This refers to how Allah sends revelation. Sometimes He casts something into
the heart of the Prophet , and he has no doubt that it is from Allah, as it was
reported in Sahih Ibn Hibban that the Messenger of Allah said:
«إِنَّ رُوْحَ
الْقُدُسِ نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِي أَنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتْى تَسْتَكْمِلَ
رِزْقَهَا وَأَجَلَهَا، فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَب»
(Ar-Ruh Al-Qudus [i.e., Jibril] breathed into my heart that no soul will die
until its allotted provision and time have expired, so have Taqwa of Allah and
keep seeking in a good (and lawful) way.)
[أَوْ مِن وَرَآءِ
حِجَابٍ]
(or from behind a veil) -- as He spoke to Musa, peace be upon him. He asked
to see Him after He had spoken to him, but this was not granted to him. In the
Sahih, it recorded that the Messenger of Allah said to Jabir bin `Abdullah, may
Allah be pleased with him:
«مَا كَلَّمَ اللهُ
أَحَدًا إِلَّا مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ، وَإِنَّهُ كَلَّمَ أَبَاكَ كِفَاحًا»
(Allah never speaks to anyone except from behind a veil, but He spoke to your
father directly.) This is how it was stated in the Hadith. He [Jabir's father]
was killed on the day of Uhud, but this refers to the realm of Al-Barzakh,
whereas the Ayah speaks of this earthly realm.
[أَوْ يُرْسِلَ
رَسُولاً فَيُوحِىَ بِإِذْنِهِ مَا يَشَآءُ]
(or (that) He sends a Messenger to reveal what He wills by His leave.) as
Jibril, peace be upon him, and other angels came down to the Prophets, peace be
upon them.
[إِنَّهُ عَلِىٌّ
حَكِيمٌ]
(Verily, He is Most High, Most Wise.) He is Most High, All-Knowing, Most
Wise.
[وَكَذَلِكَ
أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِّنْ أَمْرِنَا]
(And thus We have sent to you Ruh of Our command.) means, the Qur'an.
[مَا كُنتَ تَدْرِى
مَا الْكِتَـبُ وَلاَ الإِيمَـنُ]
(You knew not what is the Book, nor what is Faith.) means, `in the details
which were given to you in the Qur'an.'
[وَلَـكِن
جَعَلْنَـهُ]
(But We have made it) means, the Qur'an,
[نُوراً نَّهْدِى
بِهِ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا]
(a light wherewith We guide whosoever of Our servants We will. ) This is like
the Ayah:
[قُلْ هُوَ
لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدًى وَشِفَآءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِى
ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى]
(Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing. And as for those
who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness) in their ears, and it (the Qur'an)
is blindness for them.'') (41:44).
[وَأَنَّكَ]
(And verily, you) means, `O Muhammad,'
[لَتَهْدِى إِلَى
صِرَطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ]
(are indeed guiding to a straight path.) means, the correct behavior. Then
Allah explains this further by saying:
[صِرَطِ
اللَّهِ]
(The path of Allah) meaning, His Laws which He enjoins.
[الَّذِى لَهُ مَا
فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَا فِى الاٌّرْضِ]
(to Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth.)
means, their Lord and Sovereign, the One Who is controlling and ruling them,
Whose decree cannot be overturned.
[أَلاَ إِلَى اللَّهِ
تَصِيرُ الاٍّمُورُ]
(Verily, all matters at the end go to Allah.) means, all matters come back to
Him and He issues judgement concerning them. Glorified and exalted be He far
above all that the evildoers and deniers say. [This is the end of the Tafsir of
Surat Ash-Shura]
