Ash-Shu'araa

This is a tafsīr in a language other than Arabic as the Quranic Universal Library (QUL, by Tarteel) has it, taken through the open copy of QUL’s data that spa5k/tafsir_api keeps. QUL’s record does not say who wrote or translated it or which printed edition it follows, and states no licence for the text, so the right to show it is not verified. Nobody has compared it with a printed book, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Sabīl did not write or translate any of it.

Verses 192–195

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ 192 نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ 193 عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ 194 بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ 195

And truly, this is a revelation from the Lord of all that exists (192)Which the trustworthy Ruh (Jibril) has brought down (193)Upon your heart that you may be (one) of the warners (194)In the plain Arabic language (195)

The Qur'an Was Revealed by Allah

Here Allah tells us about the Book which He revealed to His servant and Messenger Muhammad ﷺ.

وَإِنَّهُ

(And truly, this) refers to the Qur'an, which at the beginning of the Surah was described as

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ

(and never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious...)(26:5).

لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

(is a revelation from the Lord of Al-'Alamin.) means, Allah has sent it down to you and revealed it to you.

نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ

(Which the trustworthy Ruh has brought down.) This refers to Jibril, peace be upon him. This was the view of more than one of the Salaf: Ibn 'Abbas, Muhammad bin Ka'b, Qatadah, 'Atiyyah Al-'Awfi, As-Suddi, Ad-Dahhak, Az-Zuhri and Ibn Jurayj. This is an issue concerning which there is no dispute. Az-Zuhri said, "This is like the Ayah:

قُلْ مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّجِبْرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُ نَزَّلَهُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ مُصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

(Say: "Whoever is an enemy to Jibril – for indeed he has brought it down to your heart by Allah's permission, confirming what came before it...")(2:97).

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ

(Upon your heart) 'O Muhammad, free from any contamination, with nothing added or taken away.'

لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنذِرِينَ

(that you may be of the warners,) means, 'so that you may warn people with it of the punishment of Allah for those who go against it and disbelieve in it, and so that you may give glad tidings with it to the believers who follow it.'

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُّبِينٍ

(In the plain Arabic language.) meaning, 'this Qur'an which We have revealed to you, We have revealed in perfect and eloquent Arabic, so that it may be quite clear, leaving no room for excuses and establishing clear proof, showing the straight path.'
