The Cow · Juz 3 · Page 49
لِّلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَإِن تُبۡدُواْ مَا فِيٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ يُحَاسِبۡكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُۖ فَيَغۡفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ ٢٨٤
To Allāh belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

Commentary on 2:284
قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿لله مَا فِي السَّمَوَات وَمَا فِي الأَرْض﴾ ملكا وملكا. ﴿وَإِن تبدوا مَا فِي أَنفسكُم أَو تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبكُمْ بِهِ الله﴾ هَذَا مَنْسُوخ؛ فَإِنَّهُ روى: لما نزلت هَذِه الْآيَة شقّ ذَلِك على الْمُسلمين وَقَالُوا: يحاسبنا الله بِمَا نُحدث بِهِ أَنْفُسنَا؟ ! وبقوا فِي ذَلِك حولا كَامِلا؛ فَنزل قَوْله تَعَالَى: " لَا يُكَلف الله نفسا إِلَّا وسعهَا) فَصَارَ هَذَا مَنْسُوخا بِهِ.
هَذَا قَول أبي هُرَيْرَة، وَابْن مَسْعُود، (وَابْن عمر) ، وَفِي إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَن أبن عَبَّاس.
وَقد قَالَ النَّبِي: " إِن الله تَعَالَى عفى عَن أمتِي مَا حدثت بِهِ أَنْفسهَا؛ مَا لم تعْمل أَو تكلم بِهِ " أَي: تَتَكَلَّم بِهِ ".
وَقَالَ أهل الْأُصُول: هَذَا لَيْسَ بمنسوخ؛ لِأَن قَوْله: ﴿يُحَاسِبكُمْ بِهِ الله﴾ خبر، والنسخ لَا يرد على الْأَخْبَار، وَإِنَّمَا يرد على الْأَوَامِر والنواهي.
وَقد روى الْوَالِبِي، عَن ابْن عَبَّاس - فِي الرِّوَايَة الثَّانِيَة - أَن معنى قَوْله: ﴿يُحَاسِبكُمْ بِهِ الله﴾ أَي: يعلمكم بِهِ، أَي: لَا يخفي عَلَيْهِ شَيْء من ذَلِك.
﴿فَيغْفر لمن يَشَاء﴾ أَي: يغْفر للْمُؤْمِنين ﴿ويعذب من يَشَاء﴾ يَعْنِي: الْكَافرين ﴿وَالله على كل شَيْء قدير﴾ .

2:283
۞ وَإِن كُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٖ وَلَمۡ تَجِدُواْ كَاتِبٗا فَرِهَٰنٞ مَّقۡبُوضَةٞۖ فَإِنۡ أَمِنَ بَعۡضُكُم بَعۡضٗا فَلۡيُؤَدِّ ٱلَّذِي ٱؤۡتُمِنَ أَمَٰنَتَهُۥ وَلۡيَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّهُۥۗ وَلَا تَكۡتُمُواْ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَۚ وَمَن يَكۡتُمۡهَا فَإِنَّهُۥٓ ءَاثِمٞ قَلۡبُهُۥۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ ٢٨٣
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allāh, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allāh is Knowing of what you do.

2:285
ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٖ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦۚ وَقَالُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَاۖ غُفۡرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيۡكَ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٢٨٥
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allāh 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."
2:286
لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا وُسۡعَهَاۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتۡ وَعَلَيۡهَا مَا ٱكۡتَسَبَتۡۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذۡنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوۡ أَخۡطَأۡنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحۡمِلۡ عَلَيۡنَآ إِصۡرٗا كَمَا حَمَلۡتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِنَاۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلۡنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦۖ وَٱعۡفُ عَنَّا وَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا وَٱرۡحَمۡنَآۚ أَنتَ مَوۡلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢٨٦
Allāh 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."1

- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) concludes this sūrah by directing His servants how to supplicate Him, just as He taught them in Sūrah al-Fātiḥah how to praise Him and ask for guidance. ↩
