Narrated Masruq: A man came to 'Abdullah and said: 'A story teller has said that a smoke will appear from the earth, taking the hearing of disbelievers and manifesting as a cold for the believers.' He became angry, and since he was reclining, he sat up then said: 'When one of you is asked about something he knows, then let him speak accordingly' - Mansur (one of the narrators) narrated it as: Then let him inform of it - And when asked about what he does not know, then let him say: Allah knows best. For indeed, it is part of a man's knowledge, that when he is asked about something he does not know, he says: Allah knows best. For verily Allah, Most High said to His Prophet: Say: No wage do I ask of you for this, nor am I one of the pretenders (38:86). When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that the Quraish were behaving stubbornly with him, he said: O Allah! Assist me against them with seven (years of famine) like the seven of Yusuf. So He punished them with drought making everything barren, until they ate skins and carcasses - one of them said: bones. He said: 'And it appeared that smoke was coming out of the earth. So Abu Sufyan came to him and said: Verily your people are being destroyed, so supplicate to Allah for them. He said: So this is about His saying: 'The Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke, covering the people, this is a painful torment (44:10 & 11).' Mansur narrated it as: So this is about His saying: Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers (44:12). - So shall the punishment be removed from them in the Hereafter? Al-Batshah (humiliated defeat in Badr), Al-Lizam (disbeliever captives from Badr), the smoke, - one of them said: The moon the other said: The Romans have all passed.

Verily, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. (46:10) And (the following) was revealed about me: 'Sufficient as a witness between me and you is Allah, and those too who have knowledge of the Scripture. (13:43) Allah has sheathed the sword from you and the angels are your neighbors in this city of yours, the one in which the Revelation came to your Prophet. But by Allah!

He said: They said: 'Kill the Jew and kill 'Uthman.'
