Chapter on the Names of the Prophet (ﷺ) and His Attributes (Sifat)

Zujajat al-Masabih 5573Volume 5

English

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (ﷺ). He fell ill, and the Prophet (ﷺ) visited him. He found him with his head raised, reading the Torah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: “O Jew! I adjure you by Allah, Who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you find in the Torah my description, attributes, and emergence 1?” He said: “No.” The boy said: “Yes, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we find in the Torah your description, attributes, and emergence, and I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions: “Remove this from beside his head and attend to your brother.”

[Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Dala’il An-Nubuwwah]

my attributes and emergence

(1) His statement: “my attributes and emergence”: The apparent meaning of “emergence” is the place or time of being sent, or it could refer to the migration and departure from Makkah to Madinah. His statement: “attend to your brother”: “attend” is a command in the plural masculine form of “wali” (to manage), meaning take care of his affairs, such as nursing, preparing, and shrouding. (As stated in Al-Lama’at)

قوله

(۱) قوله: وصفتي ومخرجي : الظاهر من المخرج المبعث مصدر ميمي أو ظرف مكان أو زمان، ويمكن أن يراد به الهجرة والخروج من مكة إلى المدينة. وقوله: ولوا أخاكم ولوا أمر بلفظ الجمع المذكر من ولي الأمر، أي تولوا أمره من التمريض والتجهيز والتكفين. كذا في المر للمعات.

(35) قوله: وصفتي ومخرجي. مخرج میں میم مصدری ہے اس سے آپ کی بعثت مراد ہے یا وہ ظرف زمان یا ظرف مکان ہے اور اس سے آپ کی ہجرت اور مکہ مکرمہ سے مدینہ منورہ کو تشریف لانا بھی مراد ہو سکتا ہے۔ قوله: ولوا اخاكم. لفظ لُوْا فعل امر، صیغہ مذکر ہے، اور یہ لفظ ولی الامر سے مشتق ہے، یعنی تم اس کی تیاری اور تجہیز و تکفین کا بندوبست کرو۔ (لمعات)۔
