安拉至大至全能说：

Allah the Almighty says:

{并为他们举一个比喻：两个人，我为其中一人设置了两座葡萄园，并用椰枣树环绕它们，又在两园之间安排了耕地。两座园子各自都结出了果实，丝毫没有减产，我又使一条河在园中流淌。他拥有许多财产，便在与同伴交谈时说："我的财富比你多，我的人手也比你强。"他带着自负和不信进入自己的园子，不义地对待了自己。他说："我想这园子永远不会毁灭。我也不认为末日会来临。即使我真的被带回到我的主那里（在复活日），我也必定会在回到他那里时，找到比这更好的东西。"他的同伴在与他交谈时对他说："你否认那位用泥土创造了你的主吗（即你的始祖阿丹），然后用精液滴（男女混合的分泌物）创造了你，然后把你塑造成一个人？"至于我，我相信他是安拉，我的主，我决不以任何事物与我的主并列为伴。}

{And put forward to them the example of two men: unto one of them We had given two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date palms; and had put between them green crops (cultivated fields). Each of those two gardens brought forth its produce, and failed not in the least therein, and We caused a river to gush forth in the midst of them. And he had property (or fruit) and he said to his companion, in the course of mutual talk: "I am more than you in wealth and stronger in respect of men." And he went into his garden while in a state (of pride and disbelief), unjust to himself. He said: "I think not that this will ever perish. And I think not the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back to my Lord, (on the Day of Resurrection), I surely shall find better than this when I return to Him." His companion said to him during the talk with him: "Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you out of dust (i.e. your father Adam), then out of Nutfah (mixed semen drops of male and female discharge), then fashioned you into a man?"But as for my part, (I believe) that He is Allah, my Lord, and none shall I associate as partner with my Lord.

"你进入自己的园圃时，本应说：'这是安拉所意欲的！除安拉外，没有任何力量！'{若你见我在财产和子嗣方面不如你，那么，或许我的主会赐给我比你的园圃更好的东西，并从天上降下雷霆（刑罚、霹雳），园圃就变成光滑的土地。}"

"It was better for you to say, when you entered your garden: 'That which Allah wills (will come to pass)! There is no power but with Allah! If you see me less than you in wealth, and children. "It may be that my Lord will give me something better than your garden and will send on it Husban (torment, bolt) from the sky, then it will be a slippery earth.

"或者它的水渗入地下深处，使你永远无法找到它。"于是他的果实被包围毁坏了。他因为在园中所花的钱而双手拍击（懊悔不已），园子已经倾覆在棚架之上，他只能说："但愿我从未把任何人同我的主并列！"他没有一群人来帮助他对抗真主，他自己也无法自救。在那里（在复活日），权力、保护、主宰与王权（属于真主）。

"Or the water thereof (of the gardens) becomes deep-sunken (underground) so that you will never be able to seek it." So his fruits were encircled (with ruin). And he remained clapping his hands (with sorrow) over what he had spent upon it, while it was all destroyed on its trellises, and he could only say: "Would that I had ascribed no partners to my Lord!" And he had no group of men to help him against Allah, nor could he defend (or save) himself. There (on the Day of Resurrection), Al-Walayah (protection, power, authority and kingdom)

将归于唯一的真神安拉。祂(安拉)是最佳的赏赐者，也是最好的终极归宿。（La ilaha illallah——除安拉外，没有任何应当被崇拜的主。）}（《洞窟》章，32-44节）

will be for Allah (Alone), the True God. He (Allah) is the Best for reward and the Best for the final end. (La ilaha illallah -none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)}. (Al-Kahf, 32-44)

有些学者说:这只是一个打比方的例子,未必真实发生过。但大多数学者认为它确实发生过,就发生在我们今世的生活中。他的话:{你为他们举个比喻},即为古莱氏的多神教徒而设,因为他们心存骄傲,轻慢贫弱者。这与安拉的话相似,安拉说:{你为他们举个比喻:那城市的居民,当时有使者去到他们那里}。(雅辛章,13节)众所周知,这两个人中一个是信士,另一个是不信者。也有人说,两人都非常富有。信士将他全部的财富都花在安拉的事业上。相反,那个不信者虽然被赐予了园圃和果园(《古兰经》中详细提到的那两座园子即是其中之一),他却背离了安拉的正道。他的两座园子里有葡萄和椰枣树,环绕着他的植物和葡萄,还有溢流的河水和小溪流淌于各处,与他的财产相伴。他树木和植物的果实众多,不可胜数(这全凭安拉的恩典),他的园子景色十分宜人。然而,这座双园的主人变得骄傲,并傲慢地对待那位信士,说:{我的财产比你多,我的人力比你强}。即我比你优越,因为你把全部财富白白花掉了,而没有像我那样去做:购置园圃和果园,把钱投入其中以期日后获利。你本应效仿我的做法!于是,{他带着自己的不义走进了他的园子}(即他处于骄傲和不信的状态),也就是处于不讨安拉至尊欢喜的状态之中(以骄傲和傲慢自居)。 他说：{我认为这永远不会消失}，原因在于园中有大量的植物和树木；即便其中有几棵枯萎了，他也必定（他自以为如此）能换来更好、更出色的。因为在他看来，他拥有一切：充沛的水源、无数的果实，以及种类繁多的植物。

Some scholars said: This is a mere example that has not necessarily taken place in real life. But, the majority of scholars hold that it really took place and happened in this present life of ours. His Statement, {And put forward to them the example}, i.e. for the polytheists of Quraish as they wear pride and show arrogance to the weak and poor. This is like Allah's Statement that reads, {And put forward to them a similitude: the (story of the) dwellers of the town, [it is said that the town was Antioch (Antakiya)], when there came Messengers to them}. (Ya-Sin, 13) It is well-known that one of these two men was a believer, while the other was a disbeliever. It is also said that each one of them was very rich. The believer spent all his riches and wealth in the Cause of Allah. Conversely, the disbeliever, though granted gardens and orchards (of which are the two gardens mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an in full details), He diverted from Allah's Path. His two gardens contained grapes and date-palms surrounding his plants and grapes, along with overflowing rivers and water streams running everywhere along with his property. The fruits of his trees and plants were numerous and countless (only by Allah's Grace), and the sight of his gardens was very pleasant. However, the owner of the two gardens became proud and dealt arrogantly with the believing man saying: {I am more than you in wealth and stronger in respect of men}, i.e. I am better than you as you spent all your wealth in vain and you did not do as I did: buying gardens and orchards and investing the money therein to gain the profits later. You should have followed my very steps! And, {he went into his garden while in a state (of pride and disbelief), unjust to himself), i.e. in a state that is not pleasing to Allah the Almighty (with pride and arrogance). And he {said: I think not that this will ever perish}, that is because there is plenty of its plants and trees and if any of these were to perish, he would certainly (as he thought) get it replaced with a better and more fine one. For -he thought -he has everything: plentiful water, countless fruits, and varieties of plants.

然后,那个不信道者说:{我想那复活的时刻永远不会到来},他全心信赖今世虚浮的享受,并否认了永恒的后世的存在。接着他又说:{即使我真的被召回到我的主那里(在复活日),我回去时必定会在那里找到比这更好的},也就是说,如果后世和末日确实存在,他会在那里找到比今世所赐给他的更好的东西。他被自己所得到的东西所迷惑,认为安拉至高无上赐予他这一切恩惠,是因为祂喜爱他,并且比待其他人更加厚待他。阿斯·伊本·瓦伊勒在祂的话中也说过同样的话:

Then, the disbeliever said: {And I think not the Hour will ever come}, as he put his perfect trust in the vain pleasures of this life of ours and belied the existence of the everlasting Hereafter. Then, he said: {and if indeed I am brought back to my Lord, (on the Day of Resurrection), I surely shall find better than this when I return to Him}, i.e. if there is indeed a Hereafter and a Last Day, he will find there better than what he has been given in the present life. As he was deceived by what he was given and thought that Allah the Almighty granted him all these blessings because He loves him and favors him to other people. The same was said by Al-'As Ibn Wa'il in His Saying:

{你是否见过那否认我的迹象(这部古兰经和穆罕默德ﷺ)的人,他说:"我必定会得到财富和子嗣[如果我还活着(再次)]。"他是否知道幽玄之事,或者他是否从至仁主(安拉)那里取得了盟约?}(麦尔彦章,77、78)。又,至能的安拉论及那些被赐予恩惠的人说:{若我使他尝到我所施的慈悯,在某种灾难(严重的贫困或疾病等)降临他之后,他必定会说:"这是因我的功绩而得的。"我不认为末日会来临。即使我被带回到我的主那里,在祂那里我也必定会得到最美好的(财富)。"}(火矢,50),又说:{我们必将让否认者知道他们所作的事,并使他们尝到严厉的刑罚}(火矢,50)。古兰(Qarun,即可拉黑)说:{这些财富只因我所拥有的知识而赐予我。}(故事,78),即安拉知道我配得这些。

{Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayat (this Qur'an and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) and said: "I shall certainly be given wealth and children [if I will be alive (again)]." Has he known the Unseen or has he taken a covenant from the Most Gracious (Allah)?} (Maryam, 77, 78). And, Almighty Allah says pertaining to the one He granted with blessings, {And truly, if We give him a taste of mercy from Us, after some adversity (severe poverty or disease, etc.) has touched him, he is sure to say: "This is due to my (merit); I think not that the Hour will be established. But if I am brought back to my Lord, surely, here will be for me the best (wealth) with Him "} (Fussilat, 50) and, {Then, We verily, will show to the disbelievers what they have done, and We shall make them taste a severe torment} (Fussilate, 50), and Qarun (Korah) said, {This has been given to me only because of the knowledge I possess}. (Al-Qasas, 78) i.e. for Allah knows that I deserve it.

但是,安拉至高无上说:{他难道不知道,在他以前,安拉已经毁灭了比他更强大、积聚的财富更多的世代吗?但罪犯(不信道者、以物配主者、罪人)不会被询问他们的罪行(因为安拉完全知道他们,所以他们将受惩罚,而无需接受清算)。}(《故事》,78)又,安拉至高无上说:{你们的财产和子女都不能使你们靠近我们,只有信道并行善的人才能如此;这种人,他们所行的善功将获得加倍的报酬,他们将安居于高楼(乐园)之中。}(《赛伯邑》,37)还有,{他们以为我们用财产和子女供给他们,就是在使他们迅速享受福利吗?不然,这是一种考验……}

But, Allah the Almighty says: {Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him generations, men who were stronger than him in might and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? But the Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) will not be questioned of their sins (because Allah knows them well, so they will be punished without being called to account)}. (Al-Qasas, 78) And, Allah the Almighty says: {And it is not your wealth, nor your children that bring you nearer to Us (i.e. please Allah), but only he who believes (in the Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds (will please Us), as for such, there will be twofold reward for what they did, and they will reside in the high dwellings (Paradise) in peace and security} (Saba', 37) and, {Do they think that in wealth and children with which We enlarge them. We hasten unto them with good things. Nay, [it is a Fitnah (trial)

在今世的生活中……以致他们在后世没有福分。}但他们并不觉悟。（《信士》，55、56节）

in this worldly life so that they will have no share of good things in the Hereafter] but they perceive not}. (Al-Mu'minun, 55, 56)

当这个无知之人被今世所赐予的东西迷惑时,他否认后世,并声称:即使后世真的存在,他也会找到比先前所赐予他的更好的东西。他的同伴(那位信道的人)听到他这样说,便在与他辩论时对他说:{你难道不信那创造你的主吗?他先用泥土创造你(即你的始祖阿丹),然后用精液滴(男女的分泌液混合而成的精滴)创造你,然后把你造成一个男人?}即:你既然知道创造你的是安拉,是那先用泥土、再用精滴、然后分阶段造化你、使你成为拥有听觉、视觉、理智和你用来犯罪的各种器官的健全而挺拔的男人的主,你还怎能否认复活呢?你既然知道安拉能够从无中创造你,你又怎能否认复活呢?{至于我,(我相信)祂就是安拉,我的主},即我所信的与你所信或所想的截然不同。{(我相信)}

When this ignorant was deluded by what he has been given in this present life, he denied the Hereafter and claimed that if it is to be there, he would find that which is better than what he was first given. When his companion (the believing man) heard him saying so, he said to him {during the talk with him}, i.e. during their debate. {Do you disbelieve in Him Who created you out of dust (i.e. your father Adam), then out of Nutfah (mixed semen drops of male and female discharge), then fashioned you into a man?}, i.e. do you disbelieve in the Day of Resurrection while you know that He, Allah, is Him Who created you out of dust, then out of Nutfah, then fashioned you in stages till you became a sound and well-erected man with hearing, sight, understanding and organs you transgress with! Then, how could you deny the Resurrection while you know that Allah is capable of creating you out of nothingness. {But as for my part, (I believe) that He is Allah, my Lord}, i.e. I believe in other than what you believe in or even think of. As {(I believe)

...他就是安拉,我的主,我不会让任何事物与我的主同等。这意味着,我不崇拜祂以外的任何事物,我相信祂会使死者复活,将散落腐朽的骨头重新聚集起来,我知道在安拉的主权与创造中没有任何同伴,除祂以外别无真神。

that He is Allah, my Lord, and none shall I associate as partner with my Lord}, i.e. I do not worship other than Him and I believe in that He will resurrect the dead and gather the scattered and rotten bones together, and I know that there is no partner with Allah in His Dominion or creation, and that there is no god but Him.

然后，他引导他说出进入花园时应当说的话，经文说：{你进入你的花园时，本应说："这是真主所愿！除真主外，没有能力！"}。因此，凡是对自己的任何财产、家庭、子女或地位感到惊叹的人，都应当说这些话："这是真主所愿！除真主外，没有能力！"

Then, he guided him towards what should have been said upon entering the garden saying: {It was better for you to say, when you entered your garden: 'That which Allah wills (will come to pass)! There is no power but with Allah!'}, for this, it is better for anyone who becomes admirer of any of his wealth, household, children or status, he should say these words: (That which Allah wills (will come to pass)! There is no power but with Allah!).

然后,信士对不信道者说:{如果你看到我在财产和子嗣方面不如你,那么或许我的主会赐给我比你的园圃更好的东西}——指后世的赏赐。{并从天空降下火罚,或是灾难,使它化为光秃的平地},即降下毁灭其树木和作物的灾罚或暴雨,{于是它将成为滑溜的土地},即不长植物也不生长任何东西的松软尘土。{或者它的水(即园圃的水)}

Then, the believer said to the disbeliever: {If you see me less than you in wealth, and children. It may be that my Lord will give me something better than your garden}, i.e. in the Hereafter. {And will send on it Husban (torment, bolt) from the sky}, i.e. torment or heavy rain that uproots its trees and plants, {then it will be a slippery earth}, i.e. soft dust that does not grow plants or anything. {Or the water thereof (of the gardens)

…变成深陷地下的（干涸之水），与那原本奔涌的水相反，{以致你永远无法找到它}，即你将永远无法使其恢复或重获。接着，安拉至高无上说：{他的果实被毁灭了}，即他所有的果实和植物都被毁坏、彻底摧毁。{他因在园中所花费的一切而搓手懊悔，而园子已倒塌在棚架上}，即彻底毁灭、完全荒废。这实在违背了他的希望和愿望，因为他先前曾说：{我想这园子永远不会毁灭}。于是他懊悔自己先前的行为和言论，那些言论宣告了他对安拉至高无上的不信，他只能说：{唉！我但愿没有把任何同伴归于我的主！}接着，安拉至高无上说：{他没有任何人群来帮助他对抗安拉，他自己也无法自救}，即他既无人可以帮助，也无法自我救助。这与安拉的经文相同，经文说：{那时他将没有力量，也没有任何援助者}（《启明星》，10），以及祂的经文：{在那日（复活日），主权（保护、权力、权威和王权）唯属于真实的安拉}，即在那日，对此事以及一切情形的不可辩驳的裁决和不可抗拒的统治，唯属于安拉至高无上。{祂是最好的赏赐者，也是最好的归宿}，即与安拉交易胜过一切，因为祂给予最好的报酬，最好的归宿和目标都在于祂。最后，这个故事说明了三件事。

becomes deep-sunken (underground)} that is opposite to the overflowing water, {so that you will never be able to seek it}, i.e. you will never be able to restore or regain it. Then, Allah the Almighty says: {So his fruits were encircled (with ruin)}, i.e. all his fruits and plants were ruined and totally destroyed. {And he remained clapping his hands (with sorrow) over what he had spent upon it, while it was all destroyed on its trellises}, i.e. totally destroyed and perfectly ruined. That was really against his hopes and wishes as he previously said: {I think not that this will ever perish}. So, he regretted his previous acts and sayings that declared him as a disbeliever in Allah the Almighty and he could only say: {Would that I had ascribed no partners to my Lord!}. Then, Allah the Almighty says: {And he had no group of men to help him against Allah, nor could he defend (or save) himself}, i.e. he could neither be helped by others, or even help himself. This is as the Statement of Allah that reads: {Then he will have no power, nor any helper}, (At- Tariq, 10) and His Saying, {There (on the Day of Resurrection), Al- Walayah (protection, power, authority and kingdom) will be for Allah (Alone), the True God}, i.e. the irrefutable judgment and irresistible ruling on this and on all conditions will be for Allah the Almighty Alone. {He (Allah) is the Best for reward and the Best for the final end}, i.e. trading with Allah is better than anything else as He gives the best of all rewards and with Him rests the best of all ends and goals. Finally, this story denotes three things:

(a) 一个人不应将自己出卖给今世生活的享乐，也不应被其迷惑。此外，一个人应当比起自己手中所有之物，更加信赖真主手中所掌握的。一个人应当全然地信靠唯独真主。服从真主应当是一个人首要的且最终的目标。任何将其他事物置于真主及其服从之上的人，必将因此而受到惩罚。

(a) One should not sell himself out to the luxuries of this present life of ours and should not be deluded thereof. Moreover, one should trust what is in Allah's Hand more than what is in his own hand. One should put his entire trust in Allah Alone. Obedience of Allah should be one's first and final goal. Anyone who prefers anything to Allah and His obedience surely will be tormented thereof.

（b）人应当全心接受其有慈悲之心的兄弟的劝告，因为拒绝他的忠告，就意味着彻底的毁灭和完全的败亡。

(b) One should whole-heartedly accept the advice of his compassionate brother, as in rejecting his counselor advice there rests complete destruction and perfect ruin.

(c) 如果天命已定，那么后悔也是徒劳的。

(c) Regretting goes in vain if the Divine Decree is already done.
