THE DAY WITH
TAFSIR
Rajab 17, 1434
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ
سُوۡرَةُ الاٴنفَال
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ قُل لِّمَن فِىٓ أَيۡدِيكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَسۡرَىٰٓ إِن يَعۡلَمِ ٱللَّهُ فِى قُلُوبِكُمۡ خَيۡرً۬ا يُؤۡتِكُمۡ خَيۡرً۬ا مِّمَّآ أُخِذَ مِنڪُمۡ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ۬ رَّحِيمٌ۬ (٧٠) وَإِن يُرِيدُواْ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدۡ خَانُواْ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبۡلُ فَأَمۡكَنَ مِنۡہُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ
عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ (٧١)
I seek refuge with Allah, the Hearing, the Knowing, from the
cursed Satan, from his coercion, lures to arrogance and poems
Surah Al-Anfal
O Prophet! Say unto those captives who are in your hands: If Allah knoweth any good in your hearts He will give you better than that which hath been taken from you, and will forgive you. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (70) And if they would betray thee, they betrayed Allah before, and He gave (thee) power over them. Allah is Knower, Wise. (71)8:70-71
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ
Pagan Prisoners at Badr were promised better than what They lost, if They become Righteous in the Future
Muhammad bin Ishaq reported that Abdullah bin Abbas said that before the battle of Badr, the Messenger of Allah said,
I have come to know that some people from Bani Hashim and others were forced to accompany the pagans, although they had no desire to fight us. Therefore, whoever meets any of them (Bani Hashim), do not kill him. Whoever meets Abu Al-Bukhtari bin Hisham, should not kill him. Whoever meets Al-Abbas bin Abdul-Muttalib, let him not kill him, for he was forced to come (with the pagan army).
Abu Hudhayfah bin Utbah said, "Shall we kill our fathers, children, brothers and tribesmen (from Quraysh), and leave Al-Abbas By Allah! If I meet him, I will kill him with the sword.''
When this reached the Messenger of Allah, he said to Umar bin Al-Khattab, يَا أَبَا حَفْص O Abu Hafs!
and Umar said, "By Allah that was the first time that the Messenger of Allah called me Abu Hafs.''
Will the face of the Messenger of Allah's uncle be struck with the sword!
Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger! Give me permission to cut off his neck (meaning Abu Hudhayfah) for he has fallen into hypocrisy, by Allah!''
Ever since that happened, Abu Hudhayfah used to say, "By Allah! I do not feel safe from this statement coming back to haunt me, and I will continue to fear its repercussions, unless Allah, the Exalted, forgives me for it through martyrdom.''
Abu Hudhayfah was martyred during the battle of Al-Yamamah, may Allah be pleased with him.
Ibn Abbas said,
"On the eve after Badr, the Messenger of Allah spent the first part of the night awake, while the prisoners were bound. His Companions said to him, `O Allah's Messenger! Why do you not sleep!'
Al-Abbas had been captured by a man from Al-Ansar, and the Messenger of Allah said to them,
I heard the cries of pain from my uncle Al-Abbas, because of his shackles, so untie him.
When his uncle stopped crying from pain, Allah's Messenger went to sleep.''
In his Sahih, Al-Bukhari recorded a Hadith from Musa bin Uqbah who said that Ibn Shihab said that Anas bin Malik said that;
some men from Al-Ansar said to the Messenger of Allah, "O Allah's Messenger! Give us permission and we will set free our maternal cousin Al-Abbas without taking ransom from him.''
He said,
لَا وَاللهِ لَا تَذَرُونَ مِنْهُ دِرْهَمًا
No, by Allah! Do not leave any Dirham of it.
And from Yunus Bikkir, from Muhammad bin Ishaq, from Yazid bin Ruwman, from Urwah, from Az-Zuhri that several people said to him,
"The Quraysh sent to the Messenger of Allah concerning ransoming their prisoners, and each tribe paid what was required for their prisoners.
Al-Abbas said, `O Allah's Messenger! I became a Muslims before.'
The Messenger of Allah said,
اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِسْلَامِكَ فَإِنْ يَكُنْ كَمَا تَقُولُ فَإِنَّ اللهُ يُجْزِيكَ وَأَمَّا ظَاهِرُكَ فَقَدْ كَانَ عَلَيْنَا فَافْتَدِ نَفْسَكَ وَابْنَي أَخِيكَ نَوْفَلَ بْنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِالْمُطَّلِبِ وَعَقِيلَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِالْمُطَّلِبِ ، وَحَلِيفَكَ عُتْبَةَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو أَخِي بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْر
Allah knows if you are Muslim! If what you are claiming is true, then Allah will compensate you. As for your outward appearance, it was against us. Therefore, ransom yourself, as well as, your nephews Nawfal bin Al-Harith bin Abdul-Muttalib and Aqil bin Abu Talib bin Abdul-Muttalib, and also your ally Utbah bin `Amr, from Bani Al-Harith bin Fihr.
Al-Abbas said, `I do not have that (money), O Allah's Messenger!'
The Messenger said,
فَأَيْنَ الْمَالُ الَّذِي دَفَنْتَهُ أَنْتَ وَأُمُّ الْفَضْلِ فَقُلْتَ لَهَا: إِنْ أَصَبْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا، فَهَذَا الْمَالُ الَّذِي دَفَنْتُهُ لِبَنِي الْفَضْلِ وَعَبْدِاللهِ وَقُثَمٍ ؟
What about the wealth that you and Umm Al-Fadl buried, and you said to her, `If I am killed in this battle, then this money that I buried is for my children Al-Fadl, Abdullah and Quthm.
Al-Abbas said, `By Allah, O Allah's Messenger! I know that you are Allah's Messenger, for this is a thing that none except Umm Al-Fadl and I knew. However, O Allah's Messenger! Could you count towards my ransom the twenty Uwqiyah (pertaining to a weight) that you took from me (in the battle)'
The Messenger of Allah said,
لَا ذَاكَ شَيْءٌ أَعْطَانَا اللهُ تَعَالَى مِنْك
No, for that was money that Allah made as war spoils for us from you.
So Al-Abbas ransomed himself, his two nephews and an ally, and Allah revealed this verse,
Al-Abbas commented, `After I became Muslim, Allah gave me twenty servants in place of the twenty Uwqiyah I lost. And I hope for Allah's forgiveness.''
Al-Hafiz Abu Bakr Al-Bayhaqi recorded, that Anas bin Malik said,
"The Prophet was brought some wealth from Bahrain and said;
انْثُرُوهُ فِي مَسجِدِي
Distribute it in my Masjid,
and it was the biggest amount of goods Allah's Messenger had ever received. He left for prayer and did not even look at the goods. After finishing the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave some of it to everybody he saw. Al-Abbas came to him and said, `O Allah's Messenger! give me (something) too, because I gave ransom for myself and Aqil.'
Allah's Messenger told him to take. So he stuffed his garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so.
He said, `Order someone to help me in lifting it.'
The Prophet refused.
He then said to the Prophet, `Will you please help me to lift it!'
Allah's Messenger refused.
Then Al-Abbas dropped some of it and lifted it on his shoulders and went away.
Allah's Messenger kept on watching him till he disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Allah's Messenger did not get up until the last coin was distributed.''
Al-Bukhari also collected this Hadith in several places of his Sahih with an abridged chain, in a manner indicating his approval of it.
causing them to be captured in Badr,
He is Ever Aware of his actions and All-Wise in what He decides.
