When the Prophet was made to ascend to the Heavens, he said (after his return), "I came upon a river the banks of which
were made of tents of hollow pearls. I asked Gabriel, 'What is this (river)?' He replied, 'This is the Kauthar.' "
PEN:
31:27 - And if all the trees on earth were pens and the Ocean (were ink) with seven Oceans behind
it to add to its (supply) yet would not the Words of Allah be exhausted (in the writing): for Allah
is Exalted in power Full of Wisdom. 3616
3616 "Words of Allah": his wonderful Signs and Commandments are infinite and cannot be expressed if all the trees were
made into pens, and all the wide Ocean, multiplied seven times, were made into ink. Any Book of His Revelation
would deal with matters which man can understand and use in his life: there are things that man can never fathom.
Nor would any praise that we could write with infinite resources be adequate to describe His power, glory, and
wisdom. (31.27)
68:1 - Nun. By the Pen and by the (Record) which (men) write 55925593
5592 Nun is an Abbreviated Letter: see Appendix I at the end of S. ii. Nun may mean a fish, or an ink-holder, or it may be
just the Arabic letter of the alphabet, N. In the last case, it may refer to either or both of the other meanings. Note also
that the Arabic rhyme in this Sura ends in N. The reference to ink would be an appropriate link with the Pen in verse 1.
The reference to the fish would be appropriate with reference to the story of Jonah in verses 48-50. Jonah's title is
"the Companion of the Fish", (Zun-Nun, xxi. 87), as he was, in the story, swallowed by the Fish. (68.1)
5593 The Pen and the Record are the symbolical foundations of the Revelation to man. The adjuration by the Pen disposes
of the flippant charge that Allah's Messenger was mad or possessed. For he spoke words of power, not incoherent,
but full of meaning, and through the Record of the Pen, that meaning unfolds itself, in innumerable aspects to
countless generations. Muhammad was the living Grace and Mercy of Allah, and his very nature exalted him above
abuse and persecution. (68.1)
96:4 - He Who taught (the use of) the Pen 6206
6206 See n. 5593 to lxviii. 1. The Arabic words for "teach" and "knowledge" are from the same root. It is impossible to
produce in a Translation the complete orchestral harmony of the words for "read", "teach", "pen" (which implies
reading, writing, books, study, research), "knowledge" (including science, self knowledge, spiritual understanding),
and "proclaim", an alternative meaning of the word for "to read". This proclaiming or reading implies not only the duty
of blazoning forth Allah's message, as going, with the prophetic office, but also the duty of promulgation and wide
dissemination of the Truth by all who read and understand it. The comprehensive meaning of qaraa refers not only to
a particular person and occasion but also gives a universal direction. And this kind of comprehensive meaning, as we
have seen, runs throughout the Qur-an -for those, who will understand. (96.4)
Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 9.82
How to Do the Prayer in General
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that one of the muhajirun in whom he saw no harm
asked Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, "Can I pray in a place where camels are watered?" Abdullah replied, "No, but you can pray
in a sheep-pen."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 7.13B
Abu Huraira
Narrated by
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a young man and I am afraid that I may commit illegal sexual intercourse and I cannot afford to
marry." He kept silent, and then repeated my question once again, but he kept silent. I said the same (for the third time) and
he remained silent. Then repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then the Prophet said, "O Abu Huraira! The pen
has dried after writing what you are going to confront. So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or not."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 6.480 Narrated by
Aisha
The commencement of (the Divine Inspirations to) Allah's Apostle was in the form of true dreams. The Angel came to him and
said, "Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists), has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is
Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen (the first person to write was Prophet Idris. (96.1-4)
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 4658 Narrated by
Zayd ibn Thabit
I went in to visit the Prophet (peace be upon him) in front of whom was a secretary, and I heard him say, "Put the pen behind
your ear, for it is the best way of recalling things from memory."
Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition, but that there is some weakness in its isnad.
