TAFSEER SURAH BALAD BY IBN KATHIR
Which was revealed in Makkah

﴾ ‫﴿ِبْس ِم ِهَّللا الَّرْح َم ـِن الَّر ِح يِم‬

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Swearing by the Sanctity of Makkah and Other Things that Man was created in
Hardship
Here Allah has sworn by Makkah, the Mother of the Towns, addressing its resident (during
the non-sacred months,) free in this city in order to draw his attention to the significance of its
sanctity when its people are in the state of sanctity. Khusayf reported from Mujahid;

﴾ ‫﴿َال ُأْقِس ُم ِبَهـَذ ا اْلَبَلِد‬

(Nay! I swear by this city;) “The word “La” (Nay) refers to the refutation against them
(Quraish). I swear by this city.” Shabib bin Bishr narrated from `Ikrimah, from Ibn `Abbas
that he said,

﴾ ‫﴿َال ُأْقِس ُم ِبَهـَذ ا اْلَبَلِد‬

(Nay! I swear by this city;) “This means Makkah.” Concerning the Ayah:

﴾ ‫﴿َو َأنَت ِح ٌّل ِبَهـَذ ا اْلَبَلِد‬

(And you are free in this city.) he (Ibn `Abbas) said, “O Muhammad! It is permissable for
you to fight in it.” Similar was reported from Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Salih, `Atiyah, Ad-
Dahhak, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, “Allah made it lawful (to
fight in) for him (the Prophet ) for one hour of a day.” The meaning of what they have said
was mentioned in a Hadith that is agreed- upon as being authentic. In it the Prophet said,

،‫ َفُهَو َحَر اٌم ِبُحْر َم ِة ِهللا ِإَلى َيْو م اْلِقَياَم ِة اَل ُيْع َض ُد َش َج ُر ُه َو اَل ُيْخ َتَلى َخاَل ُه‬، ‫«ِإَّن َهَذ ا اْلَبَلَد َح َّر َم ُه ُهللا َيْو َم َخ َلَق الَّسمَو اِت َو اَأْلْر َض‬
»‫ َأاَل َفْلُيَبِّلِغ الَّش اِهُد اْلَغاِئب‬،‫ َو َقْد َعاَد ْت ُحْر َم ُتَها اْلَيْو َم َكُحْر َم ِتَها ِباَأْلْم ِس‬،‫َو ِإَّنَم ا ُأِح َّلْت ِلي َس اَع ٌة ِم ْن َنَهاٍر‬
(Verily, Allah made this city sacred on the Day that He created the heavens and the earth.
Therefore, it is sacred by the sanctity of Allah until the Day of Judgement. Its trees should not
be uprooted, and its bushes and grasses should not be removed. And it was only made lawful
for me (to fight in) for one hour of a day. Today its sanctity has been restored just as it was
sacred yesterday. So, let the one who is present inform those who are absent.) In another
wording of this Hadith, he said,
 »‫ ِإَّن َهللا َأِذ َن ِلَر ُسوِلِه َو َلْم َيْأَذْن َلُك م‬:‫«َفِإْن َأَح ٌد َتَر َّخ َص ِبِقَتاِل َر ُسوِل ِهللا َفُقوُلوا‬
(So, if anyone tries to use the fighting of the Messenger (to conquer Makkah) as an excuse (to
fight there), then tell him that Allah permitted it for His Messenger and He has not permitted
it for you.) Concerning Allah’s statement,

﴾ ‫﴿َو َو اِلٍد َو َم ا َو َلَد‬

(And by the begetter and that which he begot.) Mujahid, Abu Salih, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak,
Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Sa`id bin Jubayr, As-Suddi, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Khusayf, Shurahbil bin
Sa`d and others have said, “Meaning, by the begetter, Adam, and that which he begot is his
children.” This view that Mujahid and his companions have chosen is good and strong. This
is supported by the fact that Allah swears by the Mother of the Towns, which are dwellings.
Then after it He swears by the dwellers therein, who is Adam, the father of mankind, and his
children. Abu `Imran Al-Jawni said, “It refers to Ibrahim and his progeny.” Ibn Jarir recorded
this statement as did Ibn Abi Hatim. Ibn Jarir preferred the view that it is general and it refers
to every father and his children. This meaning is also acceptable. Allah then says,

﴾ ‫﴿َلَقْد َخ َلْقَنا اِإل نَس ـَن ِفى َك َبٍد‬

(Verily, We have created man in Kabad.) Ibn Abi Najih and Jurayj reported from `Ata, from
Ibn `Abbas concerning the phrase `in Kabad’, “He was created while in hardship. Don’t you
see him” Then he mentioned his birth and the sprouting of his teeth. Mujahid said,

﴾ ‫﴿ِفى َك َبٍد‬
(in Kabad.) “A drop of sperm, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, enduring in his creation.”
Mujahid then said, “This is similar to Allah’s statement,

﴾‫﴿َح َم َلْتُه ُأُّم ُه ُك ْر هًا َوَو َضَع ْتُه ُك ْر هًا‬

(His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship.) (46:15) and
she breast-feeds him with hardship, and his livelihood is a hardship. So he endures all of
this.” Sa`id bin Jubayr said,

﴾ ‫﴿َلَقْد َخ َلْقَنا اِإل نَس ـَن ِفى َك َبٍد‬

(Verily, We have created man in Kabad.) “In hardship and seeking livelihood.” `Ikrimah said,
“In hardship and long-suffering.” Qatadah said, “In difficulty.” It is reported from Al-Hasan
that he said, “Enduring the hardships of the world by life and the severity of the Hereafter.”

Man is encompassed by Allah and His Bounties

Allah says,

﴾ ‫﴿َأَيْح َس ُب َأن َّلن َيْقِدَر َع َلْيِه َأَح ٌد‬

(Does he think that none can overcome him) Al-Hasan Al-Basri said,

﴾ ‫﴿َأَيْح َس ُب َأن َّلن َيْقِدَر َع َلْيِه َأَح ٌد‬

(Does he think that none can overcome him) “Meaning no one is able to take his wealth.”
Qatadah said,

﴾ ‫﴿َأَيْح َس ُب َأن َّلن َيْقِدَر َع َلْيِه َأَح ٌد‬

(Does he think that none can overcome him) “The Son of Adam thinks that he will not be
asked about this wealth of his — how he earned and how he spent it.” Allah said:

﴾ ‫﴿َيُقوُل َأْهَلْكُت َم اًال ُّلَبدًا‬

(He says: “I have wasted wealth in abundance!”) This means, the Son of Adam says, “I spent
an abundance of wealth.” Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others have said this.

﴾ ‫﴿َأَيْح َس ُب َأن َّلْم َيَرُه َأَح ٌد‬

(Does he think that none sees him) Mujahid said, “Does he think that Allah, the Mighty and
Majestic, does not see him.” Others among the Salaf have said similar to this. Allah said;

﴾ ‫﴿َأَلْم َنْج َع ل َّلُه َع ْيَنْيِن‬

(Have We not made for him two eyes) meaning, for him to see with them.

﴾‫﴿َو ِلَس انًا‬

(And a tongue) meaning, for him to speak with, and so that he can express that which is
inside of him.

﴾ ‫﴿َو َشَفَتْيِن‬
(and two lips) In order to help him with speaking, eating food, and beautifying his face and
his mouth.

The Ability to distinguish between Good and Evil is also a Blessing

﴾ ‫﴿َو َهَدْيَنـُه الَّنْج َديِن‬

(And shown him the two ways) This refers to the two paths. Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrated
from `Asim, from Zirr, from `Abdullah bin Mas`ud that he said,

﴾ ‫﴿َو َهَدْيَنـُه الَّنْج َديِن‬

(And shown him the two ways) “The good and the evil.” Similar to this has been reported
from `Ali, Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Abu Wa’il, Abu Salih, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Ad-
Dahhak, and `Ata’ Al-Khurasani among others. Similar to this Ayah is Allah’s statement,

﴾ ‫﴿ِإَّنا َخ َلْقَنا اِإل نَس ـَن ِم ن ُّنْطَفٍة َأْم َش اٍج َّنْبَتِليِه َفَجَع ْلَنـُه َسِم يعًا َبِص يرًا – ِإَّنا َهَدْيَنـُه الَّس ِبيَل ِإَّم ا َش اِكرًا َو ِإَّم ا َك ُفورًا‬
(Verily, We have created man from Nutfah Amshaj, in order to try him: so We made him
hearer and seer. Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful.)
(76:2-3)

The Encouragement to traverse upon the Path of Goodness

Ibn Zayd said,

﴾ ‫﴿َفَال اقَتَح َم اْلَع َقَبَة‬

(But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep.) “This means, will he not traverse
upon the path which contains salvation and good Then He explains this path by his saying,

﴾ ‫﴿َو َم آ َأْد َر اَك َم ا اْلَع َقَبُة – َفُّك َر َقَبٍة َأْو ِإْطَع اٌم‬
(And what will make you know the path that is steep Freeing a neck, or giving food.)” Imam
Ahmad recorded from Sa`id bin Marjanah that he heard Abu Hurayrah saying that the
Messenger of Allah said,

، ‫ َو ِبالِّر ْج ِل الِّر ْج َل‬،‫«َم ْن َأْعَتَق َر َقَبًة ُم ؤِم َنًة َأْعَتَق ُهللا ِبُك ِّل ِإْر ٍب َأْي ُعْض ٍو ِم ْنَها ِإْر ًبا ِم ْنُه ِم َن الَّناِر َح ْتى ِإَّنُه َلُيْع ِتُق ِباْلَيِد اْلَيَد‬
»‫َو ِباْلَفْر ِج اْلَفْر ج‬
(Whoever frees a believing slave, Allah will free for every limb (of the slave) one of his
limbs from the Fire. This is to such an extent that He (Allah) will free a hand for a hand, a leg
for a leg, and a private part for a private part.) `Ali bin Al-Husayn then said (to Sa`id), “Did
you hear this from Abu Hurayrah” Sa`id replied, “Yes.” Then `Ali bin Al-Husayn said to a
slave boy that he owned who was the swiftest of his servants, “Call Mutarrif!” So when the
slave was brought before him he said, “Go, for you are free for the Face of Allah.” Al-
Bukhari, Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i, all recorded this Hadith from Sa`id bin Marjanah.
Imam Ahmad recorded from `Amr bin `Abasah that the Prophet said,
 ‫«َم ْن َبَنى َم ْس ِج ًدا ِلُيْذ َك َر ُهْللا ِفيِه َبَنى ُهْللا َلُه َبْيًتا ِفي اْلَج َّنِة َو َم ْن َأْعَتَق َنْفًسا ُم ْس ِلَم ًة َكاَنْت ِفْد َيَتُه ِم ْن َجَهَّنَم َو َم ْن َش اَب َشْيَبًة ِفي‬
»‫اِإْل ْس اَل ِم َكاَنْت َلُه ُنوًرا َيْو َم اْلِقَياَم ة‬
(Whoever builds a Masjid so that Allah may be remembered in it, Allah will build a house for
him in Paradise; and whoever frees a Muslim person, then it will be his ransom from Hell;
and whoever grows grey in Islam, then it will be a light for him on the Day of Judgement.)
According to another route of transmission, Ahmad recorded from Abu Umamah, who
reported from `Amr bin `Abasah that As-Sulami said to him, “Narrate a Hadith to us that you
heard from the Messenger of Allah , without any deficiency or mistakes.” He (`Amr) said, “I
heard him saying,

‫ َو َم ْن َش اَب َشْيَبًة ِفي‬، ‫«َم ْن ُوِلَد َلُه َثاَل َثُة َأْو اَل ٍد ِفي اِإْل ْس اَل ِم َفَم اُتوا َقْبَل َأْن َيْبُلُغ وا اْلِح ْنَث َأْدَخ َلُه ُهللا اْلَج َّنَة ِبَفْض ِل َر ْح َم ِتِه ِإَّياُهْم‬
‫ َو َم ْن َأْعَتَق‬،‫ َو َم ْن َر َم ى ِبَس ْهم ِفي َس ِبيِل ِهللا َبَلَغ ِبِه اْلَع ُد َّو َأَص اَب َأْو َأْخ َطَأ َك اَن َلُه ِع ْتُق َر َقَبٍة‬،‫َس ِبيِل ِهللا َكاَنْت َلُه ُنوًرا َيْو َم اْلِقَياَم ِة‬
‫ َو َم ْن َأْنَفَق َز ْو َج ْيِن ِفي َس ِبيِل ِهللا َفِإَّن ِلْلَج َّنِة َثَم اِنَيَة َأْبَو اٍب ُيْد ِخ ُلُه ُهللا‬، ‫َر َقَبًة ُم ْؤ ِم َنـًة َأْعَتَق ُهللا ِبُك ِّل ُعْض ٍو ِم ْنُه ُعْض ًو ا ِم ْنُه ِم َن الَّناِر‬
»‫ِم ْن َأِّي َباٍب َش اَء ِم ْنَها‬
(Whoever has three children born to him in Islam, and they die before reaching the age of
puberty, Allah will enter him into Paradise by virtue of His mercy to them. And whoever
grows gray in the way of Allah (fighting Jihad), then it will be a light for him on the Day of
Judgement. And whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah (fighting Jihad) that reaches
the enemy, whether it hits or misses, he will get the reward of freeing a slave. And whoever
frees a believing slave, then Allah will free each of his limbs from the Fire for every limb that
the slave has. And whoever equipped two riding animals in the way of Allah (for fighting
Jihad), then indeed Paradise has eight gates, and Allah will allow him to enter any of them he
choses.)” Ahmad recorded this Hadith from different routes of transmission that are good and
strong, and all praise is due to Allah.Allah said,

﴾ ‫﴿َأْو ِإْطَع اٌم ِفى َيْو ٍم ِذ ى َم ْسَغ َبٍة‬

(Or giving food in a day full of Masghabah,) Ibn `Abbas said, “Of hunger.” `Ikrimah,
Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah and others all said the same. The word `Saghb’ means hunger.
Then Allah says,

﴾‫﴿َيِتيمًا‬
(To an orphan) meaning, he gives food on a day like this to an orphan.

﴾‫﴿َذ ا َم ْقَرَبٍة‬
(near of kin.) meaning, who is related to him. Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak
and As-Suddi all said this. This is similar to what was related in a Hadith that was collected
by Imam Ahmad on the authority of Salman bin `Amir who said that he heard the Messenger
of Allah say,

»‫ َص َد َقٌة َو ِص َلة‬: ‫«الَّصَد َقُة َع َلى اْلِم ْس ِكيِن َص َد َقٌة َو َع َلى ِذ ي الَّر ِح ِم اْثَنَتاِن‬
(Charity given to the poor person is counted as one charity, while if it is given to a relative it
is counted as two: charity and connecting the ties (of kinship).) At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa’i
both recorded this Hadith and its chain of narration is authentic. Then Allah says,

﴾ ‫﴿َأْو ِم ْس ِكينًا َذ ا َم ْتَرَبٍة‬

(Or to a Miskin cleaving to dust (Dha Matrabah).) meaning, poor, miserable, and clinging to
the dirt. It means those who are in a state of destitution. Ibn `Abbas said, “Dha Matrabah is
that who is dejected in the street and who has no house or anything else to protect him against
the dirt.” Allah said;

﴾‫﴿ُثَّم َك اَن ِم َن اَّلِذ يَن َء اَم ُنوْا‬

(Then he became one of those who believed) meaning, then, along with these beautiful and
pure characteristics, he was a believer in his heart, seeking the reward of that from Allah.
This is as Allah says,

﴾ ‫﴿َو َم ْن َأَر اَد اٌّالِخَر َة َو َسَع ى َلَها َس ْع َيَها َو ُهَو ُم ْؤ ِم ٌن َفُأوَلـِئَك َك اَن َس ْعُيُهم َّم ْشُك وًرا‬
(And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it
while he is believer, then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated.) (17:19)
Allah also says,

﴾ ‫﴿َم ْن َع ِمَل َص ـِلحًا ِّم ن َذ َك ٍر َأْو ُأْنَثى َو ُهَو ُم ْؤ ِم ٌن‬

(Whoever works righteousness — whether male or female — while being a true believer….)
(16:97) Allah says,

﴾‫﴿َو َتَو اَص ْو ْا ِبالَّصْبِر َو َتَو اَص ْو ْا ِباْلَم ْر َح َم ِة‬

(and recommended one another to patience, and recommended one another to compassion.)
meaning, he was from the believers who worked righteous deeds, and advised each other to
be patient with the harms of the people, and to be merciful with them. This is similar to what
has been related in the noble Hadith,

»‫ اْر َحُم وا َم ْن ِفي اَأْلْر ِض َيْر َحْم ُك ْم َم ْن ِفي الَّسَم اء‬، ‫«الَّراِحُم وَن َيْر َحُم ُهُم الَّرْح مُن‬
(The merciful people will be treated with mercy by the Most Merciful (Allah). Be merciful to
those who are on the earth and He Who is above the heavens will be merciful to you.) In
another Hadith he said,

»‫«اَل َيْر َح ُم ُهللا َم ْن اَل َيْر َح ِم الَّناس‬

(Allah will not be merciful with whoever is not merciful with the people.) Abu Dawud
recorded from `Abdullah bin `Amr that he narrated (from the Prophet ),

»‫«َم ْن َلْم َيْر َح ْم َصِغ يَر َنا َو َيْع ِر ْف َح َّق َك ِبيِر َنا َفَلْيَس ِم َّنا‬
(Whoever does not show mercy to our children, nor does he recognize the right of our elders,
then he is not of us.) Then Allah says,

﴾ ‫﴿ُأْو َلـِئَك َأْص َح ـُب اْلَم ْيَم َنِة‬

(They are those on the Right,) meaning, those who have these characteristics are the
companions of the Right Hand.

The Companions of the Left Hand and Their Recompense

Then Allah says,

﴾ ‫﴿َو اَّلِذ يَن َكَفُروْا ِبَـاَيـِتَنا ُهْم َأْص َح ـُب اْلَم ْش َـَم ِة‬
(But those who disbelieved in Our Ayat, they are those on the Left.) meaning, the
companions of the Left Hand.

﴾ ‫﴿َع َلْيِه ْم َناٌر ُّم ْؤ َص َد ُة‬

(Upon them Fire will Mu’sadah.) meaning, it will be sealed over them and there will be no
way for them to avoid it, nor will they have any way out. Abu Hurayrah, Ibn `Abbas,
`Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Mujahid, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, Al-
Hasan, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said,

﴾‫﴿ُّم ْؤ َص َد ُة‬
(Mu’sadah.) “This means shut.” Ibn `Abbas said, “Its doors will be closed.” Ad-Dahhak said,

﴾‫﴿ُّم ْؤ َص َد ُة‬
(Mu’sadah.) “It will be sealed over them and it will have no door.” Qatadah said,

﴾‫﴿ُّم ْؤ َص َد ُة‬
(Mu’sadah.) “It will be shut and there will be no light in it, no crevice (escape), and no way
out of it forever.” This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Balad, and all praise and blessings
are due to Allah.
