أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِى الضُّحَى عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جُلُوسًا وَهُوَ مُضْطَجِعٌ بَيْنَنَا فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنَّ قَاصًّا عِنْدَ أَبْوَابِ كِنْدَةَ يَقُصُّ وَيَزْعُمُ أَنَّ آيَةَ الدُّخَانِ تَجِىءُ فَتَأْخُذُ بِأَنْفَاسِ الْكُفَّارِ وَيَأْخُذُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْهُ كَهَيْئَةِ الزُّكَامِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَجَلَسَ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَنْ عَلِمَ مِنْكُمْ شَيْئًا فَلْيَقُلْ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْلَمُ لأَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- (قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ) إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَمَّا رَأَى مِنَ النَّاسِ إِدْبَارًا فَقَالَ « اللَّهُمَّ سَبْعٌ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُفَ ». قَالَ فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ سَنَةٌ حَصَّتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّى أَكَلُوا الْجُلُودَ وَالْمَيْتَةَ مِنَ الْجُوعِ وَيَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَحَدُهُمْ فَيَرَى كَهَيْئَةِ الدُّخَانِ فَأَتَاهُ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ جِئْتَ تَأْمُرُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَبِصِلَةِ الرَّحِمِ وَإِنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ هَلَكُوا فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَهُمْ - قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ يَغْشَى النَّاسَ هَذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ) إِلَى قَوْلِهِ (إِنَّكُمْ عَائِدُونَ ). قَالَ أَفَيُكْشَفُ عَذَابُ الآخِرَةِ (يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ الْبَطْشَةَ الْكُبْرَى إِنَّا مُنْتَقِمُونَ) فَالْبَطْشَةُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَقَدْ مَضَتْ آيَةُ الدُّخَانِ وَالْبَطْشَةُ وَاللِّزَامُ وَآيَةُ الرُّومِ.

It was narrated that Masruq said: "We were sitting with 'Abdullah and he was lying down among us, when a man came to him and said: 'O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, there is a storyteller by the gates of Kindah who is telling stories. He claims that the sign of Ad-Dukhan (the smoke) is about to appear, and it will take the souls of the disbelievers, and it will afflict the believers with something like a cold.' '"Abdullah sat up angrily and said: 'O people, fear Allah! Whoever among you knows something, let him say what he knows, and whoever does not know, let him say: "Allah knows best," for it is more knowledgeable for one of you to say, when he does not know, "Allah knows best." Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said to His Prophet (s.a.w): "Say: No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifin (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist)." When the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saw the people ignoring him, he said: "O Allah, seven like the seven (years of famine) of Yusuf." Then they were afflicted with a famine which forced them to eat anything, even animal skins and dead meat, because of hunger. One of them would look at the sky and see something like smoke. Then Abu Sufyan came to him and said: "O Muhammad, you have come enjoining us to obey Allah and uphold ties of kinship. Your people are dying; pray to Allah for them." Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: "Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke. Covering the people, this is a painful torment." up to His saying: "Verily, you will revert (to disbelief)" "He said: 'Can the punishment of the Hereafter be averted? "On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution." The "greatest seizure" was the Day of Badr, so the sign of the smoke has come to pass, as have the greatest seizure, Al-Lizam (the inevitable punishment) and the Verses of Ar-Rum."
