Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

al-Ziyadi informed us; Abu al-Fadl Abdus ibn al-Husayn ibn Mansur al-Simsar informed us; Abu Hatim Muhammad ibn Idris al-Hanzali al-Razi informed us; Muhammad ibn Abd Allah al-Ansari informed us; Humayd al-Tawil informed us, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw a man who had become like a chick. He asked, “Had you been supplicating Allah for something or asking Him for it?” The man said, “O Messenger of Allah, I used to say: ‘O Allah, whatever punishment You were to inflict upon me in the Hereafter, hasten it for me in this world.’” He said: ⦗31/b⦘ “Glory be to Allah! You would be unable to bear it or endure it. Why did you not say: ‘Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire’?” (1)

[Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Sarakhsi informed us] (2); Abu al-Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Ishaq al-Hajjaji informed us; Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Dauli informed us; Muhammad ibn Mishkan informed us; Abu Dawud informed us; Shubah informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would frequently say: ‘Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.’” (3)

Abd al-Wahhab ibn Muhammad al-Kisa'i informed us; Abd al-Aziz ibn Ahmad al-Khallal informed us; Abu al-Abbas al-Asamm informed us; al-Rabi ibn Sulayman informed us; al-Shafi'i informed us; Sa'id ibn Salim al-Qaddah informed us, from Ibn Jurayj, from Yahya ibn Ubayd, a client of al-Sa'ib, from his father Abd Allah ibn al-Sa'ib, that he heard the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, between the Corner of Banu Jumah and the Black Corner: “Our Lord, grant us good in this world, and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (4)

His saying, exalted is He, “Those will have a share”—that is, a portion—“of what they have earned,” of goodness, supplication, reward, and recompense. “And Allah is swift in reckoning”: that is, when He calls people to account, His reckoning is swift. He has no need to count on fingers, retain matters in the mind, deliberate, or reflect.

Al-Hasan said: “Swifter than the blink of an eye.” It has also been said that it means the coming of the Day of Resurrection is near, for whatever is inevitably to occur is near. Allah, exalted is He, says: “And what will make you realize? Perhaps the Hour is near.” (al-Shura, 42:17)
