97. Tawḥīd (Oneness of Allah)

٩٧۔ كتاب التوحيد

97.55 “Nay! This is a Glorious Qur'an, in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz.

٩٧۔٥٥ باب قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {بَلْ هُوَ قُرْآنٌ مَجِيدٌ * فِي لَوْحٍ مَحْفُوظٍ}

[Machine] "And [by] the Mount and [by] a Book inscribed. Said Qatadah: Written, they write in the Mother of the Book the entirety of the Scripture and its foundation: 'What is uttered' (i.e., spoken) 'is not uttered by anything except that it is written about him.' And Ibn Abbas said: Good and evil are written, they are altered, and no one alters a word from the books of Allah, the Almighty. However, they distort it, interpreting it in a way other than its intended interpretation. Their study is their recitation, [and it is] a protector and one who guards it. And it was revealed to me, this Quran, so that I may warn you thereby, meaning, the people of Mecca and whoever this Quran reaches, then it is a warner to him."

{وَالطُّورِ وَكِتَابٍ مَسْطُورٍ}. قَالَ قَتَادَةُ مَكْتُوبٌ، يَسْطُرُونَ يَخُطُّونَ فِي {أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ} جُمْلَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَأَصْلِهِ: {مَا يَلْفِظُ} مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلاَّ كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُكْتَبُ الْخَيْرُ وَالشَّرُّ، {يُحَرِّفُونَ} يُزِيلُونَ، وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُزِيلُ لَفْظَ كِتَابٍ مِنْ كُتُبِ اللَّهِ ﷻ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ يَتَأَوَّلُونَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ تَأْوِيلِهِ، دِرَاسَتُهُمْ تِلاَوَتُهُمْ، {وَاعِيَةٌ} حَافِظَةٌ {وَتَعِيَهَا} تَحْفَظُهَا. {وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنْذِرَكُمْ بِهِ} يَعْنِي أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ وَمَنْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ فَهْوَ لَهُ نَذِيرٌ.

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Before Allah created the creations, He wrote a Book (wherein He has written): My Mercy has preceded my Anger." and that (Book) is written with Him over the Throne."  

البخاري:٧٥٥٣وَقَالَ لِي خَلِيفَةُ بْنُ خَيَّاطٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَمَّا قَضَى اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا عِنْدَهُ غَلَبَتْ أَوْ قَالَ سَبَقَتْ رَحْمَتِي غَضَبِي فَهْوَ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "Before Allah created the creations, He wrote a Book (wherein He has written): "My Mercy has preceded my Anger.' And that is written with Him over the Throne." (see Hadith 3194)  

البخاري:٧٥٥٤حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي غَالِبٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ كِتَابًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلْقَ إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي سَبَقَتْ غَضَبِي فَهْوَ مَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ
