Chapter 41: Mentioning the reason for the revelation of some of the<br />
Aayaat of Surah al-An`aam and Surah al-Kawthar<br />
Ibn Is-ḥaaq said 309 : Whenever the Messenger of <strong>Al</strong>laah ﷺ used to sit in the Masjid,<br />
some of his most vulnerable Companions used to sit close by him, such as Khabbaab,<br />
`Ammaar, Abu Fukayhah Yasaar – the freed slave of Ṣafwaan Ibn Umayyah, Ṣuhayb and<br />
other Muslims like them. The Quraish would mock them, saying to one another: ‘These<br />
are his companions, as you see! Is it these (poor believers) that <strong>Al</strong>laah has favored from<br />
amongst us to receive guidance and the religion of truth? And what Muḥammad had<br />
brought, had it been a good thing, they (weak and poor) would not have preceded us<br />
عز ُوجل thereto! And certainly, <strong>Al</strong>laah would not have put them before us!’ So, <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
revealed these Aayaat about them:<br />
﴿وَّلَُُتَط ر دُُِالَّذِينَُُيَد ع ونَُُرَبَّه مُبِال غَدَاةُُِوَال عَشِ يُُِّي رِيد ونَُُوَج هَهُُُۖمَاُعَلَي كَُُمِن ُُحِ سَاِبِِمُمِّنُشَيءُُوَمَاُ<br />

{And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon seeking His<br />
Face. Not upon you is anything of their account and not upon them is anything of<br />
your account. So were you to send them away, you would (then) be of the<br />
wrongdoers. Thus We have tried some of them with others, that they might say: “Is it<br />
these (poor believers) that <strong>Al</strong>laah has favored from amongst us?” Does not <strong>Al</strong>laah<br />
know best those who are grateful? When those who believe in Our Aayaat come to<br />
you, say (to them): “Salaamun `<strong>Al</strong>aikum (peace be on you). Your Lord has written<br />
Mercy for Himself, so that, if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents<br />
and does righteous good deeds (by obeying <strong>Al</strong>laah), then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving,<br />
Most Merciful.”} [Surah al-An`aam (6): 52-54]<br />
309 I (al-<strong>Al</strong>baanee) say: This is how Ibn Is-ḥaaq has reported it in his “al-<strong>Seerah</strong>” (2/33) in “Mu`allaq” form (i.e.<br />
without a chain of narration). There are supporting narrations which act as a witness to it, which I will mention at<br />
the end of this chapter.<br />
