‘Then, he said, ‘ Or you should ascend into the sky [17:93] – i.e., go up into the sky, and we will never be believing in your ascending – of your going up, until you bring down a letter to us, we can read from it [17:93] – from Allah -azwj , the Mighty, the Wise to Abdullah Bin Abu Amayya Al-Makhzoumy and the ones with him, that they should be believing in Muhammad -saww Bin Abdullah -asws Bin Abdul Muttalib -asws , as he -saww is My -azwj Rasool -saww , and they should ratify him -saww in his -saww speech, for he -saww is from My -azwj Presence.
ثُمَّ لَا أَدْرِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ هَذَا كُلَّهُ- أُومِنُ بِكَ أَوْ لَا أُومِنُ بِكَ، بَلْ لَوْ رَفَعْتَنَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، وَ فَتَحْتَ أَبْوَابَهَا وَ أَدْخَلْتَنَاهَا لَقُلْنَا: إِنَّما سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصارُنا وَ سَحَرْتَنَا. ‘’Then, I (still) don’t know, O Muhammad -saww , when you have done all of this, whether I would believe in you -saww or not believe in you -saww .
But, if you -saww were to lift us up to the sky, and open its doors and enter us, for us to say But rather, our eyes have been intoxicated [15:15] ’. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ بَقِيَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ كَلَامِكَ قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَ وَ لَيْسَ فِيمَا أَوْرَدْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ كِفَايَةٌ وَ بَلَاغٌ مَا بَقِيَ شَيْءٌ فَقُلْ مَا بَدَا لَكَ وَ أَفْصِحْ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ- إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ حُجَّةٌ، وَ آتِنَا بِمَا سَأَلْنَاكَ. ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘O Abdullah!
Does there remain anything (else) from your speech?’ He said, ‘O Muhammad -saww ! Or isn’t it enough in what I have referred it upon you -saww , and far-reaching. There is nothing remaining, therefore say whatever comes to you -saww and explain from yourself -saww – if there was an argument for you, and come to us (answers) to what we have asked you -saww ’. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّامِعُ لِكُلِّ صَوْتٍ، وَ الْعَالِمُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ تَعْلَمُ مَا قَالَهُ عِبَادُكَ.
فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ قالُوا ما لِهذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعامَ- وَ يَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْواقِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ رَجُلًا مَسْحُوراً. ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘O Allah -azwj ! You -azwj are the Listener of every sound, and the Knower of everything. You -azwj Know what Your -azwj servants said’. So Allah -azwj Revealed unto him -saww : And they are saying, ‘What is the matter with this Rasool? He is eating the food, and walks in the markets.
If only a great Angel had been Sent down instead of him [25:7] – up to His -azwj Words: a man bewitched!’ [25:8] .
