شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin from the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

وَلَكِنْ يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقَذَرِ وَالْأَذَى وَالرَّائِحَةِ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْجُثَثِ

Yet, some filth, harm, and odor linger on the earth after these corpses.

فَيُرْسِلُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَطَرًا عَظِيمًا يَغْسِلُ الْأَرْضَ، لَا يَكُنْ مِنْهُ بَيْتُ مَدَرٍ وَلَا وَبَرٍ، كُلُّ الْأَرْضِ تَمْتَلِئُ مَاءً حَتَّى تَكُونَ كَالزَّلَقَةِ تُنَظَّفُ تَنْظِيفًا تَامًّا، بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَيَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَ بَرَكَاتِهَا وَثَمَرَاتِهَا، فَيَكُونُ فِيهَا الثَّمَرَاتُ الْعَظِيمَةُ، وَالْخَيْرُ وَالْبَرَكَةُ، حَتَّى أَنَّ اللَّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ لَتَكْفِي فِئَامًا مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَاللَّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ تَكْفِي الْقَبِيلَةَ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَاللَّقْحَةَ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ تَكْفِي الْفَخِذَ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَهِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُنْزِلُ فِيهَا الْبَرَكَةَ فَتَكْفِي أُمَّةً، وَتَكْثُرُ الْخَيْرَاتُ وَالْبَرَكَاتُ، وَكُلُّ هَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى عَظَمَةِ وَقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا * إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا} [الشَّرْحُ: ٥ - ٦].

Allah the Almighty then sends a great rain to wash the earth, sparing no dwelling of clay or fur. The entire earth fills with water until it becomes like a smooth, clean surface, purified by the permission of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic. Allah commands the earth to yield its blessings and fruits, resulting in an abundance of produce, goodness, and grace. A single milch camel will suffice a large group, a single cow will sustain a tribe, and a single sheep will feed a clan. Though it is but one animal, Allah places such blessing in it that it suffices a nation. These bounties multiply, all pointing to the greatness and power of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic: 'For indeed, with hardship will be ease. Indeed, with hardship will be ease' [Ash-Sharh: 5-6].
