to return while others remained behind. Then ?Gabriel came to the apostle and said, ‘What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these ?people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you. ?The apostle was bitterly grieved and was greatly in fear of God. So God sent down (a revelation), ?for He was merciful to him, comforting him and making light of the affair and telling him that ?every prophet and apostle before him desired as he desired and wanted what he wanted and Satan ?interjected something into his desires as he had on his tongue. So God annulled what Satan had ?suggested and God established His verses i.e. you are just like the prophets and apostles. Then ?God sent down: ‘We have not sent a prophet or apostle before you but when he longed Satan cast ?suggestions into his longing. But God will annul what Satan has suggested. Then God will ?establish his verses, God being knowing and wise.” (al Tabari)
In conclusion, if Satan had the permission from God, to be powerful and deceiver, why God makes his job easy to fill the Hill-Fire? And to give him the power even to put words in the Prophet’s mouths? A question needs more elaboration to answer. (1725 words) www.dryahyatv.com
