He (Az-Zubayr) said, `This is a very serious matter."'

Ahmad recorded from Az-Zubayr bin Al-`Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him, that when this Surah was revealed to the Messenger of Allah;

إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَإِنَّهُم مَّيِّتُونَ

Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said;
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِندَ رَبِّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُون

Ibn Mandah recorded in Kitab Ar-Ruh that Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

"The people will dispute on the Day of Resurrection, to the extent that the soul will dispute with the body. The soul will say to the body, `You did such and such,' and the body will say to the soul, `You told me to do it and you tempted me.'

Then Allah will send an angel to judge between them, and he will say, `You two are like a man who cannot walk but can see, and a man who cannot see but can walk.'

They went into a garden and the one who could not walk said to the one who was blind, `I see fruit there, but I cannot reach it.'

The blind man said, `Climb on me and get it.'

So he climbed on him and got it. So which of them is the wrongdoer

They will say, `Both of them.'

The angel will say to them, `You have passed judgement against yourselves.'

The body was a means of transportation for the soul."

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Sa`id bin Jubayr said that Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

(Then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be disputing before your Lord)."

He said,

"We said, what will we dispute about? There is no dispute between us and the People of the Book, so what will we dispute about until the Fitnah occurred."

Then Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said,

"This is what our Lord promised us we would dispute about."
