So one who so desires can take a way to his Lord [73:19] ثم قال علي بن إبراهيم: و في رواية أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، في قوله تعالى: فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْماً يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدانَ شِيباً يقول: كيف إن كفرتم تتقون ذلك اليوم الذي يجعل الولدان شيبا؟ Then Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, who has said: ‘From Abu Ja’far -asws regarding the Words of the Exalted: So how will you guard yourselves if you deny a Day which would make children grey-haired?
[73:17] : He -azwj is Saying: “How can you deny the fear of that Day which will make children to be grey-haired?’ [31] فِي نَهْجِ الْبَلَاغَةِ احْذَرُوا يَوْماً تُفَحَّصُ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ وَ يَكْثُرُ فِيهِ الزِّلْزَالُ وَ تَشِيبُ فِيهِ الْأَطْفَالُ In Nahj Al-Balagah: – (Amir Al-Momineen -asws said): ‘Be warned of a Day in which the deeds would be inspected, and the earthquakes would be frequent, and the children would become grey-haired!’ [32] فِي كِتَابِ التَّوْحِيدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حَدِيثٌ طَوِيلٌ وَ فِيهِ: فَيَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَاراً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْفَلَقُ أَشَدَّ شَيْءٍ فِي جَهَنَّمَ عَذَاباً، فَتَخْرُجُ مِنْ مَكَانِهَا سَوْدَاءَ مُظْلِمَةً بِالسَّلَاسِلِ وَ الْأَغْلَالِ In the book Al Tawheed – ‘By his chain up to Abdullah Bin Salam, a slave of Rasool-Allah -azwj , there is a lengthy Hadeeth, and in it (he -saww is saying): ‘So Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would Command a fire called Al-Falaq, being the most intense thing in Hell as a Punishment.
So, it would come out from its place, dark black, with the chains and the shackles. فَيَأْمُرُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ تَنْفُخَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْخَلَائِقِ نَفْخَةً فَتَنْفُخُ، فَمِنْ شِدَّةِ نَفْخَتِهَا تَنْقَطِعُ السَّمَاءُ وَ تَنْطَمِسُ النُّجُومُ، وَ تَجْمُدُ الْبِحَارُ، وَ تَزُولُ الْجِبَالُ، وَ تُظْلِمُ الْأَبْصَارُ، وَ تَضَعُ الْحَوَامِلُ حَمْلَهَا، وَ تَشِيبُ الْوِلْدَانُ مِنْ هَوْلِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ The Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic would Command it to blow into the faces of the creatures with a blowing, and it would blow.
So, from its blowing, the sky would be rent asunder and the stars would be obscured, and the oceans would solidify, and the mountains would be moved, and the visions would be darkened, and the pregnant women would place their burdens, and the children would become grey-haired from its horrors, on the Day of Judgment’’.
