5. 先知的预言
5. The Prophet’s Prophecies
在穆罕默德ﷺ先知性的诸多最伟大、最有说服力的见证中,有许多次他准确预言了未来之事。唯有真主赐予其窥见幽玄界的人,才能一次又一次地准确预知未来。本章将撷取其中一些预言——所有这些都源自古兰经经文和可靠的圣训——并说明每一项预言如何如他ﷺ所预言的那样得以应验。
Some of the greatest and most convincing testimonies to the prophethood of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم are the numerous occasions on which he correctly predicted future events. Only one to whom God had granted access to the realm of the unseen could have, time and again, accurately foretold the future. This chapter will seek to capture some of these predictions—all derived from Qur’anic verses and authentic hadith—and how each one of them came to pass, just as he صلى الله عليه وسلم predicted.
卡迪·伊亚德(卒于1149年)说:“这类圣训犹如无底的大海、无尽的溪流。它们是先知ﷺ的奇迹之一,因其传述者众多、意义相互吻合,以‘泰瓦图尔’(广泛传承)的方式传到我们这里,确凿无疑,且都印证了一个事实:先知ﷺ曾获知部分幽玄之事。”263
Al-Qāḍī ‘Iyāḍ (d. 1149) says, “This genre of hadith(s) are a bottomless ocean and an unending stream. They are one of his miracles which are undeniably established, transmitted to us by tawātur (abundant concurrence), due to their many narrators and the concordance of their meanings, all corroborating the fact that he صلى الله عليه وسلم was privy to [some of] the unseen.”263
在本章中,我们将潜入这片海洋,探索其中的一些奇妙之处。
In this chapter, we will take a dive into this ocean, exploring some of its wonders.
