حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي تَرَكْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلًا يُفَسِّرُ الْقُرْآنَ بِرَأْيِهِ، يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ إِلَى آخِرِهَا: يَغْشَاهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ دُخَانٌ، يَأْخُذُ بِأَنْفَاسِهِمْ حَتَّى يُصِيبَهُمْ مِنْهُ كَهَيْئَةِ الزُّكَامِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: مَنْ عَلِمَ عِلْمًا فَلْيَقُلْ بِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلْيَقُلِ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ؛ فَإِنَّ مِنْ فِقْهِ الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ، إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا لِأَنَّ قُرَيْشًا لَمَّا اسْتَعْصَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِسِنِينَ كَسِنِي يُوسُفَ، فَأَصَابَهُمْ قَحْطٌ، وَجَهْدٌ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْعِظَامَ، وَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَيَنْظُرُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ كَهَيْئَةِ الدُّخَانِ مِنَ الْجَهْدِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ يَغْشَى النَّاسَ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، اسْتَسْقِ اللهَ لِمُضَرَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ هَلَكُوا؟ قَالَ: فَدَعَا لَهُمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِنَّا كَاشِفُو الْعَذَابِ فَلَمَّا أَصَابَهُمُ الْمَرَّةَ الثَّانِيَةَ عَادُوا، فَنَزَلَتْ: يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ.

✧ A man came to Abdullah and said: “I left in the mosque a man interpreting the Quran by his own opinion. He said about this verse: ‘On the day when the sky will bring a clear smoke, covering the people; this is a painful punishment,’ that a smoke will envelop them on the Day of Resurrection, seizing their breaths until they are affected by it like a cold.” Abdullah said: “Whoever knows some knowledge should state it, and whoever does not know should say: ‘God knows best.’ For it is part of a man's understanding to say about what he does not know: ‘God knows best.’ This was only because when Quraysh stubbornly opposed the Prophet ﷺ, he supplicated against them with years like the years of Joseph, and famine and hardship struck them until they ate bones. A man would look at the sky and see between him and the sky something like smoke because of the hardship. Then God, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: ‘So await the day when the sky will bring a clear smoke, covering the people; this is a painful punishment.’ Then the Messenger of God ﷺ was approached and it was said: ‘O Messenger of God, ask God for rain for Mudar, for they have been destroyed.’ So he supplicated for them, and God, Mighty and Majestic, sent down: ‘Indeed, We will remove the punishment; indeed, you will return [to disbelief].’ When the second time came, they reverted, so it was sent down: ‘On the day We seize with the greatest seizure; indeed, We will take retribution’—the day of Badr.”
