Tafseer Ibn Kathir

وَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ فَإِنَّكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا

So wait patiently for the decision of your Lord, for verily, you are under Our Eyes;

meaning, `be patient in the face of their annoyance and do not be concerned about it, for you are under Our Eyes and Protection, and We will surely protect you from the people,'

وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ



and glorify the praises of your Lord when you get up.

Ad-Dahhak said,

"Meaning to stand for the Salah (and say);"Glorious are You and with Your praise, Hallowed be Your Name, Exalted be Your majesty, and there is no God (worthy of worship) except You."

In his Sahih, Muslim recorded that Umar used to recite this supplication when he began Salah.

Ahmad and the Sunan compilers recorded this Hadith from Abu Sa`id and other Companions, who stated that the Prophet used to say that.

Abu Al-Jawza' commented on the Ayah;
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
(and glorify the praises of your Lord when you get up).

"From your sleep, from your bed."

And this is the view chosen by Ibn Jarir.

Supporting this view is the Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded that Ubadah bin As-Samit said that the Messenger of Allah said,

مَنْ تَعَارَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لَا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ للهِ وَلَا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي

أو قال ثُمَّ دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ فَإِنْ عَزَمَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى قُبِلَتْ صَلَتُه

Whoever gets up at night and says;`La ilaha illallah, He is One without partners. For Him is the kingdom and all praise is due to Him. He has power over all things. Glory be to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, and La illaha illallah and Allah is Greater. There is neither might nor power except Allah.'

And then says,

`O Lord! Forgive me.'

Or invokes (Allah), he will be responded to it, and if he intends and performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be accepted.

Al-Bukhari and the Sunan compilers also recorded this Hadith.

Ibn Abi Najih reported that Mujahid commented on the Ayah,
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
(and glorify the praises of your Lord when you get up), saying,

"From every gathering you sit in."

Ath-Thawri said that Abu Ishaq narrated that Abu Al-Ahwas said that,
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ
(and glorify the praises of your Lord when you get up),

"When a person wants to stand from a gathering, he says;`Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise."'

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet said,

مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَكَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ اللْهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذلِك

Whoever sits in a gathering in which he speaks idle excessively, but says before he stands up to depart that gathering, `Glory be to You O Allah, and with Your praise, I testify that there is no God (worthy of worship) except You, I seek Your forgiveness, and I repent to You.' Then, Allah will forgive him what he has said in that gathering.

This was recorded by At-Tirmidhi, and this is his wording, and it was also recorded by An-Nasa'i in (`Amal) Al-Yawm wal-Laylah.

At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih."
It was also recorded by Al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, and he said, "Its chain meets the criteria of Muslim."

Allah the Exalted said;
