Sorah At-Tariq ( The Night-Comer ) - Verses Number 17

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ( 1 )

By the sky and the night comer -

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ( 2 )

And what can make you know what is the night comer?

النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ ( 3 )

It is the piercing star -

إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ ( 4 )

There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.

فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ ( 5 )

So let man observe from what he was created.

خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ ( 6 )

He was created from a fluid, ejected,

يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ ( 7 )

Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.

إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ ( 8 )

Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.

يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ ( 9 )

The Day when secrets will be put on trial,

فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ ( 10 )

Then man will have no power or any helper.

وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ ( 11 )

By the sky which returns [rain]

وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ ( 12 )

And [by] the earth which cracks open,

إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ ( 13 )

Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,

وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ ( 14 )

And it is not amusement.

إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا ( 15 )

Indeed, they are planning a plan,

وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا ( 16 )

But I am planning a plan.

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا ( 17 )

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

Rules Governing The Criticism Of HadithAn summarised text detailing the rules governing the Criticism of Hadeeth. From its introduction -'A hadith (pl. ahadith) is composed of two parts: the matn (text) and the isnad (chain of reporters). A text may seem to be logical and reasonable but it needs an authentic isnad with reliable reporters to be acceptable; 'Abdullah b. al-Mubarak (d. 181 AH) is reported to have said, "The isnad is part of the religion: had it not been for the isnad, whoever wished to would have said whatever he liked." During the lifetime of the Prophet (SAS) and after his death, his Companions (Sahabah) used to refer to him when quoting his sayings. The Successors (Tabi'un) followed suit; some of them used to quote the Prophet (SAS) through the Companions while others would omit the intermediate authority - such a hadith was known as mursal (loose). It was found that the missing link between the Successor and the Prophet (SAS) might be one person, i.e. a Companion, or two persons, the extra person being an older Successor who heard the hadith from the Companion.'
