People Of The Ditch

Allah Mtukufu anasema:

Allah the Almighty says:

{Naapa kwa mbingu zenye nyota kubwa. Na kwa Siku iliyoahidiwa (yaani

{By the heaven holding the big stars. And by the Promised Day (i.e.

...Siku ya Kiyama). Na kwa siku ya kushuhudia (yaani, Ijumaa), na kwa siku inayoshuhudiwa (yaani, Siku ya 'Arafa (Hijja) tarehe tisa ya Dhul-Hijjah). Wamelaaniwa watu wa Shimo (katika hadithi ya Kijana na Mfalme). Wa moto uliowashwa kwa kuni nyingi. Walipoketi kando yake (moto). Nao walikuwa wakishuhudia walichokuwa wakikifanya dhidi ya waumini (yaani, kuwachoma moto). Wala hawakuwa na kosa lolote isipokuwa kwamba walimwamini Allah, Mwenye nguvu, Mstahiki wa kila sifa! Ambaye ni Wake ufalme wa mbingu na ardhi! Na Allah ni Shahidi juu ya kila kitu. Hakika wale waliowatesa waumini wanaume na waumini wanawake (kwa kuwaadhibu na kuwachoma moto), kisha wasitubu (kwa Allah), basi watapata adhabu ya Jahannamu, nao watapata adhabu ya Moto unaowaka}. (Al-Buruj, 1-10)

the Day of Resurrection). And by the Witnessing day (i.e. Friday), and by .the Witnessed day (i.e. the Day of 'Arafat (Hajj) the ninth of Dhul- Hijjah]. Cursed were the people of the Ditch (in the story of the Boy and the King). Of fire fed with fuel. When they sat by it (fire). And they witnessed what they were doing against the believers (i.e. burning them). And they had no fault except that they believed in Allah, the All- Mighty, Worthy of all Praise! To Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness over everything. Verily, those who put into trial the believing men and believing women (by torturing them and burning them), and then do not turn in repentance (to Allah), then they will have the torment of Hell, and they will have the punishment of the burning Fire}. (Al-Buruj, 1-10)

Muhammad Ibn Ishaq alidai kwamba waliishi baada ya kuja kwa Yesu (amani iwe juu yake), lakini wanazuoni wengine walipinga kauli yake wakidai waliishi kabla yake (amani iwe juu yake). Hata hivyo, wanazuoni wengi walitaja kwamba tukio hili lilirudiwa zaidi ya mara moja. Kuna Hadith ya Mtume ﷺ inayosimulia kisa cha wale waliotajwa katika Qur'ani Tukufu. Imam Ahmad alisema: Nilipewa habari na Hammad Ibn Salamah, baada ya Thabit, baada ya Abdur Rahman Ibn Abu Laila, akisema: Suhaib (Allah amridhie) alisimulia kwamba Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ alisema hivi: "Alikuwepo mfalme kabla yenu, na alikuwa na mchawi wa mahakamani. Mchawi alipozeeka, alimwambia mfalme: Nimezeeka, nitumie kijana mdogo niwafundishe uchawi. Mfalme alimtumia kijana mdogo amfundishe. Njiani kwenda kwa mchawi, kijana alikutana na mtawa aliyekaa pale. Alisikiliza maneno ya mtawa na akavutiwa nayo. Ikawa ni desturi yake kupita kwa mtawa na kutumia muda pamoja naye akisikiliza mafundisho yake, kisha kurudi kwa mchawi akiwa amechelewa. Mchawi alimpiga kwa sababu ya kuchelewa. Alilalamika hilo kwa mtawa, naye akamwambia: Utakapoogopa mchawi, sema: 'Watu wa familia yangu walinizuia.' Na utakapoogopa familia yako, sema: 'Mchawi amenizuia.' Ikatokea kwamba akaja mnyama mkubwa wa kutisha aliyezuia njia ya watu, naye (kijana) akasema: 'Leo nitajua kama mchawi ndiye bora zaidi au mtawa ndiye bora zaidi.' Akachukua jiwe na kusema: 'Ee Allah...'"

Muhammad Ibn Ishaq claimed that they lived after the advent of Jesus (Peace be upon him), but other scholars disagreed with him claiming them to live before him (Peace be upon him). However, many scholars mentioned that this incident was repeated more than once. There is a Prophetic Hadith narrating the story of those mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an. Imam Ahmed said: I was told by Harnrnad Ibn Salamah after Thabit after' Abdur Rahman Ibn Abu Laila as saying: Suhaib (May Allah be pleased withhim) reported that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) thus said: 'There lived a king before you and he had a (court) magician. As he (the magician) grew old, he said to the king: I have grown old, send some young boy to me so that I should teach him magic. He (the king) sent him a young boy so that he should train him (in magic). And on his way (to The magician) he (the young boy) found a monk sitting there. He listened to the monk's lalk and was impressed by it. It became his habit to pass by the monk and spent the time with him listening to his teachings and then leave to the magician late. He (the magician) beat him because of delay. He made a complaint of that to the monk and he said to him: When you feel afraid of the magician, say: Members of my family had detained me. And when you feel afraid of your family you should say: The magician had detained me. It so happened that there came a huge beast (of prey) and it blocked the way of the people, and he (the young boy) said: I will, come to know today whether the magician is superior or the monk is superior. He picked up a stone and said: 0

Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, ikiwa jambo la yule mtawa ni pendwa zaidi kwako kuliko jambo la mchawi, basi msababishie kifo mnyama huyu ili watu waweze kupita kwa uhuru. Akalitupia lile jiwe, akamuua, nao watu wakaanza kupita kwa uhuru (njiani). Kisha yule kijana akamwendea yule mtawa na kumjulisha, naye mtawa akasema: Mwanangu, leo wewe u bora kuliko mimi. Jambo lako limefikia hatua ambayo ninaona utajaribiwa hivi karibuni, na ikiwa utajaribiwa usitoe habari zangu. Yule kijana akaanza kuwatibu vipofu na wenye ukoma. Kwa kweli alianza kuwaponya watu kutoka magonjwa (ya kila aina). Mshauri mmoja wa mfalme aliyekuwa amepofuka aliposikia habari zake, alimwendea kwa zawadi nyingi na kusema: Ukinipona, vitu vyote hivi vilivyokusanywa hapa vitakuwa vyako. Akasema: Mimi mwenyewe simponyi mtu yeyote. Ni Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayeponya, na ukiukiri imani kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, nami nitamwomba Mwenyezi Mungu akuponye. Naye akakiri imani yake kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwenyezi Mungu akamponya, akamwendea mfalme na kuketi karibu yake kama alivyokuwa akiketi hapo awali. Mfalme akamwambia: Nani amekurudishia uwezo wa kuona? Akasema: Bwana wangu! Mfalme akastaajabu: Je, ina maana Bwana wako ni mwingine mbali nami? Akasema: Bwana wangu na Bwana wako ni Mwenyezi Mungu. Hivyo akamkamata na kumtesa hadi akatoa habari za yule kijana. Basi yule kijana aliitwa, na mfalme akamwambia: Ee kijana, nimeambiwa kwamba umekuwa mahiri sana katika uchawi wako hata unawaponya vipofu na wenye ukoma, na unafanya mambo kadha wa kadha. Kijana akasema: Mimi simponyi mtu yeyote; ni Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayeponya. Mfalme akamkamata na kuanza kumtesa. Hatimaye kijana akatoa habari za yule mtawa. Yule mtawa aliitwa, akaambiwa: Ni lazima uiache dini yako. Lakini yeye alikataa kufanya hivyo. Aliamuru msumeno uletwe, na (ulipokamilika) akauweka katikati ya kichwa chake na kukikata vipande vipande hadi kipande kimoja kikaanguka chini. Kisha mtumishi wa mfalme akaletwa na akaambiwa: Geuka uache dini yako. Lakini alikataa kufanya hivyo, msumeno ukawekwa katikati ya kichwa chake na kukatwa hadi kipande kimoja kikaanguka chini.

Allah, if the affair of the monk is dearer to Thee than the affair of the magician, cause death to this animal so that the people should be able to move about freely. He threw that stone towards it and killed it and the people began to move about (on the path freely). He (the young man) then came to that monk and informed him and the monk said: Sonny, today you are superior to me. Your affair has come to a stage where I find that you would be soon put to a trial, and in case you are put to a trial don't give my clue. That young man began to treat the blind and those suffering from leprosy. He in fact began to cure people from (all kinds) of illness. When a companion of the king who had gone blind heard about him, he came to him with numerous gifts and said: If you cure me, all these things collected together here would be yours. He said: I myself do not cure anyone. It is Allah Who cures and if you affirm faith in Allah, I shall also supplicate Allah to cure you. He affirmed his faith in Allah and Allah cured him and he came to the king and sat by his side as he used to sit before. The king said to him: Who restored your eyesight? He said: My Lord! The king got astounded: should it mean that your Lord is another One besides me. He said: My Lord and your Lord is Allah, so he (the king) took hold of him and tormented him till he gave a clue of that boy. The young man was thus summoned and the king said to him: 0 boy, it has been conveyed to me that you have become so much proficient in your magic that you cure the blind and those suffering from leprosy and you do such and such things. The boy said: I do not cure anyone; it is Allah Who cures. The king took hold of him and began to torment him. Eventually the boy gave a clue of the monk. The monk was thus summoned and it was said to him: You should turn back from your religion. He, however, refused to do so. He (ordered) for a saw to be brought (and when it was done) he (the king) placed it in the middle of his head and tore it into parts till a part fell down. Then the courtier of the king was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. And he refused to do so, and the saw was placed in the midst of his head and it was torn till a part fell down.

Mfalme alitoa amri: "Mpelekeni hadi mlima fulani, mumpandishe mlima huo, na mtakapofika kileleni (mwambieni aukatae imani yake). Lakini akikataa kufanya hivyo, basi mtupeni (chini ya mlima)." Basi wakamchukua na kumpandisha mlimani, naye akasema: "Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, niokoe nao kwa namna yoyote Unayoitaka." Mlima ukaanza kutikisika, nao wote wakaanguka chini, na yule mtu akatembea akamwendea mfalme. Mfalme akamwuliza: "Imekuwaje kwa wenzako (maofisa wako)?" Akasema: "Mwenyezi Mungu ameniokoa nao." Tena akamkabidhi kwa baadhi ya maofisa wake, akasema: "Mchukueni mkamweke katika mashua ndogo, na mtakapofika katikati ya bahari (mwambieni aiache) dini yake; lakini asipoiacha dini yake, mtupeni (majini)." Basi wakamchukua, na yule kijana akasema: "Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, niokoe nao na kile wanachotaka kunitendea." Muda si mrefu mashua ikapinduka, nao wakazama, naye akatembea akamwendea mfalme. Mfalme akamwambia: "Imekuwaje kwa wenzako (maofisa wako)?" Akasema: "Mwenyezi Mungu amenisalimisha nao." Kisha akamwambia mfalme: "Hutaweza kuniua mpaka ufanye ninavyokuomba." Mfalme akauliza: "Ni lipi hilo?" Akasema: "Wakusanye watu katika uwanja wa wazi, kisha unifunge kwenye shina la mti. Kisha chukua mshale kutoka kwenye podo, useme: 'Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola wa viumbe vyote,' kisha urushe mshale, nawe ukifanya hivyo utaweza kuniua." Mfalme aliwakusanya watu katika uwanja wa wazi, akamfunga kijana kwenye shina la mti, kisha akachukua mshale kutoka kwenye podo, akauweka kwenye upinde, kisha akasema: "Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mola wa kijana huyu," kisha akarusha mshale, nao ukamchoma kwenye paji lake la uso. Yeye (kijana) akaweka mikono yake juu ya paji la uso pale mshale ulipomchoma, akafa. Watu wakasema: "Tunaamini kwa Mola wa kijana huyu, tunaamini kwa Mola wa kijana huyu, tunaamini kwa Mola wa kijana huyu." Maswahiba wa mfalme walimwendea mfalme, nao wakamwambia: Je, huoni kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kweli ametimiza kile ulichokusudia kukizuia?

The king ruled: Take him to such and such mountain,' make him climb up that mountain and when you reach its top (ask him to renounce his faith) but if he refuses to do so, then throw him (down the mountain). So they took him and made him climb up the mountain and he said: 0 Allah, save me from them (in any way) Thou likest and the mountain began to quake and they all fell down and that person came walking to the king. The king said to him: What has happened to your companions (the courtiers)? He said: Allah has saved me from them. He again handed him to some of his courtiers and said: Take him and carry him in a small boat and when you reach the middle of the ocean (ask him to renounce) his religion, but if he does not renounce his religion throw him (into the water). So they took him and the boy said: 0 Allah, save me from them and what they want to do. It was quite soon that the boat turned over and they were drowned and he came walking to the king, and the king said to him: What has happened to your companions (the courtiers)? He said: Allah has saved me from them, and he said to the king: You cannot kill me until you do what I ask you to do. And he said: What is that? He said: You should gather people in a plain and hang me by the trunk (of a tree). Then take hold of an arrow from the quiver and say: In the name of Allah, the Lord of the worlds, then shoot an arrow and if you do that then you would be able to kill me. The king called the people in an open plain and tied the boy to the trunk of a tree, then he took hold of an arrow from his quiver and then placed the arrow in the bow and then said: In the Name of Allah, the Lord of the young boy; he then shot an arrow and it bit his temple. He (the boy) placed his hands upon the temple where the arrow had bit him and he died and the people said: We affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man, we affirm our faith in the Lord of this young man. The courtiers came to the king and it was said to him: Do you see that Allah has actually done what you aimed at averting.
