Mentioning the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) as evidence for the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) fulfillment of what he was commanded to convey, namely the transmission of the words of the Qur'an.

The Shaykh: However, in the context of clarifying each of the two explanations, I will mention the hadith of Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), which al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated in their "Sahih" collections from Misraq (may Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the great and most distinguished of the Tabi'un. It states: "He came to Lady Aisha and said to her: 'O Mother of the Believers, inform me about the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic): [Al-Ma'idah 5:67].' Excuse me, this is in the full text of the hadith: He said to her: 'O Mother of the Believers, did Muhammad see his Lord?' She said: 'My hair stood on end when you said that.' He said: 'O Mother of the Believers, have mercy on me and do not rush me; does not Allah (Mighty and Majestic) say: [An-Najm 53:13-14]?!' She said (may Allah be pleased with her): 'I am the most knowledgeable of people about that. I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the verse, and he said: "I saw Jibril in the form in which he was created, twice, and he had six hundred wings, and he filled the horizon."' This means that the verse does not mean that Muhammad saw his Lord, but rather that he saw Jibril (peace be upon him) as Allah created him, with six hundred wings, and due to his greatness, he filled the horizon. Then—and here is the point relevant to the establishment of the Noble Qur'an by its words—she said: 'Whoever tells you about these three things has committed a great lie against Allah. Whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord has committed a great lie against Allah. Whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord has committed a great lie against Allah . Then she recited His saying (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Ash-Shuraa 42:51], , meaning by means of Jibril (peace be upon him), or inspiration into the soul, or from behind a veil. And she also recited His saying (Blessed and Exalted is He): [Al-An'am 6:103]. Then she said: . Then she recited the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic): [An-Naml 27:65]. Then she recited—and here is the point: 'And whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) concealed anything he was commanded to convey has committed a great lie against Allah.' Then she recited the verse mentioned earlier: [Al-Ma'idah 5:67]. This is the narration of the two Shaykhs in their "Sahih" collections. Imam Muslim added, with a sound chain, that she said: 'If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had concealed anything he was commanded to convey, he would have concealed the saying of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).'"
The questioner : .
The Shaykh: This is[Al-Ahzab 33:37], [Al-Ahzab 33:37]. There is no doubt that in this verse there is an explicit text that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) expressed reproach to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically in the end of the verse: [Al-Ahzab 33:37]. Therefore, Lady Aisha said: 'If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had concealed anything he was commanded to convey, he would have concealed this verse.' But far be it from him, for he was commanded to convey it; therefore, he (peace be upon him), as the preachers always say, conveyed the message, fulfilled the trust, and may Allah reward him well for the Muslims. This is the first explanation, namely the transmission of the verses of the Qur'an and the words of the Qur'an to the people as Allah revealed them to the heart of Muhammad (peace be upon him). Even if some of these verses contained some beautiful reproach, such as His saying, such as His saying: , [Al-Anfal 8:68], and so on, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not conceal anything of what he was commanded to convey in terms of its words.
O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord
يَاأَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ(13) And he certainly saw him in another descent (14) At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ نَزْلَةً أُخْرَى * عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَىAnd it is not for any human being that Allah should speak to him except by revelation or from behind a partition
وَمَا كَانَ لِبَشَرٍ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَحْيًا أَوْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍexcept by revelation
إِلَّا وَحْيًاVision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision
لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصَارَAnd whoever tells you that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) knew what was in tomorrow has committed a great lie against Allah
ومَن حدَّثكم بأن محمدًا - صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم - كان يعلم ما في الغد فقد أعظم على الله الفريةSay, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah
قُلْ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُO Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people
يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ مَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَمَا بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَاللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِThe questioner :
When Zayd had finished with her
فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَاThe Shaykh: This is
And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife
وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ"Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him.
أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُAnd you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him
وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُHe frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him.
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى * أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىIf not for a decree from Allah that preceded, you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.
لَوْلَا كِتَابٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِيمَا أَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
