{And be not in haste (O Muḥammad) with the Qur’aan before its revelation is<br />
completed to you, and say: “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”} [Surah TaHa (20):<br />
114]<br />
And the saying of <strong>Al</strong>laah :تعاىل {Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur’aan, O<br />
Muḥammad) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it}, meaning: in your<br />
chest.<br />
{and to give you the ability to recite it}, meaning: to recite it (as it was revealed to<br />
you).<br />
{And when We have recited it to you}, meaning: when our Angel has recited it to you.<br />
{then follow you its (the Qur’aan’s) recital}, meaning: listen to it and contemplate. 165<br />
{then it is for Us (<strong>Al</strong>laah) to make it clear to you.}, this is similar to <strong>Al</strong>laah’s saying:<br />
{and say: “My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”}. 166<br />
Narrated Sa`eed Ibn Jubair: Ibn `Abbaas رضيُاهللُعنهما in the explanation of the statement<br />
of <strong>Al</strong>laah :تعاىل {Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur’aan) to make haste<br />
therewith.}, said: “<strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ used to bear the revelation with great<br />
trouble and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration.” Ibn `Abbaas moved his<br />
lips saying: “I am moving my lips in front of you as <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ used to<br />
move his.” Ibn `Abbaas added: “So <strong>Al</strong>laah revealed: {Move not your tongue concerning<br />
(the Qur’aan) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O<br />
Muḥammad) the ability to recite it}, which means that <strong>Al</strong>laah will make him (the<br />
Prophet) remember the portion of the Qur’aan which was revealed at that time by heart<br />
and recite it. The statement of <strong>Al</strong>laah: {And when we have recited it to you (O<br />
Muḥammad through Jibreel) then you follow its (Qur’aan’s) recital}, means “listen to<br />
it and be silent.” {Then it is for Us (<strong>Al</strong>laah) to make it clear to you}, means: “Then it is<br />
(for <strong>Al</strong>laah) to make you recite it (and its meaning will be clear by itself through your<br />
tongue).” Afterwards, <strong>Al</strong>laah’s Messenger ﷺ used to listen to Jibreel whenever he<br />
came and after his departure, he used to recite it as Jibreel had recited it.” 167<br />
165 [TN: In his Tafseer, Ibn Katheer said: “listen to it then recite it as he taught you to recite it.”]<br />
166 [TN: And In his Tafseer, Ibn Katheer said: “after memorizing it and reciting it, We will explain it to you, clarify it<br />
and inspire you with its meaning according to what We intended and legislated.”]<br />
