[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]: Ayat 167-169



১৬৭. তারা বলল, হে লূত, তুমি যদি বিরত না হও, তবে অবশ্যই তোমাকে বহিস্কৃত করা হবে। 
১৬৮. লূত বললেন, আমি তোমাদের এই কাজকে ঘৃণা করি
১৬৯. হে আমার পালনকর্তা, আমাকে এবং আমার পরিবারবর্গকে তারা যা করে, তা থেকে রক্ষা কর  
Ayat 167. They the people of Lot nation said: "If you cease not. O Lout (Lot)! Verily, you will be one of those who are driven out!"
Ayat 168. He said: "I am, indeed, of those who disapprove with severe anger and fury your (this evil) action (of sodomy).
Ayat 169. "My Lord! Save me and my family from what they do."
 
Tafseer of Ayat 167 to 169. They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!" Their threat to cast him out has a grim significance in what actually happened. They were destroyed where they were, and he was glad to escape the dreadful Punishment according to the warning he had received. He said: "I do detest your doings." He was only among them from a stern sense of duty. The whole atmosphere there was detestable to him, and he was glad to escape when duty no longer demanded his presence there. He prayed for deliverance from such surroundings. "O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!"

Hazrat Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) was asked about observing As-Saum (the fast) on the tenth day of Muharram, and he replied, "It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year.''
[Muslim Book 06,Chapter 33, Hadith # 2603] 
 
Lesson : Ashura' 10th of Muharram. In another Hadith, it is stated that when the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) emigrated from Makkah to Al-Madinah, he saw that the Jews were fasting on this day. He asked them why they did this on that day, and they told him that they did it for the reason that Allah granted Prophet Musa emancipation from Pharaoh on this day, and so they observed Saum in token of their joy. On this, he (PBUH) said that in this happiness of Prophet Musa, Muslims have a greater right to observe Saum than the Jews. Consequently, he also observed Saum on 10th of Muharram. Then, he said that if he lived the following year, he would observe Saum on 9th of Muharram also so that they would make themselves different from the Jews. According to another Hadith, he (PBUH) ordained the Muslims to observe Saum on `Ashura' and in addition one more Saum on 9th or 11th of Muharram in opposition to the Jews. Some people think these words stand to mean that `he will observe Saum on the 9th of Muharram only. But this interpretation does not agree with other Ahadith. In order to oppose the Jews, he [SAWW](PBUH) resolved to observe one more Saum with that of 10th of Muharram and ordained it for the Muslims. In this connection, we have quoted above the authority from Masnad Ahmad. Hence, the meanings we have given in the translation of the text are correct.
