PT. 29 AL-QALAM CH. 68 لَمْ تَسْلُهُمْ أَجْرًا فَهُمْ مِّنْ مَّغْرَمٍ Dost thou ask a reward of. 47 مثْقَلُوْنَ آمْ عِنْدَهُمُ الْغَيْبُ فَهُمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ) them that they are as if being weighed down by its burden? 4334 48. "Have They the knowledge of the unseen so that they write it down?4335 فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبَّكَ وَلَا تَكُنْ كَصَاحِبِ So be thou steadfast in. 49 carrying out the command of الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَى وَهُوَ مَحْظُوم thy Lord, and be not like the Man of the Fish when he called to his Lord and he was full of grief. 4336 لَوْلَا أَن تَدُرَكَهُ نِعْمَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهِ لَنُبِذَ Had not a favour from his. 50 Lord reached him, he would have surely been cast upon a bare tract of land, while he would have been held to be blameworthy by his people. 4 4337 بِالْعَرَاءِ وَهُوَ مَذْمُوْم "23:73; 52:41. 52:42. 21:88; 37:141. 21:89; 37:144-146. God, which grind slowly but grind unseen has been revealed to the exceedingly small. 4334. Commentary: The verse purports to say that God has granted respite to disbelievers that they may listen to and accept the Message of the Prophet who asks for no reward from them, but, on the contrary, actuated by sincere sympathy and solicitude for their spiritual well-being, preaches the Divine Word to them and suffers hardships for their sake. 4335. Commentary: The disbelievers do not know what is in store for them-what is and what is not good for them. The Prophet only. This is another reason why they should accept his Message. 4336. Commentary: The Holy Prophet is here comforted not to lose patience or give way to disappointment just because his people do not believe in him and oppose him. The time was fast approaching when they will listen, and give their allegiance, to him. 4337. Commentary: 3205 The verse may also imply a subtle hint to the Holy Prophet's Hijrah (Migration) to Medina.
