Wahidi in his famous work ‘Asbabun-Nazool’, narrates on the authority of ibne-Abbas that a man found a palm tree, a branch of which was bent towards the house of a poor man who had a large family. Sometimes the owner of the palm tree took the fruits and if by chance some date would fall in the poor man’s house and his children picked it up, the owner would come and snatch them away from their hands and even from their mouth. The poor man complained to the Holy Prophet who asked the owner if he would give him (Holy Prophet) the tree in question, in return for a palm tree in paradise. The man declined with the plea that the date of this tree is so delicate that he could not give it up. There was another man named Abu Huddah, who heard what the Holy Prophet promised the owner. He said: “O’ Prophet of God! would you promise the same to me if I get the palm tree from the owner and give it to you?” The Holy Prophet said ‘Yes’. He got the palm in exchange for forty trees of high quality and presented it to the Holy Prophet who gave it to the poor man. This illustrates the significance of the passage. No illustration or ‘Shan-e-Nuzool’ restricts any significance of any of the verses of the Holy Qur’an—as said the Sixth Holy Imam: “It is clear that man’s salvation and eternal happiness depends on the strength of the faith and good deeds.” (A.P.)
