    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Hijr – Verse 52

    "When they came to him, they said 'peace' [60]. He said, 'We feel afraid of you' [61]."

    ✅ [60] Etiquette of Hospitality

    From this we learn two issues:

    1. Those who come to visit us are considered our guests, whether they were invited or not. Their presence should be honored.

    2. It is Sunnah to greet the one who arrives, not necessarily the one already sitting. This highlights the importance of initiating peace and warmth toward newcomers.

    ✅ [61] Reason for Fear and Prophetic Conduct

    Because their arrival was untimely and they had not accepted food, Hazrat Ebrahim (عليه السلام) became uneasy. At that time, refusal to eat was culturally seen as a sign of hostility.

    From this, we learn that experiencing fear is not against the status of prophethood. For example, Hazrat Musa (عليه السلام) also expressed fear when confronting Pharaoh. However, this is a natural fear of harm, not one of submission or obedience.

    Prophets never fear anyone in terms of obedience besides Allah Almighty. The Holy Qur’an affirms this principle:

    "They have no fear" (Surah Yunus, Verse 62)

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Hijr verse 52 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Hijr ayat 51 which provides the complete commentary from verse 51 through 56.

    (15:52) When they came to Abraham they said: “Peace be upon you!” He replied: Indeed we feel afraid of you.[31]

    Ala-Maududi

    (15:52) When they came to Abraham they said: “Peace be upon you!” He replied: Indeed we feel afraid of you.[31]

    31. Please compare this story of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) with that contained in (Surah Hud, Ayat 69- 76).

    (52) When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful [i.e., apprehensive] of you."
