Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "O People of the Book, there has come to you our Messenger making clear to you [what is] during a period of absence of the messengers, lest you say, 'No bringer of good news and no warner has come to us.'"

Then Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: In this single page, there is an address to the People of the Book twice: and the intended meaning is the Jews and the Christians. And he is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). "Making clear to you" is a present-tense clause in the state of the Messenger, meaning in the state of his making clear to you, that is, explaining and interpreting. Allah the Exalted did not mention "the explainer" to make it more general, because omitting the object implies generality, and this is the well-known rule in the Arabic language that omission implies generality. So here, what does he make clear? We say he makes clear everything that people need to have clarified. For this reason, Allah the Exalted said in the Noble Qur'an: . And His saying: We do not have a great benefit in knowing the exact length of this period, but we know that it was a long period estimated at about six hundred years between 'Isa and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them both), because the last of the prophets sent to the people was 'Isa (peace be upon him), and after him came Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and there was no prophet between them. Therefore, what is mentioned in some histories about Khālid ibn Sinān and so-and-so and so-and-so being prophets and being sent after 'Isa is all incorrect, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) informed us that there is no prophet between him and 'Isa. And what indicates this is that 'Isa said: So after 'Isa, only Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came. And the specific mention of this period is to make it clear that people were in the greatest need of the sending of the Messenger. And this is the reality, for Allah the Exalted looked at the inhabitants of the earth and hated them, both Arabs and non-Arabs — meaning He hated and disliked them — because they were not on a religion except for the remnants of the People of the Book, a small remnant, as He the Exalted said: "Only a few remained." And this few also needed a Messenger. For this reason, the period was specified, which is the long duration that reached about six hundred years, to make clear the intensity of people's need for the sending of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). Then He said: meaning lest you say. So "an" and "ma" which entered it here are in the position of explanation, meaning We sent him to you lest you argue and say, "No bringer of good news and no warner has come to us." And because of the length of the period, no messengers or prophets came to them, so they would argue and say, "No bringer of good news and no warner has come to us." And His saying: This is interpreted by some as superfluous in form, but it increases in meaning; it increases in the meaning of emphasis. And this rule is well known among rhetoricians: all superfluous particles imply emphasis. The original of the speech is: "No bringer of good news and no warner has come to us." This is the original, but when "min" enters, it becomes more indicative of negation than if it had not entered. For this reason, they say that negation can be a text for generalization if the negating particle is "la" or is accompanied by a superfluous preposition, whether it is "min" or "ba." Here he says: We said "min" is superfluous in terms of grammar. So who can parse it? "Bashir" is the subject, raised with a hidden dammah on its end, hidden due to the occupation of the position by the movement of the superfluous preposition, because the preposition is a verbal tool, so its effect on the form must be greater than its effect on the meaning.
External question: If we coordinate with the genitive by "min" without "min" entering it, what do we do?
The student: It raises the movement that follows it.

The Shaykh : Does it raise it obligatorily?
The student: Obligatorily.

The Shaykh : Are there two aspects? Meaning two aspects are permissible? So His saying, the Exalted: and both are correct. And the coordinated with the genitive by the superfluous preposition, it is permissible in it to consider the position and to consider the form. A bringer of good news with good, and a warner with fear of evil. Allah the Exalted said: meaning so now you have no excuse. Who is he? The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). He closed this verse with the ability, indicating that He, Blessed and Exalted is He, is able to send the messengers and able not to send the messengers, and that the matter is entirely in His hand, Blessed and Exalted is He.
