Transliteration:( Wa shaahidinw wa mashhood )
3.There are about thirteen explanations given of this verse: "And by the day which is a witness, and by the day they are presented," because this word is derived either from witnessed or from witness. If it is from witnessed then the word "Shaheed" denotes present and "Mashhood" is that place worthy of being presented. The Day of Friday is Shaheed, which presents itself to the believers. The Day of Arafat is Mashhood where all the pilgrims present themselves on the 9th day of Zil-Hajj. If it is from Shahadat then Shaheed would mean a witness and Mashhood would mean the thing about which testimony is given. The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is a Shaheed (the witness) and all the other Prophets and their followers are Mashhood-about whom he will bear testimony. Or, our limbs are Shaheed and we are Mashhood. The Holy Ka'bah,the Black Stone, the Holy month of Ramadaan, and the Holy Qur 'an, are all Shaheed and we are the Mashhood as these things would be our witnesses on the Day of Judgement or would be testifying against us. If it is derived from Mooshahida then Shaheed will mean the observer and Mashhood would be the thing that is being observed. The Holy Prophet is a Shaheed as on the Night of
Me'raaj he saw the Personality and the Beauteous Splendour of Allah Almighty while the Vision and Attributes of Allah Almighty are Mashhood. In short, there are many commentaries about this verse.
