By the Dawn (1) And ten nights, (2) And the Even and the Odd, (3) And the night when it departeth, (4) There surely is an oath for thinking man. (5) 89:1-5
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ
Recitation of Surat Al-Fajr in the Prayer
An-Nasa'i recorded a narration from Jabir that Mu`adh prayed a prayer and a man came and joined him in the prayer. Mu`adh made the prayer long, so the man went and prayed (alone) at the side of the Masjid, and then left. When Mu`adh was informed of this he said, "(He is) a hypocrite.'' He (Mu`adh) then informed the Messenger of Allah of what happened. The Prophet then asked the young man (about it) and he replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I came to pray with him, but he made the prayer too long for me. So I left him and prayed at the side of the Masjid. Then I went to feed my she-camel.'' The Messenger of Allah then said,
«أَفَتَّانٌ يَا مُعَاذُ؟ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ مِنْ
[سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الاّعْلَى ]
[وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَـهَا ]
[وَالْفَجْرِ ]
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَى ]»
(Are you causing trouble Mu`adh Why don't you recite (`Glorify the Name of your Lord the Most High'), (`By the sun and its brightness'), (`By the dawn'), (and (`By the night as it envelops'))
[بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
[وَالْفَجْرِ- وَلَيالٍ عَشْرٍ- وَالشَّفْعِ وَالْوَتْرِ- وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ- هَلْ فِى ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لّذِى حِجْرٍ- أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِعَادٍ- إِرَمَ ذَاتِ الْعِمَادِ- الَّتِى لَمْ يُخْلَقْ مِثْلُهَا فِى الْبِلَـدِ- وَثَمُودَ الَّذِينَ جَابُواْ الصَّخْرَ بِالْوَادِ- وَفِرْعَوْنَ ذِى الاْوْتَادِ- الَّذِينَ طَغَوْاْ فِى الْبِلَـدِ- فَأَكْثَرُواْ فِيهَا الْفَسَادَ- فَصَبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّكَ سَوْطَ عَذَابٍ- إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصَادِ-]
(1. By the dawn ) (2. And by the ten nights,) (3. And by the even and the odd.) (4. And by the night when it departs.) (5. Is there (not) in them sufficient proofs for men of understanding!)
The Explanation of Al-Fajr and what comes after it
Concerning Al-Fajr, it is well known that it is the morning. This was said by `Ali, Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Mujahid and As-Suddi. It has been reported from Masruq and Muhammad bin Ka`b that Al-Fajr refers to the day of Sacrifice (An-Nahr) in particular, and it is the last of the ten nights. `The ten nights' refers to the (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. This was said by Ibn `Abbas, Ibn Zubayr, Mujahid and others among the Salaf and the latter generations. It has been confirmed in Sahih Al-Bukhari from Ibn `Abbas that the Prophet said,
«مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللهِ فِيهِنَّ مِنْ هذِهِ الْأَيَّام»
(There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days.) meaning the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. They said, "Not even fighting Jihad in the way of Allah'' He replied,
«وَلَا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، إِلَّا رَجُلًا خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذلِكَ بِشَيْء»
(Not even Jihad in the way of Allah; except for a man who goes out (for Jihad) with his self and his wealth, and he does not return with any of that.)
Explanation of Night
Concerning Allah's statement,
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ]
(And by the night when it departs.) Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "When it goes away.'' `Abdullah bin Zubayr said,
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ]
(And by the night when it departs.) "As some parts of it remove other parts of it.'' Mujahid, Abu Al-`Aliyah, Qatadah, and Malik who reported it from Zayd bin Aslam and Ibn Zayd, they all said;
[وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا يَسْرِ ]
(And by the night when it departs.) "When it moves along.'' Concerning Allah's statement,[هَلْ فِى ذَلِكَ قَسَمٌ لِّذِى حِجْرٍ ]
[وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْراً مَّحْجُوراً]
(And they will say: "Hijr Mahjur.'') (25:22) All of these examples are different cases but their meanings are quite similar. The oath that is referred to here is about the times of worship and the acts of worship themselves, such as Hajj, Salah and other acts of worship that Allah's pious, obedient, servants who fear Him and are humble before Him, seeking His Noble Face, perform in order to draw nearer to Him.
