(And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example…) [43:57]. Isma‘il ibn Ibrahim al-Nasrabadhi informedus> Isma‘il ibn Nujayd> Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Khalil> Hisham ibn ‘Ammar> al-Walid ibn Muslim>Shayban ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman> ‘Asim ibn Abi al-Nujud> Abu Razin> Abu Yahya, the client of Ibn ‘Afra’> Ibn‘Abbas who said: “The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to the Quraysh: ‘O Quraysh, thereis no good in anyone who is worshipped beside Allah’. They said to him: ‘Do you not claim that Jesus was aProphet and a righteous slave? If what you claim is true, he is like a deity to them’. As a response, Allah,exalted is He, revealed this verse (And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example)”. We have alreadymentioned this story and the debate of Ibn al-Zib‘ara with the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and givehim peace, upon dealing with the occasion of revelation of Allah’s saying (Lo! Ye (idolaters) and that whichye worship beside Allah are fuel of hell…) [21:98].
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلاً إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ - وَقَالُواْ ءَأَالِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلاَّ جَدَلاَ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ - إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَـهُ مَثَلاً لِّبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ - وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُمْ مَّلَـئِكَةً فِى الاٌّرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ - وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلاَ تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُونِ هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ - وَلاَ يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَـنُ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ - وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَى بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَلأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ الَّذِى تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ - إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ - فَاخْتَلَفَ الاٌّحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ
(57. And when the son of Maryam is quoted as an example, behold, your people cry aloud thereat.)
(58. And say: "Are our gods better or is he'' They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people.)
(59. He was not more than a servant. We granted Our favor to him, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.)
(60. And if it were Our will, We would have made angels to replace you on the earth.)
(61. And he shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour. Therefore have no doubt concerning it. And follow Me! This is the straight path.)
(62. And let not Shaytan hinder you. Verily, he (Shaytan) to you is a plain enemy.)
(63. And when
Isa came with clear proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah, and in order to make clear to you some of that in which you differ. Therefore have Taqwa of Allah and obey me.'')
(64. "Verily, Allah! He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is the straight path.'')
(65. But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong from the torment of a painful Day!)
Allah tells us how the Quraysh persisted in their disbelief and stubborn arguments:
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلاً إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
(And when the son of Maryam is quoted as an example, behold, your people cry aloud thereat.) Several others narrated that Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, As-Suddi and Ad-Dahhak said, "They laughed, i.e., they were astounded by that.'' Qatadah said, "They were repelled by that and they laughed.'' Ibrahim An-Nakha`i said, "They turned away.'' The reason for this was mentioned by Muhammad bin Ishaq in As-Sirah. He said, "According to what I have heard, the Messenger of Allah sat down one day with Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah in the Masjid, and An-Nadr bin Al-Harith came and sat down with them. There were also other men from the Quraysh in the gathering. The Messenger of Allah spoke, then An-Nadr bin Al-Harith came up to him and the Messenger of Allah spoke to him until he defeated him in argument. Then he recited to him and to them,
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُونَ
(Certainly you and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely) you will enter it.) (21:98) Then the Messenger of Allah got up and went to sit with `Abdullah bin Al-Zab`ari At-Tamimi. Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah said to him, `By Allah, An-Nadr bin Al-Harith could not match the son of `Abd Al-Muttalib in argument. Muhammad claims that we and these gods that we worship are fuel for Hell.' `Abdullah bin Az-Zab`ari said, `By Allah, if I meet with him I will defeat him in argument. Ask Muhammad whether everyone that is worshipped instead of Allah will be in Hell with those who worshipped him, for we worship the angels, and the Jews worship `Uzayr, and the Christians worship the Messiah `Isa bin Maryam.' Al-Walid and those who were sitting with him were amazed at what `Abdullah bin Az-Zab`ari said, and they thought that he had come up with a good point. He said this to the Messenger of Allah , who said:
«كُلُّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ فَهُوَ مَعَ مَنْ عَبَدَهُ، فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا يَعْبُدُونَ الشَّيْطَانَ وَمَنْ أَمَرَهُمْ بِعِبَادَتِه»
(Everyone who likes to worship something other than Allah will be with the one whom he worshipped, for indeed they are worshipping the Shaytan and whomever told them to worship that person.)'' Then Allah revealed the words:
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِّنَّا الْحُسْنَى أُوْلَـئِكَ عَنْهَا مُبْعَدُونَ
(Verily, those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they will be removed far therefrom (Hell)) (21:101), meaning that `Isa, `Uzayr and rabbis and monks who were also worshipped, who spent their lives in devotion towards Allah. The misguided people who came after them took them as lords instead of Allah. Concerning the notion of worshipping the angels as daughters of Allah, the following words were revealed:
وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ وَلَداً سُبْحَانَهُ بَلْ عِبَادٌ مُّكْرَمُونَ
(And they say: "The Most Gracious has begotten a son (or children).'' Glory to Him! They are but honored servants.) (21:26) Concerning `Isa bin Maryam, the fact that he is worshipped instead of Allah, and to the amazement of Al-Walid and the others who were present at the argument, the following was revealed:
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلاً إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
(And when the son of Maryam is quoted as an example, behold, your people cry aloud thereat.) meaning, they take this argument as a basis for rejecting your message. Then Allah mentions `Isa bin Maryam and says:
إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَـهُ مَثَلاً لِّبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ - وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُمْ مَّلَـئِكَةً فِى الاٌّرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ
(He was not more than a servant. We granted Our favor to him, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel. And if it were Our will, We would have made angels to replace you on the earth. And he (`Isa) shall be a known sign for the Hour. ) meaning, the miracles and signs that happened at his hands, such as raising the dead and healing the sick, are sufficient as signs of the approach of the Hour.
فَلاَ تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَاتَّبِعُونِ هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
(Therefore have no doubt concerning it. And follow Me! This is the straight path).'' Ibn Jarir mentioned that Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, commented on the Ayah:
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلاً إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
(And when the son of Maryam is quoted as an example, behold, your people cry aloud thereat.) "This means the Quraysh, when it was said to them:
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ أَنتُمْ لَهَا وَارِدُونَ
(Certainly you and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell! (Surely) you will enter it.) (21:98) The Quraysh said to him: `What about `Isa bin Maryam' He said:
«ذَاكَ عَبْدُاللهِ وَرَسُولُه»
(He is the servant and Messenger of Allah.) They said, `By Allah, he means that we should take him as a lord just as the Christians took `Isa son of Maryam as a lord.' Then Allah said:
مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلاَّ جَدَلاَ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ
(They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people).''
وَقَالُواْ ءَأَالِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ
(And say: "Are our gods better or is he''). Qatadah said, "They were saying, `our gods are better than him'.'' Qatadah said; "Ibn Mas`ud, may Allah be pleased with him, recited it (أَآلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هذَا) (Are our gods better or is this (person))'' they mean Muhammad .
مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلاَّ جَدَلاَ
(They quoted not the above example except for argument.) means, for the sake of stubborn argument, for they knew that he (`Isa ) was not included in the Ayah (21:98), because that would not make sense. The words,
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ
(Certainly you and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) fuel for Hell!) (21:98) are addressed to the Quraysh, for they used to worship idols and false gods -- they did not worship the Messiah so why should he be included in what the Ayah says What they said was only for the sake of argument; they did not really believe in it. Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, recorded that Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "The Messenger of Allah said:
«مَا ضَلَّ قَوْمٌ بَعْدَ هُدًى كَانُوا عَلَيْهِ، إِلَّا أُوْرِثُوا الْجَدَل»
g(No people go astray after having been guided, but they resort to (futile) argument.) Then the Messenger of Allah recited this Ayah:
مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلاَّ جَدَلاَ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ
(They quoted not the above example except for argument. Nay! But they are a quarrelsome people).'' It was also recorded by At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Ibn Jarir. At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is Hasan Sahih, we do not know it except from the Hadith of Hajjaj bin Dinar...''
إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ
(He (`Isa) was not more than a servant. We granted Our favor to him,) means, `Isa, peace be upon him; he was no more than one of the servants of Allah whom Allah blessed with prophethood and messengership.
وَجَعَلْنَـهُ مَثَلاً لِّبَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ
(and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.) means, `a sign, proof and evidence of Our power to do whatever We will.'
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُمْ مَّلَـئِكَةً فِى الاٌّرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ
(And if it were Our will, We would have made angels to replace you on the earth.) As-Suddi said, "They would have taken your place on (the earth). '' Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, and Qatadah said, "They would have succeeded one another just as you succeed one another.'' This view is implied by the former veiw. Mujahid said, "They would have populated the earth instead of you.'' Allah's saying:
وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ
(And he (`Isa) shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour.) The correct view concerning this phrase is that it refers to his descent before the Day of Resurrection, as Allah says:
وَإِن مِّنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ إِلاَّ لَيُؤْمِنَنَّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ
(And there is none of the People of the Scripture but must believe in him before his death) (4:159). -- meaning before the death of `Isa, peace be upon him --
وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيداً
And on the Day of Resurrection, he will be a witness against them )4:159(. This meaning has the support from an alternate recitation of the Aya0t؛ (وَإِنَّهُ لَعَلَمٌ لِلسَّاعَةِ) (And he shall be a known sign for (the coming of) the Hour.) means, evidence that the Hour will surely come. Mujahid said:
وَإِنَّهُ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ
(And he shall be a sign for (the coming of) the Hour.) means, sign and "One of the signs of the Hour will be the appearance of `Isa son of Maryam before the Day of Resurrection. '' Something similar was also narrated from Abu Hurayrah, Ibn `Abbas, `Abu Al-`Aliyah, Abu Malik, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and others. Many Mutawatir Hadiths report that the Messenger of Allah said that `Isa will descend before the Day of Resurrection as a just ruler and fair judge.
فَلاَ تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا
(Therefore have no doubt concerning it.) means, do not doubt that it will surely come to pass.
(And follow Me.) means, `in what I tell you about it.'
هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌوَلاَ يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَـنُ
(This is the straight path. And let not Shaytan hinder you.) means, from following the truth.
إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌوَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَى بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِالْحِكْمَةِ
(Verily, he (Satan) to you is a plain enemy. And when `Isa came with (Our) clear proofs, he said: "I have come to you with Al-Hikmah...''), meaning prophethood:
وَلأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ الَّذِى تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ
(and in order to make clear to you some of the (points) in which you differ.) Ibn Jarir said, "This means religious matters, not worldly matters.'' What he said is good.
فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ
(Therefore have Taqwa of Allah) means, `with regard to what I command you to do.'
(and obey me.) means, `in what I bring to you.'
إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُوهُ هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
(Verily, Allah! He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is the straight path.) means, `you and I are enslaved to Him, in need of Him and we commonly share in the worship of Him Alone, associating none with Him.'
هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
(This is the straight path) means, `what I have brought to you is the straight path, which is the worship of the Lord, may He exalted, Alone.'
فَاخْتَلَفَ الاٌّحْزَابُ مِن بَيْنِهِمْ
(But the sects from among themselves differed. ) means, they differed and became parties and factions, some who stated that he (`Isa) was the servant and Messenger of Allah -- which is true - while others claimed that he was the son of Allah or that he himself was Allah -- glorified be Allah far above what they say. Allah says:
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ
(So woe to those who do wrong from the torment of a painful Day)!

Imam Ahmad meriwayatkan dengan sanadnya yang sampai kepada Maula bin âAqil ia berkata: Ibnu Abbas berkata, âSungguh aku mengetahui sebuah ayat dalam Al Qurâan yang belum pernah ditanyakan oleh seorang pun. Aku tidak mengetahui, apakah orang-orang sudah mengetahuinya sehingga tidak lagi bertanya atau mereka tidak mengerti sehingga (perlu) bertanya?â Lalu ia (Ibnu Abbas) mulai berbicara dengan kami. Ketika ia (Ibnu Abbas) bangun (dan pergi), maka kami saling cela-mencela karena tidak bertanya kepadanya, maka aku berkata, âSaya siap untuk bertanya, jika ia datang besok. Ketika ia datang, aku berkata, âWahai Ibnu Abbas, kemarin engkau menyebutkan tentang sebuah ayat yang belum ditanyakan oleh seorang pun; engkau tidak mengetahui apakah orang-orang sudah mengetahuinya sehingga tidak lagi bertanya atau mereka tidak mengerti? Lalu aku melanjutkan kata-kataku, âBeritahukanlah kepadaku tentang ayat itu dan tentang beberapa ayat yang telah engkau bacakan.â Ia (Ibnu Abbas) menjawab, âYa.â Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam pernah berkata kepada orang-orang Quraisy, âWahai kaum Quraisy! Sesungguhnya tidak ada satu pun yang disembah selain Allah ada kebaikannya.â Orang-orang Quraisy mengetahui, bahwa orang-orang Nasrani menyembah Isa putra Maryam dan mengetahui apa yang dikatakan Muhammad shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, lalu mereka berkata, âWahai Muhammad! Bukankah engkau menyangka bahwa Isa seorang nabi dan salah satu hamba di antara hamba-hamba Allah yang saleh. Jika engkau benar, maka sesungguhnya sembahan-sembahan mereka sama seperti yang engkau katakan.â Maka Allah menurunkan ayat, âDan ketika putra Maryam (Isa) dijadikan perumpamaan, tiba-tiba kaummu (suku Quraisy) bersorak karenanya.â Aku bertanya, âApa maksud bersorak?â Ia (Ibnu Abbas) menjawab, âBerteriak dengan gaduh.â (Apa maksud), âDan sungguh, dia (Isa) benar-benar menjadi pertanda akan datangnya hari Kiamat.â (Az Zukhruf: 61) Ibnu Abbas menjawab, âYaitu keluarnya Isa putra Maryam âalaihis salam sebelum hari Kiamat.â (Hadits ini diriwayatkan pula oleh Thahawi dalam Musykilul Aatsar juz 1 hal. 431. Hadits ini menurut Haitsami dalam Majmaâuz Zawaaâid juz 7 hal. 104, diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad dan Thabrani yang sama seperti itu (hanyasaja di sana disebutkan lafaznya, âFa in kunta shaadiqan fa innahaa li aalihatihimâ) dan di dalam sanadnya terdapat âAshim bin Bahdalah yang ditsiqahkan oleh Ahmad dan yang lain, ia buruk hapalannya, sedangkan para perawi selebihnya adalah para perawi hadits shahih. As Suyuthiy dalam Lubaabun Nuqul berkata, âSesungguhnya sanadnya shahih,â Syaikh Muqbill mengatakan, bahwa yang ditetapkan oleh Adz Dzahabi dalam Al Mizan adalah bahwa hadits âAshim itu hasan.â).
