237. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed and someone else, from some of them, who have narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws), and some of them from Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[2:243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life”. These were city folk from the cities of Syria, and there were seventy thousand households and plague used to occur among them every time. So whenever they sensed it, the rich ones would exit the city due to their (financial) strength and the poor would remain due to their (financial) weakness. So the death occurred mostly among those who would remain and less among those who went out. So those who left said, ‘Had we been of those who remained, death would frequent among us’. And those who remained said, ‘Had we been of those who went out, death would be less among us’. He (asws) said: ‘So they formed a consensus of their opinions that whenever they sense the plague occurring among them, all of them would go out from the city. So when they sensed the plague affecting them, all of them went out and took precaution against the death. So they travelled in the countryside for as long as Allah (azwj) so Desired. Then they passed by a city which was in ruins and its inhabitants had all left, being destroyed by the plague. So they encamped there, and settled their belongings being reassured by it. Allah (azwj) Said to them: “All of you die!” They all died at that instant and became decayed. The passers-by passed by and collected their ashes and gathered them in one place. So a Prophet (as) from the Prophets (as) of the Children of Israel passed by them, whose (as) name was Hizkeel (as). So when he (as) saw those bones, he (as) wept and reflected upon it and said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! If You (azwj) so Wish, You (azwj) can Revive them instantly, just as You (azwj) Caused them to die, so they would then inhabit Your (azwj) Country, and bear Your (azwj) servants who would worship You (azwj) along with those from Your (azwj) creatures who worship You (azwj)’. So Allah (azwj) the High Revealed unto him (as): “Is that what you (as) would like to happen?’ He (as) said: ‘Yes, O Lord (azwj)! Revive them”. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (as); “Say such and such”. So he (as) said that which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic had Commanded him (as) to say’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘And it was the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Aazam). So when Hizkeel (as) said that Word, he (as) saw the bones flying towards each other. So they came back alive. Some of them looked at the others Glorifying Allah (azwj) and Exclaiming His (azwj) Greatness and Extolling His (azwj) Holiness. So Hizkeel (as) said during that: ‘I (as) hereby testify that Allah (azwj) has Power over all things’. Umar Bin Yazeed (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding them’.
IsnādUn groupe de nos compagnons de Sahl ibn Ziyad, d'Ibn Mahboub, d'Umar ibn Yazid et d'autres, de certains d'entre eux d'Abu Abdillah (paix soit sur lui) et d'autres d'Abu Ja'far (paix soit sur lui), concernant la parole d'Allah, exalté soit-Il: "N'as-tu pas vu ceux qui sont sortis de leurs demeures, alors qu'ils étaient des milliers, par crainte de la mort? Allah leur dit: "Mourez!" Puis Il les fit revivre. Ils dirent: "Ceux-ci sont des habitants d'une ville parmi les villes de Sham, ils étaient soixante-dix mille mais la peste les touchait à chaque saison. Quand ils la sentaient, les riches sortaient de la ville en raison de leur force, laissant les pauvres derrière eux en raison de leur faiblesse. Ainsi, la mort frappait ceux qui restaient, tandis qu'elle était moins présente parmi ceux qui partaient." Ils disaient: "Si nous étions restés, la mort se serait multipliée parmi nous." Et ceux qui étaient restés disaient: "Si nous étions partis, la mort aurait été moins présente parmi nous." Leur avis se rejoignit alors: lorsqu'une épidémie les touchait et qu'ils la sentaient, ils sortaient tous de la ville. Quand ils sentaient l'épidémie, ils partaient tous, se préservant de la mort. Ils voyageaient dans les terres comme Allah le voulait. Ils passèrent par une ville dévastée, dont les habitants l'avaient abandonnée à cause de la peste qui les avait décimés. Ils s'y installèrent, mais une fois installés et rassurés, Allah leur dit: "Mourez tous!" Et ils moururent tous à l'instant, devenant des cadavres étendus. Alors qu'ils étaient sur le chemin, les animaux sauvages les dévorèrent. Ils furent rassemblés en un seul endroit. Un prophète parmi les prophètes d'Israël, appelé Hizqil, passa par là. Quand il vit ces ossements, il pleura et pria. Il dit: "Seigneur, si Tu le veux, Tu peux les ressusciter maintenant, comme Tu les as fait mourir. Ils auraient peuplé Tes terres, engendré Tes serviteurs et T'auraient adoré avec ceux qui T'adorent parmi Ta création." Allah le Très-Haut lui inspira: "Veux-tu cela?" Il répondit: "Oui, Seigneur." Alors Allah le Très-Haut lui inspira de dire ceci et cela. Abu Abdillah (paix soit sur lui), qui est le plus grand nom, dit: Quand Hizqil prononça ces paroles, il vit les ossements se rassembler, et ils revinrent à la vie, se regardant les uns les autres, glorifiant Allah, Le louant et L'exaltant. Hizqil dit à ce moment-là: "Je témoigne que Allah est tout-puissant." Umar ibn Yazid a dit: Abu Abdillah (paix soit sur lui) a dit: "Cette parole a été révélée à leur sujet."
