[51] Surah Adh-Dhariyat [The Winds that Scatter]: Ayat 046

৪৬. আমি ইতিপূর্বে নূহের সম্প্রদায়কে ধ্বংস করেছি।  নিশ্চিতই তারা ছিল পাপাচারী সম্প্রদায়।

Ayat 46. (So were) the people of Nuh (Noah) before them. Verily, they were a people who were Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).

Tafseer of Surah Adh-Dhariyat Ayat 46. So were the People of the nation of Prophet Noah PBUH before them for they wickedly transgressed. The generation of Noah PBUH was swept away in the Flood for their sins: 7:59 -64. The point is that such a flood seemed so unlikely to them that they thought Noah was "wandering in his mind" when he delivered Allah's Message: 7:60. 

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of 'Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) also narrated: The Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) used to eat odd number of dates. [Al-Bukhari Volume 2, Book 15, Number 73].

Lesson : We learn from this Hadith "The wisdom behind eating before the Eid prayers (Salah) is so that no person doubts that fasting remains until after the Salah. So it is as if The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) wanted to stop this from occurring.”
