6كَلّا إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَيَطغىٰMir Ahmed AliNay!1 Verily man is wont to rebel!Having received the grace and the bounties from his Creator Lord, man gets rebellious—forgets his origin and his inherent helplessness, and thinks that he is self-sufficient and can do things without any help and without the fear of any one to check or control him or his being accountable to the Lord. Though this is a general statement hut its immediate application was meant for Abu Jehl one of the leaders of the enemies of the Holy Prophet and Islam. It is said that once Abu Jehl told some men “You see Muhammad praying, placing his forehead on the ground and you do not stop him. I smear that if I see him again doing it, I will stand on his neck instil he is choked to death.” One of his men said “He (the Holy Prophet) is now in his prayers in his own fashion.” Abu Jehl started for the place but having approached very near the Holy Prophet returned with an awe-stricken face struck with some dread, and reported that while he intended to get near the Holy Prophet, he saw a big ditch filled with flaming fire between hint and the Holy Prophet with a huge dragon ready to pounce upon him. These verses refer to the conduct of Abu Jehl. Man having received everything he possesses, from God, gets lost in his vanity and insolence and imagines all the gifts of God as his own achievements and becomes inordinate.Verses from verse 6 downward are of much later period but the Holy Prophet ordered to he put here and this is the best proof that the arrangement was not on chronological consideration. There is no single tradition to show, to present this chapter as misarranged. (A.P.)
