Commentary on 33:43
وقوله ( هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: ربكم الذي تذكرونه الذكر الكثير وتسبحونه بكرة وأصيلا إذا أنتم فعلتم ذلك، الذي يرحمكم، ويثني عليكم هو ويدعو لكم ملائكته . وقيل: إن معنى قوله ( يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ ): يشيع عنكم الذكر الجميل في عباد الله. وقوله ( لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ) يقول: تدعو ملائكة الله &; 20-280 &; لكم؛ فيخرجكم الله من الضلالة إلى الهدى، ومن الكفر إلى الإيمان.
وبنحو الذي قلنا في تأويل ذلك قال أهل التأويل.
* ذكر من قال ذلك:
حدثني علي، قال: ثنا أَبو صالح، قال: ثني معاوية، عن علي، عن ابن عباس في قوله ( اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا ) يقول: لا يفرض على عباده فريضة إلا جعل لها حدًّا معلوما، ثم عذر أهلها في حال عذر غير الذكر، فإن الله لم يجعل له حدًّا ينتهي إليه ولم يعذر أحدا في تركه إلا مغلوبا على عقله، قال فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَى جُنُوبِكُمْ بالليل والنهار في البر والبحر، وفي السفر والحضر، والغنى والفقر، والسقم والصحة، والسر والعلانية، وعلى كل حال. وقال: ( وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلا ) فإذا فعلتم ذلك؛ صلى عليكم هو وملائكته، قال الله عز وجل: ( هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ ) .
حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة قوله ( وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلا ) صلاة الغداة، وصلاة العصر.
وقوله ( لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ) أي: من الضلالات إلى الهدى.
حدثني يونس، قال: أخبرنا ابن وهب، قال: قال ابن زيد في قوله ( هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكُمْ وَمَلائِكَتُهُ لِيُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ) قال: من الضلالة إلى الهدى، قال: والضلالة الظلمات والنور: الهدى.
وقوله ( وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيمًا ) يقول تعالى ذكره: وكان بالمؤمنين به ورسوله ذا رحمة أن يعذبهم وهم له مطيعون، ولأمره متبعون.

33:36
وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٖ وَلَا مُؤۡمِنَةٍ إِذَا قَضَى ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَمۡرًا أَن يَكُونَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡخِيَرَةُ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِمۡۗ وَمَن يَعۡصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلَٰلٗا مُّبِينٗا ٣٦
It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allāh and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.
33:37
وَإِذۡ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِيٓ أَنۡعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ وَأَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِ أَمۡسِكۡ عَلَيۡكَ زَوۡجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخۡفِي فِي نَفۡسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبۡدِيهِ وَتَخۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخۡشَىٰهُۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيۡدٞ مِّنۡهَا وَطَرٗا زَوَّجۡنَٰكَهَا لِكَيۡ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ حَرَجٞ فِيٓ أَزۡوَٰجِ أَدۡعِيَآئِهِمۡ إِذَا قَضَوۡاْ مِنۡهُنَّ وَطَرٗاۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفۡعُولٗا ٣٧
And [remember, O Muḥammad], when you said to the one on whom Allāh bestowed favor and you bestowed favor,1 "Keep your wife and fear Allāh," while you concealed within yourself that which Allāh is to disclose.2 And you feared the people,3 while Allāh has more right that you fear Him.4 So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort [i.e., guilt] concerning the wives of their claimed [i.e., adopted] sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.
4 translator’s notes
Referring to the Prophet's freed slave, Zayd bin Ḥārithah.
[1199] i.e., Allāh's command to the Prophet (ﷺ) to marry Zaynab after Zayd divorced her. This was to demonstrate that a man may marry a woman formerly married to his adopted son.
[1200] i.e., feared their saying that the Prophet (ﷺ) had married the (former) wife of his son (which is prohibited by Allāh in the case of a true, begotten son).
[1201] By making known His command.

33:38
مَّا كَانَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِيِّ مِنۡ حَرَجٖ فِيمَا فَرَضَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُۥۖ سُنَّةَ ٱللَّهِ فِي ٱلَّذِينَ خَلَوۡاْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ وَكَانَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ قَدَرٗا مَّقۡدُورًا ٣٨
There is not to be upon the Prophet any discomfort concerning that which Allāh has imposed upon him.1 [This is] the established way of Allāh with those [prophets] who have passed on before. And ever is the command of Allāh a destiny decreed.

33:39
ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَٰلَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَخۡشَوۡنَهُۥ وَلَا يَخۡشَوۡنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا ٱللَّهَۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِيبٗا ٣٩
[Allāh praises] those who convey the messages of Allāh1 and fear Him and do not fear anyone but Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.

33:40
مَّا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَآ أَحَدٖ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمۡ وَلَٰكِن رَّسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَۗ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٗا ٤٠
Muḥammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allāh and seal [i.e., last] of the prophets. And ever is Allāh, of all things, Knowing.
33:41
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ ذِكۡرٗا كَثِيرٗا ٤١
O you who have believed, remember Allāh with much remembrance
33:42
وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكۡرَةٗ وَأَصِيلًا ٤٢
And exalt Him morning and afternoon.
33:43
