| Asad | AND LO! [See note on 2:30. The connection between this passage and the preceding one apparently lies in the fact that whereas "those who are lost in sin" (of whom the tribe of Ad is given as an example) refuse to heed God's messages, the "unseen beings" spoken of in the sequence immediately perceived their truth and accepted them.] We caused a group of unseen beings to incline towards thee, [O Muhammad,] [The term nafar signifies a group of more than three and up to ten persons. The occurrence mentioned in this passage - said to have taken place in the small oasis of Nakhlah, on the way leading from Mecca to Taif (Tabari) - is evidently identical with that described in 72:1-15; for a tentative explanation, see note on 72:1.] so that they might give ear to the Quran; and so, as soon as they became aware of it, [Lit., "as soon as they attended to it", i.e., to its recitation by the Prophet.] they said [unto one another], "Listen in silence!" And when [the recitation] was ended, they returned to their people as warners. [I.e., as preachers of the Quranic creed. The expression "as warners" connects with the preceding references to "warning messages".] |
