| Asad | And, verily, [the essence of] this [revelation] is indeed found in the ancient books of divine wisdom [as well]. [Lit., "in the scriptures (zubur, sing. zabur) of the ancients" (see 21:105). This interpretation of the above verse - advanced among others by Zamakhshari and Baydawi (and, according to the former, attributed to Imam Abu Hanifah as well) - is in full consonance with the oft-repeated Quranic doctrine that the basic teachings revealed to Muhammad are in their purport (manni) identical with those preached by the earlier prophets. Another, more popular interpretation is, "... this [Quran] has been mentioned [or "foretold"] in the earlier scriptures" (see in this connection note on 2:42 and - with particular reference to a prediction made by Jesus - note on 61:6.)] |
