园子的主人们
People Of The Garden
安拉至高无上地说:
Allah the Almighty says:
{誠然,我們考驗他們,正如我們考驗園主那樣,當時他們發誓要在清晨摘取園中的果實。
{Verily, We have tried them as We tried the people of the garden, when they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden) in the morning.
不说“如果安拉意欲”(Insha'Allah,即“如果安拉意欲”)。于是,你的主派来的一场火灾在夜间降临到那园子上,在他们熟睡之时将它烧毁。因此,到了早晨,那园子变得漆黑,如同一个全黑的夜晚(已成一片废墟)。天刚亮,他们便彼此呼唤,说:“如果你们要采摘果实,就早晨去你们的田地吧。”于是他们动身,低声密语(说):“今天不许任何穷人进入你们的园子。”他们怀着坚决的意图在早晨出发,以为自己有能力(阻止穷人取走园中的任何果实)。但当他们看到那园子时,便说:
Without saying: Insha'Allah (If Allah wills). Then there passed by on the (garden) a visitation (fire) from your Lord at night and burnt it while they were asleep. So the (garden) became black by the morning, like a pitch dark night (in complete ruins). Then they called out one to another as soon as the morning broke. Saying: "Go to your tilth in the morning, if you would pluck the fruits." So they departed, conversing in secret low tones (saying): No Miskin (poor man) shall enter upon you into it today. And they went in the morning with strong intention, thinking that they have power (to prevent the poor taking anything of the fruits therefrom). But when they saw the (garden), they said:
"诚然,我们迷失了方向。"(他们接着说):"不!实际上我们被剥夺了(果实)!"他们中最有见识的人说:"我不是对你们说过吗:
"Verily, we have gone astray." (Then they said): "Nay! Indeed we are deprived of (the fruits)!" The best among them said: "Did I not tell you:
I'm sorry, but I can't respond to that as a question. My role here is to translate the text you send into Simplified Chinese, so I'll translate it as given: 为什么说你不:Insha' Allah(如果真主意欲)。"他们说:"赞美我们的主!我们确实是不义者(Zalimun)。"然后他们互相指责、彼此埋怨。他们说:"我们真是祸害!我们确实是越轨者(Taghun,悖逆而违抗的人)。我们希望我们的主会赐给我们一座比这个更好的园圃来代替。我们确实归向我们的主(期望他能宽恕我们的罪过,并在后世给予我们报酬)。这就是今世的惩罚,但后世的惩罚更大,如果他们知道的话。"(Al-Qalam, 17-33)
why say you not: Insha' Allah (If Allah wills)." They said: "Glory to Our Lord! Verily, we have been Zalimun (wrong-doers)." Then they turned one against another, blaming. They said: "Woe to us! Verily, we were Taghun (transgressors and disobedient). We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange a better (garden) than this. Truly, we turn to our Lord (wishing for good that He may forgive our sins and reward us in the Hereafter). Such is the punishment (in this life), but truly the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they but knew}. (Al-Qalam, 17- 33)
这是真主至高无上为古莱氏的多神教徒所立的一个例子,因为祂曾恩赐他们派遣尊贵伟大的先知穆罕默德ﷺ降临于他们之中,但他们却否认他,拒绝他所带来的启示。全能的真主说:{你难道没有看到那些将真主的恩典换成了忘恩负义(否认先知穆罕默德ﷺ及其伊斯兰使命),并使他们的people居于毁灭之家的人吗?那就是火狱,他们将在其中被焚烧,那真是最恶劣的归宿!}(易卜拉欣章,28、29节) 伊本·阿拔斯(愿真主喜悦他)说:他们是古莱氏的多神教徒,他们被比作一座花园的主人,园中有各种果实和植物,已经成熟,收获的时候到了。于是,祂——荣耀归祂——说:{当他们暗中起誓},即{清晨一定要摘取园中的果实};{清晨}是为了不被穷人或贫困者看见,从而被迫把园中的任何果实施舍给他们。于是他们发誓这样做,却没有说"如果真主意欲"。结果,全能的真主使他们的计划落空,并降下火焰烧毁了花园,使其一无所剩。祂——荣耀归祂——说:{在他们熟睡之时,来自你的主的一场灾难在夜间降临于花园,将其烧毁。到了早晨,花园变得焦黑,如同漆黑的夜晚(一片废墟)}。
This is an example set by Allah the Almighty for the polytheists of Quraish as He favored them with sending the honorable and great Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be upon him), but they belied him and rejected what he had brought them. Almighty Allah, says: {Have you not seen those who have changed the Blessings of Allah into disbelief (by denying Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and his Message of Islam), and caused their people to dwell in the house of destruction? Hell, in which they will burn, -and what an evil place to settle in!}. (Ibrahim, 28, 29) Ibn 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: They are the polytheists of Quraish whom were likened to the people of the garden that contained various fruits and plants that were ripe and the time of their harvesting has come. Thus, He, Glory be His, says: {When they swore} secretly {to pluck the fruits of the (garden)} i.e. to harvest it; {in the morning} in order not to be seen by either a poor, or a needy and be forced to donate to or give them any of its fruits. So, they swore to this without saying "If Allah wills". Consequently, Allah the Almighty disabled them and sent over their garden fire that burnt it and left nothing thereof. He, Glory be His, says: {Then, there passed by on the (garden) a visitation (fire) from your Lord at night and burnt it while they were asleep. So the (garden) became black by the morning, like a pitch dark night (in complete ruins)}.
艾敬主说:{于是他们清晨时便互相呼唤},即他们早晨起来,彼此呼喊说:{你们若要摘取果子,就趁早到你们的田园去},即你们及早到你们的园子里去,在贫穷和需要的人来向你们求济之前摘取果实。故事接着说:{于是他们边走边小声私语},即彼此低声交谈说:{今天不许任何贫民进入园子打扰你们},即他们就此达成一致,并相互商议。故事继续说:{他们清晨前往,心中自以为有能力(阻止贫民从果园中取得任何果实)},即他们满怀认真、自恃有力,并抱着强烈的恶念前去。
Allah the Almighty says: {Then they called out one to another as soon as the morning broke}, i.e. they got up in the morning and they called out one to another saying: {Go to your tilth in the morning, if you would pluck the fruits}, i.e. go early to your garden and pluck the fruits before the poor and needy persons come to ask you for charity. The story goes: {So they departed, conversing in secret low tones}, i.e. talking one to another in low tones saying: {No Miskin (poor man) shall enter upon you into it today}, i.e. they agreed upon that and made mutual consultations thereto. The story goes on: {And they went in the morning with strong intention, thinking that they have power (to prevent the poor taking anything of the fruits therefrom)}, i.e. they went forth with seriousness, power and strong bad intention.
Ikrimah 和 Ash-Shu`abi 说:{他们清早出发,心怀决意},即对穷人怀有愤怒和恶意。{当他们看见园子时},即当他们到达自己的园子,发现园子遭受了何种变故时,于是{他们说:我们确实迷路了},即
`Ikrimah and Ash-Shu`abi said: {And they went in the morning with strong intention}, i.e. rage and bad intention against the poor. {But when they saw the (garden)}, i.e. when they reached their garden and found what had happened to it, upon this {they said: Verily, we have gone astray}, i.e.
我们迷失了通往自家园子的路。于是他们说:{不!我们确实被剥夺了(果实)!},即我们因恶念而受到惩罚,被剥夺了耕种所得的福泽。
we have lost our way to our own garden, then they said: {Nay! Indeed we are deprived of (the fruits)!}, i.e. we have been punished because of our bad intentions and were deprived of the blessing of our tilth.
然而,{其中最好的那个人说} 伊本·阿拔斯(愿安拉喜悦他)、穆扎希德及其他人说:他是他们所有人中最好、最中正、最公正的人。{我不是对你们说过吗:你们为何不说:如果安拉意欲(Insha'Allah)}。有人说:这是说了一句好话,而不是去做他们所打算的事。{他们说:"赞美我们的主!我们确实是不义者。"然后他们相互指责。他们说:"我们遭殃了!我们确实是越轨者。"}他们在二者都无法帮助他们时懊悔并表现出悲伤,他们在受到惩罚之后承认了自己的罪行,而一切都已徒劳无功。
And, {the best among them said} Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him), Mujahid and others said: He was the best and the most moderate and just one among them all. {Did I not tell you: why say you not: Insha'Allah (If Allah wills)}, it was said: To say a good word instead of what you have intended. {They said: "Glory to Our Lord! Verily, we have been Zalimun (wrong-doers)." Then they turned one against another, blaming. They said: "Woe to us! Verily, we were Taghun (transgressors and disobedient)}, they regretted and showed sorrow when both could do them nothing, and they confessed their sinful deed after they had been punished and all that went in vain.
据说:他们是兄弟,从已故的父亲那里继承了那座花园,父亲生前多行施舍。然而,他们拥有花园之后,便否认父亲的做法,打算剥夺穷人应得的果实。于是,安拉至高无上,惩罚了他们,使他们遭受了最严厉的刑罚。为此,安拉至高无上命令必须从果实中取出天课,并且最好在收获之日缴纳。祂说:{你们可以吃它结果的时候的果实,但收获的那日,你们应当缴纳它的应有之分(天课,按照安拉的命令为十分之一或二十分之一)}。(《牲畜》,141节)
It was said: That they were brothers and they inherited that garden from their late father who used to give much and much in charity. But, when they possessed the garden they denied the acting of their late father and intended to deprive the poor of its fruits. Thereupon, Allah the Almighty punished them and gave them the severest of penalties. For this, Allah the Almighty commanded that charity must be taken out of fruits and it is preferably to be paid on the day of harvesting. He says: {Eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof (its Zakah, according to Allah's Orders l/lOth or 1/20th) on the day of its harvest}. (Al-An'am, 141)
有人说:他们来自也门,出自一个名叫"达尔万"的城镇。也有人说:他们来自阿比西尼亚。真主至知!真主至高无上说:{这就是惩罚},即如此,我们惩罚那些违抗我们命令、不对受难者施以恩惠的造物。{后世的刑罚必定更严厉},比今世的刑罚更重,{假如他们知道}的话。
It was said: They were from the Yemen, from a town called "Darwan". It was also said: They were from Abyssinia. Allah knows best! Allah the Almighty says: {Such is the punishment}, i.e. like this We punish whose who disobey Our Command and does not show kindness to the needy from among Our creatures. {But truly the punishment of the Hereafter is greater} than that of the present life {if they but knew}.
这个故事与安拉的话相似:{安拉设了一个比喻:一个城市,它的居民安居乐业,衣食充裕,从各方源源而来,但他们却忘恩负义,否认安拉的恩惠。于是安拉使他们尝到了饥饿和恐惧的苦难,这是他们(因否认先知穆罕默德ﷺ)所作所为的报应。的确,一位使者(穆罕默德ﷺ)已从他们中间来到他们那里,但他们否认他,于是刑罚降临他们,因为他们是不义者(多神教徒和作恶者)。}(一章《蜜蜂》112、113节)有人说,这个比喻指的是麦加人为自己所设的例子,这其中并无矛盾。安拉最知道!
This story resembles Allah's Saying: {And Allah puts forward the example of a township, that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming to it in abundance from every place, but it (its people) denied the Favors of Allah (with ungratefulness). So Allah made it taste extreme of hunger (famine) and fear, because of that (evil, i.e. denying Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) which they (its people) used to do. And verily, there had come unto them a Messenger (Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among themselves, but they denied him, so the torment overtook them while they were Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)}. (An-Nahl, 112, 113) It was said that this example was of the people of Mecca set for themselves and verily, there is no contradiction in this. Allah knows best!
