🕋 تفسير سورة المزمل
(Al-Muzzammil) • المصدر: EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ
📘 And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said concerning Allah's saying (O thou wrapped up in your raiment!): '(O thou wrapped up in your raiment!) He is referring here to Muhammad (pbuh) who wrapped himself up in his raiment in order to pray.
وَاصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا
📘 (And bear with patience) O Muhammad (what they utter) of vilification and denial, (and part from them with a fair leave-taking) steer clear of them in a fair way, neither grieving nor reciprocating with indecency.
وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا
📘 (Leave Me to deal with the deniers) of the Qur'an-this is a threat to them; and the ones specifically meant by this threat are those who fed the army of the disbelievers on the Day of Badr-, (lords of ease and comfort (in this life)) those who have wealth and richness; (and do thou respite them awhile) until the Day of Badr.
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا
📘 (Lo! with Us) for them in the Hereafter (are heavy fetters) with which their hands will be tied to their necks and chains will also be put around their necks (and a raging fire) which they will enter,
وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
📘 (And food) the Zaqqum (which choketh (the partaker), and a painful doom) whose pain will extend to their hearts.
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ الْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَهِيلًا
📘 Then Allah explained when this will take place, saying: (On the day when the earth and the hills rock) on the day when the earth and the mountains will quake, (and the hills become a heap of running sand.
إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَاهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا
📘 Lo! We have sent unto you a messenger) i.e. Muhammad (pbuh) (as witness against you) that he has conveyed the message, (even as We sent unto Pharaoh a messenger) i.e. Moses.
فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ الرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا
📘 (But Pharaoh rebelled against the messenger) i.e. Moses, and did not accept his call, (whereupon We seized him with no gentle grip) therefore We punished him with a severe punishment, i.e. by drowning.
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ الْوِلْدَانَ شِيبًا
📘 (Then how) will you ward off disbelief, idolatry and indecencies, O people of Mecca (if ye disbelieve) in the life of the world, (will ye protect yourselves upon the day) the Day of Judgement (which will turn children grey) when they hear Allah say to Adam: �O Adam! Send a group from your progeny to the Fire�. Adam will say: �O Lord! How many?� Allah will say: �From every one thousand, send 999 to the Fire and one person to the Garden�,
السَّمَاءُ مُنْفَطِرٌ بِهِ ۚ كَانَ وَعْدُهُ مَفْعُولًا
📘 (The very heaven being then) when the children turn grey; and it is said: due to the descent of the command of the Lord and the angels (rent asunder. His promise) regarding the resurrection (is to be fulfilled) is to take place.
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ ۖ فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ سَبِيلًا
📘 (Lo! This) surah (is a Reminder) is an admonition and clarification for you. (Let him who will, then, choose a way unto his Lord) a way to head towards Allah; it is also said this means: let him who will use this to return to his Lord.
قُمِ اللَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
📘 (Keep vigil the night long) in prayer, then He said (save a little);
۞ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ اللَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُ وَثُلُثَهُ وَطَائِفَةٌ مِنَ الَّذِينَ مَعَكَ ۚ وَاللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَنْ تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ عَلَيْكُمْ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ۚ عَلِمَ أَنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنْكُمْ مَرْضَىٰ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ ۙ وَآخَرُونَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَاقْرَءُوا مَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْهُ ۚ وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَأَقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ هُوَ خَيْرًا وَأَعْظَمَ أَجْرًا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
📘 (Lo! thy Lord) O Muhammad (knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly) less than (two thirds of the night) up to half of the night, (or (sometimes) half) and sometimes you keep vigil half of the night (or a third thereof) and you keep vigil a third of the night; it is also said this means: and sometimes less than half of the night, (as do a party of those with thee) and a group of believers with you who keep vigil of the night in prayer. (Allah measureth the night and the day) Allah knows the hours of the day and night. (He knoweth that ye count it not) i.e. keep track of the hours of the night; it is also said that this means: He knows you will not be able to persevere in that which you are commanded of prayer in the night, (and turneth unto you in mercy) and so He forgives you if you do not pray at night. (Recite, then, of the Qur'an) when you perform the prayers (that which is easy for you) 100 verses and more; and it is also said this means: whatever you wish to recite of the Qur'an. (He knoweth that there are sick folk among you) wounded people among you who cannot pray at night, (while others travel in the land) fleeing from something or (in search of Allah's bounty) of Allah's provision and other things, and it is hard on them to pray at night, (and others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah) for the obedience of Allah who will find it hard to pray at night. (So recite of it) of the Qur'an in your prayers (that which is easy (for you), and establish worship) complete the five daily prayers including what is required for its validity of ritual ablution, bowings, prostrations and the observation of their due times (and pay the poor-due) from your wealth (and (so) lend unto Allah) by giving to charity; and it is also said: by doing righteous works (a goodly loan) truly and sincerely from your hearts. (Whatsoever good) alms or righteous works (ye send before you for your souls, ye will surely find it) find its reward (with Allah) in Paradise preserved for you, neither stolen, drowned, burnt or eaten by borer, (better) than what you have left in the life of the world (and greater in the recompense) than that which you have. (And seek forgiveness of Allah) from your sins. (Lo! Allah is Forgiving) He forgives whoever repents, (Merciful) towards he who dies repentant, because of the mercy of he who is enveloped in his cloak'.
نِصْفَهُ أَوِ انْقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا
📘 He explained further, saying: (A half thereof) i.e. pray during half of the night, (or abate a little thereof) less than half and up to a third of the night,
أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْآنَ تَرْتِيلًا
📘 (Or add (a little) thereto) or pray more than half of the night, up to two thirds of the night, thus giving him a choice, and then He said: (and chant the Qur'an in measure) recite the Qur'an deliberately, unhurriedly and with gravity, i.e. reciting two or three verses each time until you finish the whole recitation,
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِي عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا
📘 (For We shall charge thee) for We shall send you Gabriel (with a word of weight) with mighty words containing commands and prohibitions, promises and threats, the lawful and unlawful; it is also said this means: with a tremendous word; and it is also said this means: a word that is heavy on whoever contravenes it; and it is also said this means: a weighty word in the prayer of the night.
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ اللَّيْلِ هِيَ أَشَدُّ وَطْئًا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا
📘 (Lo! the vigil of the night) spent in praying (is (a time) when impression is more keen) the vigil of the night and praying at this time give a person more vigour in his prayer, when he seeks by it Allah's sake alone; it is also said this means: it is gentler and milder on the heart (and speech more certain) the recitation of the Qur'an is clearer and firmer.
إِنَّ لَكَ فِي النَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا
📘 (Lo! thou hast by day) O Muhammad (a chain of business) a long period of time to attend to your needs.
وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا
📘 (So remember the name of thy Lord) so pray by the command of your Lord; and it is also said this means: remember your Lord's divine Oneness (and devote thyself with a complete devotion) be completely sincere to Allah in your prayers, supplications and acts of worship.
رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا
📘 (Lord of the East and the West) is Allah; (there is no God save Him; so choose you Him alone for thy defender) worship Him as a Lord; it is also said this means: take Him as a Guardian regarding that which He promised you of help, supremacy and reward.
