٢۔١١٧ مقطع في سُورَةُ البَقَرَة

quran:2:285

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 Messenger, Muhammad (s) believes in, affirms the truth of, what was revealed to him from his Lord, namely, the Qur’ān, and the believers (wa’l-mu’minūna is a supplement to al-rasūlu, ‘the Messenger’); each one (the tanwīn of kullun stands in place of the second noun in an annexation ˹sc. kullu wāhidin˺) believes in God and His angels, and in His Books, all of them and each of them, and His messengers, and they say, ‘we make no distinction between any of His messengers’, believing in some and disbelieving in others, in the manner of the Jews and the Christians. And they say, ‘We hear, what we have been enjoined to hear and accept, and obey; we ask you: Your forgiveness, our Lord; to You is the homecoming’, that is, the return at the Resurrection. When the previous verse was revealed, the believers complained of evil whisperings and it grieved them that they should be taken to account according to ˹the principle expressed in˺ it, and so the following was revealed:
القرآن:٢:٢٨٥

آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ  

{آمن} صدق {الرسول} محمد ﷺ {بما أنزل إليه من ربه} من القرآن {والمؤمنون} عطف عليه {كل} تنوين عوض من المضاف إليه {آمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه} بالجمع والإفراد {ورسله} يقولون {لا نفرق بين أحد من رسله} فنؤمن ببعض ونكفر ببعض كما فعل اليهود والنصارى {وقالوا سمعنا} أي ما أمرنا به سماع قبول {وأطعنا} نسألك {غفرانك ربنا وإليك المصير} المرجع بالبعث، ولما نزلت الآية التي قبلها شكا المؤمنون من الوسوسة وشق عليهم المحاسبة بها فنزل.
quran:2:286

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. 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."  

God charges no soul save to its capacity, that is, what it is capable of bearing; for it is what it has merited, of good and its reward, and against it is what it has earned, of evil and its burden: no person shall be requited for another’s sin or for what he has not earned, even if he was tempted to do it. Say: Our Lord, take us not to task, by way of chastisement, if we forget, or err, by straying from the right path unknowingly — as You used to take to task those before us: God has lifted this ˹burden˺ from this community, as reported in hadīth. The petition here, then, is a way of acknowledging God’s favour; our Lord, burden us not with a load, an affair which we cannot bear, such as You did lay upon those before us, namely, upon the Children of Israel, as for example, the killing of oneself in repentance, the paying of a quarter of one’s property for alms, and the severing of the impure part. Our Lord, do not burden us beyond what we have the power, the strength, to bear, of obligations and trials; and pardon us, effacing our sins, and forgive us, and have mercy on us, with mercy added to Your forgiveness; You are our Patron, our Master and the Guardian of our affairs; so grant us assistance against the disbelieving folk, by establishing definitive proof ˹for us˺ and victory over them in battle, for it is expected of a patron that he assist his clients against their enemies. In a hadīth it is stated that when this verse was revealed and the Prophet (s) was reciting it, after each word it was said to him, “Granted”. Medinese: ˹consisting of˺ 200 or 199 verses, and revealed after ˹sūrat˺ al-Anfāl. (Al ‘Imrân)
القرآن:٢:٢٨٦

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ ۖ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا ۚ أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ  

(لا يكلف الله نفساً إلا وسعها) أي ما تسعه قدرتها (لها ما كسبت) من الخير أي ثوابه (وعليها ما اكتسبت) من الشر أي وزره ولا يؤاخذ أحد بذنب أحد ولا بما لم يكسبه مما وسوست به نفسه، قولوا (ربنا لا تؤاخذنا) بالعقاب (إن نسينا أو أخطأنا) تركنا الصواب لا عن عمد كما أخذت به من قبلنا وقد رفع الله ذلك عن هذه الأمة كما ورد في الحديث فسؤاله اعتراف بنعمة الله (ربنا ولا تحمل علينا إصراً) أمرا يثقل علينا حمله (كما حملته على الذين من قبلنا) أي بني إسرائيل من قتل النفس في التوبة وإخراج ربع المال في الزكاة وقرض موضع النجاسة (ربنا ولا تحملنا ما لا طاقة) قوة (لنا به) من التكاليف والبلاء (واعف عنا) امح ذنوبنا (واغفر لنا وارحمنا) في الرحمة زيادة على المغفرة (أنت مولانا) سيدنا ومتولي أمورنا (فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين) بإقامة الحجة والغلبة في قتالهم فإن من شأن المولى أن ينصر مواليه على الأعداء، وفي الحديث "" لما نزلت هذه الآية فقرأها ﷺ قيل له عقب كل كلمة قد فعلت "".
