Para:29 Ayat:- 19-35
70:19
اِنَّ الۡاِنۡسَانَ خُلِقَ ہَلُوۡعًا ﴿ۙ۱۹﴾
Indeed, mankind was created anxious:
Man is Impatient. Allah informs about man and his inclination to corrupt his behavior.
Allah says,
إِنَّ الاِْنسَانَ خُلِقَ هَلُوعًا
Verily, man was created very impatient;
Then, Allah explains this statement by saying,
إِذَا مَسَّهُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوعًا
70:20
اِذَا مَسَّہُ الشَّرُّ جَزُوۡعًا ﴿ۙ۲۰﴾
When evil touches him, impatient,
Apprehensive when evil touches him;
meaning, whenever any harm touches him he is frightful, worried and completely taken back due to the severity of his terror and his despair that he will receive any good after it.
وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ الْخَيْرُ مَنُوعًا
70:21
وَّ اِذَا مَسَّہُ الۡخَیۡرُ مَنُوۡعًا ﴿ۙ۲۱﴾
And when good touches him, withholding [of it],
And suppressive when good touches him.
meaning, if he attains any blessing from Allah, he is stingy with it, not sharing it with others. He will withhold the right of Allah with that blessing.
Imam Ahmad said that Abu Abdur-Rahman informed them that Musa bin Ali bin Rabah told them that he heard his father narrating from Abdul-Aziz bin Marwan bin Al-Hakim that he heard Abu Hurayrah saying,” The Messenger of Allah said,
شَرُّ مَا فِي رَجُلٍ شُحٌّ هَالِعٌ وَجُبْنٌ خَالِع
The worst thing that can be in a man is greedy impatience and unrestrained cowardice.
Abu Dawud recorded this Hadith from `Abdullah bin Al-Jarrah on the authority of Abu Abdur-Rahman Al-Muqri’, and this is the only Hadith through Abdul-`Aziz with him.
The Exclusion of Those Who pray from what has preceded and an Explanation of Their Deeds and Their Prayer
Then Allah says,
إِلاَّ الْمُصَلِّينَ
70:22
اِلَّا الۡمُصَلِّیۡنَ ﴿ۙ۲۲﴾
Except the observers of prayer –
Except those who are devoted to Salah.
meaning, man is described with blameworthy characteristics except for He whom Allah protects, helps and guides to good, making its means easy for him — and these are those people who perform Salah.
الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَتِهِمْ دَايِمُونَ
70:23
الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ عَلٰی صَلَاتِہِمۡ دَآئِمُوۡنَ ﴿۪ۙ۲۳﴾
Those who are constant in their prayer
Those who with their Salah are Da’imun;
It has been said that this means they guard its times and the elements obligatory in it.
This has been said by Ibn Mas`ud, Masruq and Ibrahim An-Nakha`i.
It has also been said that it means tranquility and humble concentration (in the prayer).
This is similar to Allah’s statement,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُوْمِنُونَ
الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى صَلَتِهِمْ خَـشِعُونَ
Successful indeed are the believers. Those who with their Salah are Khashi`un. (23:1-2)
This was said by `Uqbah bin `Amir.
From its meanings, is the same terminology used to describe standing (still) water (Al-Ma’ Ad-Da’im). This proves the obligation of having tranquility in the prayer. For verily, the one who does not have tranquility (stillness of posture) in his bowing and prostrating, then he is not being constant (Da’im) in his prayer. This is because he is not being still in it and he does not remain (in its positions), rather he pecks in it (quickly) like the pecking of the crow. Therefore, he is not successful in performing his prayer.
It has also been said that the meaning here refers to those who perform a deed and are constant in its performance and consistent in it. This is like the Hadith that has been recorded in the Sahih on the authority of `A’ishah that the Messenger of Allah said,
أَحَبُّ الاَْعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَل
The most beloved deeds to Allah are those that are most consistent, even if they are few.
Then Allah says,
وَالَّذِينَ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ حَقٌّ مَّعْلُومٌ
70:24
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ فِیۡۤ اَمۡوَالِہِمۡ حَقٌّ مَّعۡلُوۡمٌ ﴿۪ۙ۲۴﴾
And those within whose wealth is a known right
لِّلسَّايِلِ وَالْمَحْرُومِ
70:25
لِّلسَّآئِلِ وَ الۡمَحۡرُوۡمِ ﴿۪ۙ۲۵﴾
For the petitioner and the deprived –
And those in whose wealth there is a recognized right. For the one who asks, and for the deprived.
meaning, in their wealth is a determined portion for those who are in need.
Concerning Allah’s statement,
وَالَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
70:26
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ یُصَدِّقُوۡنَ بِیَوۡمِ الدِّیۡنِ ﴿۪ۙ۲۶﴾
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense
And those who believe in the Day of Recompense.
meaning, they are sure of the Final Return (to Allah), the Reckoning and the Recompense. Therefore, they perform the deeds of one who hopes for the reward and fears the punishment.
For this reason Allah says,
وَالَّذِينَ هُم مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّهِم مُّشْفِقُونَ
70:27
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّہِمۡ مُّشۡفِقُوۡنَ ﴿ۚ۲۷﴾
And those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord
And those who fear the torment of their Lord.
meaning, they are fearful and dreadful.
إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّهِمْ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ
70:28
اِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّہِمۡ غَیۡرُ مَاۡمُوۡنٍ ﴿۲۸﴾
Indeed, the punishment of their Lord is not that from which one is safe –
Verily, the torment of their Lord is that before which none can feel secure.
meaning, no one is safe from it (Allah’s torment) of those who understand the command from Allah, except by the security of Allah Himself.
Then Allah says,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ
70:29
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ لِفُرُوۡجِہِمۡ حٰفِظُوۡنَ ﴿ۙ۲۹﴾
And those who guard their private parts
And those who guard their private part (chastity).
meaning, they keep their private parts away from that which is forbidden and they prevent their private parts from being put into other than what Allah has allowed them to be in.
This is why Allah says
70:30
اِلَّا عَلٰۤی اَزۡوَاجِہِمۡ اَوۡ مَا مَلَکَتۡ اَیۡمَانُہُمۡ فَاِنَّہُمۡ غَیۡرُ مَلُوۡمِیۡنَ ﴿ۚ۳۰﴾
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed –
إِلاَّ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ
Except from their wives or their right hand possessions,
meaning, from their female slaves.
فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاء ذَلِكَ فَأُوْلَيِكَ هُمُ الْعَادُونَ
70:31
فَمَنِ ابۡتَغٰی وَرَآءَ ذٰلِکَ فَاُولٰٓئِکَ ہُمُ الۡعٰدُوۡنَ ﴿ۚ۳۱﴾
But whoever seeks beyond that, then they are the transgressors –
for (then) they are not blameworthy.
But whosoever seeks beyond that, then it is those who are trespassers.
The explanation of this has already preceded at the beginning of Surah Al-Mu’minun, and therefore does not need to be repeated here.
Allah said,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لاِاَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَعَهْدِهِمْ رَاعُونَ
70:32
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ لِاَمٰنٰتِہِمۡ وَ عَہۡدِہِمۡ رٰعُوۡنَ ﴿۪ۙ۳۲﴾
And those who are to their trusts and promises attentive
And those who keep their trusts and covenants.
meaning, if they are given a trust they do not deceit and when they make a covenant they do not break it.
These are the characteristics of the believers which are opposite of the characteristics of the hypocrites.
This is like what is reported in the authentic Hadith,
ايَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اوْتُمِنَ خَان
The signs of the hypocrites are three.
– When he speaks he lies,
– when he promises he breaks his promise,
– and when he is given a trust he behaves treacherously (with it).
In another narration it states,
إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَر
– When he speaks he lies,
– when he makes a covenant he breaks it,
– and when he argues he is abusive.
Concerning Allah’s statement,
وَالَّذِينَ هُم بِشَهَادَاتِهِمْ قَايِمُونَ
70:33
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ بِشَہٰدٰتِہِمۡ قَآئِمُوۡنَ ﴿۪ۙ۳۳﴾
And those who are in their testimonies upright
And those who stand firm in their testimonies.
This means that they guard their testimonies. They do not add or decrease from what they testify to nor do they conceal their testimonies. Allah says in another Ayah,
وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ ءَاثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ
Who hides it, surely, his heart is sinful. (2:283)
Then Allah says,
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ
70:34
وَ الَّذِیۡنَ ہُمۡ عَلٰی صَلَاتِہِمۡ یُحَافِظُوۡنَ ﴿ؕ۳۴﴾
And those who [carefully] maintain their prayer:
And those who are with their Salah, Yuhafizun.
meaning, they maintain its proper times, its pillars, its obligations and its recommended acts.
So Allah begins this discussion (of the believers’ attributes) with prayer and He concludes it with prayer. This proves the importance of it and the praise of its noble status, just as what preceded at the beginning of Surah Al-Mu’minun. It is exactly the same discussion. This is why Allah says there (in Al-Mu’minun),
أُوْلَـيِكَ هُمُ الْوَرِثُونَ
الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـلِدُونَ
These are indeed the inheritors. Who shall inherit the Firdaws (Paradise). They shall dwell therein forever. (23:10-11)
And He says here,
أُوْلَيِكَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ مُّكْرَمُونَ
70:35
اُولٰٓئِکَ فِیۡ جَنّٰتٍ مُّکۡرَمُوۡنَ ﴿ؕ٪۳۵﴾
They will be in gardens, honored.
Such shall dwell in the Gardens, honored.
meaning, they will be honored with various types of pleasures and delights
