(And make denial thereof your livelihood?) [56:82]. Sa'id ibn Muhammad al-Mu'adhdhin informed us>Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Hamdun> Ahmad ibn al-Hasan al-Hafiz> Hamdan al-Sulami> al-Nadr ibnMuhammad> 'Ikrimah ibn 'Ammar> Abu Zumayl> Ibn 'Abbas who said: “People were once blessed with rainat the time of the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and so the Messenger of Allah,Allah bless him and give him peace, said: 'Some people have woken up this morning as grateful people whileothers have woken up as disbelievers. The former said: This is a blessing sent by Allah, exalted is He, whilethe latter said: the prediction based on such-and-such a star has been fulfilled'. The following verse wasthen revealed (Nay, I swear by the places of the stars) [56:75] up to His words (And make denial thereofyour livelihood?)”. This is narrated by Muslim from 'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-'Azim from al-Nadr ibn Muhammad. Itwas also reported that once the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, travelled and after traversing adistance camped at a certain place. People were very thirsty but they had no water to drink. Theymentioned this to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and he said: “What if I made a prayerand you were given rain, would you say that we were given rain thanks to such-and-such a star?” They said:“O Messenger of Allah, this is not the time of stars”. The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace,prayed two units of prayer and made supplications to Allah, glorified and blessed is He. The wind eruptedand clouds appeared. Rain then poured down so much so that streams of water run down the valleys.People filled their water containers. But then the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,passed by a man who was using a goblet to ladle water. The man was saying: “We were given rain thanksto such-and-such a star”, and failed to say: “This is the sustenance of Allah, glorified is He”. Allah, glory beto Him, revealed (And make denial thereof your livelihood?). Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn 'Umar al-Zahidinformed us> Abu 'Amr Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Jizi> al-Hasan ibn Sufyan> Harmalah ibn Yahya and 'Amribn Sawwad al-Sarkhi> 'Abd Allah ibn Wahb> Yunus ibn Yazid> Ibn Shihab> 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Ubayd Allahibn 'Utbah> Abu Hurayrah who reported that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,said: “Have you not heard what your Lord has said? He said: 'I have not blessed My slaves with any bountyexcept that some of them were ungrateful. They say: The stars did this and we were given it thanks to thestars!' ” This was narrated by Muslim from Harmalah and 'Amr ibn Sawwad.
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذّبُونَ-
(75. Fala! I swear by the Mawaqi
of the stars.)
(76. And verily that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.)
(77. That (this) is indeed an honorable recitation.)
(78. In a Book Maknun.)
(79. Which none touches but the pure ones.)
(80. A revelation from the Lord of all that exists.)
(81. Is it such a talk that you are Mudhinun)
(82. And you make your provision your denial!)
The usage of La (in Fala) is not an extra character without meaning, as some of the scholars of Tafsir say. Rather it is used at the beginning of an oath when the oath is a negation. This is like when `A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her said, "La by Allah! Allah's Messenger did not touch any woman's hand at all. So in this way, the meaning is, "No! I swear by the Mawaqi` of the stars. The matter is not as you people claim - about the Qur'an - that it is a result of magic or sorcery, rather it is an Honorable Qur'an.'' Ibn Jarir said, "Some of the scholars of the Arabic language said that the meaning of:
فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ
(Fala! I swear) is, `The matter is not as you people have claimed.' Then He renews the oath again by saying, `I swear.'''
فَلاَ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَقِعِ النُّجُومِ
(Fala! I swear by the Mawaqi` of the stars.) Mujahid said, "The setting positions of the stars in the sky,'' and he said that it refers to the rising and setting positions. This was said by Al-Hasan, Qatadah and preferred by Ibn Jarir. Qatadah also said that it means their positions. Allah said,
وَإِنَّهُ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
(And verily that is indeed a great oath, if you but know.) meaning, `this is a great vow that I -- Allah -- am making; if you knew the greatness of this vow, you will know the greatness of the subject of the vow,'
إِنَّهُ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
(That (this) is indeed an honorable recitation.) means, verily, this Qur'an that was revealed to Muhammad is a Glorious Book,
فِى كِتَـبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
(In a Book Maknun.) meaning glorious; in a glorious, well-guarded, revered Book. Ibn Jarir narrated that Isma`il bin Musa said that Sharik reported from Hakim, that is Ibn Jubayr, from Sa`id bin Jubayr, from Ibn `Abbas that about:
لاَّ يَمَسُّهُ إِلاَّ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(Which none touches but the pure ones.) he said, "The Book that is in heaven.'' Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas about:
لاَّ يَمَسُّهُ إِلاَّ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(Which none touches but the pure ones.) that `the pure ones' means: "The angels.'' Similar was said by Anas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Ad-Dahhak, Abu Ash-Sha`tha' Jabir bin Zayd, Abu Nahik, As-Suddi, `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam and others. Ibn Jarir narrated that Ibn `Abdul-A`la said that Ibn Thawr said that Ma`mar said from Qatadah about:
لاَّ يَمَسُّهُ إِلاَّ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(Which none touches but the pure ones.) that he said, "None can touch it, with Allah, except the pure ones. However, in this life, the impure Zoroastrian and the filthy hypocrite touch it.'' And he said, "In the recitation of Ibn Mas`ud it is: (مَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ) (It is not touched, except by the pure ones.) Abu Al-`Aliyah said:
لاَّ يَمَسُّهُ إِلاَّ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(Which none touches but the pure ones.) "It does not refer to you, because you are sinners!'' Ibn Zayd said, "The Quraysh disbelievers claimed that the devils brought down the Qur'an. Allah the Exalted stated that only the pure ones touch the Qur'an, as He said:
وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ الشَّيَـطِينُ - وَمَا يَنبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ - إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ
(And it is not the Shayatin who have brought it down. Neither would it suit them nor they can (produce it). Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.)(26:210-212)'' This saying is a good saying, and does not contradict those before it. Allah said,
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
(A revelation from the Lord of all that exists. ) meaning this Qur'an is a revelation from the Lord of all that exists, not as they say that it is magic, sorcery or poetry. Rather it is the truth, no doubt about it; there is none beyond it of useful truth. Allah's statement,
أَفَبِهَـذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُمْ مُّدْهِنُونَ
(Is it such a talk that you are Mudhinun) Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that Mudhinun means, "You do not believe in and deny.'' Similar to this was said by Ad-Dahhak, Abu Hazrah and As-Suddi. Mujahid said,
(Mudhinun) means "You want to fill yourselves with and rely upon.''
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
(And you make your provision your denial!) some of them said that provision here has the meaning of gratitude, meaning: you deny without any gratitude. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that he recited it as: (وَتَجْعَلُونَ شُكْرَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ) (And your show of your gratitude by denying!) Ibn Jarir narrated from Muhammad bin Bashshar, who narrated from Muhammad bin Ja`far, who narrated from Shu`bah, from Abu Bishr, from Sa`id bin Jubayr who said that Ibn `Abbas said, "It has never rained upon a people except that some of them became disbelievers by saying, `Such and such position of a star sent rain!''' And Ibn `Abbas recited: (وَتَجْعَلُونَ شُكْرَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ) (And you show of your gratitude by denying.) This chain of narration is Sahih to Ibn `Abbas. In his Muwatta', Malik reported from Salih bin Kaysan, from `Ubaydullah bin `Abdullah bin `Utbah bin Mas`ud, from Zayd bin Khalid Al-Juhani who said, "The Prophet led us in the Subh (dawn) prayer at Al-Hudaybiyah after a rainy night. On completion of the prayer, he faced the congregation and said,
«هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟»
(Do you know what your Lord has said (revealed)) Those present replied, `Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said,
«قَالَ: أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ، فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ، فَذلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي، كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ، وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ: مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَذلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي وَمُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوْكَب»
(Allah has said, "During this morning some of my servants remained as true believers in Me and some became disbelievers. Whoever said that the rain was due to the blessings and the mercy of Allah, had belief in Me, and he disbelieves in the stars; and whoever said that it rained because of a particular star, had no belief in Me, but believes in that star.'')'' This Hadith is recorded in the Two Sahihs, Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i, all using a chain of narration in which Imam Malik was included. Qatadah said, "Al-Hasan used to say, `How evil is that all that some people have earned for themselves from the Book of Allah, is denying it!''' Al-Hasan's statement means that such people gained no benefit from the Book of Allah because they denied it, as Allah said:
أَفَبِهَـذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنتُمْ مُّدْهِنُونَ - وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
(Is it such a talk that you Mudhinun And you make your provision that you deny!)
