[4] VERSES 1 – 5 إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا {1}...

They found the two of them to have gone out terrified, to Ali -asws . So the people followed the two of them until they ended up at the door of Ali -asws . فخرج إليهم علي (عليه السلام) غير مكترث لما هم فيه، فمضى فاتبعه الناس حتى انتهى إلى تلعة، فقعد عليها و قعدوا حوله و هم ينظرون إلى حيطان المدينة ترتج جائية و ذاهبة Ali -asws came out to them, completely indifferent to what they were in. Then he -asws went and they followed him -asws until they ended up at a raised ground.

He -asws sat down upon it, and they all seated themselves around him -asws , and they were looking around at the wall of the city which, were trembling, coming and going. فقال لهم علي (عليه السلام) كأنكم قد هالكم ما ترون؟ قالوا: و كيف لا يهولنا و لم نر مثلها قط! Ali -asws said to them: ‘It is as if you are all shocked at what you are seeing’.

They said, ‘And how can we not be terrified and we have never seen the like of it at all!’ فحرك شفتيه ثم ضرب الأرض بيده، ثم قال: مالك؟ اسكني، فسكنت، فعجبوا من ذلك أكثر من تعجبهم أولا حيث خرج إليهم He -asws moved his lips, then placed his -asws hand upon the ground and said: ‘What is the matter with you? Calm down!’ So it calmed down. They were all more astounded at that, than what they were when they first went out to him -asws .
