00:00:00.530 --> 00:00:03.529
A verse and its Tafsir.

00:00:03.529 --> 00:00:07.620
Allah the Exalted says:

00:00:07.620 --> 00:00:13.619
“There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.” (6:38)

00:00:13.619 --> 00:00:19.120
Imam al-Khattabi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:22.120
He, glorified and praised be He, informed us

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:28.120
that there is no matter of religion for which the Book did not provide an explanation.

00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.120
That is, the Qur'an.

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.119
However, this explanation is of two types.

00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.119
A manifest explanation, which the Book addresses explicitly.

00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.119
And a latent explanation, which is encompassed by the meaning of the recitation.

00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.119
As for this second type,

00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:54.119
the detail of its explanation was entrusted to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.119
This is the meaning of His, the Exalted's, statement:

00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:03.119
“With clear proofs and writings; and We have revealed unto thee the Remembrance that thou mayst explain to mankind that which hath been revealed for them, and that haply they may reflect.” (16:44)

00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.280
Whoever combines the Book and the Sunnah

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.280
has fulfilled both aspects of the explanation.

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:13.760
Ma'alim al-Sunan by al-Khattabi.
