Surah Sajdah ayat 16 Tafsir Quran 32:16

﴿تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ﴾
[ السجدة: 16]

32:16 They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

Their sides withdraw they rise from their lying places the places for lying down to sleep together with the bedding in order to spend the night in prayer tahajjud to supplicate to their Lord in fear of His punishment and in hope of His mercy and they expend of what We have provided them they give voluntary alms.

Their sides desert the beds for nocturnal devotion in exchange for Allahs mercy and blessings: They prostrate their reason to divine revelation and they make invocation unto Him by comely prostration of their bodies, which act reflects dread that is mingled with veneration and reflects hope that springs eternal in their bosoms for His pitiful forbearance toward them, and they spend in benevolence of Our grace that was made to abound in them

(32:16) Their sides forsake their beds, and they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, *27 and expend (in charity) out of the sustenance We have granted them. *28

They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate meaning

*27) That is, " They worship their Lord instead of enjoying sensuous pleasures at night.
They are not like the world-worshippers, who seek entertainments in music and dancing, drinking and merry-making, in the night in order to get relief from the day's fatigue and labour and toil.
Instead, when they are free from their day's work and duties, they devote themselves to the adoration of their Lord, spend their nights in His remembrance, tremble out of fear of Him, and pin all their hopes on Him. " " Who forsake their beds " dces not mean that they do not sleep at all at night, but that they spend a part of the night in Allah's worship.

*28) In the original, rizq: lawful provisions.
Unlawful provisions have nowhere been called rizq by Allah.
The verse therefore means: They spend from whatever little or much of pure provisions We have given them; they do not overspend and do not grab unlawful wealth in order to meet their expenses.

 

( Who forsake their beds ) after sleeping a little at night ( to cry unto their Lord ) to worship their Lord by means of the five daily prayers; it is also said that they forsake their beds in order to pray the last night prayer ( ’Isha’ ); it is also said that this means: they leave their beds after sleeping a little at night to perform supererogatory prayers ( in fear ) of Him and His chastisement ( and hope ) in Him and His mercy, ( and spend ) in charity ( of what we have bestowed on them ) of wealth.

Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend (charity in Allah's Cause) out of what We have bestowed on them.
