(Verily, Allah has commanded me t o recit e t o you (Those who disbelieve from among t he
People of t he Script ure.)) Ubayy said, "He (Allah) ment ioned me by name t o you'' The Prophet
replied,
«ユ∠バル∠ »
(Yes.) So he (Ubayy) cried. Al-Bukhari, Muslim, At -Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i all recorded t his
Hadit h from Shu` bah.

(1. Those who disbelieve from among t he People of t he Script ure and t he idolat ors, were not
going t o leave unt il t here came t o t hem t he Bayyinah.) (2. A Messenger from Allah recit ing

not unt il aft er t here came t o t hem t he Bayyinah.) (5. And t hey were commanded not , but t hat
t hey should worship Allah, making religion purely for Him alone, Hunafa', and t hat t hey
perform Salah and give Zakah, and t hat is t he right religion.)
Mentioning the Situation of the Disbelievers among the People of
the Scripture and the Idolators
As for t he People of t he Script ure, t hey are t he Jews and t he Christ ians, and t he idolat ors are
t he worshippers of idols and fire among t he Arabs and t he non-Arabs. Muj ahid said, t hey are
not going

also said t he same t hing.
び⊥る∠レΒあ ∠ら∇ャやユ⊥ ヰ⊥ Β∠ ゎ͡ ∇ほゎ∠ ヴｚわェ

(unt il t here came t o t hem t he Bayyinah.) meaning, t his Qur'an. This is why Allah says,

(Those who disbelieve from among t he People of t he Script ure and idolat ors, were not going t o
leave unt il t here came t o t hem t he Bayyinah.) Then He explains what t he Bayyinah is by His
saying,

∠ ョあ ∀メヲ⊥シケ∠ ぴ
(A Messenger from Allah, recit ing purified pages.) meaning, Muhammad and t he Magnificent

t hat are upright , j ust and st raight . They have no mist akes in t hem because t hey are from Allah,

The Differing only occurred after the Knowledge came

divinely revealed Script ures t hat were sent down t o t he nat ions t hat were before us. Aft er
Allah est ablished t he proofs and evidences against t hem, t hey divided and differed concerning

what has been report ed in a Hadit h t hat has many rout es of t ransmission,

(6. Verily, t hose who disbelieve from among t he People of t he Script ure and idolat ors, will

Et ernal Gardens, underneat h which rivers flow. They will abide t herein forever, Allah will be

Mentioning the Worse and Best of Creation and Their Recompense
Allah informs of what will happen t o t he wicked disbelievers among t he People of t he Script ure
and t he idolat ors who oppose t he Allah's divinely revealed Books and t he Prophet s whom He
sent . He says t hat t hey will be in t he fire of Hell on t he Day of Judgement and t hey will abide
t herein forever. This means t hat t hey will remain in it and t hey will have no way out of it and
t hey will not cease being in it .

believed in t heir heart s and performed right eous deeds wit h t heir bodies. He says t hat t hey are
t he best of creat ion. Abu Hurayrah and a group of t he scholars have used t his Ayah as a proof
t hat t he believers have a st at us among t he creat ures t hat is bet t er t han t he angels. This is
because Allah says,
