قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ حَيٌّ...
قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْآيَةَ حَيَّةٌ لَا تَمُوتُ فَلَوْ كَانَتِ الْآيَةُ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ فِي الْأَقْوَامِ مَاتُوا مَاتَتِ الْآيَةُ لَمَاتَ الْقُرْآنُ وَ لَكِنْ هِيَ جَارِيَةٌ فِي الْبَاقِينَ كَمَا جَرَتْ فِي الْمَاضِينَ He -asws said: ‘You speak the truth, O Abdul Rahman! The Quran is alive, will not be dying, and the Verses are alive, will not be dying.
If the Verse, when it was Revealed regarding (a certain) people, (and) they died, so the Verse would have died, the Quran would die. But it flows in the remainder, just as it had flowed in the past’. وَ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ الْقُرْآنَ حَيٌّ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَ إِنَّهُ يَجْرِي كَمَا يَجْرِي اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ وَ كَمَا يَجْرِي الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ يَجْرِي عَلَى آخِرِنَا كَمَا يَجْرِي عَلَى أَوَّلِنَا.
And Abdul Rahman said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘The Quran is alive, not dead, and it flows just as the night and the day flows, and just as the sun and the moon flow, it flows upon our -asws last one just as it had flowed upon our -asws first one’’. [11] VERSES 6 – 8 كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَيَطْغَىٰ {6} Nevertheless!
Surely, the human being is rude (acts arrogantly) [96:6] أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنَىٰ {7} Because he sees himself as needless (self-sufficient) [96:7] إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعَىٰ {8} Surely to your Lord is the return [96:8] الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا اسْتَغْنَى يَكْفُرُ وَ يَطْغَى وَ يُنْكِرُ «إِنَّ إِلى رَبِّكَ الرُّجْعى» قَوْلُهُ «أَ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهى عَبْداً إِذا صَلَّى» كَانَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ يَنْهَى النَّاسَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ أَنْ يُطَاعَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ فَقَالَ «أَ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِي يَنْهى عَبْداً إِذا صَلَّى» قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: «أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَذَّبَ وَ تَوَلَّى أَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرى» ثُمَّ قَالَ «كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعاً بِالنَّاصِيَةِ (Tafseer e Qurmi): When a man becomes self-sufficient, he disbelieves, transgresses, and denies.
“ Indeed, to your Lord is the return (96:8).” His -azwj statement, “ Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays (96:9-10) ?” Al-Walid ibn Al-Mughirah used to forbid people from praying and from obeying Allah -azwj and His Messenger -saww . So, He -azwj said, “ Have you seen the one who forbids a servant when he prays (96:13-14) ?” Allah -azwj the Most High said, “ Have you seen if he denies and turns away (96:15) ? Does he not know that Allah -azwj sees him.
Then He -azwj said, “No!
