Transliteration:( Innal lazeena yaghud doona aswaatahum 'inda Rasoolil laahi ulaaa'ikal lazeenam tah anal laahu quloobahum littaqwaa; lahum maghfiratunw wa'ajrun 'azeem )
5. Reason for its Revelation:
This verse was revealed regarding Hazrat Abi Waqs and Hazrat Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) After the revelation of the previous verse, both of them had adopted a very soft tone in their conversations.
6. This tells us that while all forms of worship are the piety of the body, the respect of the Holy Prophet is of the heart. Says Allah Almighty "And whose respects the signs of Allah, then it is from the piety of the hearts"(S22 V32) May Allah Almighty grant this to us! We further learn that Allah Almighty has tested the hearts of the Companions for piety. Thus, those who call them transgressors are denying the veracity of this verse.
The tafsir of Surah Hujurat verse 3 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Hujurat ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 3.
(49:3) The ones who lower their voices in the presence of the Messenger of Allah are those whose hearts Allah has tested for God-fearing.[5] Theirs shall be forgiveness and a great reward.
5. That is, only those people give due reverence to the Messenger (peace be upon him) of Allah, who have passed successfully through the tests and trials set by Allah and proved by their steadfastness that their hearts indeed possess taqwa (piety). From this, it follows automatically that the heart which is devoid of reverence for the Prophet (peace be upon him) is, in fact, devoid of taqwa, and a person’s raising his voice louder than the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) is not only an uncivilized act outwardly but also a sign of the absence of taqwa in his heart.
