1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

(remember) (And لِلن َّاسِ‏ ات َّخِذُونِي وَأُم ِّيَ‏ إِلَهَيْنِ‏ مِن دُونِ‏ اللّهِ‏
when Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection):
"O `Isa, son of Maryam! Did you say unto men:
`Worship me and my mother as two gods besides
Allah!').''
Abu Hurayrah then narrated that the Prophet said
that Allah taught `Isa to say,
سُبْحَانَكَ‏ مَا یَكُونُ‏ لِي أَنْ‏ أَقُولَ‏ مَا لَيْسَ‏ لِي بِحَ‏ ٍّق
Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I
had no right (to say)...
Ath-Thawri narrated this Hadith from Ma`mar
from Ibn Tawus from Tawus.
`Isa's statement,
303
إِن آُنتُ‏ قُلْتُهُ‏ فَقَدْ‏ عَلِمْتَهُ‏ ...
Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it.
﴾ ١١٦﴿
means, had I said it, You, my Lord, would have
known it, for nothing escapes Your knowledge.
Rather, I have not said these words nor did the
thought even cross my mind, this why he said,
تَعْلَمُ‏ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلاَ‏ أَعْلَمُ‏ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ‏ إِن َّكَ‏ أَنتَ‏ عَلا َّمُ‏ الْغُيُو ‏ِب

...
مَا قُلْتُ‏ لَهُمْ‏ إِلا َّ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ‏
You know what is in my inner self though I do not know
what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the Knower of
all that is hidden and unseen. Never did I say to them
ought except what You (Allah) did command me to say...
(and convey).
...
Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.
أَنِ‏ اعْبُدُواْ‏ اللّهَ‏ رَب ِّي وَرَب َّكُمْ‏
I only called them to what You sent me with and
أَنِ‏ اعْبُدُواْ‏ اللّ‏ ‏َه them, commanded me to convey to
