mula menciptakan hatinya agar beliau sedar dan berwaspada, kemudian Dia menciptakan kedua-dua matanya supaya beliau dapat melihat dan menyedari bagaimana Allah Yang Maha Agung menghidupkan kembali yang telah mati.

`Uzair was a wise, pious worshipper. One day, he went out to look after some of his properties, when he finished he passed by a ruined place where he was scorched by the blazing sun. So, he entered that ruined place riding on his donkey. He got off the donkey holding two baskets, one full of figs and the other full of grapes. He sat down and brought out a bowl in which he squeezed the grapes and soaked the dried bread he had therein. He ate thereof and then slept on his back, relying his two legs against a wall and started to gaze at the ceiling of the house. He saw some decomposed bones and said: {Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?} He did not doubt Allah's Omnipotence to do this, but he said it in exclamation. Upon this, Allah the Almighty sent the Angel of Death who seized his soul, and thus Allah caused him to die for a hundred years. And, after one hundred years, Allah the Almighty sent to him an Angel who first created his heart to make him heedful, then, he created his two eyes to enable him to see and realize how Allah the Almighty revive the death.

Kemudian, Malaikat itu meneruskan penciptaannya sekali lagi sementara dia memerhati. Lalu, dia membalut tulang-tulangnya dengan daging, kulit dan rambut. Kemudian, dia meniupkan roh ke dalamnya. Sepanjang masa ini dia memerhati dengan penuh perhatian. Malaikat itu bertanya kepadanya sambil berkata: {Berapa lamakah kamu berada (mati)?} Dia (lelaki itu) berkata:

Then, the Angel continued to complete his creation once more while he was looking. The, he clothed his bones with flesh, skin and hair. Then, he breathed the soul into him. All this while he is looking and perfectly heedful. The Angel asked him saying: {How long did you remain (dead)? He (the man) said:

(Mungkin) aku tinggal (mati) selama sehari atau sebahagian daripada sehari, yakni dia dimatikan pada waktu petang kemudian dihidupkan semula menjelang akhir hari ketika matahari masih di langit; sebab itulah dia berkata: {atau sebahagian daripada sehari} iaitu bahkan tidak sehari penuh. Malaikat berkata: {Tidak, engkau telah tinggal (mati) selama seratus tahun, lihatlah makanan dan minumanmu} iaitu roti kering dan anggur yang diperah yang tidak berubah atau menjadi busuk, {yang tidak berubah}, dan anggur serta buah ara juga tidak berubah. Seolah-olah dia mula menafikan perkara itu dalam hatinya, malaikat berkata: adakah engkau menafikan apa yang aku katakan? {dan lihatlah keldai engkau!} Dia melihat keldainya dan mendapati tulang-tulangnya telah reput dan menjadi hancur sepenuhnya. Malaikat memanggil tulang-tulang keldai itu, lalu ia menyahut panggilannya dan berkumpul dari segala arah sehingga menjadi satu tubuh yang utuh semula, sementara 'Uzair memerhatikannya; lalu ia dibalut dengan daging, kulit dan bulu. Kemudian malaikat meniupkan roh ke dalamnya, lalu ia bangkit sambil menegakkan telinga dan kepalanya ke langit, menyangka Hari Kiamat telah tiba. Hal itu dinyatakan dalam firman-Nya: {dan lihatlah keldai engkau! Dan demikianlah Kami jadikan engkau sebagai tanda bagi manusia. Lihatlah tulang-tulang itu, bagaimana Kami menyatukannya dan membalutnya dengan daging}. Dan {Maka ketika telah jelas baginya, dia berkata: Aku yakin bahawa Allah Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu}. Kemudian, dia menunggang keldainya pulang ke kampungnya, di mana dia kelihatan asing bagi penduduk dan penduduk kelihatan asing baginya. Malah, dia tidak mudah menemui rumahnya sendiri.

(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day} that he was caused to die in the afternoon and then was given life again by the end of day while the sun was still in the sky; that's why he said: {or part of a day} i.e. not even a whole day. The Angel said: {Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink} i.e. the dried bread and the squeezed grapes that did not alter or turn bad, {they show no change} , and the grapes and the figs did not change as well. As if he began to deny the matter by his heart, the Angel said: do you deny what I have said? {and look at your donkey!} he looked at his donkey and found his bones to be decomposed and became totally ruined. The Angel called upon the donkey's bones and they answered his call and gathered together from all directions till he was made one whole again –while 'Uzair was looking and he clothed them with flesh, skin and hair. Then, the Angel breathed life into it and it roused erecting his ears and head towards the sky thinking the Last Hour had come. That was stated in His Saying: {and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh}. And {When this was clearly shown to him, he said, I know (now) that Allah is Able to do all things} .Then, he rode on his donkey back to his village where he seemed unfamiliar to the people and the people looked unfamiliar to him. Even, he did not find his own house easily.

Apabila dia sampai ke rumah itu, dia mendapati seorang wanita tua yang lumpuh dan buta, berusia seratus dua puluh tahun. Dia dahulunya seorang hamba yang dimiliki olehnya, dan dia meninggalkannya ketika wanita itu baru berusia dua puluh tahun. Dia bertanya kepadanya: adakah ini rumah 'Uzair? Wanita itu menjawab: Ya, benar. Dia menangis dan berkata: Hari ini, tiada seorang pun yang masih mengingati 'Uzair. Dia memberitahunya bahawa dia ialah 'Uzair, dan Allah Yang Maha Agung telah mematikannya selama seratus tahun, kemudian menghidupkannya semula. Wanita itu berkata: Maha Suci Allah! Kami kehilangan 'Uzair seratus tahun yang lalu dan tidak pernah mendengar apa-apa tentang dirinya. Dia berkata: Sesungguhnya, aku ialah 'Uzair. Wanita itu berkata: 'Uzair ialah seorang lelaki yang doanya dimakbulkan oleh Allah Yang Maha Agung, maka pohonlah kepada Allah agar mengembalikan penglihatanku supaya aku dapat melihatmu. Jika benar engkau ialah 'Uzair, sudah pasti aku akan mengenalimu.

When he reached the house, he found a crippled blind old woman at the age of one hundred twenty years old. She was a maid owned by him in the past and he left her while she was only twenty years old. He asked her saying: is this the house of 'Uzair? She said: Yes, it is. She wept and said: Today, no one ever remembers `Uzair. He told her that he was 'Uzair and Allah the Almighty caused me to die for one hundred years then He gave me life again. She said: Glory is to be to Allah! We lost 'Uzair one hundred years ago and never heard anything about him. He said: Verily, I am 'Uzair. She said: 'Uzair was a man whose supplications were acceptable by Allah the Almighty, so invoke Allah to return my sight to me to look at you, so if you were 'Uzair, I would certainly know you.

Oleh itu, dia memohon kepada Allah Yang Maha Agung, kemudian dia menyapu matanya, lalu matanya pulih. Dia memegang tangannya dan berkata: Bangunlah dengan izin Allah! Maka dia pun bangun dengan izin Allah. Dia memandangnya dan berkata: Aku bersaksi bahawa engkau adalah 'Uzair. Kemudian, dia pergi kepada Bani Israil dalam perhimpunan dan majlis mereka, juga kepada anak 'Uzair yang berusia kira-kira seratus lapan belas tahun dan cucu-cucunya, lalu dia memanggil mereka sambil berkata: Inilah 'Uzair yang telah kembali kepada kamu. Mereka mendustakannya, tetapi dia berkata: Aku ialah fulanah, hamba perempuan kamu.

Consequently, he invoked Allah the Almighty, then, he wiped over her eyes and they were recovered and took her by the hand and said: Stand up by the Leave of Allah! She stood up by the Leave of Allah. She looked at him and said: I bear witness that you are 'Uzair. Then, she set out for the Children of Israel in their meetings and gatherings and 'Uzair's son who was about one hundred and eighteen years old and his grandsons, and she called them saying: This is 'Uzair who came back to you. They belied her, but she said: I am so and so, your maid.

Dia memohon kepada Allah untukku, lalu Dia memulihkan penglihatan dan kakiku. Dia menambah: dia mendakwa bahawa Allah telah mematikannya selama seratus tahun kemudian menghidupkannya semula. Orang ramai bangkit dan pergi melihatnya. Anaknya berkata: ayahku mempunyai tahi lalat hitam di antara bahunya. Dia menyingkapkan bahunya dan mereka menyedari bahawa dia ialah 'Uzair. Bani Israil berkata: 'Uzair adalah satu-satunya yang menghafal keseluruhan Taurat di dalam hatinya, dan Bikhtinassar telah membakarnya, dan tiada yang tinggal daripadanya kecuali apa yang masih dapat diingati oleh orang-orang, maka (jika engkau benar-benar 'Uzair) tulislah ia untuk kami. Ayahnya, Surukha, telah menanam Taurat pada zaman Bikhtinassar itu di sebuah tempat yang tiada seorang pun mengetahuinya kecuali 'Uzair. Maka dia membawa mereka ke tempat itu dan mengeluarkannya, tetapi malangnya, helaian-helaian itu telah reput dan rosak. Akibatnya, dia duduk di bawah keteduhan sebatang pokok yang dikelilingi oleh Bani Israil dan dia memperbaharui Taurat untuk mereka. Pada ketika itu, dua bintang turun dari langit dan masuk ke dalam mulutnya, maka dia pun mengingati keseluruhan teks Taurat dan dengan itu memperbaharuinya untuk Bani Israil. Maka, {Orang-orang Yahudi berkata: 'Uzair (Ezra) ialah anak Allah}. (At-Taubah, 30) Mengenai perkara dua bintang itu, memperbaharui Taurat dan memikul urusan Bani Israil. Dia memperbaharui Taurat untuk mereka di negeri As-Sawad. Kota tempat dia meninggal dunia dikatakan dinamakan "Sairabadh." 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (semoga Allah meridhainya) berkata: Maka demikianlah dia sebagaimana firman Allah Yang Maha Kuasa: {Dan demikianlah Kami jadikan kamu suatu tanda bagi manusia} iaitu bagi Bani Israil. Bahawa dia bersama anak-anaknya adalah seorang pemuda di antara orang-orang tua, kerana dia meninggal dunia ketika berusia empat puluh tahun dan dihidupkan semula dalam usia dan keadaan yang sama. 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas berkata: dia dibangkitkan selepas zaman Bikhtinassar. Perkara yang sama juga diriwayatkan oleh Al-Hasan.

He invoked Allah for me and He recovered my eyesight and legs. She added: he claims that Allah caused him to die for one hundred years and then He gave him life again. The people rose up and went to look at him. His son said: my father had a black mole between his shoulders. He disclosed his shoulders and they realized that he was 'Uzair. The Children of Israel said: 'Uzair was the only one who committed the whole Torah to his heart and Bikhtinassar burnt it and nothing is left thereof but. what the men can remember, so (if you are the true 'Uzair) write it down for us. His father, Surukha buried the Torah during that era of Bikhrinassar in a place known to nobody but 'Uzair. Thus, he took them to that place and brought it out, but unfortunately, the papers were rotten and ruined. Consequently, he sat under the shade of a tree circulated by the Children of Israel and he renovated the Torah for them. At that time, two stars descended from the sky and entered into his mouth whereby he remembered the whole text of the Torah and thus renovated it to the Children of Israel. Thus, {The Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah}. (At-Taubah, 30) for the matter of the two stars, renovating the Torah and charging the affairs of the Children of Israel. He renovated the Torah for them in the land of As-Sawad. The town in which he died is said to be called "Sairabadh." 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Thus he was as said by Allah the Almighty: {And thus We have made of you a sign for the people} i.e. for the Children of Israel. That he was with his sons a young man among old people for he died when he was only forty and was revived on the same age and status. 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas said: he was resurrected after the time of Bikhtinassar. The same was related by Al-Hasan.

Telah diketahui secara meluas bahawa 'Uzair adalah salah seorang Nabi yang diutus kepada Bani Israil; beliau datang pada zaman antara Dawud dan Sulaiman, serta antara Zakariya dan Yahya. Pada zamannya, tiada seorang pun dari kalangan Bani Israil yang menghafaz Taurat. Allah Yang Maha Agung mengilhamkan kepadanya untuk memeliharanya dalam hatinya, kemudian beliau membacakannya kepada Bani Israil. Wahb bin Munabbih berkata: Allah Yang Maha Agung memerintahkan seorang Malaikat untuk turun dengan membawa cahaya, lalu dicurahkan ke atas 'Uzair. Dengan itu, beliau menyalin Taurat huruf demi huruf sehingga selesai.

It is well known that 'Uzair was one of the Prophets sent to the Children of Israel; he came during the interval between Dawud and Sulaiman, and Zakariya and Yahya. At his time, none from among the Children of Israel happened to memorize the Torah, Allah the Almighty inspired him to commit it to his heart and then he recited it to the Children of Israel. Wahb Ibn Munabih said: Allah the Almighty ordered an Angel to descend with light to throw on 'Uzair .In doing this, he copied the Torah letter by letter till he was finished.

Ibnu 'Asakir meriwayatkan daripada 'Abdullah Ibnu 'Abbas (semoga Allah meridai beliau) bahawa beliau bertanya kepada 'Abdullah Ibnu Salam mengenai firman Allah:

Ibn 'Asakir narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) that he asked' Abdullah Ibn Salam about Allah's Statement:

{Orang-orang Yahudi berkata: 'Uzair (Ezra) ialah anak Allah}. (At-Taubah, 30) Mengapa mereka berkata demikian? Ibn Salam menyebut tentang penulisan Taurat oleh 'Uzair dari ingatannya, dan dakwaan orang Yahudi bahawa Musa (Moses) tidak dapat membawa kepada mereka Taurat melainkan dalam bentuk sebuah kitab, dan bahawa 'Uzair memperolehnya tanpa kitab. Maka sebahagian daripada mereka pun berkata: 'Uzair (Ezra) ialah anak Allah. Oleh sebab itu, ramai ulama berpendapat: terdapat keterputusan dalam penyampaian Taurat pada zaman 'Uzair. Ini sangat mungkin jika 'Uzair bukan seorang Nabi, pendapat yang dipegang oleh 'Ata' Ibn Abu Rabah dan Al-Hasan Al-Basri, dan ia diriwayatkan oleh Ishaq Ibn Bishr selepas Muqatil Ibn Sulaiman, selepas 'Ata' Ibn Abu Rabah, yang berkata: zaman itu menyaksikan sembilan perkara: Bikhtinassar, kebun Sanaa, kebun Saba', Penghuni Parit, Gasura, Penghuni Gua, Penghuni Gajah, Antioch, dan Tubba'.

{The Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah}. (At-Taubah, 30) why did they say so? Ibn Salam mentioned his ('Uzair's) writing down of the Torah out of his memory, and the saying of the Jews that Musa (Moses) could not get them the Torah but in a book, and that 'Uzair got it without a book. Thereupon, some of them said: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah. For this reason, many scholars say: there was a discontinuation pertaining to the transmission of the Torah at the time of 'Uzair. This is very likely if 'Uzair was not a Prophet which is adopted by 'Ata 'Ibn Abu Rabah and Al-Hasan Al-Basri, and that was narrated by Ishaq Ibn Bishr after Muqatil Ibn Sulaiman after 'Ata 'Ibn Abu Rabah as saying: that period witnessed nine things: Bikhtinassar, Sanaa garden, Saba' garden, Owners of the Ditch, Gasura, Owners of the Cave, Owners of the Elephant, Antioch, and Tubba'.
