The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Say: I only advise you of one thing: that you stand for Allah, in pairs and alone, and then reflect. There is no madness in your companion; he is only a warner to you”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Then he said:

Say, "I only advise you of one

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ

[Saba 34:46]

This is the beginning of today’s lesson.

Say, "I only advise you of one [thing] - that you stand for Allah, [seeking truth] in pairs and individually, and then give thought."

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ أَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ مَثْنَى وَفُرَادَى ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوا

[Saba 34:46]

… We are now explaining

Say, "I only advise you of one [thing] - that you stand for Allah, [seeking truth] in pairs and individually, and then give thought."

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَعِظُكُمْ بِوَاحِدَةٍ أَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ مَثْنَى وَفُرَادَى ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوا

[Saba 34:46]

the meaning of “stand.” We mentioned yesterday that the meaning of “stand” is standing as opposed to sitting? No, the meaning is steadfastness in this matter. So stand firm.

and then reflect

ثم تتفكروا

Reflect on the matter of this Messenger who came to you from Allah and said that he is the Messenger of Allah.

There is not in your companion any madness

مَا بِصَاحِبِكُمْ مِنْ جِنَّةٍ

[Saba 34:46]

Is this statement from the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) to refute their claim, or are they reflecting on it? That is, as the commentator said: “So know that there is no madness in your companion”. The author proceeded on the basis that

There is not in your companion any madness

ما بصاحبكم من جنة

[Saba 34:46]

is the object of what reflection requires.
