๐ ๐ด Hadith:- Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas(radhiyallahu anhu):
โผ๏ธโ๏ธWhen the opening verses of Surah Al-Muzzammil was revealed, the Companions would pray as long as they would pray during Ramadan until its last verses were revealed.
โผ๏ธโThe period between the revelation of its opening and the last verses was one year.
๐ Sunan Abi Dawud 1305(Sahih).
Tafseer Ibn Katheer Surah Al-Muzzammil Verses 73:19 to 73:20 ๐
๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
โ ๏ธThis is a Surah that Men of Sound Understanding receive Admonition from:
๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น
Allah subแธฅฤnahu wa taโฤla says,
ุฅูููู ูููุฐููู
(Verily, this) meaning, this Surah.
ุชูุฐูููุฑูุฉู
(an admonition,) meaning, men of understanding receive admonition from it. Thus, Allah๏ทป says,
ููู ูู ุดูุขุกู ุงุชููุฎูุฐู ุฅูููู ุฑูุจูููู ุณูุจูููุงู
(therefore whosoever wills, let him take a path to His Lord.) meaning, from those whom Allah wills that they be guided. This is similar to the stipulation that Allah mentions in another Surah,
ููู ูุง ุชูุดูุขุกูููู ุฅููุงูู ุฃูู ููุดูุขุกู ุงูููููู ุฅูููู ุงูููููู ููุงูู ุนููููู ุงู ุญููููู ุงู
(But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily Allah is Ever All-Knowing, Al-Wise.) (76:30)
๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
Abrogation of the Obligation to offer the Night Prayer and a Mention of its Valid Excuses
๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
Then Allah๏ทป says,
ุฅูููู ุฑูุจูููู ููุนูููู ู ุฃูููููู ุชููููู ู ุฃูุฏูููู ู ูู ุซูููุซููู ุงููููููู ููููุตููููู ููุซูููุซููู ููุทูุขุฆูููุฉู ู ูููู ุงูููุฐูููู ู ูุนููู
(Verily, your Lord knows that you do stand a little less than two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and also a party of those with you.) meaning, sometimes like this and sometimes like that, and all of these are done unintentionally. However, you all are not able to be consistent with the night prayer Allah has commanded you, because it is difficult for you. Thus, Allah says,
ููุงูููููู ููููุฏููุฑู ุงููููููู ููุงููููููุงุฑู
(And Allah measures the night and the day.) meaning, sometimes the night and day are equal, and sometimes one of them will be longer or shorter than the other.
ุนูููู ู ุฃููููู ุชูุญูุตูููู ููุชูุงุจู
(He knows that you are unable to pray the whole night,) meaning, the obligation which He prescribed for you.
ู ูุง ุชูููุณููุฑู ู ููู ุงููููุฑูุกูุงูู ุนูููู ู
๐ข(So, recite you of the Qur’an as much as may be easy.) meaning, without specification of any set time. This means, stand and pray during the night as much as is easy (for you). Allah uses the term recitation (Qira’ah) to mean prayer (Salah). This is as Allah says in Surah Al-Isra’,
ูููุงู ุชูุฌูููุฑู ุจูุตููุงุชููู
(And offer your Salah neither aloud) (17:110) meaning, your recitation.
ูููุงู ุชูุฎูุงููุชู ุจูููุง
(Nor in low voice.) (17:110) Then Allah says,
ุฃูู ุณูููููููู ู ููููู ู ู ููุฑูุถูู ููุกูุงุฎูุฑูููู ููุถูุฑูุจูููู ููู ุงูุงููุฑูุถู ููุจูุชูุบูููู ู ูู ููุถููู ุงูููููู ููุกูุงุฎูุฑูููู ูููููุชูููููู ููู ุณูุจูููู ุงูููููู ููุงููุฑูุกููุงู
(He knows that there will be some among you sick, others traveling through the land, seeking of Allah’s bounty, yet others fighting in Allah’s cause.) meaning, He knows that there will be people of this nation who will have excuses for not praying the (voluntary) night prayer. They are those who are ill and therefore they are not able to perform it, and those who are traveling in the land seeking the bounty of Allah in business and trade, and others who will be busy with that which is more important to them. An example of this is going on expeditions to fight in the way of Allah. This Ayah, rather, this entire Surah was revealed in Makkah even though fighting was not legislated until after it was revealed. Thus, it is among the greatest of the signs of prophethood, because it informs about unseen matters of the future. Thus, Allah๏ทป says,
ู ูุง ุชูููุณููุฑู ู ููููู ููุฃููููู ููุงู
(So recite as much of the Qur’an as may be easy,) meaning, stand and pray at night whatever is easy for you to do of it. Allah said;
ููุฃููููู ููุงู ุงูุตููููุฉู ููุขุชููุงู ุงูุฒูููููุฉู
๐ข(and perform Salah and give Zakah,) meaning, establish your obligatory prayers and pay your obligatory Zakah. This is a proof for those who say that Zakah was made obligatory in Makkah, but the various amounts of Nisab and how much was to be given was clarified in Al-Madinah. And Allah knows best. Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and others from the Salaf have said, “Verily, this Ayah abrogated the standing for prayer at night that Allah previously made obligatory for the Muslims.”
It has been confirmed in the Two Sahihs that the Messenger of Allahโ๏ทบ said to a man,
ยซุฎูู ูุณู ุตูููููุงุชู ููู ุงููููููู ู ููุงููููููููุฉยป
Five obligatory prayers during a day and a night (are obligatory).” The man said, “Is there anything other than this (of prayer) that is obligatory upon me” The Messenger of Allahโ๏ทบ replied,
ยซููุงุ ุฅููููุง ุฃููู ุชูุทููููุนยป
(No, except what you may do voluntarily.)

The Command to give Charity and do Good Deeds
๐ธ๐น๐ธ๐น๐ธ๐น๐ธ๐น๐ธ๐น๐ธ
Allah๏ทป says,
ุงูููููู ููุฑูุถุงู ุญูุณููุงู ููู ูุง
โ๏ธ(and lend to Allah a handsome loan.) meaning, from charitable donations. For verily, Allah will reward for this the best and most abundant of rewards. This is as Allah๏ทป says,
ู ููู ุฐูุง ุงูููุฐูู ููููุฑูุถู ุงูููููู ููุฑูุถูุง ุญูุณูููุง ููููุถูุงุนููููู ูููู ุฃูุถูุนูุงููุง ููุซููุฑูุฉู
(Who is he that will lend to Allah a goodly loan so that He may multiply it to him many times) (2:245)
Then Allah says,
ุชูููุฏููู ููุงู ูุงูููููุณูููู ู ู ูููู ุฎูููุฑู ุชูุฌูุฏูููู ุนููุฏู ุงูููููู ูููู ุฎูููุฑุงู ููุฃูุนูุธูู ู ุฃูุฌูุฑุงู ููุงุณูุชูุบูููุฑููุงู
(And whatever good you send before you for yourselves, you will certainly find it with Allah, better and greater in reward.) meaning, for all that you send before yourselves, you will get it (back) and it will be better than what you kept for yourselves in the worldly life. Al-Hafiz Abu Ya`la Al-Mawsili reported from Al-Harith bin Suwayd, from `Abdullah that Messenger of Allahโ๏ทบ said,
ยซุฃููููููู ู ู ูุงูููู ุฃูุญูุจูู ุฅููููููู ู ููู ู ูุงูู ููุงุฑูุซูููุยป
(Which of you hold his wealth to be more beloved to him than the wealth of his heir) They said, “O Messenger of Allah! There is not a single one of us who does not hold his wealth to be more beloved to him than the wealth of his heir.” The Messenger of Allahโ๏ทบ then said,
ยซุงุนูููู ููุง ู ูุง ุชููููููููยป
(Know what you are saying!) They replied, “What do we know other than this, O Messenger of Allahโ๏ทบ” Heโ๏ทบ then said,
ยซุฅููููู ูุง ู ูุงูู ุฃูุญูุฏูููู ู ู ูุง ููุฏููู ูุ ููู ูุงูู ููุงุฑูุซููู ู ูุง ุฃูุฎููุฑยป
(The wealth of one of you is only that which he sends forth, and the wealth of his heir is that which he leaves behind.) Al-Bukhari also recorded this Hadith.
Then Allah๏ทป says,
ููุงุณูุชูุบูููุฑููุงู ุงูููููู ุฅูููู ุงูููููู ุบููููุฑู ุฑููุญููู ู
๐(And seek forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.) meaning, remember Him and seek forgiveness from Him often for all of your matters. For verily, He is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful to whoever seeks His forgiveness.
