Mujahid and Qatadah said: This means that Allah did not send them anotherMessage. Ibn Jarir said: The first interpretation looks more proper because Allahthe Almighty says after this: {nor was it needful for Us to send (such athing)}, i.e. Allah was not in need to send such a thing to punish them whenthey belied His Messengers and killed His godly man, {It was but one Saihah(shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}.Interpreters said: Allah the Almighty sent Gabriel (Peace be upon him) whomaintained a grasp on their town's gate and made a single shout {one Saihah(shout) and lo! They (all) were still (silent, dead, destroyed)}, i.e. theyturned to be silent, motionless and dead.Finally, all these indicate that the town mentioned in the Qur'anic verses wasnot Antioch because the people of Antioch believed in Allah and followed themessengers of Jesus (Peace be upon him). Moreover, Antioch was said to be thefirst town to declare faith in Jesus (Peace be upon him).www.islambasics.com
Allah the Almighty says:In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful(4)Story of the Heifer{And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: "Verily,Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow." They said, "Do youmake fun of us?" He said, "I take Allah's Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorant or the foolish). " They said, "Call upon your Lordfor us that He may make plain to us what it is!" He said, "He says:'Verily, it is a cow neither too old nor too young, but (it is) between thetwo conditions', so do what you are commanded " They said, "Call uponyour Lordfor us to make plain to us its color." He said, "He says: 'It is ayellow cow, bright in its color, pleasing the beholders.” They said, "Callupon your Lord for us to make plain to us what it is. Verily, to us allcows are alike. And surely, if Allah wills, we will be guided." He [Musa(Moses)] said, "He says: 'It is a cow neither trained to tilt the soil norwater the fields, sound, having no other color except bright yellow. '"They said, "Now you have brought the truth." So they slaughtered itthough they were near to not doing it. And (remember) when youkilled a man and fell into dispute among yourselves as to the crime.ButAllah brought forth that which you were hiding. So We said: "Strikehim (the dead man) with a piece of it (the cow)." Thus Allah brings thedead to life and shows you His Aya: (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,signs, revelations, etc.) so that you may understand}. (Al-Baqarah, 67-73)'Abdullah Ibn 'Abbas, `Ubaidah As-Salmani, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Mujahid, As-Sadiy and other earlier scholars said: An old man from among the Children ofIsrael was very rich, and he had some nephews who wished he would die soonto inherit him. One day, one of them on purpose murdered him at night andthrew him on the road -or at the door of one of his own brothers. In themorning, the people found the dead body and they disputed over him. Hisnephew -the murderer -came and began to weep and cry. Some people said:Why do you dispute over him? Why do not you go to Allah's Prophet (Peace beupon him)? His nephew came and complained to Musa (Moses (Peace be uponhim». Musa (Peace be upon him) said: by Allah! Anyone who knows anythingabout this murdered man, he should let us know. But, no one knew anythingabout it. Thereupon, they asked Musa (Peace be upon him) to ask his Lordconcerning this issue. Musa (Peace be upon him) asked his Lord and he wascommanded to order them to slaughter a cow, {Verily, Allah commands youthat you slaughter a cow. They said, Do you make fun of us?} i.e. we askwww.islambasics.com
