Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Happiness of the Person Who will receive His Book in His Right Hand and His Good Situation

Allah informs of,

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ فَيَقُولُ هَاوُمُ اقْرَوُوا كِتَابِيهْ




Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say;"Here! read my Record!"

Allah informs of the happiness of those who receive their Book in the right hand on the Day of Judgement and being pleased with this. Out of his extreme pleasure is his saying to everyone that he meets,

هَاوُمُ اقْرَوُوا كِتَابِيهْ
(Here! read my Record!) meaning,

`take my Book and read it.'

He will say this because he knows that what is in it is good and purely virtuous deeds. He will be of those whom Allah replaced their bad deeds (evils) with good deeds.

Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd said, "The meaning of
هَاوُمُ اقْرَوُوا كِتَابِيهْ
(Here! read my Record!) is

`Here, read my Book.'... The suffix `Um' is a grammatical addition."

This is what he (`Abdur-Rahman) said. It seems apparent that the suffix `Um' means here `you all.'

Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abdullah bin Abdullah bin Hanzalah - and he (Hanzalah) was the Companion who was washed by the angels for his funeral - said,

"Verily, Allah will stop His servant on the Day of Judgement and He will make his sins appear on the outside of his Book of Records. Then He will say to him,

`Did you do this'

The servant will respond, `Yes my Lord.'

Then Allah will say to him, `I will not expose you (or dishonor you) for it, for verily, I have forgiven you. '

The person will then say, `Here (you all) read my Book!"'
