In today's episode of our
tafseer will be on what the NABI'' called
mu'awwidathayn and that
includes three soorahs from the Holy Quran.
These
soorahs are;
SURAH AN NAS
SURAH AL FALAQ
SURAH AL IKHLAS
Which were all revealed in Al-Madinah as our
able scholars have said and its moving on from generation to generation.
The revelations on the above
mentioned soorahs can be referred from.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir,Al-Falaq
and An-Naas, Which were revealed in Al-Madinah
THE VIRTUES OF AL FALAQ &
AN NAS
In his Sahih, Muslim recorded
on the authority of `Uqbah bin `Amir that the Messenger of Allah said, (Do you not see that there have been Ayat
revealed to me tonight the like of which has not been seen before) They are
(Say: "I seek refuge with, the Lord of
Al-Falaq.'')(113:1) and;
(Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.'')
(114:1)) This Hadith was recorded by Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i.
At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih.''
LET'S TAKE A SHARP LOOK AT THIS NARRATION TOO
Imam Ahmad recorded from
`Uqbah bin `Amir that he said, "While I was leading the Messenger of Allah
along one of these paths he said,
(O `Uqbah! Will you not ride) I was afraid that this
might be considered an act of disobedience. So the Messenger of Allah got down
and I rode for a while. Then he rode. Then he said,
(O `Uqbah! Should I not teach you two Surahs that are
of the best two Surahs that the people recite) I said, `Of course, O Messenger
of Allah.' So he taught me to recite
(Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of
Al-Falaq.'') (113:1) and
(Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.'')
(114:1) Then the call was given to begin the prayer and the Messenger of Allah
went forward (to lead the people), and he recited them in the prayer.
Afterwards he passed by me and said,
(What do you think, O `Uqayb Recite these two Surahs
whenever you go to sleep and whenever you get up.)''
An-Nasa'i and Abu Dawud both
recorded this Hadith.
An-Nasa'i recorded that Ibn
`Abis Al-Juhani said that the Prophet said to him,
(O Ibn `Abis! Shall I guide you to -- or inform you --
of the best thing that those who seek protection use for protection) He
replied, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah!'' The Prophet said,
(Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of
Al-Falaq.'')( and (Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.'')( These
two Surahs (are the best protection).) Imam Malik recorded from `A'ishah that
whenever the Messenger of Allah was suffering from an ailment, he would recite
the Mu`awwidhatayn over himself and blow (over himself). Then if his pain
became severe, `A'ishah said that she would recite the Mu`awwidhatayn over him
and take his hand and wipe it over himself seeking the blessing of those
Surahs. Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah all recorded this
Hadith.
It has been reported from Abu
Sa`id that the Messenger of Allah used to seek protection against the evil eyes
of the Jinns and mankind. But when the Mu`awwi- dhatayn were revea- led, he
used them (for protection) and aban- doned all else besides them. At-Tirmidhi,
An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah recorded this. At-Tirmidhi said, "This Hadith is
Hasan Sahih.''
(In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful.
(1. Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of
Al-Falaq,'') (2. "From the evil of what He has created,'') (3. "And
from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab,'') (4. "And from the evil of the
blowers in knots,'') (5. "And from the evil of the envier when he
envies.'') Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Jabir said, "Al-Falaq is the
morning.'' Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas, "Al-Falaq is the morning.''
The same has been reported from Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, `Abdullah bin
Muhammad bin `Aqil, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi and Ibn
Zayd. Malik also reported a similar statement from Zayd bin Aslam. Al-Qurazi,
Ibn Zayd and Ibn Jarir all said, "This is like Allah's saying,
(He is the Cleaver of the daybreak.).'' (6:96) Allah
said,
(From the evil of what He has created,) This means from
the evil of all created things. Thabit Al-Bunani and Al-Hasan Al-Basri both
said, "Hell, Iblis and his progeny, from among that which He (Allah)
created.''
(And from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab,) Mujahid
said, "Ghasiq is the night, and `when it Waqab' refers to the setting of
the sun.'' Al-Bukhari mentioned this from him. Ibn Abi Najih also reported a
similar narration from him (Mujahid).
The same was said by Ibn
`Abbas, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, Ad-Dahhak, Khusayf, Al-Hasan and Qatadah.
They said, "Verily, it is the night
when it advances with its darkness.'' Az-Zuhri said,
(And from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab,)
"This means the sun when it sets.'' Abu Al-Muhazzim reported that Abu
Hurayrah said,
(And from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab, )
"This means the star.'' Ibn Zayd said, "The Arabs used to say,
`Al-Ghasiq is the declination (of the position) of the heavenly body known as
Pleiades. The number of those who were ill and stricken with plague would
increase whenever it would decline, and their number would lessen whenever it
rose.'''
Ibn Jarir said, "Others have said that it is the
moon.''
The support for the people who hold this position
(that it means the moon) is a narration that Imam Ahmad recorded from Al-Harith
bin Abi Salamah. He said that `A'ishah said, "The Messenger of Allah took
me by my hand and showed me the moon when it rose, and he said,
(Seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this Ghasiq
when it becomes dark.)'' At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i both recorded this Hadith in
their Books of Tafsir in their Sunans. Allah said,
(And from the evil of the blowers in knots,) Mujahid,
`Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak all said, "This means the
witches.'' Mujahid said, "When they perform their spells and blow into the
knots.''
In another Hadith it has been
reported that Jibril came to the Prophet and said, "Are you suffering from
any ailment, O Muhammad'' The Prophet replied,
(Yes.) So Jibril said,
"In the Name of Allah, I recite prayer (Ruqyah) over you, from
This is the well that I saw. It was as if its
water had henna soaked in it and its palm trees were like the heads of devils.)
So he removed it (of the well). Then I (`A'ishah) said, `Will you not make this
public' He replied,
(Allah has cured me and I hate to spread (the news of)
wickedness to any of the people.)''
In the Name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
It is confirmed in the Sahih
t(1. Say: "I seek refuge with the
Lord of An-Nas,'') (2. "The King of An-Nas,'') (3. "The God of
An-Nas,'') (4. "From the evil of the whisperer who withdraws.'') (5.
"Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.'') (6. "Of Jinn and
An-Nas.'') These are three attributes from the attributes of the Lord, the
Mighty and Majestic. They are lordship, sovereignty and divinity. Thus, He is
the Lord of everything, the King of everything and the God of everything. All
things are created by Him, owned by Him, and subservient to Him. Therefore, He
commands whoever is seeking protection to seek refuge with the One Who has
these attributes from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws. This (the
whisperer) is the devil that is assigned to man. For verily, there is not any
of the Children of Adam except that he has a companion that beautifies wicked
deeds for him. This devil will go to any lengths to confuse and confound him.
The only person who is safe is He Whom Allah protects.
That he (the Prophet ) said,
(There is not a single one of you except that his
companion (a devil) has been assigned to him.) They (the Companions) said,
"What about you, O Messenger of Allah'' He replied,
(Yes. However, Allah has helped me against him and he
has accepted Islam. Thus, he only commands me to do good.) It is also confirmed
in the Two Sahihs from Anas, who reported the story of Safiyyah when she came
to visit the Prophet while he was performing I`tikaf, that he went out with her
during the night to walk her back to her house. So, two men from the Ansar met
him (on the way). When they saw the Prophet , they began walking swiftly. So,
the Messenger of Allah said,
(Slow down! This is Safiyyah bint Huyay!) They said,
"Glory be to Allah, O Messenger of Allah!'' He said,
(Verily, Shaytan runs in the Son of Adam like the
running of the blood. And verily, I feared that he might cast something into
your hearts -- or he said -- evil.) Sa`id bin Jubayr reported that Ibn `Abbas
said concerning Allah's statement,
(The whisperer (Al-Waswas) who withdraws.) "The
devil who is squatting (perched) upon the heart of the Son of Adam. So when he
becomes absentminded and heedless he whispers. Then, when he remembers Allah he
withdraws.'' Mujahid and Qatadah also said this.
Al-Mu`tamir bin
Sulayman reported that his father said, "It has been mentioned to me that
Shaytan is Al-Waswas. He blows into the heart of the Son of Adam when he is sad
and when he is happy. But when he (man) remembers Allah, Shaytan withdraws.''
Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas;
(The whisperer.) "He is Shaytan. He whispers and
then when he is obeyed, he withdraws.'' As for Allah's saying;
(Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.) Is this
specific for the Children of Adam as is apparent, or is it general, including
both mankind and Jinns
There are two views
concerning this. This is because they (the Jinns) are also included in the
usage of the word An-Nas (the people) in most cases.
Ibn Jarir said, "The phrase Rijalun min Al-Jinn (Men
from the Jinns) has been used in reference to them, so it is not strange for
the word An-Nas to be applied to them also.'' Then Allah says,
(Of Jinn and
An-Nas.) Is this explanatory of Allah's statement,
(Who whispers in the breasts of An-Nas.) Then, Allah
explains this by saying,
(Of Jinn and An-Nas.) This is supportive of the second
view. It has also been said that Allah's saying,
(Of Jinn and An-Nas) is an explanation of who is it
that whispers into the breasts of mankind from the devils of mankind and Jinns.
This is similar to Allah's saying,
o(And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies
-- Shayatin among mankind and Jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech
as a delusion.) (6:112) Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "A man
came to the Prophet and said, `O Messenger of Allah! Sometimes I say things to
myself that I would rather fall from the sky than say (aloud openly). ' The Prophet said,
(Allah is Most Great! Allah is Most Great! All praise
is due to Allah Who sent his (Shaytan's) plot back as only a whisper.)'' Abu
Dawud and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith.
This is the end of the
Tafsir. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.

SURAT AL IKHLAS IS THE 112
CHAPTER OF THE NOBLE QURAN AND WAS REVEALED IN MAKKAH
THE REASON FOR IT'S REVELATION AND
VIRTUES
Imam Ahmad recorded from
Ubayy bin Ka`b that the idolators said to the Prophet , "O Muhammad! Tell
us the lineage of your Lord.'' So Allah revealed
(Say: "He is Allah, One.
Allah He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is non comparable to
Him.'') Similar was recorded by At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir and they added in
their narration that he said,
"(As-Samad) is One Who
does not give birth, nor was He born, because there is nothing that is born
except that it will die, and there is nothing that dies except that it leaves
behind inheritance, and indeed Allah does not die and He does not leave behind
any inheritance.
(And there is none comparable
to Him.) This means that there is none similar to Him, none equal to Him and
there is nothing at all like Him.'' Ibn Abi Hatim also recorded it and
At-Tirmidhi mentioned it as a Mursal narration. Then At-Tirmidhi said,
"And this is the most correct.''
A HADITH THAT MENTIONS SAYS
THAT RHIS SOORAH IS EQUIVALENT TO A (3RD) THIRD OF THE QUR'AN
Al-Bukhari recorded from Abu
Sa`id that a man heard another man reciting
(Say: "He is Allah,
One.'') and he was repeating over and over. So when morning came, the man went
to the Prophet and mentioned that to him, and it was as though he was
belittling it. The Prophet said,
(By He in Whose Hand is my
soul, verily it is equivalent to a third of the Qur'an.) Abu Dawud and
An-Nasa'i also recorded it. Another Hadith Al-Bukhari recorded from Abu Sa`id,
may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said to his
Companions,
(Is one of you not able to
recite a third of the Qur'an in a single night) This was something that was
difficult for them and they said, "Which of us is able to do that, O
Messenger of Allah'' So he replied,
("Allah is the One,
As-Samad'' is a third of the Qur'an.) Al-Bukhari was alone in recording this
Hadith.
A Hadith about repeating this
Surah
`Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad
recorded from Mu`adh bin `Abdullah bin Khubayb, who reported that his father
said, "We became thirsty and it had become dark while we were waiting for
the Messenger of Allah to lead us in prayer. Then, when he came out he took me
by my hand and said,
(Say.) Then he was silent.
Then he said again,
(Say.) So I said, `What
should I say' He said,
(Say: "He is Allah,
One,'' and the two Surahs of Refuge (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) when you enter upon
the evening and the morning three times (each). They will be sufficient for you
two times every day.)'' This Hadith was also recorded by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi
and An-Nasa'i. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih Gharib.'' An-Nasa'i also
recorded through another chain of narrators with the wording,
(They will suffice you
against everything.)
Another Hadith that its Recitation necessitates
Admission
Another Hadith that its
Recitation necessitates Admission into Paradise
Imam Malik bin Anas recorded
from `Ubayd bin Hunayn that he heard Abu Hurayrah saying, "I went out with
the Prophet and he heard a man reciting `Say: He is Allah, the One.' So the
Messenger of Allah said,
(It is obligatory.) I asked,
`What is obligatory' He replied,
(Paradise.)'' At-Tirmidhi and
An-Nasa'i also recorded it by way of Malik, and At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan
Sahih Gharib. We do not know of it except as a narration of Malik.'' The Hadith
in which the Prophet said,
(Your love of it will cause
you to enter Paradise.) has already been mentioned.
An-Nasa'i recorded that Ibn `Abis Al-Juhani
said that the Prophet said to him,
(O Ibn `Abis! Shall I guide
you to -- or inform you -- of the best thing that those who seek protection use
for protection) He replied, "Of course, O Messenger of Allah!'' The
Prophet said,
(Say: "I seek refuge
with the Lord of Al-Falaq.'')( and (Say: "I seek refuge with the Lord of
mankind.'')( These two Surahs (are the best protection).) Imam Malik recorded
from `A'ishah that whenever the Messenger of Allah was suffering from an
ailment, he would recite the Mu`awwidhatayn over himself and blow (over
himself). Then if his pain became severe, `A'ishah said that she would recite
the Mu`awwidhatayn over him and take his hand and wipe it over himself seeking
the blessing of those Surahs. Al-Bukhari, Abu Dawud, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah
all recorded this Hadith.
: It has been reported from
Abu Sa`id that the Messenger of Allah used to seek protection against the evil
eyes of the Jinns and mankind. But when the Mu`awwi- dhatayn were revea- led,
he used them (for protection) and aban- doned all else besides them.
At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah recorded this. At-Tirmidhi said,
"This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.''
(In the Name of Allah, the
Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(1. Say: "I seek refuge
with the Lord of Al-Falaq,'') (2. "From the evil of what He has
created,'') (3. "And from the evil of the Ghasiq when Waqab,'') (4.
"And from the evil of the blowers in knots,'') (5. "And from the evil
of the envier when he envies.'') Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Jabir said,
"Al-Falaq is the morning.'' Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas,
"Al-Falaq is the morning.'' The same has been reported from Mujahid, Sa`id
bin Jubayr, `Abdullah bin Muhammad bin `Aqil, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Muhammad bin
Ka`b Al-Qurazi and Ibn Zayd. Malik also reported a similar statement from Zayd
bin Aslam. Al-Qurazi, Ibn Zayd and Ibn Jarir all said, "This is like
Allah's saying,
(He is the Cleaver of the
daybreak.).'' (6:96) Allah said,
(From the evil of what He has
created,) This means from the evil of all created things. Thabit Al-Bunani and
Al-Hasan Al-Basri both said, "Hell, Iblis and his progeny, from among that
which He (Allah) created.''
(And from the evil of the
Ghasiq when Waqab,) Mujahid said, "Ghasiq is the night, and `when it
Waqab' refers to the setting of the sun.'' Al-Bukhari mentioned this from him.
Ibn Abi Najih also reported a similar narration from him (Mujahid).
The same was said by Ibn
`Abbas, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, Ad-Dahhak, Khusayf, Al-Hasan and Qatadah.
They said, "Verily, it is the night when it advances with its darkness.''
Az-Zuhri said,
(And from the evil of the
Ghasiq when Waqab,) "This means the sun when it sets.'' Abu Al-Muhazzim
reported that Abu Hurayrah said,
(And from the evil of the Ghasiq
when Waqab, ) "This means the star.'' Ibn Zayd said, "The Arabs used
to say, `Al-Ghasiq is the declination (of the position) of the heavenly body
known as Pleiades. The number of those who were ill and stricken with plague
would increase whenever it would decline, and their number would lessen
whenever it rose.'''

have said that it is the moon.''
The support for the people
who hold this position (that it means the moon) is a narration that Imam Ahmad
recorded from Al-Harith bin Abi Salamah. He said that `A'ishah said, "The
Messenger of Allah took me by my hand and showed me the moon when it rose, and
he said,
(Seek refuge with Allah from the evil of this
Ghasiq when it becomes dark.)'' At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i both recorded this
Hadith in their Books of Tafsir in their Sunans. Allah said,
(And from the evil of the
blowers in knots,) Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak all said,
"This means the witches.'' Mujahid said, "When they perform their
spells and blow into the knots.''
In another Hadith it has been
reported that Jibril came to the Prophet and said, "Are you suffering from
any ailment, O Muhammad'' The Prophet replied,
(Yes.) So Jibril said,
"In the Name of Allah, I recite prayer (Ruqyah) over you, from every
illness that harms you, from the evil of every envious person and evil eye. May
Allah cure you.''
A HADITH ON IT'S VIRTUES
Al-Bukhari reported from
`Amrah bint `Abdur-Rahman, who used to stay in the apartment of `A'ishah, the
wife of the Prophet , that `A'ishah said, "The Prophet sent a man as the
commander of a war expedition and he used to lead his companions in prayer with
recitation (of the Qur'an). And he would complete his recitation with the
recitation of `Say: He is Allah, One.' So when they returned they mentioned
that to the Prophet and he said,
(Ask him why does he do
that.) So they asked him and he said, `Because it is the description of
Ar-Rahman and I love to recite it. So the Prophet said,
(Inform him that Allah the
Most High loves him.)'' This is how Al-Bukhari recorded this Hadith in his Book
of Tawhid. Muslim and An-Nasa'i also recorded it. In his Book of Salah,
Al-Bukhari recorded that Anas said, "A man from the Ansar used to lead the
people in prayer in the Masjid of Quba'. Whenever he began a Surah in the
recitation of the prayer that he was leading them, he would start by reciting
`Say: He is Allah, One' until he completed the entire Surah. Then he would
recite another Surah along with it (after it). And used to do this in every
Rak`ah. So his companions spoke to him about this saying; `Verily, you begin
the prayer with this Surah. Then you think that it is not sufficient for you
unless you recite another Surah as well. So you should either recite it or
leave it and recite another Surah instead.' The man replied, `I will not leave
it off. If you want me to continue leading you (in prayer), I will do this; and
if you all do not like it, I will leave you (i.e., I will stop leading you).'
They used to consider him to be of the best of them to lead them in prayer and
they did not want anyone else to lead them other than him. So, when the Prophet
came they informed him of this information and he said,
(O so-and-so! What prevents you from doing
what your companions are commanding you to do, and what makes you adhere to the
recitation of this Surah in every Rak`ah) The man said, `Verily, I love it.'
The Prophet replied,
(Your love of it will cause
you to enter Paradise.) This was recorded by Al-Bukhari, with a disconnected
chain, but in a manner indicating his approval.
Abdullah bin Imam Ahmad recorded from Mu`adh
bin `Abdullah bin Khubayb, who reported that his father said, "We became
thirsty and it had become dark while we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah
to lead us in prayer. Then, when he came out he took me by my hand and said,
(Say.) Then he was silent.
Then he said again,
(Say.) So I said, `What should
I say' He said,
(Say: "He is Allah,
One,'' and the two Surahs of Refuge (Al-Falaq and An-Nas) when you enter upon
the evening and the morning three times (each). They will be sufficient for you
two times every day.)'' This Hadith was also recorded by Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi
and An-Nasa'i. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih Gharib.'' An-Nasa'i also
recorded through another chain of narrators with the wording,
(They will suffice you
against everything.)
Hadith about seeking a Cure by these Surahs
Al-Bukhari recorded from
`A'ishah that whenever the Prophet would go to bed every night, he would put
his palms together and blow into them. Then he would recite into them (his
palms), `Say: He is Allah, One', `Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of
Al-Falaq', and `Say: I seek refuge with the Lord of mankind.' Then he would
wipe whatever he was able to of his body with them (his palms). He would begin
wiping his head and face with them and the front part of his body. He would do
this (wiping his body) three times. The Sunan compilers also recorded this same
Hadith.
In the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful.
(1. Say: "He is Allah,
One.'') (2. "Allah As-Samad.'') (3. "He begets not, nor was He
begotten.'') (4. "And there is none comparable to Him.'') The reason for
the revelation of this Surah has already been mentioned. `Ikrimah said,
"When the Jews said, `We worship `Uzayr, the son of Allah,' and the
Christians said, `We worship the Messiah (`Isa), the son of Allah,' and the
Zoroastrians said, `We worship the sun and the moon,' and the idolators said,
`We worship idols,' Allah revealed to His Messenger ,
: (Say: "He is Allah,
One.'') meaning, He is the One, the Singular, Who has no peer, no assistant, no
rival, no equal and none comparable to Him. This word (Al-Ahad) cannot be used
for anyone in affirmation except Allah the Mighty and Majestic, because He is
perfect in all of His attributes and actions. Concerning His saying,
(Allah As-Samad.) `Ikrimah
reported that Ibn `Abbas said, "This means the One Who all of the creation
depends upon for their needs and their requests.'' `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported
from Ibn `Abbas, "He is the Master Who is perfect in His sovereignty, the
Most Noble Who is perfect in His nobility, the Most Magnificent Who is perfect
in His magnificence, the Most Forbearing Who is perfect in His forbearance, the
All-Knowing Who is perfect in His knowledge, and the Most Wise Who is perfect
in His wisdom. He is the One Who is perfect in all aspects of nobility and
authority. He is Allah, glory be unto Him. These attributes are not befitting
anyone other than Him. He has no coequal and nothing is like Him. Glory be to
Allah, the One, the Irresistible.'' Al-A`mash reported from Shaqiq, who said
that Abu Wa'il said,
(As-Samad.) is the Master
Whose control is complete.''
Allah is Above having
Children and procreating
Then Allah says,
(He begets not, nor was He
begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.) meaning, He does not have any
child, parent or spouse. Mujahid said,
(And there is none comparable
to Him.) "This means He does not have a spouse.'' This is as Allah says,
(He is the Originator of the
heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife He created
all things.) (6:101) meaning, He owns everything and He created everything. So
how can He have a peer among His creatures who can be equal to Him, or a
relative who can resemble Him Glorified, Exalted and far removed is Allah from
such a thing. Allah says,
(And they say: Ar-Rahman has
begotten a son. Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing.
Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the
mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son to Ar-Rahman. But it is not
suitable for Ar-Rahman that He should beget a son. There is none in the heavens
and the earth but comes unto Ar-Rahman as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of
them, and has counted them a full counting. And all of them will come to Him
alone on the Day of Resurrection.) (19:88-95) And Allah says,
(And they say:
"Ar-Rahman has begotten a son. Glory to Him! They are but honored servants.
They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His command.) (21:26-27)
Allah also says,
(And they have invented a
kinship between Him and the Jinn, but the Jinn know well that they have indeed
to appear before Him. Glorified is Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute
unto Him!) (37:158-159) In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded (that that the
Prophet said),
(There is no one more patient
with something harmful that he hears than Allah. They attribute a son to Him,
while it is He Who gives them sustenance and cures them.) Al-Bukhari also
recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said (Allah the Mighty and Majestic
says, "The Son of Adam denies Me and he has no right to do so, and he
abuses Me and he has no right to do so. In reference to his denial of Me, it is
his saying: `He (Allah) will never re-create me like He created me before.' But
the re-creation of him is easier than his original creation. As for his cursing
Me, it is his saying: `Allah has taken a son.' But I am the One, the Self-Sufficient
Master. I do not give birth, nor was I born, and there is none comparable to
Me.'') This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Ikhlas, and all praise and
blessings are due to Allah.
