اُردوEn
1786 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ الْقَمَرَ انْشَقَّ فِي زَمَانِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the moon was split into two parts.
Brief Explanation
The disbelievers of Makkah thought that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) could show wonders on the earth by the force of his magic. His magic, however, would not be effective in the sky. Based on this notion, they requested the miracle of the splitting of the moon (shaqq al-qamar). Thus, Allah Ta‘ala showed them this miracle. (Raaz)
