Chapter: "So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?"
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 8771 — "So which of the favors of your Lord will
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَأَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ آيَةً فَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ بِمَكَّةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ [القمر: 1-2]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Makkah asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a miracle, so the moon was split into two in Makkah. Then Allah the Exalted said: {اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَۃُ وَانْشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَإِنْ یَرَوْا آیَۃًیُعْرِضُوْا وَیَقُولُوْا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ} … The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. Yet whenever they see a sign, they turn away and say, "This is passing magic."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … This miracle was shown at the request of the people of Makkah. Among the scholars, it is agreed upon that the splitting of the moon (inshiqaq al-qamar) occurred during the time of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and it is among his clear miracles. Authentic and mass-transmitted (mutawatir) hadiths indicate this. However, instead of believing, the Quraysh declared it to be magic and continued in their attitude of turning away.
