444. Supporting with the help of the Pure Spirit.
Verses (2:87, 2:253, 5:110) of the Quran say ‘ We supported Prophet Esa with the Pure Spirit.
Verse 16:102 says ‘the Pure Spirit brought it down into your heart’.
In verse 26:193 of the Quran it is mentioned as the Trustworthy Spirit and in other verses 19:17, 58:22, 70:4, 78:38, 97:4 as merely Spirit.
All these references are made to the Archangel Jibril.
When the enemies of Prophet Muhammad fabricated a poem to denigrate him, the prophet asked his comrade to counter it with a poem from his side. (Bukhari 453, 3212, 6152) The comrade to encourage him prayed to God by saying ‘Oh! God supports him with the Trustworthy Spirit’. (Bukhari 453, 3212, 6152)
At another instance Prophet Muhammad said ‘Hassan counter him with your poem Jibril is with ou’, (Bukhari:3213, 4124, 6153).
When we consider both these hadiths connectedly, we can easily come to a conclusion, the word ‘Pure Spirit’ refers to Archangel Jibril.
We also come to understand the meaning of the phrase ‘supporting with the help of the Pure Spirit’.
The meaning of the phrase is in fact supporting to convey the message correctly and clearly by using one’s tongue.
Hence it needs to be understood as the Almighty had strengthened Hassan’s tongue through Jibril, to refute claims against Islam and Prophet Muhammad.
Hassan Bin Saabith did not receive the support of Jibril at all times. As can be seen in the case, when though he could refute those who slandered against the prophet, the same help was not available at the time when Aisha (RA) was subjected to slander.
(Book Bukhari 4141, 4146, 4755, 4758).
Had Jibril supported Hassan Bin Saabith in the case of the incident involving Ayisha, he would not have received whip lashes from Prophet Muhammad.
Though the task of reaching the messages by Jibril to all messengers, is over with the end of Prophet Muhammad, but the guidance by him to all people with the right ideology is a blessing to them is the message conveyed by verse 58:22 of the Quran.
You will not be able to witness people who are believers in the great God and day of judgment being affectionate towards those who antagonized the great God and his messenger, be it their parents, their offspring, their siblings, their family members, Allah has planted in them the belief. And He has supported them with the help of His Spirit Jibril. He will make them enter the gardens of paradise under which rivers flow. This will be their abode for ever, and Allah is contended with them and they are also contended with the Almighty, they are the ones who belong to Allah, and one’s wh will turn out to be victorious.
The Quran 58:22
This verse confirms that, whoever believes in Allah and the day of judgment, and makes an enemy of those who transgress the limits set by God be it their family members or relatives, Allah will support them through Jibril.
Nobody can overcome arguments, because the Almighty supports them with the Pure Spirit Jibril.
Those who have accepted only the Quran and the guidance of Prophet Muhammad as their ideology for life, can be seen today possessing the strength even today to surpass many scholars in explaining the messages of the Quran, because the reason being they are supported by Jibril.
