Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets)
Allah the Exalted said: [Ar-Rahman: 76] (reclining) means: leaning on their hands and backs (on green cushions) meaning: on cushions that have a soft, flowing texture like the silk found in cushions, which is found in beds, flowing like this, reclining on the green cushions; because the green color is the most suitable for the eye and the most delightful for the heart, (and beautiful carpets) the carpet: it is the very best of carpets,Therefore, the best of every thing is called: carpets, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the vision he saw when 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away,He said: (I did not see a carpet that was not torn) meaning: it was torn from its strength (may Allah be pleased with him).
[Ar-Rahman: 76-77] And the meaning of: (so which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?) is a statement of affirmation,Meaning: that the blessings are clear, so by what will you deny?
We do not deny anything, we acknowledge the favors of Allah -Meaning: His blessings- and we affirm them, and we acknowledge that we are shortcoming, we have not thanked Allah the Exalted with the due thanks, but we believe that the forgiveness of Allah is wider than our sins, and that Allah Blessed and Exalted is a Forgiver, Generous, who loves the repentance of His servant, and He loves those who repent and those who purify themselves, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: (Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you) and he mentioned a man in a desert who lost his camel -lost it- and on it was his food and drink, so he sought it and did not find it, and he was in a desert of the earth with no one around him, so he despaired of it, and he lay down in the shade of a tree waiting for death -Meaning: he despaired of life- when he saw the rein of his camel hanging on the tree,So he took it and said: O Allah, You are my slave and I am your Lord, what does he want?He means: You are my Lord and I am Your slave, but out of the intensity of joy he made a mistake,So he said: O Allah, You are my slave and I am your Lord, so Allah the Exalted is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than this man with his camel, O Allah, accept our repentance, O Lord of the worlds.
Allah the Exalted said:
Reclining on green cushions and beautiful fine carpets.
مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَى رَفْرَفٍ خُضْرٍ وَعَبْقَرِيٍّ حِسَانٍand beautiful fine carpets. (77) So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?
وَعَبْقَرِيٍّ حِسَانٍ * فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِWe do not deny anything, we acknowledge the favors of Allah -Meaning: His blessings- and we affirm them, and we acknowledge that we are shortcoming, we have not thanked Allah the Exalted with the due thanks, but we believe that the forgiveness of Allah is wider than our sins, and that Allah Blessed and Exalted is a Forgiver, Generous, who loves the repentance of His servant, and He loves those who repent and those who purify themselves, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: (Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you) and he mentioned a man in a desert who lost his camel -lost it- and on it was his food and drink, so he sought it and did not find it, and he was in a desert of the earth with no one around him, so he despaired of it, and he lay down in the shade of a tree waiting for death -Meaning: he despaired of life- when he saw the rein of his camel hanging on the tree,So he took it and said: O Allah, You are my slave and I am your Lord, what does he want?He means: You are my Lord and I am Your slave, but out of the intensity of joy he made a mistake,So he said: O Allah, You are my slave and I am your Lord, so Allah the Exalted is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than this man with his camel, O Allah, accept our repentance, O Lord of the worlds.
