Ayat 12. Then We raised them up (from their sleep), that
We might test which of the two parties was best at calculating the time period
that they had tarried.
[Tafseer] Drew (a
veil) over their ears: i.e., sealed their ears so that they heard nothing. As they were in the Cave
they saw nothing. So they were ompletely cut off from the outer world. It was as
if they had died, with their knowledge and ideas remaining at the point of time
when they entered the Cave. It is as if watch stops at the exact moment of some
accident, and any one taking it up afterwards can precisely fix the time of the
accidents. Roused them: or raised them up from their sleep or
whatever condition they had fallen into, so that they began
to perceive the things around them, but only with the
memories of the time at which they had ceased to be in touch with the world.
Hazrat Abu Musa
Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The The Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH)said, "A person will be summoned with the one whom he loves".
[Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 73, Hadith #
191].
Another narration
is: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was asked; "What about a person who loves a
people but cannot be with them?'' (i.e., either he cannot attain their lofty
position of righteousness or that he has not met with them in this life). The
Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "A person will be in the company of
those whom he loves".
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Besides bringing to eminence the high merit of
entertaining the love for the pious persons, this Hadith tells us about the
Mercy and Blessings of Allah which He will shower upon those who love the pious
people. Because of this love, Allah will elevate even the inferior people and
include them among those whom He loves. This Hadith also serves a warning that
association and love with the impious people is extremely dangerous as one can
meet the same bad end which is inevitable for them. May Allah save us from
it.
