لَوْ كَانَ عَرَضًا قَرِيبًا وَسَفَرًا قَاصِدًا لَّٱتَّبَعُوكَ وَلَٰكِنۢ بَعُدَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلشُّقَّةُ ۚ وَسَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَوِ ٱسْتَطَعْنَا لَخَرَجْنَا مَعَكُمْ يُهْلِكُونَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
The journey was very hard and arduous. The Muslim army had to travel in an extremely hot weather about 200 miles to the border of Syria to meet a very powerful army. It was also the harvesting season and the trees were laden with ripe fruit.

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُم بَٰسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِٱلْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا
穆斯林在穆圣时代受到事先的警告说, 北方地区的基督教民族正在休眠状态, 不过不久他们将从长时期的熟睡中醒来, 而且将遍及全世界并且将它置于他们的统治之下。
“我将使他们转向右边和左边” 这句话, 看来指的是, 他们走向世界各处, 向所有方面发展, 寻找新的市场以及作出新的征服。
这些话, 除了指西方基督教国家喜受狗以外, 也可以理解为指 (拜占诞) (Byzantine) 帝国而言。这个帝国在玛摩拉海的两侧看守着欧洲, 好像一只狗向两侧伸出两只前腿看守着那样。
这些话指的是西方基督教国家将要得到极大的政治权力的时候。«古兰经» 在几百年前当基督教国家尚在长时期的熟睡时就预言了这一事实, 那时即使是想象力最远大的人也没有能力预见到他们最终能上升到如此大的权力和光荣的地步。这节经文包含一幅西方国家支配东方和南方国家的具有特征性的描写、他们的特殊生活方式以及他们在这些地区人民中间引起的畏惧。
یعنی اَصحابُ الکہف دنیا کی ہر جہت میں پھیل جائیں گے اور یہ پھیلنے والی قوم یورپ کے مسیحی ہیں پس انہی کی طرف اصحاب کہف سے اشارہ ہے۔
پالتو ُکتّے جب گھر کی حفاظت کے لئے باہر بیٹھتے ہیں تو ہاتھ پھیلا کر زمین پر بیٹھتے ہیں اور یورپین لوگ کثرت سے کُتّے رکھتے ہیں۔ اسی کی طرف یہاں اشارہ ہے۔
یعنی مغربی یا شمالی لوگ مشرقیوں یا جنوبیوں سے اس طرح بچ کر رہیں گے کہ ان کے گھروں میں بے اطلاع جانا مشرقیوں کے لئے ناممکن ہوگا۔
The Muslims in the Holy Prophet’s time were forewarned that Christian nations in northern regions were lying in a state of dormancy but they would soon rise from their deep sleep of centuries and would spread all over the world and hold it under their sway.
The words, 'We shall cause them to turn over to the right and to the left' seem to refer to their going about in the world, spreading in all directions in search of new markets and making new conquests.
The words, besides referring to the great fondness of Western Christian nations for dogs, may also be taken as referring to the Byzantine Empire which then kept guard over Europe on both sides of the Sea of Marmora, and which looks like a dog keeping watch with its forelegs stretched forth on both sides.
These words refer to the time when Christian nations of the West were to acquire great political power. The Qur’an foretold this fact hundreds of years ago when Christian nations were yet sunk in a deep sleep of centuries and the wildest stretch of imagination could not have foreseen the power and glory to which they subsequently rose. The verse contains a characteristic picture of the domination of Western nations over Eastern and Southern lands, their peculiar mode of life and the fear and awe they inspire among the peoples of these regions.
Important Words:
ایقاظا (awake) is the plural of یقظ (yaqizun) which is derived fromیقظ (yaqiza) which means, he awoke; he did not sleep. (yaqizun) means, a man waking; a man vigilant, wary, cautious, or in a state of preparation; having his attention roused and possessing knowledge and much intelligence (Lane & Aqrab).
رقود (asleep) is the plural of راقد which is derived from رقد which means, he slept. They say رقد عن الامر i.e. he abstained or held back from the affair; he neglected it. رقدت السوق means, the market became stagnant or dull (Lane & Aqrab).
وصید (threshold) is derived from وصد. They say وصد بالمکان i.e. he remained in the house. اوصد الباب means, he closed the door. وصید means, a court or open space in front of a house; a threshold of a door or entrance; a door or entrance; a fold for sheep or goats; a house of stones made in the mountains for flocks or herds (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse does not refer to the Dwellers of the Cave in the early days of Christianity but to Christian nations in the Holy Prophet’s own time. Muslims of that time were warned that Christian nations in northern regions were then lying in a state of dormancy but they would soon rise from their deep sleep of centuries and would spread all over the world and hold it under their sway. Before that time Muslims should make effective preparation to protect themselves against their devastating onslaughts. Muslims threw this timely Divine warning to the winds. After Caliph Uthman, internecine dissensions rent them. They became heedless of the danger that existed in the shape of the Byzantine Empire by their side. If they then had attacked and conquered it, for which they had quite legitimate reasons as the Romans had first attacked them, the political map of the world would now be quite different from what it is.
The words, their dog stretching out his forelegs on the threshold, refer to the great fondness of Christian peoples for their dogs. The words may also be taken as referring to the Byzantine Empire which then kept guard over Europe on both sides of the Sea of Marmora. This sea looks like a dog keeping watch with his forelegs stretched forth on both sides. The Turks conquered this country in the 15th century but it was too late. By then a great political awakening had taken place among the Christian nations of the northern regions. If in the day of their power and glory the Moors and the Abbasids had made common cause to subdue and crush these nations, Islam would have spread to these parts and mankind would have been spared much misery and bloodshed.
The expression, If thou had had a look at them, thou wouldst surely have turned away from them in fright, refers to the time when Christian nations will have acquired great political power. Till very recently the nationals of all western countries were treated with great respect and fear all over the East. It constitutes a proof positive of the Divine source of the Quran that it foretold this fact hundreds of years ago when Christian nations were yet sunk in a deep sleep of centuries and the wildest stretch of imagination could not have foreseen the power and glory to which they subsequently rose.
