108:1Page 602

إِنَّآ أَعۡطَيۡنَٰكَ ٱلۡكَوۡثَرَ ١

Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muḥammad], al-Kawthar.

And from his narration on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that he said about the interpretation of Allah's saying (Lo! We have given thee Abundance): '(Lo! We have given thee Abundance) He says: We have given you, O Muhammad, abundant good and included in this abundant good is the Qur'an; it is also said that Abundance (al-Kawthar) refers to a river in Paradise which was given to Muhammad (pbuh);

108:2Page 602

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنۡحَرۡ ٢

So pray to your Lord and offer sacrifice [to Him alone].

(So pray unto thy Lord) in gratitude for that, (and sacrifice) face towards the Qiblah when immolating your sacrifice; it is also said this means: put your right hand on the left hand when in prayer; and it is also said this means: complete your bowing and prostration such that your upper part of the chest is plain; and it is also said that this means: pray to your Lord on the day of immolation and offer a sacrifice.

108:3Page 602

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلۡأَبۡتَرُ ٣

Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off.1

(Lo! It is thy insulter) the one who despises you ((and not thou) who is without posterity) he will be without family, children, wealth or any goodness; he will not be mentioned after his death, i.e. al-'As Ibn Wa'il al-Sahmi, while you will be mentioned with every good. This is because, when his son 'Abdullah died, they said: �Muhammad (pbuh) is without posterity�.'
