Ayat 85.
And (remember) Ismail PBUH (Ishmael), and Idris PBUH(Enoch) and Dhul-Kifl
PBUH(Isaiah), all were from among As-Sâbirin (the patient ones,
etc.).
Ayat 86. And We admitted them to
Our Mercy. Verily, they were of the righteous.
[Tafseer]
Ismail is mentioned specially, apart
from the line which descended through Isaac, as he was the founder of a separate
and greater Ummah. His steady constancy and submission to the will of Allah were
specially shown when he earned the title of "Sacrifice to Allah". That was the
particular quality of his constancy and patience. For Idris PBUH was
in a high station in life, but that did not spoil him. He was sincere and true,
and that was the particular quality of his constancy and patience. Dhu al
Kifl would literally mean "possessor of, or giving, a double requital or
portion"; or else, "one who used a cloak of double thickness," that being one of
the meanings of Kifl. The Commentators differ in opinion as to who is meant, why
the title is applied to him, and the point of his being grouped with Ismail PBUH
and Idris PBUH for constancy and patience. The best suggestion is that
afforded, as quoted in the Encyclopaedia of Islam under "Dhu al Kifl".
He visited Meshed Ah in Iraq , and also the little town called Kefil, midway
between Najaf and Hillah ( Babylon ). Kefil, he says, is the Arabic form of
Ezekiel. The shrine of Ezekiel was there, and the Jews came to it on a
pilgrimage. If we accept "Dhu al Kifl" to be not an epithet, but an Arabicised
form of "Ezekiel", it fits the context. Ezekiel was a prophet in Israel who was
carried away to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar after his second attack on Jerusalem
(about B.C.
599).
Hazrat Ibn Abbas
(May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah
[SAWW](PBUH) said to Ashaj Abdul-Qais (May Allah be pleased with him), "You
possess two qualities that Allah loves. These are clemency and tolerance.''
[Muslim Book 01,Chapter 07, Hadith #
024]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya Ayat 85."all were from among
As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.)" This Hadith teaches us to adopt a patient, mild and
discreet attitude towards others. Moreover, there is a provision for praising
somebody in his presence, provided there is no likelihood of his being
conceited. The Hadith also provides inspiration for the cultivation of good
habits.
