Ayat
21. And Verily! In the cattle there is
indeed a lesson for you. We give you to drink (milk) of that which is in their
bellies. And there are, in them, numerous (other) benefits for you, and of them
you eat.
Ayat
22. And on them, and on ships you are
carried.
[Tafseer] 21. And in cattle
(too) ye have an instructive example: from within their bodies We produce (milk)
for you to drink; there are, in them, (besides), numerous (other) benefits for
you; and of their (meat) ye eat; 'Ibrah: the root meaning of the verb is "to
interpret, to expound, or instruct', as in 12:43; the noun means an
interpretation, or example or Sign that instructs, as here and in 16:66, or
gives a warning, as in 3:13. From cattle we get milk and meat; also from their
skins we make leather for shoes, boots, straps, saddlery, and numerous other
uses; from camel's hair and sheep's wool we weave cloth,
hangings, carpets, etc.: from the horns of cattle we make cups and articles of
ornament or use; and camels, horses, donkeys, mules, etc., are used for riding,
carrying loads, or drawing vehicles (Cf.
36:71-73).After that, at length ye will die Our
physical death in this mortal life seems to make a break.
Hazrat Ibn `Umar (May Allah
be pleased with them) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would recite:
"Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest),'' thrice. Then he
[SAWW](PBUH) would supplicate: "Subhanal-ladhi sakh-khara lana hadha, wa ma
kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila Rabbina lamunqalibun. Allahumma inna nas'aluka
fi safarina hadh al-birra wat-taqwa, wa minal-`amali ma tarda. Allahumma hawwin
`alaina safarana hadha, watwi `anna bu`dahu. Allahumma Antas-Sahibu fissafari,
wal-Khalifatu fil-ahli. Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min wa`ta'is-safari, wa
kaabatil-manzari, wa su'il-munqalabi fil-mali wal-ahli wal-waladi (Far removed from
imperfection is the One Who has made this subservient to us, for we have no
power to subjugate it, and certainly to our Rubb shall we return. O Allah, we
ask You during this journey of ours for righteousness, piety and such deeds as
are pleasing to You. O Allah, make easy for us this journey of ours and make the
distance short for us. O Allah, You are our Companion during the journey and the
Guardian of the family and the property in our absence. O Allah, I seek refuge
in You from the hardships of travelling, unhappiness connected with ghastly
scenes and evil turns in property and family).'' When he returned, he recited
this supplication making addition of these words: "Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, `abiduna,
li-Rabbina hamidun (We are those who return; those who repent; those who worship
and those who praise our Rubb).''
[Muslim, Book # 07, Chapter 73, Hadith #
3113]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 21."there are, in them,
numerous (other) benefits" This is
a very comprehensive prayer. Man is not safe from dangers during a journey and
in his absence, safety of his household may worry him, too. In this prayer,
Allah is entreated to ensure the safety of the two in most effective words. And
none can harm that person who comes under the Watch and Protection of Allah.
This prayer should be recited upon starting on a journey as well as returning
from it.
