وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَاعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَهُمْ يُجَادِلُونَ فِي اللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ
And the thunder exalts [Allah] with praise of Him - and the angels [as well] from fear of Him - and He sends thunderbolts and strikes therewith whom He wills while they dispute about Allah; and He is severe in assault.

(He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will…) [13:13]. Nasr ibn Abi Nasr al-Wa'izinformed us> Abu Sa'id 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Nusayr> Muhammad ibn Ayyub al-Razi> 'Abd al-Wahhab> 'Ali ibn Abi Sarah al-Shaybani> Thabit> Anas ibn Malik who reported that once the Messenger ofAllah, Allah bless him and give him peace, sent a man to one of the Arab tyrants, saying: “Go and tell him tocome and see me”. He said: “O Messenger of Allah, he is too haughty to comply”. He said: “Go and tell himto come and see me”. The man went and said to him: “The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give himpeace, asks you to come and see him”. The man retorted: “What is Allah? Is He made of gold, silver orcopper?” The man went back and informed the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,saying: “I told you that he is too haughty to comply”. He said: “Go to him a second time and ask him tocome and see me”. He went and the man repeated exactly what he said in the previous occasion. TheProphet, Allah bless him and give him peace, asked the man to go and call him a third time, and the manrepeated what he said in the two previous occasions. The man said: “As he was talking to me, Allah sentabove his head a cloud which thundered and a bolt of lightning struck him and removed his skull”. Allah,exalted is He, then revealed (He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will while theydispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath). According to the reports of Abu Salih, IbnJurayj and Ibn Zayd, Ibn 'Abbas said: “This verse and the verse before it were revealed about 'Amir ibn al-Tufayl and Arbad ibn Rabi'ah. These two men went to see the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and givehim peace, and, as they were coming, one of the prophetic Companions said: 'O Messenger of Allah, here is'Amir ibn al-Tufayl coming toward you'. He said: 'Leave him, Allah will guide him if He wants good for him'.He proceeded along until he stood in front of the Prophet and said: 'O Muhammad, what do I get if Ibecome Muslim?' He said: 'You get what the Muslims get and you suffer what they suffer'. He said: 'In thatcase put me in charge after you die'. He said: 'No, that is not up to me; that is up to Allah, exalted is He,and He appoints whoever He wills'. He said: 'In that case, put me in charge of the Arab nomads and you willbe in charge of the settlers'. The Prophet said: 'No!' He said: 'What are you going to give me, then?' He said:'I will give you the reins of horses to use in military conquest'. He said: 'Do I not have them already?' Thisman had told Arbad ibn Rabi'ah, that once he started talking to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give himpeace, he should go behind the Prophet and strike him with his sword. Arbad pulled out his sword about aspan but Allah, exalted is He, jammed it and he could not pull it out completely. When 'Amir startedgesturing to Arbad, The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, turned back and saw Arbadhandling his sword. He prayed: 'O Allah, deal with them for me as You will'. Allah, exalted is He, sent onArbad a thunderbolt, on a sunny day, and burned him. 'Amir ran away, saying: 'O Muhammad, you calledyour Lord and He killed Arbad. By Allah, I will fill the land against you with unsaddled horses and unbeardedyouths'. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: 'Allah, exalted is He, will stop youfrom doing that, as will the Aws and the Khazraj'. 'Amir then spent the night in the house of a woman fromBanu Salul. In the morning, he collected his weapons and left saying: 'By the Lat and al-'Uzza, wouldMuhammad and his companion (meaning the angel of death) show themselves to me, I will stab them withmy spear'. When Allah, exalted is He, saw how he behaved, He sent him an angel who hit him with his wingand thrust him on the dust. A huge gland, resembling a camel's gland, straightaway appeared on each of hisknees. He returned to the house of the woman from Banu Salul, saying: 'A gland like a camel's gland, anddying in the house of the woman from Banu Salul', and he died on the back of his horse. Allah, exalted isHe, revealed about him this (Alike of you is he who hideth the saying and he who noiseth it abroad) [13:10]up to His saying (The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray) [13:14]”.
هُوَ الَّذِى يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَيُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ - وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَالْمَلْـئِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمْ يُجَـدِلُونَ فِى اللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ
(12. It is He Who shows you the lightning, as a fear and as a hope. And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy (with water).)
(13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His awe. He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.)
Allah states that He has full power over Al-Barq (lightning), which is the bright light that originates from within clouds. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn `Abbas once wrote to Abu Al-Jald asking about the meaning of Al-Barq, and he said that it is water. Qatadah commented on Allah's statement,
خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا
(as a fear and as a hope.) "Fear for travelers, for they feel afraid of its harm and hardship, and hope for residents, awaiting its blessing and benefit and anticipating Allah's provisions.'' Allah said next,
وَيُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ الثِّقَالَ
(And it is He Who brings up the clouds, heavy.) meaning, He originates the clouds that are heavy and close to the ground because of being laden with rain. Mujahid said that this part of the Ayah is about clouds that are heavy with rain. Allah's statement,
وَيُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ
(And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him), is similar to His other statement,
وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ
(And there is not a thing but glorifies His praise.) 17:44 Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibrahim bin Sa`d said, "My father told me that he was sitting next to Hamid bin `Abdur Rahman in the Masjid. A man from the tribe of Ghifar passed and Hamid sent someone to him to please come to them. When he came, Hamid said to me, `My nephew! Make space for him between me and you, for he had accompanied Allah's Messenger .' When that man came, he sat between me and Hamid and Hamid said to him, `What was the Hadith that you narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah ' He said, `A man from Ghifar said that he heard the Prophet say, i
«إِنَّ اللهَ يُنْشِىءُ السَّحَابَ فَيَنْطِقُ أَحْسَنَ النُّطْقِ، وَيَضْحَكُ أَحْسَنَ الضَّحِك»
(Verily, Allah originates the clouds, and they speak in the most beautiful voice and laugh in the most beautiful manner.) It appears, and Allah has the best knowledge, that the cloud's voice is in reference to thunder and its laughter is the lightning. Musa bin `Ubaydah narrated that Sa`d bin Ibrahim said, "Allah sends the rain and indeed, none has a better smile than it, nor more comforting voice. Its smile is lightning and its voice is thunder.''
Imam Ahmad recorded that Salim bin `Abdullah narrated that his father said that the Messenger of Allah used to say upon hearing the thunder and thunderbolts,
«اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ، وَعَافِنَا قَبْل ذَلِك»
(O Allah! Do not kill us with Your anger, nor destroy us with Your torment, and save us before that.'' This Hadith was recorded by At-Tirmidhi, Al-Bukhari in his book Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, An-Nasa'i in `Amal Al-Yawm wal-Laylah, and Al-Hakim in Al-Mustadrak. When `Abdullah bin Az-Zubayr used to hear thunder, he would stop talking and would supplicate, "All praise is to He Whom Ar-Ra`d (thunder) glorifies and praises, and so do the angels because of His awe.'' He would then say, "This is a stern warning to the people of earth.'' Malik collected this Hadith in Al-Muwatta', and Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
«قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: لَوْ أَنَّ عَبِيدِي أَطَاعُونِي لَأَسْقَيْتُهُمُ الْمَطَرَ بِاللَّيْلِ، وَأَطْلَعْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّمْسَ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَلَمَا أَسْمَعْتُهُمْ صَوْتَ الرَّعْد»
(Your Lord, the Exalted and Most High, said, `Had My servants obeyed Me, I would have given them rain by night and the sun by day, and would not have made them hear the sound of the Ra`d (thunder).') Allah's statement,
وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ
(He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills,) indicates that He sends thunderbolts as punishment upon whom He wills, and this is why thunderbolts increase as time comes to an end. Al-Hafiz Abu Al-Qasim At-Tabarani narrated that Ibn `Abbas said that Arbad bin Qays bin Juzu' bin Julayd bin Ja`far bin Kulab, and `Amir bin At-Tufayl bin Malik came to Al-Madinah to the Messenger of Allah and sat where he was sitting. `Amir bin At-Tufayl said, "O Muhammad! What will you give me if I embrace Islam'' The Messenger of Allah said,
«لَكَ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَلَيْكَ مَا عَلَيْهِم»
(You will have the rights and duties of all Muslims.) `Amir bin At-Tufayl said, "Will you make me your successor if I embrace Islam'' The Messenger of Allah said,
«لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ وَلَا لِقَوْمِكَ، وَلَكِنْ لَكَ أَعِنَّةَ الْخَيْل»
(That is not your right, nor your people's right. However, I could appoint you a commander of the horsemen (i.e., war).) `Amir said, "I am already the commander of the horsemen of Najd (in the north of Arabia). Give me control over the desert and you keep the cities.'' The Messenger of Allah refused. When these two men were leaving the Messenger of Allah , `Amir said, "By Allah! I will fill it (Al-Madinah) with horses and men (hostile to Muslims).'' The Messenger of Allah replied,
«يَمْنَعُكَ الله»
(Rather, Allah will prevent you. ) When `Amir and Arbad left, `Amir said, "O Arbad! I will keep Muhammad busy while talking to him, so you can strike him with the sword. Verily, if you kill Muhammad, the people (Muslims) will agree to take blood money and will hate to wage war over his murder. Then we will give them the blood money.'' Arbad said, "I will do that,'' and they went back to the Messenger . `Amir said, "O Muhammad! Stand next to me so that I can talk to you.'' The Messenger stood up, and they both stood next to a wall talking to each other. Arbad wanted to grab his sword, but his hand froze when it touched the sword's handle and he could not take the sword out of its sheath. Arbad did not strike the Messenger as `Amir suggested, and the Messenger of Allah looked at Arbad and realized what he was doing, so he departed. When Arbad and `Amir left the Messenger of Allah and arrived at Al-Harrah of Waqim area, they dismounted from their horses. However, Sa`d bin Mu`adh and Usayd bin Hudayr came out saying, "Come, O enemies of Allah! May Allah curse you.'' `Amir asked, "Who is this with you, O Sa`d'' Sa`d said, "This is Usayd bin Hudayr.'' They fled until they reached the Riqm area, where Allah struck Arbad with a bolt of lightning and he met his demise. As for `Amir, he went on until he reached the Kharim area, where Allah sent an open ulcer that struck him. During that night, `Amir took refuge in a woman's house, from Banu Salul. `Amir kept touching his open ulcer and saying, "An ulcer as big as a camel's hump, while I am at the house of a woman from Bani Salul, seeking to bring my death in her house!'' He rode his horse, but he died while riding it headed to his area. Allah sent down these Ayat (13:8-11) in their case,
اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَى
(Allah knows what every female bears) until,
وَمَا لَهُمْ مِّن دُونِهِ مِن وَالٍ
(..and they will find besides Him no protector.) Ibn `Abbas commented, "The angels in succession, guard Muhammad, peace be upon him, by the command of Allah.'' He next mentioned the demise of Arbad by Allah's command, reciting this Ayah,
وَيُرْسِلُ الصَّوَعِقَ
(He sends the thunderbolts,)'' Allah said next,
وَهُمْ يُجَـدِلُونَ فِى اللَّهِ
(yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allah.) they doubt Allah's greatness and that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him,
وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ
(And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.) Allah's torment is severe against those who rebel against Him, defy Him and persist in disbelief, according to the Tafsir of Ibn Jarir At-Tabari. There is a similar Ayah in the Qur'an,
وَمَكَرُواْ مَكْراً وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْراً وَهُمْ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ - فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَـهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
(So they plotted a plot, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not. Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily, We destroyed them and their nation all together.)27:50-51 `Ali bin Abi Talib said that,
وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ
(And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment (Al-Mihal)), means, His punishment is severe.
