ماذا حدث لقبيلة سبأ ؟
لقد كان لقبيلة سبأ بـ اليمن في مسكنهم دلالة على قدرتنا: بستانان عن يمين وشمال, كلوا من رزق ربكم, واشكروا له نعمه عليكم; فإن بلدتكم كريمة التربة حسنة الهواء, وربكم غفور لكم. فأعرضوا عن أمر الله وشكره وكذبوا الرسل, فأرسلنا عليهم السيل الجارف الشديد الذي خرَّب السد وأغرق البساتين, وبدَّلناهم بجنتيهم المثمرتين جنتين ذواتَيْ أكل خمط, وهو الثمر المر الكريه الطعم, وأثْل وهو شجر شبيه بالطَّرْفاء لا ثمر له, وقليل من شجر النَّبْق كثير الشوك. ذلك التبديل من خير إلى شر بسبب كفرهم, وعدم شكرهم نِعَمَ الله, وما نعاقب بهذا العقاب الشديد إلا الجَحود المبالغ في الكفر, يجازى بفعله مثلا بمثل. وجعلنا بين أهل سبأ -وهم باليمن- والقرى التي باركنا فيها -وهي الشام- مُدنًا متصلة يُرى بعضها من بعض, وجعلنا السير فيها سيرًا مقدَّرًا من منزل إلى منزل لا مشقة فيه, وقلنا لهم: سيروا في تلك القرى في أيِّ وقت شئتم من ليل أو نهار, آمنين لا تخافون عدوًّا, ولا جوعًا ولا عطشًا. فبطغيانهم ملُّوا الراحة والأمن ورغد العيش, وقالوا: ربنا اجعل قُرانا متباعدة; ليبعد سفرنا بينها, فلا نجد قرى عامرة في طريقنا, وظلموا أنفسهم بكفرهم فأهلكناهم, وجعلناهم عبرًا وأحاديث لمن يأتي بعدهم, وفَرَّقناهم كل تفريق وخربت بلادهم, إن فيما حل بسبأ لَعبرة لكل صبَّار على المكاره والشدائد, شكور لنعم الله تعالى.لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسْكَنِهِمْ آيَةٌ جَنَّتَانِ عَن يَمِينٍ وَشِمَالٍ كُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِ رَبِّكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ بَلْدَةٌ طَيِّبَةٌ وَرَبٌّ غَفُورٌ{15} فَأَعْرَضُوا فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَاهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَى أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَيْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ{16} ذَلِكَ جَزَيْنَاهُم بِمَا كَفَرُوا وَهَلْ نُجَازِي إِلَّا الْكَفُورَ{17} وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً وَقَدَّرْنَا فِيهَا السَّيْرَ سِيرُوا فِيهَا لَيَالِيَ وَأَيَّاماً آمِنِينَ{18} فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا بَاعِدْ بَيْنَ أَسْفَارِنَا وَظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ أَحَادِيثَ وَمَزَّقْنَاهُمْ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٍ شَكُورٍ{19}سبأ.
قبيلة سبأ
Indeed, for the tribe of Sheba in Yemen, there was a sign in their dwelling: two gardens, one on the right and one on the left. Eat from your Lord's provision and be grateful to Him. Your town is good, and your Lord is Forgiving. But they turned away from Allah's command and His gratitude, and they denied the messengers. So, we sent upon them a severe flood that destroyed the dam and drowned the gardens. We replaced their two gardens with two gardens bearing bitter fruit and no good, and a few thorny date palms. This was a replacement of good with evil due to their disbelief and ingratitude. We made the journey between the people of Sheba and the towns we blessed easy and safe, with no hardship. But they became arrogant and asked their Lord to distance their journeys. So, we afflicted them and made them a lesson and a story for those who come after them. Their lands were desolate, and their homes were destroyed. Indeed, in what befell Sheba, there is a lesson for every patient, grateful one.
Tribe of Saba
What happened to the tribe of Sheba?
Quran Surah 34 Ayah 15:
In Fact, For (The People Of) Saba (Sheba), A Sign Did Exist In Their Homeland Itself. (They) Were Two Gardens, One On The Right Hand And The Other On The Left. (They Were Commanded:) ‘Eat Of The Provision From Your Lord And Keep Giving Him Thanks. (How) Pure Is (Your) City And A Lord Most Forgiving!’

Quran Surah 34 Ayah 16:
Then They Turned Away (From Obedience). So We Let Loose Against Them A Devastating Flood, And We Converted Both Their Gardens Into (Such) Gardens As Bearing Sour And Bitter Fruit And Tamarisks And A Few Lote-Trees.

Quran Surah 34 Ayah 17:
So We Paid Them Back For Their Disbelief And Ingratitude. And We Award (Such) Punishment To None Except The Highly Ungrateful.

Quran Surah 34 Ayah 18:
And We Set Up Prominent (And) Adjacent Settlements Between The Dwellers, And Those Towns That We Had Blessed (On The Yemen-Syria Highway), And We Had Placed Between Them Stopover Areas (For Rest), Whilst Travelling Up And Down, That You May Move Between Them By Night And By Day In Peace And Security.

Quran Surah 34 Ayah 19:
Then They Said: ‘O Our Lord, Place Between Our Break-Journey Points Longer Distances.’ And They Wronged Their Souls. So We Made Them Tales (For A Lesson Of Warning). And We Disintegrated Them Into Pieces And Scattered Them. Surely, There Are Signs In It For Every Extremely Patient And Highly Thankful Person.
