To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and whether you disclose that which is in your mind or conceal it, Allah will call you to account according to it. Then He forgives whom He pleases and chastises whom He Pleases; and Allah is over everything Potent" (ii. 284). the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ felt it hard and severe and they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat down on their knees and said: Messenger of Allah, we were assigned some duties which were within our power to perform, such as prayer, fasting, struggling (in the cause of Allah), charity. Then this (the above-mentioned) verse was revealed unto you and it is beyond our power to live up to it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do you intend to say what the people of two books (Jews and Christians) said before you:" We hear and disobey"? You should rather say:" We hear and we obey, (we seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord! and unto Thee is the return." And they said:" We hear and we obey, (we seek) Thy forgiveness, Our Lord! and unto Thee is the return." When the people recited it and it smoothly flowed on their tongues, then Allah revealed immediately afterwards:" The Apostle believes in that which is sent down unto him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each one believes in Allah and His Angels and His Books and His Apostles, saying: We differentiate not between any of His Apostles and they say: We hearken and we obey: (we seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord! and unto Thee is the return" (ii. 285). When they did that, Allah abrogated this (verse) and the Great, Majestic Allah revealed:" Allah burdens not a soul beyond its capacity. It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. Our Lord, punish us not if we forget or make a mistake." (The Prophet said: ) Yes, our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us. (The Prophet said: ) Yes, our Lord, impose not on us (burdens) which we have not the strength to bear (The Prophet said: ) Yes, and pardon us and grant us protection! and have mercy on us. Thou art our Patron, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people" (ii. 286). He (the Lord) said: Yes.

When this verse:" Whether you disclose that which is in your mind or conceal it, Allah will call you to account according to it" (ii 284), there entered in their minds something (of that fear) such as had never entered their hearts (before). The Apostle ﷺ observed: Say: We have heard and obeyed and submitted ourselves. He (the reporter) said: Allah instilled faith in their hearts and He revealed this verse:" Allah burdens not a soul beyond its capacity. It gets every good that it earns and it suffers every ill that it earns. Our Lord, call us not to account if we forget or make a mistake. He the (Lord) said: I indeed did it. Our Lord! do not lay on us a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us. He (our Lord) said: I indeed did it. And pardon us, have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector" (ii. 286). He said: I indeed did it.

"When this Ayah was revealed: And whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it (2:284). Somethings entered their hearts that had not entered before. So they mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Say: "We hear and we obey."

[Machine] Which verse is it? I said, "If you disclose what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will evaluate you for it." [Al-Baqarah 284]. Ibn Abbas said: When this verse was revealed, the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ became greatly distressed and angered. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, have we been destroyed if we are held accountable for what we say and do? As for our hearts, they are not in our control." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told them, "Say, 'We hear and obey.'" They said, "We hear and obey." He said, "It has been abrogated by this verse, 'The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers.'" [Al-Baqarah 285], to 'Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear...' [Al-Baqarah 286]. Therefore, they were relieved from the responsibility of what is within themselves, but they were still held accountable for their actions.  

أَيَّةُ آيَةٍ؟ قُلْتُ {إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللهُ} [البقرة 284] قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ حِينَ أُنْزِلَتْ غَمَّتْ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَمًّا شَدِيدًا وَغَاظَتْهُمْ غَيْظًا شَدِيدًا يَعْنِي وَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِهَلَكْنَا إِنْ كُنَّا نُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا تَكَلَّمْنَا وَبِمَا نَعْمَلُ فَأَمَّا قُلُوبُنَا فَلَيْسَتْ بِأَيْدِينَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا قَالَ فَنَسَخَتْهَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ} [البقرة 285] إِلَى {لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللهُ نَفْسًا إِلا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ} [البقرة 286] فَتُجُوِّزَ لَهُمْ عَنْ حَدِيثِ النَّفْسِ وَأُخِذُوا بِالْأَعْمَالِ

[Machine] When the verse "{To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Whether you disclose what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent}" [Al-Baqarah 284] was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it became a burden on his companions. They went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat on their knees, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, we have been burdened with acts of worship that we cannot bear. Prayer, fasting, Jihad, and giving charity have been revealed to you, and we cannot bear them." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Do you want to say what the previous people of the two Scriptures said? 'We hear and we disobey'? Rather, say: 'We hear and we obey, forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the destination.'" They said, "We hear and we obey, forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the destination." When the people said it, Allah revealed the verse "{The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], 'We make no distinction between any of His messengers'}" [Al-Baqarah 285]. 'Affaan recited it as "Salaamun Abu Al-Mundhir, who differentiates." So Allah revealed the verse "{But they say, 'We hear and we disobey.' And their saying is not right. But rather, Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few}" [Al-Baqarah 285]. When they did that, Allah abrogated it with His saying "{Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns}" [Al-Baqarah 286]. (For them) it was recorded what is good and bad. The high Thaat was explained as "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error" [Al-Baqarah 286], and Allah replied: "Yes" (accepted their invocation). They said, "Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us" [Al-Baqarah 286], Allah replied: "Yes" (accepted their invocation). They said, "Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear" [Al-Baqarah 286], Allah replied: "Yes" (accepted their invocation). They said, "Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Mawla (Patron, Supporer and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people" [Al-Baqarah 286].

[Machine] When this verse was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ , they came to him and fell on their knees, saying, "We cannot bear it, we cannot endure the burden of the tasks imposed on us, which are beyond our capacity." So, Allah revealed the verse: "The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], 'We make no distinction between any of His messengers.' And they say, 'We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.'" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not say as the People of the Scripture said before you, 'We hear and we disobey,' but rather say, 'We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.'" So, Allah revealed the verse: "Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. 'Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us.'" He said, "Yes." They said, "Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." He said, "Yes."

"When this Ayah was revealed: And whether you disclose what is in yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it (2:284). Somethings entered their hearts that had not entered before. So they mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: 'Say: "We hear and we obey." So Allah put faith into their hearts and Allah Blessed and Most High revealed the Ayah: The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers (and) Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear, for it is what it has earned and against it is what it has wrought. "Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error (2:286)." He said: 'I have done so (as requested).' Our Lord! Lay not upon us a burden like that which You did upon those before us. He said: ['I have done so (as requested).'] Our Lord! Put not a burden upon us greater than we have strength for. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us (2:286). He said: 'I have done so (as requested).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2992)   

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {إِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ} دَخَلَ قُلُوبَهُمْ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «قُولُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَسَلَّمْنَا فَأَلْقَى اللَّهُ الْإِيمَانَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ} الْآيَةَ وَقَالَ «رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا» قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ «{رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا} قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ»
