Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The night and day will not pass until Al-Lat and Al-Uzza are worshipped.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, I thought when Allah revealed: It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religion, even if the polytheists dislike it [At-Tawbah: 33], that this was complete.” He said: “There will be of that what Allah wills. Allah will send a pleasant breeze that will take the soul of everyone with even a mustard seed’s weight of faith in their heart, leaving only those with no good in them, who will revert to the religion of their forefathers.”

(1) Her statement: “I thought”: The word “in” is the lightened form of the heavy “inna,” with the lam as the distinguishing marker. Al-Mudhhir said: Its meaning is: The matter is that I thought. Her statement “that this” with the accusative hamza is the object of “I thought,” and “when Allah revealed” is its temporal clause, meaning I thought at the time of the revelation of that verse that the ruling it implies would be complete, effective, and encompassing for all times. In a sound version, it is “complete” in the nominative case, meaning that the worship of idols has ended and will never return. His statement “There will be of that” refers to some of what was mentioned about the completion of the religion and the diminution of disbelief. His statement “no good in them” means no Islam, no faith, no Qur’an, no pilgrimage, no other pillars, no scholars, or eminent figures. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)
