Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

Abd al-Wahid ibn Ahmad al-Mulayhi informed us; Ahmad ibn Abd Allah al-Na‘imi informed us; Muhammad ibn Yusuf informed us; Muhammad ibn Isma‘il narrated to us; Sa‘id ibn Abi Maryam narrated to us; Nafi‘ ibn Umar narrated to us from (1) Ibn Abi Mulaykah, who said: Abd Allah ibn Amr said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “My Basin extends the distance of a month’s journey. Its water is whiter than milk, its fragrance is sweeter than musk, and its drinking vessels are like the stars of the sky. Whoever drinks from it will never thirst again.” (2)

Abu Sa‘id Abd Allah ibn Ahmad al-Tahiri informed us; my grandfather Abd al-Samad ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Bazzaz informed us; Muhammad ibn Zakariyya al-Adhafiri informed us; Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Dabari informed us; Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us; Ma‘mar narrated to us from Qatadah, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja‘d, from Ma‘dan ibn Abi Talhah, from Thawban, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “I shall be at the far end of my Basin, driving people away from it for the people of Yemen. I shall strike them with my staff until they turn away from it. Two spouts from Paradise pour abundantly into it (3); one of them is of silver and the other of gold. Its length is that between Busra and Sana‘a, or between Aylah and Mecca, or from where I am standing to Oman.” (5)

“So pray to your Lord and sacrifice.” (2)

Allah, exalted is He, says: “So pray to your Lord and sacrifice.” Muhammad ibn Ka‘b said: “Some people used to pray to other than Allah and sacrifice to other than Allah. Therefore, Allah commanded His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to pray and sacrifice for Allah alone.” (6)

Ikrimah, Ata, and Qatadah said: “Pray to your Lord the Eid prayer on the Day of Sacrifice, and slaughter your sacrificial offering.”

Sa‘id ibn Jubayr and Mujahid said: “Perform the prescribed prayers at Muzdalifah, and sacrifice the camels at Mina.” (7)

It was narrated from Abu al-Jawza’, from Ibn Abbas, regarding the words, “So pray to your Lord and sacrifice,” that he said: “It means placing the right hand over the left in prayer, at the upper chest.” (8)

(1) Omitted in manuscript B. (2) Recorded by Muslim in al-Riqaq, chapter on the Cistern, 11:463; and in al-Fada'il, chapter on affirming the Cistern of our Prophet, no. 2292, 4:1794; and by the author of Sharh al-Sunnah, 15:168. (3) The text within the parentheses is omitted in manuscript A. The far end of the Cistern means its rear part. (4) The water pours into it in a continuous flow. (5) Recorded by Abd al-Razzaq in al-Musannaf, 11:406; Muslim in al-Fada'il, chapter on affirming and describing the Cistern of our Prophet, no. 2301, 4:1799; and by the author of Sharh al-Sunnah, 15:169. (6) See al-Tabari, 30:327. (7) See al-Durr al-Manthur, 8:651. (8) This interpretation is also narrated from Ali, as found in al-Tabari, 30:325, and a similar report is narrated from al-Shabi, though it is not authentic. Al-Tabari cited these views, 30:325-328, then said: “The soundest of these views, in my opinion, is that its meaning is: Make all your prayer purely for your Lord, apart from all rivals and deities besides Him; likewise, make your sacrifice for Him rather than for idols, in gratitude to Him for the honor and incomparable good He has given you, specifically His granting you al-Kawthar.” Ibn Kathir likewise approved of this view in his Tafsir, 4:560.
