أَخْبَرَنَا
قُتَيْبَةُ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا
نُوحٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ عَمْرٌو ، عَنْ
أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قال : " كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَسْنَاءُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ قَالَ : فَكَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِئَلَّا يَرَاهَا وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ نَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn Abbas said:` "There was a woman who used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who was beautiful, one of the most beautiful of people. Some of the people used to go to the front row to avoid seeing her, and some used to go to the back row so that when they bowed they could see her from beneath their armpits. Then Allah revealed the words: 'To Us are known those of you who hasten forward and those who lag behind."

871. Commentary: This narration is weak, therefore this specific reason for the revelation (shan-e-nuzul) of the verse is not authentic. However, in light of the context and sequence, the appropriate meaning of the verse is that We know those people as well who have died from the time of Adam (alayhis salam) until now, and also those who are still alive or will come until the Day of Resurrection.
