Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
952. Commentary: It is Sunnah to occasionally recite this surah in the morning prayer. This surah presents a complete depiction of the terrifying scenes of the Day of Judgment. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Surah Hud, Surah Waqi'ah, and «﴿إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ﴾» have made me old." [جامع الترمذي ، تفسیر القرآن ، حدیث : 3297]

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:

(1)
يَهْتَمُّونَ لِذَلِكَ:
They will be concerned about it (that their distress may be removed).

(2)
يُلْهَمُونَ لِذَلِكَ:
The concern to avoid this distress will be inspired in their hearts.

(3)
لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ:
I am not worthy of this,
this is something above my rank and status.

(4)
خَلِيلٌ:
One whose love is perfect and of the highest degree,
in which there is no deficiency or imperfection of any kind.

Benefits and Issues:

(1)
The mistake that Adam (alayhis salam) will mention
refers to the tree which he was forbidden to approach,
and he ate from it out of forgetfulness.
And the mistake that Nuh (alayhis salam) will mention
refers to interceding for his son, for which he was not permitted,
or it refers to the supplication he made for the destruction and ruin of his people,
and there was a supplication whose acceptance was certain, which he made.
And Ibrahim (alayhis salam) will mention those three occasions
when he used equivocation and indirectness.
And Musa (alayhis salam) will mention the killing of the Copt,
and Isa (alayhis salam) will mention
that in the world his followers made him into a deity,
these will merely be to divert people's attention.
The real matter is that intercession
is specific to you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
therefore, no Messenger other than you will perform this task.

(2)
The status and rank of the Prophets (alayhimus salam)
is higher and loftier than all human beings; therefore, in obedience and submission to Allah, they are at the highest rank,
and their actions are found in the best manner.
Sometimes, unintentionally and unconsciously, such acts occur from them
which are beneath their lofty status,
and due to their high rank, they feel shame and embarrassment even in committing them,
these acts and deeds are referred to as "sin" (dhamb) or "mistake" (khati'ah),
but in terms of ordinary people, there is nothing objectionable in them.

(3)
Nuh (alayhis salam) is called the first of the Messengers because before Nuh (alayhis salam), during the time of the Prophets, people remained upon the natural disposition of Islam,
therefore, revelation to them was regarding matters of creation or worldly affairs,
such as agriculture and crafts,
and before Nuh (alayhis salam), very few individuals committed disbelief and polytheism,
but in his nation, polytheism and disbelief became widespread,
therefore, the revelation of Messengership began with him,
and the descent of legislative inspiration (ilham shariyyah) occurred,
and the opponents were threatened with punishment.
Or, he is called the first of the Messengers
because his nation was the first upon whom punishment was sent,
and he was the first Messenger
whom his nation subjected to harm and distress.

(4)
The Greatest Intercession (Shafa‘at Kubra),
by which the reckoning of all people will begin,
is specific to you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
therefore, no Prophet or Messenger before you will be ready for it,
and will reply that this is not my position or I am not worthy of it,
and in the end, all people will come to you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
and you will be ready for it,
and you will seek permission from Allah for it,
and after permission is granted, through your intercession, the reckoning of all mankind will begin,
and your superiority and excellence will become manifest before all people.

(5)
After the Greatest Intercession (Shafa‘at Kubra), you (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) will intercede regarding the sinners of your Ummah,
and there will be various forms of this intercession,
for removing them from Hell,
you will intercede four times,
after that, only those sinners will remain
whom only the mercy and grace of Allah can remove,
or those people who, due to their disbelief and polytheism, will remain in Hell forever.

Benefit:
This hadith proves that in the Fajr prayer, one should recite different surahs at different times—sometimes longer surahs and sometimes shorter ones. The imam should lead the congregation according to the situation and circumstances.
