وَلَقَدۡ کَذَّبَ اَصۡحٰبُ الۡحِجۡرِ الۡمُرۡسَلِیۡنَ
希季尔 (حِجْر Hijr,) 位于泰布克 (تَبُوْك, Tabuk,)与麦地那之间。这儿住着洒姆德部族。撒利作为警告者被派往该部族。该城市大部分是由石头建成。城市被一道石墙和许多堡垒围住, 故得此名。
حِجْر سے مراد وہ احاطہ یا قلعہ یا شہر ہوتا ہے جس کے گرد پتھروں کی دیوار ہو۔ اَصْحَابُ الْحِِجْر سے مراد ثمود یعنی قوم صالح علیہ السلام کا شہر ہے۔ اسے حجر اس لئے کہتے ہیں کہ مضبوط فصیلوں کا شہر تھا۔
Hijr lay between Tabuk and Medina. Here lived the tribe of Thamud to whom Salih was sent as a Warner. The city appears to have been largely built of stones and was surrounded by a stone wall and ramparts. Hence this name.
Important Words:
اصحاب الحجر (People of the Hijr). حجر is derived from حجر (hajara) which means, he prevented or hindered or interdicted. See also 2:75. حجر (Hijr) means, forbidden, unlawful, inviolable or sacred; garden or walled garden of palm-trees prohibited to the public; a fortress; a wall of stones built round a house; the place round which such a wall is made; relationship that prohibits marriage; understanding or intelligence, because it forbids that which it does not behove one to do; bosom or breast; figuratively also protection. The word also means, the country or land of Thamud (Lane, Aqrab & Mufradat).
Commentary:
Hijr lay between Tabuk and Medina. Here lived the people of Thamud to whom Salih was sent as a Warner. The city of this tribe appears to have been largely built of stones. It was surrounded by a stone wall and ramparts. Hence this name.
It is worthy of note that though only one Prophet, Salih appears to have been sent to these people, in the verse under comment they are condemned as having rejected the Messengers of God. The same expression has been used in 26:106, 124, 142, 161 & 177 where the tribes mentioned are said to have rejected all Prophets, while as a matter of fact each one of these different tribes rejected only a particular Prophet who was sent to them. This shows that in the sight of God the rejection of one Prophet means the rejection of all because, first, the basic teachings of all Divine Messengers are the same and so the rejection of one Prophet implies the rejection of all others, and, secondly, the rejection of a Prophet implies rejection of God, Who is the Sender of all Prophets. This is why Jesus warned the Jews that by rejecting him they were rejecting Moses; for if they had really believed in Moses, they should not have hesitated to accept him (John 5:46). This is true of all Prophets and Messengers of God. He who rejects the Prophet of his own day shows by his act of rejection, that if he had lived in the time of any other Prophet, he would have rejected him also. Hence it is that the rejection of one Prophet, according to the Quran, is tantamount to the rejection of all Prophets and the acceptance of one is tantamount to the acceptance of all of them. See also 2:137, 286; 3:85 & 4:153.
The next few verses of the present Surah and some opening verses of the following Surah embody mighty prophecies and deal with subjects of very great import.

An Arab would use the words Hijran Mahjuran when he is faced with a thing he does not like, meaning 'let it remain away from me so that I should not suffer from it' (Lane & Mufradat).

فُرَاتٌ کے معنے بھی میٹھے کے ہیں اور عَذْبٌ کے معنے بھی میٹھے کے۔ اس لئے ہم نے ترجمہ ’’بہت میٹھا ہے‘‘ کے الفاظ سے کیا ہے۔
قرآن کریم کے لفظ تو ھٰذَا کے ہیں جس کا ترجمہ ’’یہ‘‘ اور ’’وہ‘‘ ہے۔ مگر اردو میں ’’ایک اور دوسرا کے الفاظ‘‘ٹھیک رہتے ہیں۔ پس چونکہ اس سے معنوں میں فرق نہیں پڑتا ہم نے ’’ایک دوسرے کے لفظ کو اختیار کیا ہے۔

35:13; 55:20, 21.
Taking 'two waters' in the verse to represent the true religion and the false, the verse signifies that both Islam, the true religion, and other corrupted Faiths will continue to exist side by side, the former yielding sweet fruit and slaking the thirst of the spiritual wayfarers and the latter barren and bitter, incapable of producing any good result. The 'two waters' may also signify the water of the sea and that of the river. The former is saltish and bitter to taste while the latter is drinkable and sweet. When the sweet water of the river flows into the sea and becomes mixed with its saltish water, it also becomes bitter. As long as these two waters keep themselves separate, they have different tastes. Similarly, when the teaching of a true religion becomes mixed up with the teachings of false religions, it loses its sweetness and usefulness. But God has so ordained that in spite of its close proximity to false religions, Islam will never lose its sweet taste as God has taken upon Himself to protect a

This is in effect an illustration of Divine guidance, which when it is constantly reinforced by fresh revelation remains fresh, sweet and life-giving, but when it becomes stale, it loses all value.
