Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

And some said that His words, “And We record what they have sent ahead and their traces,” mean: their footsteps to the mosque. (1)

It is narrated from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri that he said: Banu Salamah complained about the distance of their homes from the mosque, so Allah Most High revealed: “And We record what they have sent ahead and their traces.” (2)

Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Salihi informed us; Abu Sa‘id Muhammad ibn ‘Isa al-Sayrafi narrated to us; Abu al-‘Abbas al-Asamm narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Hisham ibn Mulas al-Numayri narrated to us; Marwan al-Fazari narrated to us; Humayd narrated to us from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: “Banu Salamah wished to move nearer to the mosque, but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, disliked that Medina should be left deserted. He said, ‘O Banu Salamah, will you not reckon your footsteps as acts for which you will be rewarded?’ So they remained where they were.” (3)

⦗91b⦘ ‘Abd al-Wahid al-Mulayhi informed us; Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Nu‘aymi informed us; Muhammad ibn Yusuf informed us; Muhammad ibn Isma‘il narrated to us; Muhammad ibn al-‘Ala’ narrated to us; Abu Usamah narrated to us from Yazid ibn ‘Abd Allah, from Abu Burdah, from Abu Musa, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The people who earn the greatest reward for prayer are those who walk the farthest distance, then those next farthest. And the one who waits for the prayer in order to pray it with the imam earns a greater reward than one who prays and then sleeps.” (4)

His words, Most High: “And We have enumerated everything”: that is, We have preserved it, counted it, and made it clear, “in a clear record”: namely, the Preserved Tablet.

(1) Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, 3:567, said: “This view does not conflict with the first; rather, it draws attention to it and indicates it all the more clearly. If these traces are recorded, then all the more so are those deeds, good or evil, by which others take them as an example. And Allah knows best.” (2) Reported by al-Tirmidhi in Tafsir, “Commentary on Surah Ya-Sin,” 9:94-95. He said: “This is a sound, solitary hadith through al-Thawri; Abu Sufyan is Tarif al-Sa'di.” It was authenticated by al-Hakim, 2:428, and approved by al-Dhahabi; it was also reported by al-Tabari, 22:154, and Ibn Abi Hatim, all through al-Thawri. Al-Bazzar also narrated it through al-Jurayri, from Abu Nadrah, from Abu Sa'id. Ibn Kathir, may Allah have mercy on him, 3:567, said: “There is something unusual in it insofar as it mentions the occasion of revelation of this verse, whereas the entire surah is Makkan. And Allah knows best.” See also Al-Sahih al-Musnad min Asbab al-Nuzul, p. 124.

وَقَالَ قَوْمٌ: قَوْلُهُ: "وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهَمْ" أَيْ: خُطَاهُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ. (١) رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: شَكَتْ بَنُو سَلَمَةَ بُعْدَ مَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: "وَنَكْتُبُ مَا قَدَّمُوا وَآثَارَهَمْ". (٢) أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى الصَّيْرَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ مُلَاسٍ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ الْفَزَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ﵁ قَالَ: "أَرَادَتْ بَنُو سَلَمَةَ أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا إِلَى قُرْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُعَرَّى الْمَدِينَةُ، فَقَالَ: يَا بَنِي سَلَمَةَ أَلَا تَحْتَسِبُونَ آثَارَكُمْ؟ فأقاموا". (٣) وأخبرنا ٩١/ب عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ الْمَلِيحِيُّ، أَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّعِيمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: "أَعْظَمُ النَّاسِ أَجْرًا فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَبْعَدُهُمْ فَأَبْعَدُهُمْ مَمْشًى وَالَّذِي يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَنَامُ". (٤) قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ﴿وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ أحْصَيْنَاهُ﴾ حَفِظْنَاهُ وَعَدَدْنَاهُ وَبَيَّنَّاهُ، ﴿فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ﴾ وَهُوَ اللَّوْحُ الْمَحْفُوظُ.
