﴿ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ ٱلْغَٰشِيَةِ ﴾

“HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event?'”

And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said concerning the interpretation of Allah's saying (Hath there come unto you): '(Hath there come unto you) He says: it has not come unto you, O Muhammad, before but now it has; it is also said that this means: it has come unto you (tidings of the Overwhelming) the news of the coming of the Hour? It is also said the Overwhelming refers to the Fire overwhelming its dwellers.
