يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ
زَمَّلَهٗ (Zammala-hu) 的意思是:他驮他在背上。زَمَّلَ (Zammala) 除了这节经文中的意思之外还意味着:他迅速跑去。تَزَمَّلَ (Tazammala), اِِزَّمَلَ (Izzamala) 或 اِزْدَمَلَ (Izdamala) 的意思是:他将自己裹起来; 他抬或携着它, 就是说每次带一个负荷。مُزَّمِّل (Muzzammil) 或 مُتَزَمِّل (Mutazammil) 的意思是:及穿着衣服的人; 负有重任的人 (اَقْرَبْ Aqrab, قَدِيْر Qadir, مَعَانِی Ma‘ani)。安拉的天使带着真主的启示来到 حِرَا (Hira) 山洞中穆圣那儿, 在他这第一次精神经历之后, 他匆匆回家, 十分惊骇。这惊骇很自然, 因为这经历很新奇。穆圣要求裹在斗篷内。因为 “裹” 还含有 “连结和团结在一起” 的意思, 所以这节经文的意思似乎是: “啊, 你是奉命将世界各国团结在一面旗帜下的先知呀!” 穆圣在圣训中被说成是 اَلْحَاشِر (Al-Hashir), 即世界各国的连结者和团结者 (《布哈里》)。这节经文也可以表示: (1) 穆圣得走漫漫长途才能唤醒人类认识到自己的崇高的使命, 因此他必须立刻开始, 就是说, 迅速不停地辛勤工作。(2) 他身负重任, 责无旁贷, 应向全世界传播真主的启示。穆圣也许被提醒他那建立一个敬畏安拉的信者社会的艰巨任务, 那里的信者胸怀同样的高尚理想, 像他一样, 心中燃烧着同样的不灭热情, 协助他向全人类传达伊斯兰教的启示。这节经文的意思是指穆圣艰巨的职责和本分, 而不是指他身上裹着斗篷。
Zamala-hu means, he carried him behind his back. Zammala, besides the meaning given in the text, means, he ran and went along quickly. Tazammala, Izzammala or Izdamala means, he wrapped himself; he bore, or carried it, namely a load at one time. Muzzammil (or Mutazammil) means, a man wrapped in his garments; one bearing a heavy responsibility (Aqrab, Qadir, Ma‘ani). After his first spiritual experience when the angel of God came to the Holy Prophet with Divine revelation in the Cave Hira’, he rushed home very much frightened. The fright was quite natural because the experience was quite novel. The Holy Prophet asked to be wrapped up in a mantle. As wrapping up also implies the sense of joining together and uniting, the meaning of the verse may be something like this, 'O thou who hast been commissioned to unite all the nations of the world under one banner!' The Holy Prophet has been described in the Hadith as Al-Hashir, i.e. joiner and uniter of t
Important Words:
المزمل (wrapped in mantle) is derived from the root زمل which means, he ran and went along quickly. زمله means, he bore or carried it, namely, a load.
زمله علی البعیر means, be made him to ride behind him on the camel so as to counterbalance him. زمله فی ثوبه means, he wrapped him in his garment. تزمل means, he wrapped himself. مزمل (ordinarily متزمل) means, a man wrapped in his garments; one bearing a heavy responsibility (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
In view of different significations of the word مزمل the verse has been variously interpreted. The simple explanation is the one given in Bukhari. After his first spiritual experience when the angel of God came to the Holy Prophet with Divine revelation he rushed home very much frightened. The fright was quite natural because the experience was quite novel. The Prophet asked to be wrapped in a mantle. As wrapping also implies the sense of joining together and uniting, the meaning of the verse may be something like this, "O thou who art to unite the nations of the world under one banner!" The Holy Prophet has been described in the Hadith as الحاشر i.e. the Joiner and Uniter of the nations of the world (Bukhari, Kitab Manaqibun-Nabi).
Applying the other root meanings of زمل given under Important Words, it may be said: (1) That the Holy Prophet is described in the verse as one who has to go a long distance on the road to awaken humanity to the realization of its high destiny, and therefore he has to run fast i.e. work hard, incessantly and fast. (2) That he is one who is to carry a heavy load, a very great responsibility of preaching the Divine Message to the world. (3) That the Holy Prophet may have been reminded of his onerous task of preparing a community of God-fearing followers, who, imbued with the same noble ideals and fired with the same unflagging zeal as himself, should help him to convey to mankind the Message of Islam. زمل also means to make another person ride behind oneself on the camel so as to maintain balance. It is to the onerous duties and responsibilities of the Holy Prophet and to his high status as a Divine teacher that in reality reference has been made in the verse under comment, and not to his being wrapped in his mantle. From the time be received this revelation, the Holy Prophet’s life was not his own. It became dedicated to God and mankind.
