[26].Surah Ash-Shuara [The Poets]:Ayat 116 - 122

১১৮. তারা বলল, হে নূহ যদি তুমি বিরত না হও, তবে তুমি নিশ্চিতই প্রস্তরাঘাতে নিহত হবে। 
১১৭. নূহ বললেন, হে আমার পালনকর্তা, আমার সম্প্রদায় তো আমাকে মিথ্যাবাদী বলছে।
১১৮. অতএব, আমার ও তাদের মধ্যে কোন ফয়সালা করে দিন এবং আমাকে ও আমার সংগী মুমিনগণকে রক্ষা করুন। 
১১৯. অতঃপর আমি তাঁকে ও তাঁর সঙ্গিগণকে বোঝাই করা নৌকায় রক্ষা করলাম।
১২০. এরপর অবশিষ্ট সবাইকে নিমজ্জত করলাম।
১২১. নিশ্চয় এতে নিদর্শন আছে এবং তাদের অধিকাংশই বিশ্বাসী নয়।
১২২. নিশ্চয় আপনার পালনকর্তা প্রবল পরাক্রমশালী, পরম দয়ালু।      

Ayat 116. They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah)! You will surely be among those stoned (to death)."

Ayat 117. He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me.

Ayat 118. Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me."

Ayat 119. And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

Ayat 120. Then We drowned the rest (disbelievers) thereafter.

Ayat 121. Verily, in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.

Ayat 122. And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. 

Tafseer of Ayat 116 to 122. They said: "If thou desist not, O Noah! thou shalt be stoned (to death)."Two other cases occur to me where prophets of Allah were threatened with death by stoning: one was Abraham (19:46), and the other was 'Shu'ayb (11:91). In neither case did the threats deter them from carrying out their mission. On the contrary, the threats recoiled on those who threatened. So also did it happen in the case of Noah and the Prophet. He said: "O my Lord! truly my people have rejected me. "Judge Thou, then, between me and them openly, and deliver me and those of the Believers who are with me." So We delivered him and those with him, in the Ark filled (with all creatures). The story of Noah's Flood is told in 11:36-48. Here, the point emphasised in Noah's patience and constancy against threats, and the triumph and preservation of Allah's truth even though the world was ranged against it. Thereafter We drowned those who remained behind. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. This and the following verse run like a refrain throughout this Surah, and give the keynote to the subject matter: how the Message of Allah is preached, how it is rejected in all ages, and how it triumphs at last, through the Mercy of Allah. And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

Hazrat Ibn Umer (May Allah be pleased with him) said: we counted The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH), saying a hundred times during one single sitting: Rabb-ighfir li, wa tubb `alayya, innaka Antat-Tawwabur-Rahim. (My Rubb! Forgive me and pardon me. Indeed, You are the Oft-Returning with compassion and Ever Merciful.''

[Abu Dawud Hadith # 1516 and At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3434]. 

 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 122. And verily! Your Lord, He is indeed the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. This Hadith tells us about the etiquette of praying to Allah. We should use the Names of Allah befitting our prayers, i.e., the Names of Allah signifying those Attributes of Allah which have a special concern with the subject of our particular prayer, i.e., while seeking forgiveness, His Names concerning His Attributes of forgiveness and kindness should be used. On the other hand, while praying for worldly matters, we should mention His Qualities of charity and bestowing gifts etc.
