Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

Al-Dahhak and Qatadah said: They are green couches laid over the beds. Ibn Kaysan said: They are cushions. Ibn Uyaynah said: They are carpets. Others said: Among the Arabs, every broad cloth is called a rafraf (cushion or spread).

“And beautiful carpets.” These are carpets and thick rugs. The word is a collective noun, its singular being abqariyyah (a fine carpet). Qatadah said: Abqari refers to choice carpets. Abu al-Aliyah said: They are delicate, velvet-like rugs. Al-Qutaybi said: Among the Arabs, every embroidered cloth is called abqari.

Abu Ubaydah said: It is attributed to a land in which embroidered fabrics are made.

Al-Khalil said: Among the Arabs, anything—whether a man or otherwise—that is imposing, precious, and splendid is described as abqari. This is reflected in the Prophet’s saying concerning Umar, may Allah be pleased with him: “I have never seen a man of genius perform as he did.” (1)

“So which of your Lord’s favors will you two deny? Blessed is the name of your Lord, the Possessor of Majesty and Honor.” (77–78)

Regarding His saying, “So which of your Lord’s favors will you two deny? Blessed is the name of your Lord, the Possessor of Majesty and Honor”: the people of Syria recited “Dhu al-Jalal” (Possessor of Majesty) with the waw-ending, and this is likewise how it appears in their codices, treating it as an adjective of “name.”

Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Yusuf al-Juwayni informed us; Abu Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sharik al-Shafii informed us; Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Muslim informed us; Abu Bakr al-Jurabadhi related to us; Ahmad ibn Harb informed us; Abu Muawiyah al-Darir informed us, from Asim, from Abd Allah ibn al-Harith, from Aishah, who said: When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, concluded the prayer, he would remain seated only long enough to say: “O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor.” (2)
