was not the actual Smoke that will occur when the signs constituting the portents of the Hour appear.

Al-Qurtubī said: “Mujāhid (1) said: Ibn Masūd used to say, ‘There are two occurrences of smoke. One has already passed, while the one that remains will fill everything between heaven and earth. The believer will experience it only as a cold, whereas it will pierce the unbeliever’s ears.’” (2)

Ibn Jarīr said: “Furthermore, there is nothing objectionable in His having inflicted upon the unbelievers whom He threatened with this warning the very thing He threatened them with, and in His later inflicting a smoke upon others, in keeping with the reports that have likewise reached us from the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Reports from the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—have corroborated one another that this will indeed occur. What Abdullah ibn Masūd narrated from him has already occurred; thus, both reports narrated from the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—are authentic.” (3)

B. Evidence from the Purified Sunnah:

(1) He was the imam and hadith master Mujāhid ibn Jabr al-Makkī, Abu al-Hajjāj. He studied closely with Ibn Abbās for many years and learned Quranic exegesis from him. The Muslim community unanimously recognized his authority and accepted him as a reliable source. Among his sayings is: “A true jurist is one who fears Allah, even if his knowledge is limited; and an ignorant person is one who disobeys Allah, even if his knowledge is extensive.” He died in 102 or 103 AH. May Allah have mercy on him. See his biography in *Tadhkirat al-Huffāz* (1/92–93), *al-Bidāya wa-al-Nihāya* (9/224–229), and *Tahdhīb al-Tahdhīb* (10/42–44). (2) *Al-Tadhkira* (p. 655).

غير الدُّخان الحقيقي، الّذي يكون عند ظهور الآيات الّتي هي من أشراط السّاعة قال القرطبي: "قال مجاهدٌ (١): كان ابن مسعود يقول: هما دخانان قد مضى أحدهما، والذي بقي يملأ ما بين السَّماء والأرض، ولا يجد المؤمّن منه إِلَّا كالزكمة، وأمّا الكافر؛ فتثقب مسامعه" (٢). وقال ابن جرير: "وبعد؛ فإنّه غير منكر أن يكون أحلَّ بالكفار الذين توعَّدهم بهذا الوعيد ما توعَّدَهم، ويكون مُحِلًّا فيما يُستأنف بعد بآخرين دخانًا على ما جاءت به الأخبار عن رسول الله ﷺ عندنا كذلك؛ لأنّ الأخبار عن رسول الله ﷺ قد تظاهرت بأن ذلك كائن، فإنّه قد كان ما روى عنه عبد الله بن مسعود، فكلا الخبرين اللذين رُوِيا عن رسول الله ﷺ صحيح" (٣). ب - الأدلَّة من السنة المطهَّرة:

(١) هو الإِمام الحافظ مجاهد بن جبر المكي أبو الحجاج، لازم ابن عبّاس كثيرًا، وأخذ عنه التفسير، وأجمعت الأمة على إمامته والاحتجاج به. ومن أقواله: "الفقيه من يخاف الله وإن قل علمه، والجاهل من عصى الله وإن كثر علمه". توفي سنة اثنين أو ثلاث ومئة من الهجرة ﵀. انظر ترجمته في: "تذكرة الحفاظ" (١/ ٩٢ - ٩٣)، و "البداية والنهاية" (٩/ ٢٢٤ - ٢٢٩)، و"تهذيب التهذيب" (١٠/ ٤٢ - ٤٤).
