Quran 108:2 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Which was revealed in Al-Madinah and They also say in Makkah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
«لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آنِفًا سُورَة»
( Verily, a Surah was just revealed to me. ) Then he recited,
إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـكَ الْكَوْثَرَ - فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ - إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الاٌّبْتَرُ
( Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar.
Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice.
For he who hates you, he will be cut off. ) Then he said,
«أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ؟»
( Do you all know what is Al-Kawthar ) We said, `Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said,
«فَإِنَّهُ نَهَرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ،عَلَيْهِ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ، هُوَ حَوْضٌ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَقُولُ: رَبِّ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي، فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ بَعْدَك»
( Verily, it is a river that my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has promised me and it has abundant goodness.
It is a pond where my Ummah will be brought to on the Day of Judgement.
Its containers are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Then a servant of Allah from among them will be (prevented from it ) and I will say: "O Lord! Verily, he is from my Ummah ( followers )." Then He ( Allah ) will say: "Verily, you do not know what he introduced ( or innovated ) after you.)" This is the wording of Muslim.
Ahmad recorded this Hadith from Muhammad bin Fudayl, who reported from Al-Mukhtar bin Fulful, who reported it from Anas bin Malik.
Imam Ahmad also recorded from Anas that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنَهْرٍ حَافَتَاهُ خِيَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ، فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَى مَا يَجْرِي فِيهِ الْمَاءُ، فَإِذَا مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ، قُلْتُ: مَاهَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْكَوْثَرُ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَهُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَل»
( I entered Paradise and I came to a river whose banks had tents made of pearls.
So I thrust my hand into its flowing water and found that it was the strongest (smell ) of musk.
So I asked, "O Jibril! What is this" He replied, "This is Al-Kawthar which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic has given you.") Al-Bukhari recorded this in his Sahih, and so did Muslim, on the authority of Anas bin Malik.
In their version Anas said, "When the Prophet was taken up to the heaven, he said,
«أَتَيْتُ عَلَى نَهْرٍ حَافَتَاهُ قِبَابُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمُجَوَّفِ فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا يَا جِبْرِيلُ؟ قَالَ: هَذَا الْكَوْثَر»
( I came to a river whose banks had domes of hollowed pearl.
I said: "O Jibril! What is this" He replied: "This is Al-Kawthar." )" This is the wording of Al-Bukhari.
Ahmad recorded from Anas that a man said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is Al-Kawthar" He replied,
«هُوَ نَهْرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَعْطَانِيهِ رَبِّي، لَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ، فِيهِ طُيُورٌ أَعْنَاقُهَا كَأَعْنَاقِ الْجُزُر»
( It is a river in Paradise which my Lord has given me.
It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.
There are birds in it whose necks are (long ) like carrots.) `Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Verily, they ( the birds ) will be beautiful." The Prophet replied,
«آكِلُهَا أَنْعَمُ مِنْهَا يَا عُمَر»
( The one who eats them (i.e., the people of Paradise ) will be more beautiful than them, O `Umar.) Al-Bukhari recorded from Sa`id bin Jubayr that Ibn `Abbas said about Al-Kawthar, "It is the good which Allah gave to him ( the Prophet )." Abu Bishr said, "I said to Sa`id bin Jubayr, `Verily, people are claiming that it is a river in Paradise."' Sa`id replied, `The river which is in Paradise is part of the goodness which Allah gave him."' Al-Bukhari also recorded from Sa`id bin Jubayr that Ibn `Abbas said, "Al-Kawthar is the abundant goodness." This explanation includes the river and other things as well.
Because the word Al-Kawthar comes from the word Kathrah ( abundance ) and it ( Al-Kawthar ) linguistically means an abundance of goodness.
So from this goodness is the river ( in Paradise ).
Imam Ahmad recorded from Ibn `Umar that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«الْكَوْثَرُ نَهْرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَافَتَاهُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَالْمَاءُ يَجْرِي عَلَى اللُّؤْلُؤِ، وَمَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَل»
( Al-Kawthar is a river in Paradise whose banks are of gold and it runs over pearls.
Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. ) This Hadith was recorded in this manner by At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir.
At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih." Then Allah says,
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ
( Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice. ) meaning, `just as We have given you the abundant goodness in this life and the Hereafter -- and from that is the river that has been described previously -- then make your obligatory and optional prayer, and your sacrifice ( of animals ) solely and sincerely for your Lord.
Woship Him alone and do not associate any partner with him.
And sacrifice pronouncing His Name alone, without ascribing any partner to Him.' This is as Allah says,
قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاَتِى وَنُسُكِى وَمَحْيَاىَ وَمَمَاتِى للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَ - لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَاْ أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
( Say: "Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
He has no partner.
And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of the Muslims." ) ( 6:162-163 ) Ibn `Abbas, `Ata,' Mujahid, `Ikrimah and Al-Hasan all said, "This means with this the Budn should be sacrificed." Qatadah, Muhammad bin Ka`b Al-Qurazi, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi`, `Ata' Al-Khurasani, Al-Hakam, Isma`il bin Abi Khalid and others from the Salaf have all said the same.
This is the opposite of the way of the idolators, prostrating to other than Allah and sacrificing in other than His Name.
Allah says,
وَلاَ تَأْكُلُواْ مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ
( And do not eat from what Allah's Name has not been pronounced over, indeed that is Fisq. ) ( 6:121 )
The Enemy of the Prophet is Cut Off
Allah says,
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الاٌّبْتَرُ
( For he who hates you, he will be cut off. ) meaning, `indeed he who hates you, O Muhammad, and he hates what you have come with of guidance, truth, clear proof and manifest light, he is the most cut off, meanest, lowliest person who will not be remembered.
Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr and Qatadah all said, "This Ayah was revealed about Al-`As bin Wa'il.
Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would be mentioned ( in his presence ) he would say, `Leave him, for indeed he is a man who is cut off having no descendants.
So when he dies he will not be remembered.' Therefore, Allah revealed this Surah." Shamir bin `Atiyah said, "This Surah was revealed concerning `Uqbah bin Abi Mu`ayt." Ibn `Abbas and `Ikrimah have both said, "This Surah was revealed about Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf and a group of the disbelievers of the Quraysh." Al-Bazzar recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "Ka`b bin Al-Ashraf came to Makkah and the Quraysh said to him, `You are the leader of them ( the people ).
What do you think about this worthless man who is cut off from his people He claims that he is better than us while we are the people of the place of pilgrimage, the people of custodianship ( of the Ka`bah ), and the people who supply water to the pilgrims.' He replied, `You all are better than him.' So Allah revealed,
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الاٌّبْتَرُ
( For he who hates you, he will be cut off. )" This is how Al-Bazzar recorded this incident and its chain of narration is authentic.
It has been reported that `Ata' said, "This Surah was revealed about Abu Lahab when a son of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died.
Abu Lahab went to the idolators and said, `Muhammad has been cut off ( i.e., from progeny ) tonight.' So concerning this Allah revealed,
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الاٌّبْتَرُ
( For he who hates you, he will be cut off. )" As-Suddi said, "When the male sons of a man died the people used to say, `He has been cut off.' So, when the sons of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
died they said, `Muhammad has been cut off.' Thus, Allah revealed,
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الاٌّبْتَرُ
( For he who hates you, he will be cut off. )" So they thought in their ignorance that if his sons died, his remembrance would be cut off.
Allah forbid! To the contrary, Allah preserved his remembrance for all the world to see, and He obligated all the servants to follow his Law.
This will continue for all of time until the Day of Gathering and the coming of the Hereafter.
May the blessings of Allah and His peace be upon him forever until the Day of Assembling.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Kawthar, and all praise and blessings are due to Allah.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(108:2) So offer Prayer and sacrifice *2 to your Lord alone.
So pray to your Lord and sacrifice meaning
*2) Different commentaries of it have been reported from different scholars.
Some of them take the Prayer to mean the five times obligatory Prayer ( salat ); some take it to imply the Prayer of `Id al-Adha, and some say that it implies the Prayer itself.
Likewise, the meaning of wanhar and sacrifice according to some illustrious scholars, is to place the right hand over the left hand and to fold them on the chest in the Prayer; some say that it implies raising both hands with Allahu Akbar at the commencement of the Prayer; some say that it implies raising both hands at the commencement of the Prayer, at bowing for Ruku ` and after rising from Ruku `; and some say that it means performing the `Id al-Adha Prayer and then offering the animal sacrifice.
But if the context in which this command has been enjoined, is considered, its meaning clearly seems to be: " O Prophet, when your Lord has granted you so many and so splendid blessing, then you should perform the Prayer only for His sake and offer sacrifice only for His sake. " This Command was given in the environment when not only the pagans of Quraish but the pagans of entire Arabia and the world worshipped their self-made gods and offered sacrifices at their shrines.
Therefore, the intention of the Command is "Contrary to the polytheistic practice, you should remain steadfast to your creed: your Prayer is only for Allah and your sacrifice also is for Him alone, as it has been said at another place: `Declare, O Prophet, my salat and my sacrifice and my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the universe, Who has no partner with Him.
This is what I have been enjoined, and I am the first to surrender to Him.'( Al-An`am:162-163 ).
This same meaning has been explained of it by Ibn 'Abbas.
`Ata`, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Hasan Bari, Qatadah, Muhammad bin Ka`b al-Kurzi, Dahhak, Rabi` bin Anas, `Ata` al-Khurasani and many other major commentators ( may Allah bless them all ) ( Ibn Jarir ).
However, this by itself is correct that when the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace ) enforced by Allah's command the practice of the `Id al-Adha Prayer and the offering of animal sacrifice at Madinah, he himself gave the first place to the Prayer (salat and the second to the sacrifice, as commanded in the verses: Inna salati wa nusuki and fa-salli li-Rabbika wanhar, and enjoined an the Muslims also to do the same, i.e.
they should first perform the Prayer and then offer the sacrifice.
This is neither the explanation of this verse nor the occasion of its revelation but a deduction made by the Holy Prophet from these verses and his deduction of injunctions also is a kind of Divine inspiration.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( So pray unto thy Lord ) in gratitude for that, ( and sacrifice ) face towards the Qiblah when immolating your sacrifice; it is also said this means: put your right hand on the left hand when in prayer; and it is also said this means: complete your bowing and prostration such that your upper part of the chest is plain; and it is also said that this means: pray to your Lord on the day of immolation and offer a sacrifice.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).
