The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Those who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him and do not fear anyone except Allah, and sufficient is Allah as a Reckoner”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then He, the Exalted, said:
those who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him and do not fear anyone but Allah الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ وَلا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَدًا إِلَّا اللَّهَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:39]
Based on the author’s grammatical analysis that
The ones الذين
is an apposition to his statement:
those who were before الذين خلو من قبل
, one of the benefits of this noble verse is the praise of the previous messengers, due to his saying:
those who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالاتِ اللَّهِ وَيَخْشَوْنَهُ
[Al-Ahzab 33:39]
.
And among its benefits is also the praise of those who conveyed something of the Shari'ah of Allah other than the messengers. The reason for this is that He only praised the messengers because they conveyed the message and did not fear anyone; so whoever is like them in that is the one who is praised.
And among the benefits of this noble verse is that one of the attributes of the messengers (peace be upon them) is that they do not fear anyone in conveying the message, but rather they fear Allah in not conveying it. They do not fear people in conveying it, and they fear Allah in not conveying it.
And among its benefits is that conveying the message is part of the fear of Allah, for if it were not for the fear of Allah, they would not have conveyed His message.
And among its benefits is the affirmation of the previous messages, due to his saying:
those who convey the messages of Allah الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسَالاتِ اللَّهِ
[Al-Ahzab 33:39]
Know that there is no nation among the nations to whom Allah did not send a messenger, so that the argument is removed from Allah and the excuse is eliminated.
And among the benefits of this noble verse is that the preservation of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is at the utmost degree of preservation, due to his saying:
and sufficient is Allah as a Reckoner وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا
This is if we take “Reckoner” to mean the Preserver and the Sufficient, due to His saying, the Exalted:
And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
[Al-Talaq: 3]. As for if we take “Reckoner” to mean the Reckoner, then a benefit is derived from it, which is the perfection of the reckoning of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, of His servants, and that nothing escapes Him.
It is derived from this noble verse: the affirmation of the knowledge of Allah, due to his saying:
and sufficient is Allah as a Reckoner وَكَفَى بِاللَّهِ حَسِيبًا
Whether “Reckoner” means the Reckoner or the Preserver, there is no reckoning except with knowledge, and no preservation except with knowledge. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: [This is the beginning of today’s lesson]
