Sahih Muslim 2798b (Book 52, Hadith 23) #14122
The Consequences of Disobeying Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the consequences of disobeying Allah and how Allah punishes those who disobey Him. It also explains that when people are in distress, they should seek forgiveness from Allah.

Masruq reported that there came to Abdullah a person and said: I have left behind in the mosque a man who explains the Qur'an according to his personal discretion and he explained this verse:" So wait for the day when the Heaven brings a clear smoke". He says that a smoke would come to the people on the Day of Resurrection anl it will withhold breath and they would be inflicted with cold'.Abdullah said: He who has knowledge should say something and he who has no knowledge should simply say: Allah is best aware. This reflects the understanding of a person that he should say about that which he does not know that it is Allah who knows best. The fact is that when the Quraish disobeyed Allah's Apostle ﷺ he supplicated Allah that they should be afflicted with famine and starvation as was done in case of Yusuf. And they were so much hard pressed that a person would ace the sky and he would see between him and the sky something like smoke and they were so much hard pressed that they began to cat the bones, and a person came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ and said: Allah's Messenger. seek forgiveness for the tribe of Mudar for (its people) have been undone. The Messenger ﷺ said: For Mudar? You are overbold, but he supplicated Allah for them. It was upon this that this verse was revealed:" We shall remove the chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil" (44. 15). lie (the narrator) said: There was a downpoor of rain upon them. When there was some relief for them they returned to the same position as they had been before, and Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse:" So wait for the day when the heaven brings a clear smoke enveloping people. This is a grievous torment on the day when We seize them with the most violent seizing; surely, We shall exact retribution". And this (seizing) implied (Battle) of Badr.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the consequences of disobeying God and how He punishes those who disobey Him. It is narrated by Masruq, who reported that a man came to Abdullah and told him about someone explaining a verse from the Quran in his own way. Abdullah then said that if one does not know something, they should say “Allah knows best” instead of making up their own explanation. The story then goes on to explain how Prophet Muhammad supplicated for the Quraish tribe when they were disobedient and were punished with famine and starvation as was done with Yusuf in the past. As a result, this verse was revealed “We shall remove the chastisement a little, but they will surely return to evil” which meant there would be some relief for them but if they continued their disobedience then more punishment would come upon them which eventually happened at Badr battle where many people died due to their disobedience towards God's orders. This hadith teaches us an important lesson; we must always obey God's commands or else we will face severe punishments like those faced by Quraish tribe at Badr battle. We must also remember that even when we are facing hardships or difficulties in life, we should turn towards God for help instead of relying on our own understanding or knowledge as only He knows what is best for us all.
