Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: (( And likewise )) like that revelation (( We revealed to you an Arabic Qur'an to warn )) to make fearful (( the Mother of Cities and those around it

The Shaykh : And likewise We revealed to you. The kaff in "likewise" here is a noun meaning "like," and it is in the accusative case as an absolute object. For this reason, the author estimated it by saying: "like that revelation". The first one said: and did not specify what was revealed. Here he said: so he specified what was revealed. Thus, here we have detail after generalization. Where is the generalization? Because what was revealed was not specified. And here, "We revealed to you a Qur'an," so it is detail after generalization. It is not hidden from us that detail after generalization is one of the great rhetorical styles of language, because when something is generalized, the soul remains eager, longing, and desiring its detail. So when the detail comes, it is like water on dry land. What does water on dry land do? It is absorbed immediately. Likewise, when detail comes after generalization, it falls upon a heart that is completely eager for the detail.
Meaning like this revelation. The address is to the Messenger, (peace and blessings be upon him), through whom? Through Jibril. Allah the Exalted said: Qur'an: meaning recited or meaning the one who recites. As for the word itself, it is a verbal noun. Qur'an is the verbal noun of qara'a (to read), just as ghufuran is the verbal noun of ghafara (to forgive), and shukran is the verbal noun of shakara (to thank). So Qur'an is a verbal noun, but is it in the meaning of the active participle, or the passive participle, or both? We have a rule mentioned earlier: if a verse or hadith can be understood in two meanings equally, and there is no contradiction between them, it must be taken to mean both. So Qur'an means the one who recites, and Qur'an means the recited. How can the Qur'an mean the one who recites? Qari means the one who gathers, and from this the village (qaryah) is named because it gathers people. So Qur'an means the one who gathers. Undoubtedly, the Qur'an is a gathering of the knowledge of the first and the last, and of every beneficial knowledge and righteous deed. And his saying: means in the language of the Arabs. Is the Arabness here Arabness of lineage or Arabness of language?
