(For the taming of Quraysh…) [1-4]. This Surah was revealed about the Quraysh and the blessings thatAllah, exalted is He, had bestowed upon them. The judge Abu Bakr al-Hiri informed us> Abu Ja‘far ‘AbdAllah ibn Isma‘il al-Hashimi> Sawadah ibn ‘Ali> Ahmad ibn Abu Bakr al-Zuhri> Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibnThabit> ‘Uthman ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Atiq> Sa‘id ibn ‘Amr ibn Ja‘dah> his father> his grandmother UmmHani’ bint Abi Talib who reported that the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: “Allah hasfavoured the Quraysh with seven characteristics which he has never given to anyone before them and willnever give to anyone after them: The post of the Caliph (al-Khilafah) is given to one among them, thecustody of the Sacred House (al-Hijabah) is assumed by someone from amongst them, giving water to thepilgrims (al-Siqayah) during Hajj is undertaken by someone amongst them, prophethood is given tosomeone amongst them, they were given victory over the [army of] elephants, they worshipped Allah forseven years during which none worshipped Him, and a Surah has been revealed about them in which nonebut them was mentioned (For the taming of Quraysh…)”.
لإِيلَـفِ قُرَيْشٍ - إِيلَـفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَالصَّيْفِ - فَلْيَعْبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَـذَا الْبَيْتِ - الَّذِى أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خوْفٍ
(1. For the Ilaf of the Quraysh.)
(2. Their Ilaf caravans, in winter and in summer.)
(3. So, let them worship the Lord of this House.)
(4. Who has fed them against hunger, and has made them safe from fear.)
They (the Companions) wrote "In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful'' on the line (i.e., the space) between these two Surahs. They did this even though this Surah is directly related to the one which precedes it, as Muhammad bin Ishaq and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam have both clarified. This is because the meaning of both of them is, "We have prevented the Elephant from entering Makkah and We have destroyed its people in order to gather (Ilaf) the Quraysh, which means to unite them and bring them together safely in their city.'' It has also been said that the meaning of this (Ilaf) is what they would gather during their journey in the winter to Yemen and in the summer to Ash-Sham through trade and other than that. Then they would return to their city in safety during their journeys due to the respect that the people had for them because they were the residents of Allah's sanctuary. Therefore, whoever knew them would honor them. Even those who came to them and traveled with them, would be safe because of them. This was their situation during their journeys and travels during their winter and summer. In reference to their living in the city, then it is as Allah said,
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا حَرَماً ءامِناً وَيُتَخَطَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ
(Have they not seen that We have made it a secure sanctuary, while men are being snatched away from all around them) (29:67) Thus, Allah says,
لإِيلَـفِ قُرَيْشٍ إِيلَـفِهِمْ
(For the Ilaf of the Quraysh. Their Ilaf) This is a subject that has been transferred from the first sentence in order to give it more explanation. Thus, Allah says,
إِيلَـفِهِمْ رِحْلَةَ الشِّتَآءِ وَالصَّيْفِ
(Their Ilaf caravans, in winter and in summer.) Ibn Jarir said, "The correct opinion is that the letter Lam is a prefix that shows amazement. It is as though He (Allah) is saying, `You should be amazed at the uniting (or taming) of the Quraysh and My favor upon them in that.''' He went on to say, "This is due to the consensus of the Muslims that they are two separate and independent Surahs.'' Then Allah directs them to be grateful for this magnificent favor in His saying,
فَلْيَعْبُدُواْ رَبَّ هَـذَا الْبَيْتِ
(So, let them worship the Lord of this House.) meaning, then let them single Him out for worship, just as He has given them a safe sanctuary and a Sacred House. This is as Allah says,
إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبِّ هَذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ الَّذِى حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُ كُلُّ شَىءٍ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
(I have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this city, Who has sanctified it and to Whom belongs everything. And I am commanded to be from among the Muslims.) (27:91) Then Allah says,
الَّذِى أَطْعَمَهُم مِّن جُوعٍ
(Who has fed them against hunger,) meaning, He is the Lord of the House and He is the One Who feeds them against hunger.
وَءَامَنَهُم مِّنْ خوْفٍ
(And has made them safe from fear.) meaning, He favors them with safety and gentleness, so they should single Him out for worship alone, without any partner. They should not worship any idol, rival or statue besides Him. Therefore, whoever accepts this command, Allah will give him safety in both this life and the Hereafter. However, whoever disobeys Him, He will remove both of them from him. This is as Allah says,
وَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً قَرْيَةً كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةً مُّطْمَئِنَّةً يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ اللَّهِ فَأَذَاقَهَا اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَالْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصْنَعُونَ - وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَـلِمُونَ
(And Allah puts forward the example of a township, that dwelt secure and well-content: its provision coming to it in abundance from every place, but it denied the favors of Allah. So, Allah made it taste extreme of hunger and fear, because of that which they used to do. And verily, there had come unto them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him, so the torment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.) (16:112-113) This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Quraysh, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.

Para mufassir banyak yang menyebutkan, bahwa jaar-majrur (huruf yang mengkasrahkan dan kata yang dikasrahkan) itu terkait dengan surah sebelumnya, yakni Kami bertindak terhadap pasukan bergajah itu adalah untuk suku Qurasiy dan untuk keamanan mereka, stabilnya kemaslahatan mereka, terjaganya perjalanan mereka di musim dingin dan musim panas untuk berdagang dan berusaha. Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala telah membinasakan orang-orang yang bermaksud buruk kepada mereka, membesarkan perkara tanah haram dan penduduknya di hati orang-orang Arab sehingga mereka dihormati dan tidak ada yang melakukan tindakan buruk kepada mereka ketika mereka bersafar ke mana saja yang mereka mau, mereka mendapat jaminan keamanan dari penguasa-penguasa negeri-negeri yang dilaluinya. Ini adalah suatu nikmat yang besar dari Tuhan mereka. Oleh karena itu sudah sewajarnya mereka bersyukur kepada Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala yang telah memberikan nikmat itu kepada mereka dengan beribadah kepada-Nya dan mengikhlaskan ibadah karena-Nya.
