Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 59:10

Open in Qurani

And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. This is the third type of believers whose poor most deserve to receive a part of the Fai'. These three types are the Muhajirin, the Ansar and those who followed their righteous lead with excellence. Allah said in another Ayah,

والسبقون اﻻولون من المهجرين واﻻنصر والذين اتبعوهم بٳحسان رضى الله عنهم ورضوا عنه

And of the foremost to embrace Islam of the Muhajirin and the Ansar and also those who followed them exactly, Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. (9:100) The third type are those who followed the Muhajirin and Ansar in their good works, beautiful attributes and who invoke Allah for them in public and secret. This is why Allah the Exalted said in this honorable Ayah,

والذين جاووا من بعدهم يقولون

And those who came after them say, meaning, the statement that they utter is,

ربنا اغفر لنا وﻻخواننا الذين سبقونا باﻻيمان

وﻻ تجعل في قلوبنا غﻼ

Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred, meaning, rage or envy,

للذين آمنوا ربنا إنك رووف رحيم

against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. Indeed, it is a beautiful way that Imam Malik used this honorable Ayah to declare that the Rafidah who curse the Companions do not have a share in the Fai' money, because they do not have the good quality of those whom Allah has described here that they say,

ربنا اغفر لنا وﻻخواننا الذين سبقونا باﻻيمان

وﻻ تجعل في قلوبنا غﻼ للذين آمنوا ربنا إنك رووف رحيم

Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that A'ishah said, "They were commanded to invoke Allah to forgive them, but instead, they cursed them!'' She then recited this Ayah,

والذين جاووا من بعدهم يقولون

ربنا اغفر لنا وﻻخواننا الذين سبقونا باﻻيمان

And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed.''
