Question:
He says: Shaykh, what is the meaning of the noble verse[Al-Baqarah 2:284]?
Answer:
It is revealed when you reveal something, whether it is speech or otherwise, or when you have an intention in your heart, for Allah will hold you accountable in both cases. This verse abrogates the verse that follows it, in His saying, Exalted and Majestic:[Al-Baqarah 2:286] those who came before us. [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. [Al-Baqarah 2:286]. This is the abrogating text for the verses before it. [Al-Baqarah 2:284]. This is the abrogated text. Yes.
He says: Shaykh, what is the meaning of the noble verse
Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it
وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُAnswer:
It is revealed when you reveal something, whether it is speech or otherwise, or when you have an intention in your heart, for Allah will hold you accountable in both cases. This verse abrogates the verse that follows it, in His saying, Exalted and Majestic:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَىOur Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear
رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned.
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْWhether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it
وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُ
