Chapter 28: Surah al-Qasas In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest…) [28:56]. Abu ‘Abd Allah Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Shirazi informed us> Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Khamrawayh> ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Khuza‘i> Abu’l-Yaman al-Hakam ibn Nafi‘> Shu‘ayb> al-Zuhri> Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyab> his father who said: “When death was about to overtake Abu Talib, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, went to see him and there he found with him Abu Jahl and ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Umayyah. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, addressed his uncle: ‘O uncle, say, there is no deity save Allah, and I will argue, by means of it, in your favour with Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He’. Abu Jahl and ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Umayyah said: ‘O Abu Talib, would you shun the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib’ The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, kept inviting him and repeating his words until the last thing that Abu Talib said was: ‘I follow the religion of ‘Abd al-Muttalib’, and he refused to say, there is no deity save Allah. At that point the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: ‘By Allah, I will ask Allah for your forgiveness for as long as I am not forbidden from doing so’. Then, Allah, glorious and majestic is He, revealed (It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of Hell-fire) [9:113]. He also revealed about Abu Talib (Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will)”. 1 This was narrated by Bukhari> Abu’l-Yaman> Shu‘ayb and also by Muslim> Harmalah> Ibn Wahb> Yunus; and both Yunus and Shu‘ayb related it from al-Zuhri. Master Abu Ishaq Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim informed us> al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al- Shaybani> Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Hafiz> Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr> Yahya ibn Sa‘id>> Yazid ibn Kaysan> Abu Hazim> Abu Hurayrah who said: “The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to his uncle: ‘Say: there is no deity save Allah, and I will be witness, by means of it, for you on the Day of Judgement’. His uncle said: ‘If I did not fear that the Quraysh will revile me by saying that it was fear [of death] that drove me to say it, I would have pleased you by saying it’. Allah, exalted is He, then revealed (Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will)”. 2 This was narrated by Muslim> Muhammad ibn Hatim> Yahya ibn Sa‘id. He said: “I heard Abu ‘Uthman al-Hiri> al-Hasan ibn Miqsam> Abu Ishaq al-Zajjaj who said regarding this verse: ‘The commentators of the Qur’an are in consensus that it was revealed about Abu Talib’ ”. 3 (And they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with thee we should be torn out of our land…) [28:57]. This verse was revealed about al-Harith ibn ‘Uthman ibn Nawfal ibn ‘Abd Manaf when he said to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace: “We know that what you say is the truth. However, what prevents us from following you is the fear that the Arabs will drive us out of our land, since they are unanimously against us and we have no power against them”. Therefore, Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse. (Is he whom We have promised a fair promise which he will find (true)…) [28:61]. Abu Bakr al-Harithi informed us> Abu’l-Shaykh al-Hafiz> Muhammad ibn Sulayman> ‘Abd Allah ibn 1 Tabari, :92; Qurtubi, :272; Durr, :428-429. 2 Tabari, :92-93; Durr, :428. 3 Qurtubi, :299.
Asbab al-Nuzul Hazim al-Ayli> Badal ibn al-Muhabbar> Shu‘bah> Aban> Mujahid who said, regarding this verse: “This verse was revealed about ‘Ali, Hamzah and Abu Jahl”. 4 Al-Suddi said: “This verse was revealed about ‘Ammar and al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah”. It was also said that it was revealed about the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace and Abu Jahl. (Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth…) [28:68]. The specialists of Qur’anic exegesis said: “This verse was revealed as an answer to al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah when he said, as reported by Allah, exalted is He, in the Qur’an (And they say: If only this Qur’an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns) [43:31]. Allah, exalted is He, informed that the messengers are not sent of their own accord”. 5 4 Tabari, :97; Durr, :431 (‘Ali is not mentioned in Durr). 5 Qurtubi, :305. The two towns referred to above are Mecca and Ta’if. 176
