حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ خَمْسٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ، وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ، وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ، وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا، وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَىِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The keys of the Unseen are five: Verily with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour He sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.”

সালিম ইবনু ‘আবদুল্লাহ (রহঃ) তাঁর পিতা থেকে বর্ণনা করেছেন যে, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, অদৃশ্যের চাবি পাঁচটি- ‘‘নিশ্চয় আল্লাহরই কাছে রয়েছে ক্বিয়ামাত (কিয়ামত) সম্বন্ধীয় জ্ঞান এবং তিনিই বৃষ্টি বর্ষণ করেন, আর তিনিই জানেন যা কিছু আছে গর্ভাধারে। কেউ জানে না আগামীকল্য সে কী উপার্জন করবে এবং কেউ জানে না কোথায় তার মৃত্যু ঘটবে। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সবকিছু জানেন, সব খবর রাখেন’’- (সূরাহ লুকমান ৩১/৩৪)।[১০৩৯]

ہم سے عبدالعزیز بن عبداللہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابراہیم بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابن شہاب نے، ان سے سالم بن عبداللہ نے اور ان سے ان کے والد (عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما) نے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ غیب کے خزانے پانچ ہیں۔

جیسا کہ ارشاد باری ہے۔ بیشک اللہ ہی کو قیامت کی خبر ہے اور وہی جانتا ہے کہ رحموں میں کیا ہے اور کوئی بھی نہیں جان سکتا کہ وہ کل کیا عمل کرے گا اور نہ کوئی یہ جان سکتا ہے کہ وہ کس زمین پر مرے گا، بیشک اللہ ہی علم والا ہے، خبر رکھنے والا ہے۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul 'Aziz bin 'Abdullah] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibrahim bin Sa'ad] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Salim bin 'Abdullah] dari [Bapaknya] bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Kunci-kunci hal yang ghaib itu ada lima, tidak ada yang mengetahuinya kecuali Allah Ta'ala: Sesungguhnya hanya Allah lah yang mengetahui datangnya hari kiamat, dan Dia lah Dzat yang menurunkan hujan, yang mengetahui janin yang ada dalam kandungan, dan jiwa manusia tidak mengetahui apa yang akan dapat diperbuatnya esok hari, dan ia juga tidak tahu di bumi mana dia akan mati, Sesungguhnya Allah adalah Dzat yang Maha Mengetahui

Salim İbn Abdillah babasından Nebi'in sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem şöyle buyurduğunu rivayet etmiştir: "Gaybın anahtarları beştir. Kıyamet vakti hakkındaki bilgi ancak Allah'ın katındadır. Yağmuru O yağdırır, rahimlerde olanı O bilir. Hiç kimse yarın ne kazanacağını bilemez. Yine hiç kimse nerede öleceğini bilemez. Şüphesiz Allah, her şeyi bilendir, her şeyden haberdardır.

" (Lukman 34) Fethu'l-Bari Açıklaması: 2ıi;./Mefatih (anahtarlar) kelimesi, /miftah kelimesinin çoğulu olup ism-i alet veznindedir. Kendisi ile birşeyin açıldığı alet anlamına gelir. Vezin bakımından /mincel (tırpan) ve .....menacil'e benzer. Bu vezinde, ism-i alet olarak kullanılan çok az kelime vardır. Daha çok bu kelime ......miftah şeklinde kullanılır.

Çoğulu da ......mefatih şeklinde gelir. Şaz kıraatte bu lafız ...... şeklinde okunmuştur. İbnu's-Sumeyfi' bu ayeti &ıi;......ve indehO mefatihu şeklinde okumuştur. ....Mefatih kelimesinin ism-i mekan olarak ...meftah kelimesinin çoğulu oıauğu da ileri sürülmüştür. İmam Taberi'nin SücIai'den naklettiği açıklama da bunu desteklemektedir.

Nitekim o, ......ve indehu mefatihu ayetini, "Gaybın hazineleri O'nun katındadır," şeklinde te(sir etmiştir. İmam Taberi, İbn Mes'ud'un şöyle dediğini nakletmiştir: "Sizin Nebiinize gaybın anahtarları hariç her şey verilmiştir." ......Miftah (anahtar) kelimesi, kilit gibi somut olarak kapalı olan nesneleri açan alet için kullanıldığı gibi, soyut olarak kapalılıkları açanlar için de kullanılır.

Nitekim bir hadisi şerifte 9öyle geçmektedir: ......İnsanların bir kısmı hayrın anahtarıdır. ıbn Hıbban, Enes'ten gelen bu hadisin sahih olduğunu belirtmiştir. İmam Buhari, bu başlık altında İbn Ömer'den nakledilen "Gaybın anahtarları beştir ...

" hadisini muhtasar olarak zikretti. Bu rivayet i Lukman suresinin tefsirinde genişçe verecektir. Biz de bunun ayrıntılı açıklamasını orada yapacağız

What it means

The unseen belongs to Allah alone; none knows it except Him. The Prophet (ﷺ) informed us that the keys and treasures of the unseen are five: First: None knows when the Hour will occur except Allah—this refers to the knowledge of the Hereafter, for the Day of Judgment is its beginning. And if the knowledge of its beginning is unknown, then all that follows it is even more hidden.

Second: None knows when rain will come except Allah—this refers to matters of the higher world. Rain is mentioned specifically, even though there are apparent causes that may indicate its coming by custom and observation, yet these causes do not provide certainty or exact knowledge. Third: What is in the wombs—whether male or female, black or white, complete or defective, wretched or blessed, and the like.

The womb was mentioned specifically because people often make assumptions about it based on customary signs, yet Allah denied that anyone truly knows its reality; and if this is the case for what is most observable, then what is beyond it is even more hidden and unknowable. Fourth: No one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah—this refers to the events that occur within time and its unfolding happenings.

The word “tomorrow” is mentioned specifically because it is the nearest of future times; so if no one truly knows what will occur in such a near time—despite possible signs or indications—then knowledge of what lies further ahead is even more beyond reach. Fifth: No soul knows in what land it will die—this refers to matters of the lower world.

Although people generally die in their homelands, this is not always the case. Even if one dies in their own land, they do not know the exact spot where they will be buried, even if there is a graveyard of their ancestors. {Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware}—He encompasses all things, outward and inward, the hidden and the unseen, the secrets and the mysteries.

Thus, this verse includes all types of the unseen and refutes every false claim to the knowledge of it.

What it teaches

  • A clarification of the five treasures of the unseen, which none knows except Allah.
  • As-Sindi said: His statement (the keys of the unseen are five)— these five are called the keys of the unseen because whoever possesses knowledge of these five, possesses knowledge of all the unseen. Thus, they are like the means by which the treasures of the unseen are unlocked.
  • Ibn Hajar said: Ibn Abi Jamrah said: The term "keys" was used to make the meaning easier for the listener to grasp. Everything that is veiled from you is considered unseen to you, and access to what is behind a veil or barrier is usually through a door. When the door is locked, one needs a key to open it. So, if a person cannot even know where the key to what is hidden is kept, then how could he possibly know the unseen itself?
  • Ibn Abi Jamrah said: The wisdom behind making them five is to indicate that all realms of existence are encompassed within them.
  • Allah Almighty may reveal some aspects of the unseen to His messengers, out of His divine wisdom.
  • The false claims of astrologers and soothsayers regarding their knowledge of the unseen are invalidated, for whoever claims to know anything of the unseen that Allah Almighty alone possesses has indeed belied Allah Almighty, His Messenger (ﷺ), and the Noble Qur’an.
