عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَمْعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ النَّاقَةَ وَذَكَرَ الَّذِي عَقَرَهَا فَقَالَ {إِذِ انْبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا} [سورة الشمس: 12] انْبَعَثَ رَجُلٌ عَارِمٌ عَزِيزٌ مَنِيعٌ فِي رَهْطِهِ مِثْلُ ابْنِ زَمْعَةَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ النِّسَاءَ فَوَعَظَهُمْ فِيهِنَّ الْحَدِيثَ
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and mentioned the she-camel and the one who hamstrung her, and said: When the most wretched man of that people stood up… a wicked, evil, chief, and obeyed by his people stood up, like Ibn Zam’ah. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned women and admonished and advised men regarding them… .
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Salih alayhis salam was sent to the people of Thamud. This was a disobedient nation; they demanded from their prophet that he should bring forth a she-camel from a stone rock in such a way that they themselves would witness it. Salih took a covenant from them that if, even after this, they did not believe, they would be destroyed. Accordingly, Allah Ta’ala manifested this miracle, but far from the rebels bringing faith, they in fact ended the matter of the she-camel altogether and were seized by Allah Ta’ala.
The command of Allah Ta’ala is: {کَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِطَغْوٰہَا اِِذِ انْبَعَثَ اَشْقٰہَا فَقَالَ لَہُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰہِ نَاقَۃَ اللّٰہِ وَسُقْیٰہَا فَکَذَّبُوْہُ فَعَقَرُوْہَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْہِمْ رَبُّہُمْ بِذَنْبِہِمْ فَسَوّٰہَا ۔} (Surah ash-Shams: 12 to 14) … The people of Thamud denied (the truth) due to their rebellion. When their most wretched one stood up. The Messenger of Allah had said to them: Guard Allah Ta’ala’s she-camel and her turn to drink (water). But they denied their prophet and hamstrung the she-camel. So their Lord, due to their sins, let loose destruction upon them and made it widespread, and leveled that settlement (destroying it completely).
According to most commentators, the name of the wretched one who hamstrung the she-camel was Qidar bin Salif; due to this rebellion, he became the chief of the wretched (ra’is al-ashqiya’). Since the entire nation participated in this wickedness, in this verse the crime is attributed to the whole nation, otherwise, in action, it was only one person who hamstrung the she-camel.
In the Battle of Nahrawan, only nine men from the Khawarij survived; they held positions of leadership and authority. They instigated rebellions and conspiracies against Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu in Persia, but were unsuccessful. Eventually, ‘Abd al-Rahman bin Muljam al-Muradi, Burak bin ‘Abdullah al-Tamimi, and ‘Amr bin Bakr al-Tamimi gathered in Makkah al-Mukarramah, and all three agreed on the opinion that Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Amir Mu‘awiyah, and Sayyiduna ‘Amr bin al-‘As should be killed. For the fulfillment of this evil resolve, they fixed the time for the Fajr prayer on Friday, 16th Ramadan, 40 AH. The responsibility of killing Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu was taken by ‘Abd al-Rahman bin Muljam, who set out for Kufa. Upon arrival, he met with his associates; his like-minded companions appointed a man named Wardan to assist Ibn Muljam, and Shabib bin Shajarah was also with them. All three reached the mosque of Kufa the previous night and sat hidden near the door. Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu, as per his habit, entered the mosque calling people to prayer. First, Wardan advanced and struck with his sword, but his sword hit the doorframe or the wall, and Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu moved forward. Ibn Muljam immediately rushed and struck a blow with his sword on your forehead, which was very severe. Due to the shock of this wound, Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu was martyred on 17th Ramadan, 40 AH. Afterwards, Sayyiduna Hasan radi Allahu anhu killed Ibn Muljam in retaliation with a single blow.
The command of Allah Ta’ala is: {کَذَّبَتْ ثَمُوْدُ بِطَغْوٰہَا اِِذِ انْبَعَثَ اَشْقٰہَا فَقَالَ لَہُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰہِ نَاقَۃَ اللّٰہِ وَسُقْیٰہَا فَکَذَّبُوْہُ فَعَقَرُوْہَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَیْہِمْ رَبُّہُمْ بِذَنْبِہِمْ فَسَوّٰہَا ۔} (Surah ash-Shams: 12 to 14) … The people of Thamud denied (the truth) due to their rebellion. When their most wretched one stood up. The Messenger of Allah had said to them: Guard Allah Ta’ala’s she-camel and her turn to drink (water).
