Tafsir al-Baghawi - Al-Baghawi - (4/116)

upon you. Al-Qutaybi said: what has caused you hardship and harmed you. Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said: what you have gone astray. Al-Dahhak and al-Kalbi said: what you have brought to completion.

“He is concerned for you,” that is, for your faith and rectitude. Qatadah said: “He is concerned for you,” meaning that Allah should guide those among you who have gone astray. “To the believers he is kind and merciful.” It was said: kind to those who obey and merciful to those who sin.

“But if they turn away”—if they turn away from faith and openly wage war against you—“then say: Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. Upon Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.”

It is narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka‘b that he said: “The last part of the Quran to be revealed was these two verses: ‘There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves’ to the end of the surah.” He said: “They were the verses most recently revealed by Allah.” (1)

(1) Recorded by al-Hakim, 2:338, and by Imam Abd Allah ibn Ahmad in Zawa'id al-Musnad, 5:117. Ibn Hajar, in al-Matalib al-Aliyah, 3:337, also attributes it to Ishaq ibn Rahawayh. All of them narrate it without the wording: “They are the most recently revealed verses ...” Al-Haythami states in Majma al-Zawa'id, 7:36: “It was narrated by Abd Allah ibn Ahmad and al-Tabarani. Its chain contains Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jud'an, who is trustworthy but has poor retention; the rest of its narrators are trustworthy.”

عَلَيْكُمْ. وَقَالَ الْقُتَيْبِيُّ: مَا أَعْنَتَكُمْ وَضَرَّكُمْ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ﵄: مَا ضَلَلْتُمْ. وَقَالَ الضَّحَّاكُ وَالْكَلْبِيُّ: مَا أَتْمَمْتُمْ. ﴿حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ﴾ أَيْ: عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ وَصَلَاحِكُمْ. وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيْ: عَلَى ضَالِّكُمْ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ اللَّهُ، ﴿بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾ قيل: رؤوف بِالْمُطِيعِينَ رَحِيمٌ بِالْمُذْنِبِينَ. ﴿فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا﴾ إِنْ أَعْرَضُوا عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ وَنَاصَبُوكَ الْحَرْبَ ﴿فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ﴾ . رُوِيَ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ: آخِرُ مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ هَاتَانِ الْآيَتَانِ ﴿لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ﴾ إِلَى آخَرِ السُّورَةِ. وَقَالَ: هُمَا أَحْدَثُ الْآيَاتِ بِاللَّهِ عَهْدًا (١) .

(١) أخرجه الحاكم: ٢ / ٣٣٨، والإمام عبد الله بن أحمد في زوائد المسند: ٥ / ١١٧، وعزاه ابن حجر في المطالب العالية ٣ / ٣٣٧ لإسحاق بن راهويه، كلهم دون قوله: "هما أحدث الآيات ... ". وقال الهيثمي في المجمع: ٧ / ٣٦: "رواه عبد الله بن أحمد، والطبراني، وفيه علي بن زيد بن جدعان، وهو ثقة سيئ الحفظ، وبقية رجاله ثقات".
