The Story Behind In-sha-Allah

Jewish tribes that settled in Arabia and asking them to verify the credentials of this new Prophet. The Meccans - even though they were pagans - believed that the Jews were the people of the Book and had scriptures from God. So the Jewish leaders gave the Meccans a litmus test; 3 questions they should ask the new Prophet. If he answered 2 of them and not the third, then he's a true Prophet. Otherwise he was a liar.

The Meccans were ecstatic! Finally - they thought - they could corner the Prophet and ask him questions which he won't know the answers to since he was not from the people of the Book (and was an illiterate man).

The questions were:

1. Tell us about the young men who went into the Cave

2. Tell us about a King who ruled the east and the west

3. Tell us about the Soul.

When the Prophet was asked these 3 questions. He simply replied "I'll inform you tomorrow". And he did not add the phrase “In-sha-Allah”.

“When the Prophet was asked about the story of the people of the Cave, he said, "I will tell you tomorrow. '' Then the revelation was delayed for fifteen days.”[ Tafsir Ibn Kathir page 2937]

“And never say of anything, "I shall do such and such thing tomorrow, : Except (with the saying), "If Allah will!" And remember your Lord when you forget …”[Al-Qur’an ch 18 Verse 23-24]
