Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And indeed, there has come to you from the news of the messengers."

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Then He said:

And there has certainly come to you some information about the [previous] messengers.

ولقد جاءك من نبأ المرسلين

[Al-An'am 6:34]

What is this news of the messengers that has come to him? It is the Qur'an. And for this reason, we find that the authentic news of the messengers is what has come in the Book and the Sunnah. These are the authentic news, as Allah the Exalted said:

Has there not reached you the news of those before you - the people of Noah and 'Aad and Thamud and those after them? No one knows them but Allah.

ألم يأتهم نبأ الذين من قبلهم قوم نوح وعاد وثمود والذين من بعدهم لا يعلمهم إلا الله

[Ibrahim 14:9]

And if it is only Allah who knows them, then what is obligatory is to receive knowledge of them from what? From Allah. And for this reason, beware of relying on what is transmitted of the news of the predecessors, except for what is authentic in the Book and the Sunnah.
