Allah commanded His Prophet to entrust all matters to Him and to inform,
about himself, that he does not know the unseen future, but he knows of it only
what Allah informs him. Allah said in another Ayah,
[عَـلِمُ الْغَيْبِ
فَلاَ يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَداً ]
((He Alone is) the All-Knower of the Ghayb (Unseen), and He reveals to none
His Ghayb.) [72:26] Ad-Dahhak reported that Ibn `Abbas said that,
[وَلَوْ كُنتُ
أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لاَسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ]
(If I had the knowledge of the Ghayb (Unseen), I should have secured for
myself an abundance of wealth.) refers to money. In another narration, Ibn
`Abbas commented, "I would have knowledge of how much profit I would make with
what I buy, and I would always sell what I would make profit from,
[وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ
السُّوءُ]
("and no evil should have touched me.'') and poverty would never touch me.''
Ibn Jarir said, "And others said, `This means that if I know the Unseen then I
would prepare for the years of famine during the prosperous years, and in the
time of high cost, I would have prepared for it.''' `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin
Aslam also commented on this Ayah;
[وَمَا مَسَّنِىَ
السُّوءُ]
("and no evil should have touched me. ''), "I would have avoided and saved
myself from any type of harm before it comes.'' Allah then stated that the
Prophet is a warner and bearer of good news. He warns against the torment and
brings good news of Paradise for the believers,
[فَإِنَّمَا
يَسَّرْنَـهُ بِلَسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنْذِرَ بِهِ قَوْماً
لُّدّاً ]
(So We have made this (the Qur'an) easy on your tongue, only that you may
give glad tidings to the pious, and warn with it the most quarrelsome of
people.) [19:97]
[هُوَ الَّذِى
خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَحِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا لِيَسْكُنَ إِلَيْهَا
فَلَمَّا تَغَشَّاهَا حَمَلَتْ حَمْلاً خَفِيفًا فَمَرَّتْ بِهِ فَلَمَّآ أَثْقَلَت
دَّعَوَا اللَّهَ رَبَّهُمَا لَئِنْ ءَاتَيْتَنَا صَـلِحاً لَّنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ
الشَّـكِرِينَ ]
فَلَمَّآ ءاتَـهُمَا
صَـلِحاً جَعَلاَ لَهُ شُرَكَآء فِيمَآ ءاتَـهُمَا فَتَعَـلَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا
يُشْرِكُونَ-]
(189. It is He Who has created you from a single person, and (then) He has
created from him his wife, in order that he might enjoy the pleasure of living
with her. When he covered [had sexual relation with] her, she became pregnant
and she carried it about (lightly). Then when it became heavy, they both invoked
Allah, their Lord (saying): "If You give us a Salih (good in every aspect)
child, we shall indeed be among the grateful.'') (190. But when He gave them a
Salih child, they ascribed partners to Him (Allah) in that which He has given to
them. High be Allah, Exalted above all that they ascribe as partners to
Him.)
