Hadith 5334

(1) His statement: “Read, etc.”: Al-Tayyibi said: If you ask how the verse supports the hadith, as the hadith refers to the weight of the body and its size, given his statement “great, fat man,” while the verse refers either to the weight of deeds, as in His statement: “So their deeds became worthless” [Al-Kahf: 105], or their worth, meaning they are despised and have no weight or value with Us. I say: The hadith aligns with the second interpretation metaphorically, and mentioning the body and size does not negate intending their worth and prominence, as in His statement: “And when you see them, their forms please you, and if they speak, you listen to their speech. [They are] as if they were propped-up pieces of wood” [Al-Munafiqun: 4]. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله : اقرؤوا إلخ : قال الطيبي الله فإن قلت: كيف وجه صحة الاستشهاد بالآية، فإن المراد بالوزن في الحديث وزن الجثة ومقداره؛ لقوله: «العظيم السمين»، وفي الآية إما وزن الأعمال؛ لقوله تعالى: ﴿فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ} (الكهف: (۱۰٥) وإما مقدارهم، والمعنى نزدري بهم، ولا يكون لهم عندنا وزن ومقدار. قلت: الحديث من الوجه الثاني على سبيل الكفاية، وذكر الجثة والعظم لا ينافي إرادة مقداره وتفخيمه، قال تعالى: ﴿وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَدَةٌ (المنافقون: ٤). كذا في «المرقاة».
