5408 Thus the argument of the Sura is rounded off on the same note as was struck at the beginning lix. 1. The first verse
and the last verse of the Sura are the same, except as regards the tense of the verb sabbaha. In the first verse it is
the optative form of the preterite sabbaha: everything declares the Glory of Allah! After the illustrations given, the
declaratory form of the aorist is appropriate, yusabbihu: "everything doth declare the Glory of Allah'. (59.24)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.442 Narrated by
Ibn Abbas
All the idols which were worshipped by the people of Noah were worshipped by the Arabs later on. As for the idol Wadd, it
was worshipped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal; Suwa' was the idol of (the tribe of) Murad and then by Ban, Ghutaif
at Al-Jurf near Saba; Yauq was the idol of Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyr, the branch of Dhi-al-Kala. The names (of
the idols) formerly belonged to some pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people to
(prepare) and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call those idols by their names. The people did so, but
the idols were not worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of the idols had become obscure,
whereupon people began worshipping them.

Taking Refuge
Yahya related to me from Malik from Summayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr from al-Qa'qa ibn Hakim that Kab al-Ahbar said, "Had
it not been for some words which I said, the jews would have made me into a donkey." Someone asked him what they were.
He said, "I seek refuge with the immense Face of Allah - there is nothing greater than it - and with the complete words of
Allah which neither the good person nor the corrupt can exceed and with all the most beautiful names of Allah, what I know of
them and what I do not know, from the evil of what He has created and originated and multiplied."
Audhu bi wajhi'llahi l-adheem aladhee laysa shay'un adham minh, wa bi kalimati'llahi't-tammati, alatee la yujawizu hunna
barra wa la fajir, wa bi asma'illahi'l-husna kulliha ma alamtu minha wa ma lam alam, min sharri ma khalaqa wa bara'a wa
dhara'a.

The Names of the Prophet, may Allah Bless Him and Grant Him Peace
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Muhammad ibn Jubayr ibn Mutim that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "I have five names. I am Muhammad. I am Ahmad. I am al-Mahi (the effacer), by whom Allah effaces kufr. I
am al-Hashir (the gatherer), before whom people are gathered. I am al-Aqib (the last)."
