(Ayah 56) ➊ { لَايَذُوْقُوْنَفِيْهَاالْمَوْتَاِلَّاالْمَوْتَةَالْاُوْلٰى:} It is narrated from Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ يُؤْتٰیبِالْمَوْتِكَهَيْئَةِكَبْشٍأَمْلَحَفَيُنَادِيْمُنَادٍيَاأَهْلَالْجَنَّةِ! فَيَشْرَئِبُّوْنََوَيَنْظُرُوْنَفَيَقُوْلُهَلْتَعْرِفُوْنَهٰذَا ؟ فَيَقُوْلُوْنَنَعَمْ،هٰذَاالْمَوْتُوَكُلُّهُمْقَدْرَاٰهُ،ثُمَّيُنَادِيْيَاأَهْلَالنَّارِ ! فَيَشْرَئِبُّوْنَوَيَنْظُرُوْنَفَيَقُوْلُهَلْتَعْرِفُوْنَهٰذَا ؟ فَيَقُوْلُوْنَنَعَمْ،هٰذَاالْمَوْتُوَكُلُّهُمْقَدْرَاٰهُ،فَيُذْبَحُثُمَّيَقُوْلُيَاأَهْلَالْجَنَّةِ ! خُلُوْدٌفَلَامَوْتَوَيَاأَهْلَالنَّارِ! خُلُوْدٌفَلاَمَوْتَ،ثُمَّقَرَأَ : « وَاَنْذِرْهُمْيَوْمَالْحَسْرَةِاِذْقُضِيَالْاَمْرُوَهُمْفِيْغَفْلَةٍ»وَهٰؤُلَاءفِيْغَفْلَةٍأَهْلُالدُّنْيَا« وَهُمْلَايُؤْمِنُوْنَ » ][ بخاري، التفسیر، باب قولہ عز وجل: « و أنذرھم یوم الحسرۃ» : ۴۷۳۰ ] "Death will be brought in the form of a speckled ram, then a caller will call out: 'O people of Paradise!' So they will raise their heads and look. He will say: 'Do you recognize this?' They will say: 'Yes! This is death.' And all of them will have seen it. Then he will call out: 'O people of the Fire!' So they will raise their heads and look, he will say: 'Do you recognize this?' They will say: 'Yes! This is death.' And all of them will have seen it, then it will be slaughtered. Then he will say: 'O people of Paradise! (Now) eternity, no death, and O people of the Fire! (Now) eternity, no death.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: «وَاَنْذِرْهُمْيَوْمَالْحَسْرَةِاِذْقُضِيَالْاَمْرُوَهُمْفِيْغَفْلَةٍ »[ مریم : ۳۹ ] 'And warn them of the Day of Regret when the matter will be decided, and they are in heedlessness.' That is, they are in complete heedlessness of the world and they do not believe." See also Surah Maryam (39).
➋ { وَوَقٰىهُمْعَذَابَالْجَحِيْمِ:} Here is a question: The one who has entered Paradise, his being saved from Hell is self-evident, so what is the need to say that He will save them from the blazing Fire? The answer is that the true value of Paradise is fully realized when, it is also considered what would have been my condition if I had been in Hell.
