\n Ali Bin Ibrahim...

\n Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Sadeyr who said, \n \u2018A man asked Abu Abdullah -asws about the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic [34:19] So they said: O our Lord! make spaces to be longer between our journeys; and they were unjust to themselves \u2013 the Verse.

So he -asws said: \u2018He -asws said: \u2018They were a (group of) people who lived in two inter-connected villages and were able to see each other, and had rivers which flowed, and had phenomenal wealth. They denied the Favours of Allah -azwj and changed what was in themselves, so Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Sent the flood of Al-Aram against them. Their two villages were submerged, and their houses were spoilt, and their wealth was gone.

It changed their plantations into two plantations to be only with the edible plants of bitter tamarisk (a troublesome weed) and a few Lotus trees. Then Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: [34:17] That was our Recompense due to what they disbelieved in; and do We Punish any but the ungrateful?
