Allah mentions the blessing and great bounty that He has bestowed upon His
servant and Messenger Muhammad by revealing to Him the Noble Qur'an to which
falsehood cannot come, from before it or behind it, (it is) sent down by the
All-Wise, Worthy of all praise. Ibn Mas`ud said, "A red wind will come to the
people, meaning at the end of time, from the direction of Syria, and there will
be nothing left in a man's Mushaf (copy of the Qur'an) or in his heart, not even
one Ayah.'' Then Ibn Mas`ud recited:
[وَلَئِن شِئْنَا
لَنَذْهَبَنَّ بِالَّذِى أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ]
(And if We willed, We could surely take away that which We have revealed to
you.)
