BismilLah.
Let’s continue with our reminder yesterday on this verse;
ALLAH says in Qur’an 35:32
ثُمَّ أَوۡرَثۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصۡطَفَيۡنَا مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۖ فَمِنۡهُمۡ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفۡسِهِۦ وَمِنۡهُم مُّقۡتَصِدٌ وَمِنۡهُمۡ سَابِقٌۢ بِٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡفَضۡلُ ٱلۡكَبِيرُ
ALLAH caused to inherit the Book those ALLAH have chosen of HIS servants; and among them is he who wrongs himself [i.e., sins], and among them is he who is moderate, and among them is he who is foremost in good deeds by permission of ALLAH. That [inheritance] is what is the great bounty.
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on the Ayah:
ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَـبَ الَّذِينَ اصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا
(ThenALLAH gave the Book as inheritance to such of HIS servants whom HE chose. ) “This refers to the Ummah of Muhammad Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam. Those who wrong themselves will be forgiven, those who follow a middle course will have an easy accounting, and those who are foremost in good deeds will enter Paradise without being brought to account.” Abu Al-Qasim At-Tabarani reported from Ibn `Abbas that the Messenger of ALLAH said one day:
«شَفَاعَتِي لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي»
(My intercession will be for those among my Ummah who commit major sins then repent sincerely.)” Ibn `Abbas, may ALLAH be pleased with him, said, “Those who are foremost in good deeds will enter Paradise without being brought to account; those who follow a middle course will enter Paradise by the mercy of ALLAH; and those who wrong themselves will enter Paradise by the intercession of Muhammad S.A.W .” It was also reported from a number of the Salaf that those among this Ummah who wrong themselves are still among those whom ALLAH has chosen, even though they are imperfect and fell short by not adhering to the straight path. May ALLAH make us among those who are granted Jannatul Firdaus through HIS MERCY. AAMIIN.
