The calamities of this world, the Romans, and the violent seizure or the smoke. Shuba was the one uncertain whether it was the violent seizure or the smoke.
في قوله عز وجل {ولنذيقنهم من العذاب الأدنى دون العذاب الأكبر لعلهم يرجعون}
مصائب الدنيا، والروم، والبطشة أو الدخان. شعبة الشاك في البطشة أو الدخان.
Muslim reported it in the Chapter on the Description of the Resurrection (2799) through several routes from Muhammad bin Jafar, from Shuba, from Qatada, from Azra, from Hasan Arni, from Yahya bin Jazzar, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Layla, from Ubayy bin Kaab, who narrated it.It has been said that the lesser punishment is the punishment of the grave, and the greater punishment is the punishment of the Fire. It has also been said that the lesser punishment is what befell the disbelievers who denied the truth on the day of Badr, so that perhaps they would return and repent from their sins before the greater punishment.
