وَكِيلًا * وَاصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًا جَمِيلًا * وَذَرْنِي وَالْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُولِي النِّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا.

(from previous page) ⟵ Interpretation of Surat Al-Muzzammil 1-11 In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. {O you who wraps himself [in clothing] * Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little * Half of it - or subtract from it a little * Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation * Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word * Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for a firm stand and more suitable for speech * Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation * And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion * Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of affairs} And be patient over what they say and avoid them with a gracious avoidance * And leave Me with the deniers, those of ease, and give them a little respite.

الْمُزَّمِّلُ: الْمُتَغَطِّي بِثِيَابِهِ كَالْمُدَّثِّرِ، وَهَذَا الْوَصْفُ حَصَلَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حِينَ أَكْرَمَهُ اللَّهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَابْتَدَأَهُ بِإِنْزَالِ وَحْيِهِ بِإِرْسَالِ جِبْرِيلَ إِلَيْهِ فَرَأَى أَمْرًا لَمْ يَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَلَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الثَّبَاتِ لَهُ إِلَّا الْمُرْسَلُونَ، فَاعْتَرَاهُ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ ذَلِكَ انْزِعَاجٌ حِينَ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، فَأَتَى إِلَى أَهْلِهِ، فَقَالَ: "زَمِّلُونِي زَمِّلُونِي" وَهُوَ تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ: "اقْرَأْ" فَقَالَ: "مَا أَنَا بِقَارِئٍ" فَغَطَّهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مِنْهُ الْجَهْدُ، وَهُوَ يُعَالِجُهُ عَلَى الْقِرَاءَةِ، فَقَرَأَ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ أَلْقَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الثَّبَاتَ، وَتَابَعَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيَ، حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَبْلَغًا مَا بَلَغَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ.

Al-Muzzammil means the one wrapped in his garments, similar to Al-Muddaththir. This description applies to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when Allah honored him with His message and began the revelation by sending Gabriel. He witnessed something he had never seen before—an experience that only messengers can endure. Overcome with agitation upon seeing Gabriel (peace be upon him), he went to his family and said, 'Wrap me up! Wrap me up!' while his limbs trembled. Then Gabriel came to him and said, 'Read,' to which he replied, 'I am not a reader.' Gabriel covered him until he reached the point of exhaustion, all while urging him to read, until he finally did. Allah then bestowed steadfastness upon him, and the revelation continued until he reached a status no other messenger had attained.

فَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْظَمَ التَّفَاوُتَ بَيْنَ ابْتِدَاءِ نُبُوَّتِهِ وَنِهَايَتِهَا وَلَهَذَا خَاطَبَهُ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا الْوَصْفِ الَّذِي وُجِدَ مِنْهُ فِي أَوَّلِ أَمْرِهِ.

Exalted is Allah; how vast is the difference between the beginning of his prophethood and its end. For this reason, Allah addressed him with this description, which characterized him at the start of his mission.
