安拉至高无上地说:

Allah the Almighty says:

{以持有星宿的天空起誓。以那应许的日子起誓（即

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

…Day of Resurrection）。以及以见证之日（即星期五）起誓，以及被见证之日（即阿拉法日，朝觐之日，即圆月月九日）起誓。被诅咒的是坑道的人（指少年与国王故事中的那些人）。那是燃烧着燃料的火坑。当他们坐在火旁边时，他们目睹了他们对信士所做的事（即焚烧他们）。他们对那些信士的唯一过错，只是因为他们信仰了至能、至尊、当受赞颂的真主！天地的主权属于祂！真主是万物的见证者。 { 那些以迫害信道的男子和信道的妇女（用拷打和焚烧）来考验他们，而后又不悔罪归主的人，他们将受到火狱的刑罚，并将遭受烈火的惩罚。}（布鲁only 章，第1-10节）

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)

穆罕默德·伊本·伊斯哈格声称，他们生活在尔撒（愿主赐福他）降临之后，但其他学者不同意他的说法，认为他们生活在尔撒（愿主赐福他）之前。然而，许多学者提到，这件事发生了不止一次。有一段先知圣训叙述了《古兰经》中所提到之人的故事。伊玛目艾哈迈德说：哈桑·伊本·萨拉迈·传述，他从萨比特那里听说，萨比特从阿卜杜·拉赫曼·伊本·阿布·莱拉那里听说，他说：苏海布（愿真主喜悦他）传述，真主的使者（愿主赐福他）如是说："在你们之前，有一位国王，他有一位（宫廷）术士。术士年老之后，对国王说：我已年老，请派一个年轻的男孩到我这里来，我好教他法术。国王便派一个年轻的男孩去，让术士教导他。在前往术士那里的路上，这个男孩遇见一位坐在那里的修士。他听了修士的言论，深受感动。此后他便习惯于经过修士那里，与他一起听他的教导，然后晚到术士那里。术士因他迟到而打他。他把此事向修士诉说，修士对他说：当你害怕术士时，就说：是家里的人留住了我。当你害怕家人时，就说：是术士留住了我。恰巧有一头巨大的野兽出现，挡住了人们的道路，他（男孩）说：我今天要知道，术士更高明，还是修士更高明。他拾起一块石头，说：……"

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

"安拉啊,如果修士的事在你看来比魔术师的事更可爱,那就让这只动物死去,使人们能够自由通行。"他朝它扔了一块石头,将它打死了,人们便开始自由地在路上行走。那年轻人随后来到修士那里告知了他,修士说:"孩子啊,今天你已超过我了。我看到你的事情已经发展到这样的地步,你很快就会受到考验。如果你受到考验,不要把我供出来。" 那年轻人开始为盲人和麻风病人治病。事实上,他开始治愈各种疾病。国王的一位近臣失明了,他听说了此事,带着许多礼物来见年轻人,说:"如果你治好我,这里所有这些东西都归你所有。"年轻人说:"我自己并不治愈任何人,治愈的是安拉。如果你信仰安拉,我也会为你向安拉祈求,让你痊愈。"他信仰了安拉,安拉治愈了他,他来到国王那里,像以前一样坐在国王身边。国王问他:"是谁恢复了你的视力?"他说:"我的主!"国王大为惊讶:"难道说你的主是我之外的另一位?"他说:"我的主和你的主都是安拉。"于是国王抓住他,折磨他,直到他透露了那个男孩的情况。 那年轻人被传唤来,国王对他说:"孩子啊,有人告诉我,你的魔术已经非常精湛,能治愈盲人和麻风病人,还做了某某事情。"男孩说:"我不治愈任何人,治愈的是安拉。"国王抓住他,开始折磨他。最终,男孩供出了修士。修士被传唤来,有人对他说:"你应当放弃你的宗教。"但他拒绝这样做。 他下令取来一把锯子。锯子取来后，国王把它放在他的头顶正中，将他的头锯开，直到一半身体倒落下来。随后，国王的一位近臣被带了上来，有人对他说：你放弃你的宗教吧。他拒绝这样做，于是锯子被放在他的头顶正中，他的头被锯开，直到一半身体倒落下来。

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.

然后，那个少年被带了过来，有人对他说：你放弃你的宗教吧。他拒绝这样做，于是他被交给了他的一群近臣。

Then that young boy was brought and it was said to him: Turn back from your religion. He refused to do so and he was handed over to a group of his courtiers.

国王下令说:"把他带到某某山上去,让他爬上那座山。等他到达山顶时(要求他放弃信仰),但如果他拒绝,就把他扔下山去。"于是他们带着他,让他爬上山。他说:"主啊,请你以你所喜欢的方式拯救我,使我免受他们的伤害。"山开始震动,他们全都摔了下去,而那个人却走路来到了国王面前。国王对他说:"你的同伴(那些廷臣)怎么样了?"他说:"真主已经拯救我脱离了他们。"国王又把他交给另外一些廷臣,说:"带他上一条小船,等你们到达大海中央时(要求他放弃)他的宗教,但如果他不放弃宗教,就把他扔进水里。"于是他们带着他,那孩子说:"主啊,请你拯救我,使我免受他们和他们想要做的事情的伤害。"不久,船就翻了,他们都淹死了,而他却走路来到了国王面前。国王对他说:"你的同伴(那些廷臣)怎么样了?"他说:"真主已经拯救我脱离了他们。"他又对国王说:"除非你按照我的要求去做,否则你杀不了我。"国王问:"是什么要求?"他说:"你应当在一片平原上召集众人,把我绑在一棵树的树干上。然后从箭囊中取出一支箭,说:'�奉宇宙主的名义',然后射出一支箭,如果你这样做,你就能杀死我。"国王在一片空旷的平原上召集了众人,把孩子绑在树干上,然后从箭囊中取出一支箭,把箭搭在弓上,说:"奉这个少年的主的名义";然后射出一支箭,箭射中了他的太阳穴。他(孩子)把手放在被箭射中的太阳穴上,死了。人们说:"我们信仰这个少年的主,我们信仰这个少年的主,我们信仰这个少年的主。" 侍臣们来到国王面前，对他说：你看，真主确实实现了你想要避免的事。

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.

他们坚定地确认了对主的信仰。国王下令在道路的某些地段挖掘沟壑。沟壑挖好、火点燃之后,有人对他们说:谁不肯放弃他(那孩子)的宗教,就会被投入火中,或者被命令跳进火里。(人们宁愿赴死,也没有放弃信仰。)

They (the people) have affirmed their faith in the Lord. The king commanded ditches to be dug at certain points in the path. When these ditches were dug, and the fire was lit in them it was said (to the people): He who would not turn back from his (the boy's) religion would be thrown in the fire or it would be said to them to jump in it. (The people courted death but did not renounce religion)

直到有一位妇人带着她的孩子前来,她对跳入火中感到犹豫。孩子对她说:"妈妈啊,请忍耐吧,因为这是真理。"(由伊玛目艾哈迈德、伊玛目穆斯林和奈萨仪引用自哈马德·伊本·赛莱迈的圣训。)

till a woman came with her child and she felt hesitant in jumping into the fire and the child said to her: 0 mother, endure (this ordeal) for it is the Truth." (Transmitted by Imam Ahmed, Imam Muslim and An-Nasa'i from the Hadith of Hammad Ibn Salamah).

有学者宣称，“壕沟事件”在过去不止一次地重演或再现。伊本·阿比·哈提姆说：我的父亲告诉我，他是从艾布·叶玛尼那里听来的，艾布·叶玛尼又是从赛夫万·伊本·阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼·伊本·朱拜尔那里听来的，他说：

Some scholars claimed that the incident of the ditch was recurred or repeated in the past more than once. Ibn Abu Hatim said: I was told by my father after Abul Yaman after Safwan Ibn 'Abdur Rahman Ibn Jubair as saying:

发生在也门的沟槽事件，是在图巴(Tubba')在世时发生的。

the incident of the ditch took place in the Yemen during the lifetime of Tubba'.

它也发生在君士坦丁堡,当时君士坦丁在位。他放火焚烧那些坚守耶稣所传宗教(伊斯兰一神论)的基督徒,把他们投入火中。它还发生在伊拉克的巴比伦之地,当时尼布甲尼撒在位。他竖起一座偶像,命令人们向它叩拜。但丹尼尔、欧兹尔雅和马沙耶勒拒绝了,于是他点燃了一场大火,把他们投入其中。然而,至高无上的安拉使他们免于火难,并使那九个欺压他们的人自己跌入他们亲手点燃的火中。

And, it took place in Constantinople during the lifetime of Constantine who set the fires in which he threw the Christians who were sticking to the religion of Jesus (Islamic Monotheism). It also took place in Iraq, in the land of Babylon during the lifetime of Bikhtinassar who erected an idol and ordered the people to prostrate themselves before it. Daniel, 'Izrya and Mashayl refused and thereupon, he set a great fire and threw them into it. However, Allah Almighty saved them from the fire and caused the nine men who transgressed over them to fell into the fire they themselves made.

关于真主的经文：{被咒诅的是挖沟者}，艾斯-赛迪说：挖沟者的沟有三条：一条在叙利亚（Sham），另一条在伊拉克，第三条在也门。（伊本·艾比·哈提姆转述）

Concerning Allah's Statement that reads: {Cursed were the people of the Ditch}, As-Sadiy said: There were three ditches: one in Sham (Syria), another in Iraq, and the third in the Yemen. (Narrated by Ibn Abu Hatim)
