The Ruling on Reciting the End of Surat al-Baqarah to the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you and bless you.
The questioner:
This questioner says: Did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recite to the Companions from the end of Surat al-Baqarah[Al-Baqarah 2:284]? I ask that you pause with the verse.
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. I do not know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite these verses from the end of Surat al-Baqarah. When these verses were revealed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and they included the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Baqarah 2:284], the Companions came and knelt on their knees before the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: You have imposed on us a task that we can bear, but we cannot bear this verse [Al-Baqarah 2:284]. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say, "We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us." So they said it. When they said it and their tongues became accustomed to it, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, revealed [At-Talaq 65:7], and He made it easy for them, abrogating that with the saying of Allah the Exalted [Al-Baqarah 2:284], abrogating it with His saying [Al-Baqarah 2:286], up to the end of the verses. Yes.
May Allah greet you and bless you.

To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it
لِّلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُThe Shaykh:

وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّهُ(peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you want to say as the Children of Israel said to Moses: "Go, you and your Lord, and fight, for we are sitting here"? But rather, say: "We believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us."
صلى الله عليه وسلم أتريدون أن تقولوا كما قال بنو إسرائيل لموسى اذهب أنت وربك فقاتلا إنا هاهنا قاعدون لكنAllah does not charge a soul except
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّاWhether 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 اللَّهُAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
