The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) clear explanation of the Qur’an to his Ummah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. What is the meaning of Aisha’s (may Allah be pleased with her) statement: “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not interpret anything of the Qur’an except this, except this, to the extent of what Jibril taught them”? Is the intention that the Prophet interpreted only a little of the Qur’an? I know that I do not find, I do not find, verses whose interpretation is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they are few.

Answer:
This is not a hadith. What the questioner mentioned is not a hadith. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded His Prophet, or entrusted it to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to make the Qur’an clear to the people. Allah the Exalted said:
And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to themوَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ
[An-Nahl 16:44]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained the Qur’an to his Ummah with a clear explanation, through his words and his deeds (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
