[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 145-149

Ayat 145. Salih PBUH said to his nation "No reward do I ask of you for it (my Message of Islamic Monotheism), my reward is only from the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).

Ayat 146. "Will you be left secure in that which you have here?

Ayat 147. "In gardens and springs.

Ayat 148. And green crops (fields etc.) and date-palms with soft spadix.

Ayat 149. "And you carve houses out of mountains with great skill. 

Tafseer of Ayat 145 to 149. Salih PBUH told them "No reward do I ask of you for it the preching I do: my reward is only from the Allah the Lord of the Worlds. What you think will ye be left secure, in (the enjoyment of) all that ye have here?-the wealth of "Gardens and Springs, "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)? The date palm flowers on a long spathe: when the flowers develop into fruit, the heavy ones hang with the load of fruit. Thamud evidently were proud of their skill in producing corn and fruit and in hewing fine dwellings out of rocks, like the later dwellings of Roman times in the town of Petra. "And ye carve houses out of (rocky) mountains with great skill.

Hazrat Jarir bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "He who is deprived of forbearance, tenderly feelings and gentleness is, in fact, deprived of good.''

[Muslim Book 32, Hadith Number 6272]. 

 

Lesson : This Hadith brings out that Allah enjoins softness and dislikes stiffness in human relations. Allah assures of reward for gentle behaviour in society, not for unkindness or anything like that. However, inflexibility is preferred to flexibility when there arises a question of religious matters and the limits set by Allah.
