In the name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Almighty Allaah Says (what means): "Indeed, We have granted you, [O
Muhammad], Al-Kawthar. So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him
alone]. Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off". [Quran: 108:1-3]
Explanation
It is narrated that Anas bin Maalik said: "(Once), the Messenger of
Allaah was dozing; then, heraised his head and smiled, then, either he
said to them (his companions), or they asked him:"Why did you smile?"
He replied: "Indeed, a Soorah (Quranic chapter) has (just) been
revealed to me." Then he recited (what means): "In the Name of Allaah,
the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful, verily, We have given you
Al-Kawthar..." to the end of the Soorah . Then he asked: "Do you know
what Al-Kawthar is?" They replied: "Allaah and His Messenger know
best." He said: " It is a river in Paradise granted to me by my Lord,
the Almighty and All-Powerful, in which is great goodness; its
drinking vessels are as (numerous as) the heavenly bodies. It will
refuse to allow oneof the slaves to drink, and I (i.e., the Prophet )
will say: 'O my Lord! He is one among my community.' But it will be
said to me: 'You know nothing of the innovations (in religion) that
theypracticed after you.'"
It has been narrated about the Al-Kawthar pool that it has two streams
running into it from the heavens which emanate from thefamous
Al-Kawthar river (The name Al-Kawthar has been reported to refer to
the river as well as the pool of the Prophet ). Its drinking vessels
are as numerous as the stars in the sky. [Muslim, Abu Daawood &
An-Nasaa'i]
As for the saying of Allaah which means: "Indeed, We have grantedyou,
[O Muhammad], Al-Kawthar" [Quran 108:1] it has already been mentioned
that Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise; Imaam Ahmad narrated on he
authority of Anas that he recited this Soorah and then said: "The
Messenger of Allaah said: "I have been given Al-Kawthar, a flowing
river in Paradise which does not flow along a normal channel, rather,
its banks are domes of pearl. I struck its earth with my hand and it
was a strong-smelling musk, and its pebbles were pearls."
Imaam Ibn Jareer narrated on the authority of Anas that he asked the
Messenger of Allaah about Al-Kawthar and that he replied: "It is a
river in Paradise, given to me by my Lord,whose colour is whiter than
milk and whose taste is sweeter than honey; upon it are birds whose
necks are like those of camels." 'Umar said: "O Messenger of Allaah!
They (i.e., the birds) seem so blissful!" He replied: "He who eats
from them is more blissful (in luxury) than them O 'Umar!"
"So pray to your Lord and sacrifice [to Him alone]." [Quran 108:2]
That is, since We have given you such blessings in this world, and in
the Hereafter, including the river described previously, then devote
your obligatory and optional prayers to your Lord alone; likewise,
your sacrifices and all your other acts of worship. Worship Allaah
Alone,without associating partners with Him, as in the saying of
Allaah (which means): "Say: `Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice,
my living and my dying are for Allaah, Lord of the worlds.No partner
has He. And this I havebeen commanded, and I am the first [among you]
of the Muslims.'" [Quran 6:162-163]
Ibn `Abbaas, `Ataa', `Ikrimah, Mujaahid and Al-Hasan are all agreed
that the word Sacrifice here means Halaal (Islamic) slaughter. Most of
the scholars from amongst the pious Salaf (early Muslim generations)
agreed on this and it is contrary to the practices of the idolaters,
who prostrated themselves before false gods and sacrificed animals in
their name. Allaah, theMost High Says (what means): "And do not eat of
that upon which the name of Allaah has notbeen mentioned…" [Quran:
6:121]
"Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off ". [Quran 108:3] That is,
theone who hates you O Muhammad and hates that which you have brought
(i.e. the Message of Islam) is defective, insignificant, despised and
is cut off (from remembrance).
According to Ibn `Abbaas, Mujaahid, Sa'eed Ibn Jubayr and Qataadah
this Soorah was revealed in regard to Al-'Aas bin Waa'il, who used to
say, whenever Allaah's Messenger was mentioned: "Leave him, for he is
a man who is cut off and is of no consequence, and if he were killed,
he would be forgotten." Therefore, Allaah revealed this Soorah.
It was also said that it was revealed concerning 'Uqbah bin Abu
Mu'eet, Ibn `Abbaas and `Ikrimah said that it was revealed in regard
to Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf and a number of the pagans of Quraysh (the
largest Makkan tribe). Al-Bazzaar reported that Ka'b Ibn Al-Ashraf
approached Makkah and the people of Quraysh said: "You are their
leader (i.e. the people of Makkah). Do you not see this weak, feeble,
despised man (Muhammad ) who is withoutfamily or any who might help
him and who is cut off from his own people? He claims that he is
better than we! We are the people of (the House of) the pilgrims, the
custodians (of the Ka`bah), the suppliers of water (to the pilgrims)."
So Ka'b said:"You are better than he" and Allaah therefore revealed
this Soorah. This is an authentic narration.
`Ataa' said that it was revealed concerning Abu Lahab (the Prophet's
disbelieving uncle);this was when the Prophet's son died and Abu Lahab
went to the polytheists and said: "When his sons die, he will no
longer be remembered." Far from that! On the contrary, Allaah has
preserved his memory for the entire world to witness and has placed
the responsibility of (implementing) His Revealed Law upon their
shoulders forever, until the Day of Congregation (Doomsday). - -
