taken aback and took to their heels screaming ‘giants have come’ ‘giants have come’. ‘Yazdgard,’ the son of the Iranian king had already sent the female members of his family with a part of his treasure to ‘Hulwaan’. He too fled, casting a wistful look at the deserted city of ‘Madaain’. When Sayyiduna Sa’d Bin Abi Waqqas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ entered the city, there was dead silence all around. The majestic but empty palaces of Kisra, other high-rise buildings and lush gardens were all indicating the impermanence of the world. Seeing this, Sayyiduna Sa’d Bin Abi Waqqas رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ spontaneously recited the following verses of Surah Ad-Dukhan, part 25:
کَمۡ تَرَکُوۡا مِنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّ عُیُوۡنٍ ﴿ۙ۲۵﴾ وَّ زُرُوۡعٍ وَّ مَقَامٍ کَرِ یۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۲۶﴾ وَّ نَعۡمَۃٍ کَانُوۡا فِیۡہَا فٰکِہِیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۲۷﴾ کَذٰلِکَ ۟ وَ اَوۡرَثۡنٰہَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِیۡنَ ﴿۲۸﴾ فَمَا بَکَتۡ عَلَیۡہِمُ السَّمَآ ءُ وَ الۡاَ رۡضُ وَ مَا کَانُوۡا مُنۡظَرِ یۡنَ ﴿۲۹﴾٪
How many gardens and water-springs they have left behind! And fields and nice houses! And favours amongst which they were free from care! That is what we did; and we made another nation their heirs. So the Heavens and the earth did not weep for them, and they were not given respite.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (Translation of Quran)] (Part 25, Ad-Dukhan, verse 25-29)
