Al-Anbiyaa

Hii ni tafsiri kwa lugha isiyo Kiarabu kama ilivyo katika Quranic Universal Library (QUL, ya Tarteel), iliyochukuliwa kupitia nakala huria ya data ya QUL inayohifadhiwa na spa5k/tafsir_api. Rekodi ya QUL haisemi ni nani aliyeiandika au kuitafsiri kwa lugha nyingine wala inafuata toleo gani lililochapishwa, na haitaji leseni kwa matini hiyo, kwa hiyo haki ya kuionyesha haijathibitishwa. Hakuna aliyeilinganisha na kitabu kilichochapishwa, na hakuna mwanazuoni aliyeihakiki. Kila kifungu kipo kando ya aya inazozifafanua, ambazo ni matini ya Qur’ani ya Tanzil, inavyoonekana huko. Sabīl haikuandika wala kutafsiri kwa lugha nyingine chochote kati yake.

Aya 89–90

وَزَكَرِيَّآ إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِى فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ 89 فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُۥ زَوْجَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يُسَـٰرِعُونَ فِى ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا۟ لَنَا خَـٰشِعِينَ 90

And (remember) Zakariyya, when he cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors. (89)So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him Yahya, and cured his wife for him. Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used to call on Us with hope and fear, and they were Khashi'in before Us (90)

Zakariyya and Yahya

Allah tells us of His servant Zakariyya, who asked Allah to grant him a son who would be a Prophet after him. The story has already been given in detail at the beginning of Surah Maryam and also in Surah 'Imran. Here an abbreviated version is given.

إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ

(when he cried to his Lord) means, in secret, hiding it from his people.

رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا

(O My Lord! Leave me not single,) means, with no child and no heir to stand among the people after me.

وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ

(though You are the Best of the inheritors.) This is a supplication and form of praise befitting the topic. Allah says:

فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ

(So We answered his call, and We bestowed upon him Yahya, and cured his wife for him.) Ibn 'Abbas, Mujahid and Sa'id bin Jubayr said: "She was barren and never had a child, then she gave birth."

إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ

(Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds,) means, acts of worship and acts of obedience towards Allah.

وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا

(and they used to call on Us with hope and fear,) Ath-Thawri said, "Hoping for that (reward) which is with Us and fearing that (punishment) which is with Us."

وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ

(and they were Khashi'in before Us.) 'Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn 'Abbas that this means, sincerely believing in that which was revealed by Allah. Mujahid said: "Truly believing." Abu Al-'Aliyah said: "Fearing." Abu Sinan said: "Khushu' means the fear which should never leave our hearts." It was also reported from Mujahid that the Khashi'in are those who are humble." Al-Hasan, Qatadah and Ad-Dahhak said, "The Khashi'in are those who humble themselves before Allah." All of these suggestions are close in meaning.
