[Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 509].




English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, has said: `I will declare war against him who treats with hostility a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (voluntary prayers or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) until I love him, (so much so that) I become his hearing with which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me something, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My Protection (refuge), I will surely protect him".
[Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 76, Hadith # 509].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 31."But Sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper" This Hadith tell us the status and distinctive signs of the favoured men of Allah (‘Auliya’ Allah) The Noble Qur’an has defined them as: "Those who believed (in the Oneness of Allah) and used to fear Allah much (by abstaining from evil deeds and sins and by doing righteous deeds)". (10:63). According to this definition, every believer who really fears Allah is a favoured of Allah. It means that except for Faith and piety, favoured of Allah are neither people of the special kind nor have they any special distinctive signs, as is generally thought by some people. In this respect, the ignorance of the general public is shocking because they regard even such persons as favoured of Allah who not only neglect the religious obligations and the practice of the Prophet (PBUH), but also woefully lack cleanliness. Sometimes they call even mad or half-mad persons as favourites of Allah, whereas a Wali in the true sense is one who is meticulous about observing the obligations and is fearful of Allah. This Hadith brings about the following points: Firstly, the love of those whom Allah loves entail the love of Allah, and hating them entails the hatred of Allah. Secondly, when a true Muslim acquires nearness and love of Allah by means of performing religious obligations, supererogatory and voluntary prayers, Allah then becomes his special helper and protects his limbs and organs and does not let them work for His disobedience.

[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The
Criterion]

Ayat 31. Thus Allah made for every Prophet an enemy among the Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, criminals, etc.). But Sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper.

[Tafseer]of Ayat 31. Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help. It is the nature of sin to be hostile to truth and righteousness, but such hostility will not harm the righteous and need cause no misgiving because Allah will guide and help those who work in His cause. And what could be better or more effective than His guidance and help?

[Muslim Book 35, Chapter 11, Hadith # 6518].


English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Any group of people that assemble in one of the Houses of Allah to study the Qur’an, tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will engulf them, angels will surround them and Allah will make mention of them to those (the angels) in His proximity.”
[Muslim
Book 35, Chapter 11, Hadith #
6518].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Furqan Ayat 32."(it is sent down in parts), that Allah may strengthen your heart thereby" The meaning of the Hadith is that they teach one another by discussing the Quranic sciences, and knowledge the Qur’an contains. This meaning is correct because both these acts are auspicious and are means of gaining the Pleasure of Allah. This Hadith, however, does not tell us in any way that this group of people recite the Qur’an all at once. This was not the practice of the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH).

English Translation of Al-Quran
[25].Surah Al-Furqan [The
Criterion]

Ayat 32. And those who disbelieve say: "Why is not the Qur’an revealed to him all at once?" Thus (it is sent down in parts), that Allah may strengthen your heart thereby. And We have revealed it to you gradually, in stages. (It was revealed to the Prophet SAWW(PBUH)in 23 years.).
[Tafseer] of Ayat 32. Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Quran revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that Allah may strengthen thy heart thereby, and Allah rehearsed it to thee in slow, well-arranged stages, gradually. Three reasons are given for the gradual revelation of the Qur’an. (1) "To strengthen thy heart’: the tremendous task of winning the Arab nation, and, through them, the whole world, to Islam, required superhuman patience, constancy, and firmness, and these qualities were strengthened by the gradual promulgation of solutions to each difficulty as it arose. (2) "Slow, well-arranged stages": though the stages were gradual, as the occasion demanded from time to time, in the course of twenty-three years, the whole emerged, when completed, as a well-arranged scheme of spiritual instruction, as we have seen in following the arrangement of the Surahs. (3) Questions put and answers given.
