৪০. তারা
তো সেই জনপদের উপর দিয়েই যাতায়াত করে,
যার ওপর বর্ষিত হয়েছে মন্দ বৃষ্টি। তবে কি তারা তা প্রত্যক্ষ করে না?
বরং তারা পুনরুজ্জীবনের আশঙ্কা করে না।
Ayat 40. And indeed they have passed by the town [of Prophet
Lout PBUH (Lot) cities of Sadum, Amura, and Gomorrah] on which was rained the
evil rain. Did they (disbelievers) not then see it (with their own eyes)? Nay !
But they used not to expect for any resurrection.
[Tafseer] of Ayat 40.
And
the (Unbelievers) must indeed have passed by the town on which was rained a
shower of evil: did they not then see it (with their own eyes)? But they fear
not the Resurrection. This
refers to Lot's story and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah , the wicked
cities of the plain near the Dead Sea , by a shower of brimstone. The site lies
on the highway between Arabia and
Syria.
Hazrat Ibn Umer (May
Allah be pleased with him) reported: when Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH), and his Companions reached Al-Hijr, the dwellings of the Thamud
people, he admonished his Companions (saying), "Do not pass by these people who
are being tormented, without weeping, lest the punishment should befall you as
it had befallen them.'' [Al-Bukhari Book 04, Chapter
55, Hadith #
564].
Another narration
is: Hazrat Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: When the Messenger
of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) passed near Al-Hijr, he said, "Do not enter without
weeping, the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, lest the same
chastisement should fall upon you as it had fallen upon them.'' Messenger of
Allah [SAWW](PBUH) then covered his head and sped up until he crossed the valley
of the tormented
people.
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 40."indeed they have
passed by the town [of Prophet Lout (Lot) Sadum, Amura, and Gomorrah] on which
was rained the evil rain" The Thamud were the
people to whose guidance Allah sent Prophet Salih PBUH. They lived between
Al-Madinah and Syria. In 10 A.H. when the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) went to the
Syrian border for the Tabuk expedition, he also passed through this ruined
territory. This Hadith is related to the address which he gave to his Companions
on the occasion. Here is an instruction that when we happen to pass through the
territory of a nation destroyed in the past as a result of Divine wrath, we are
advised to quicken one's pace. That is why we have been commanded to avoid the company of the corrupt and the wrongdoers, lest we meet their bad
end, too. As the Qur'an says: "And incline not toward those
who do wrong, lest the Fire should touch you.'' (11:113) May
Allah save us from it!.
