Hadith 4864
Narrated Ibn Masud: During the lifetime of Allah's Messenger the moon was split into two parts; one part remained over the mountain, and the other part went beyond the mountain. On that, Allah's Messenger said, "Witness this miracle."
قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : مُسْتَمِرٌّ : ذَاهِبٌ ، مُزْدَجَرٌ : مُتَنَاهٍ وَازْدُجِرَ فَاسْتُطِيرَ جُنُونًا ، دُسُرٍ : أَضْلَاعُ السَّفِينَةِ ، لِمَنْ كَانَ كُفِرَ ، يَقُولُ : كُفِرَ لَهُ جَزَاءً مِنَ اللَّهِ ، مُحْتَضَرٌ : يَحْضُرُونَ الْمَاءَ ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُبَيْرٍ : مُهْطِعِينَ : النَّسَلَانُ الْخَبَبُ السِّرَاعُ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ : فَتَعَاطَى : فَعَاطَهَا بِيَدِهِ فَعَقَرَهَا ، الْمُحْتَظِرِ : كَحِظَارٍ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ مُحْتَرِقٍ ، ازْدُجِرَ : افْتُعِلَ مِنْ زَجَرْتُ ، كُفِرَ : فَعَلْنَا بِهِ وَبِهِمْ مَا فَعَلْنَا جَزَاءً لِمَا صُنِعَ بِنُوحٍ وَأَصْحَابِهِ ، مُسْتَقِرٌّ : عَذَابٌ حَقٌّ يُقَالُ الْأَشَرُ الْمَرَحُ وَالتَّجَبُّرُ .
Mujahid said: The meaning of «مستمر» is "one who passes away," "one who becomes void." «مزدجر» means "one who rebukes excessively," "one who warns." «وازدجر» means "made insane (or rebuked)." «دسر» means "the planks, nails, or ropes of a ship." «لمن كان كفر» means "this punishment was from Allah as a recompense for the one whom they had shown ingratitude to, that is, Nuh." «كل شرب مختضر» means "each group would come to drink water at its turn." «مهطعين الى الداع» Sa'id bin Jubair, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "It means running in fear; in the Arabic language, running is called «لنسلان», «خبب», «سراع.»." Others said that «فتعاطى» means "he struck with his hand, he wounded him." The meaning of «كهشيم المحتظر» is "like a broken, burnt fence." «ازدجر» is the passive past tense from the form «افتعل»; its root is «زجرت»." «جزاء لمن كان كفر» means "the way We treated Nuh and his people was a recompense for what the disbelievers had done to Nuh and his believing companions." «مستقر» means "one who remains steadfast." «عذاب اشر» means "to be arrogant, to show pride."
