SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
Which is in the Qur’an, appears in the Surah thus: ‘Verily We have sent you (O Muhammad) as a
witness, as a bringer of glad tidings and as a warner, and as a protector for the illiterates (i.e., the Ar –
abs.) You are my slave and My Apostle, and I have named you Al-Mutawakkil (one who depends
upon Allah). You are neither hard-hearted nor of fierce character, nor one who shouts in the mar –
kets. You do not return evil for evil, but excuse and forgive. Allah will not take you unto Him till He
guides through you a crocked (curved) nation on the right path by causing them to say: “None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah.” With such a statement He will cause to open blind eyes, deaf
ears and hardened hearts.’
