وَمَا کَانَ قَوۡلَہُمۡ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا اغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوۡبَنَا وَاِسۡرَافَنَا فِیۡۤ اَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ اَقۡدَامَنَا وَانۡصُرۡنَا عَلَی الۡقَوۡمِ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ

عربی میں اِسْرَاف کا لفظ ہے لیکن چونکہ یہ مصدر ہے جو مفرد اور جمع دونوں کے لئے آتا ہے ہم نے اردو کے لحاظ سے اس کا ترجمہ جمع کیا ہے یعنی ’’زیادتیاں‘‘۔

2:251, 287.
Commentary:
Each part of the prayer contained in this verse corresponds to the points mentioned in the previous one. In fact, success comes only by the help and grace of God. Human effort alone is not enough.
It should, however, be noted that, corresponding to the last part of the prayer in this verse, there is mentioned no corresponding effort on the part of believers in the preceding verse, thus indicating that final victory and success come solely through the grace of God and are not the result of our actions.

قَالَ رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡ لِیۡ وَلِاَخِیۡ وَاَدۡخِلۡنَا فِیۡ رَحۡمَتِکَ ۖ وَاَنۡتَ اَرۡحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیۡنَ
Commentary:
Moses soon saw the innocence of Aaron, so he included him with himself in his prayer for God’s mercy.

رَبَّنَا اغۡفِرۡ لِیۡ وَلِوٰلِدَیَّ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِیۡنَ یَوۡمَ یَقُوۡمُ الۡحِسَابُ
71:29.
The reason, why Divine Prophets pray to God for forgiveness notwithstanding the fact that they enjoy protection against Satan, is their realization of the holiness and majesty of God and of their own weakness. It is this realization of human weakness which makes them humbly pray to God that He may "cover" them with His grace and mercy so that their very self may become completely obliterated and may merge completely in Him.
71:29.
Important Words:
اغفرلی (grant forgiveness to me) is derived from غفر which means, (1) to cover up; and (2) to forgive sins (Aqrab). See also 2:59, 200, 286.
Commentary:
The prayer offered in the expression اغفرلی (grant forgiveness to me) conveys different meanings when offered by God’s Prophets and when offered by ordinary sinful men. When a Prophet or a holy man seeks God’s غفران or مغفرة (forgiveness), the word signifies God’s covering him with His mercy and protecting him against the harmful consequences of human weaknesses. But when a sinful man prays to God in the words اللھم اغفرلی (My Lord, grant forgiveness to me), he, in fact, prays to Him for protection against the evil consequences of his sins and the punishment he has earned thereby as well as protection from the commission of further sins. It is one of the characteristics of the Arabic language that its words possess a large variety of meanings and that not unoften the same word conveys different meanings in different circumstances. The word غفر is similarly used in many senses. When used about a righteous man it conveys a different meaning from that in which it is used about a person of sinful character. That the significance of a word is changed with the change of the person for whom it is used and the change of the occasion on which it is used is well illustrated by the word جبار. When used with reference to God this word means, "the Restorer of a thing to a right or sound condition," but when used with reference to a human being it means, "one who is extravagant in acts of disobedience or wrongdoing" (Lane).
Since the Prophets are God’s beloved and His Elect, Satan can have no access to them. They are the special servants of God, and over God’s own servants Satan has no power (15:43), for they live under His constant protection. The reason, therefore, why the Prophets of God pray to Him for غفران or مغفرة , notwithstanding their enjoying protection against Satan, is their realization of the Holiness and Majesty of God and of their own human weakness. They realize that, however high a man may spiritually rise, he is but a mere nothing before Almighty God, Lord and Master of the Throne of Glory and Majesty. They realize that man is but a weak and frail creature of God, that his very existence is a Divine gift and that it is from God that he receives guidance and protection. It is this realization of human weakness which makes them humbly pray to God that He may "cover" them with His grace and mercy so that their very self may become completely obliterated and merged in Him.
The verse further hints that God’s reckoning is not confined to the next life but is also going on in the present life. The Prophets, therefore, always pray that whenever the time may come for the results of their works to become known and manifest, God may cover up their weaknesses and produce results in accordance with His Own glory and not their weak and humble efforts. As for the believers and the parents of Abraham the expression مغفرة will be taken in its ordinary meaning of forgiveness of sins and meting out merciful treatment. For an explanation of the words والد and اب used with reference to Abraham see under 6:75.

71:29.
652
尽管神圣的先知们享有安拉的保护, 不会受恶魔的侵袭, 但他们还是祈求安拉宽恕自己。理由是, 他们认识到安拉的神圣威严, 认识到他们自己的弱点。正是因为认识了自己的弱点, 使他们谦卑地祈求安拉把博受和仁慈 ‘被覆’ 他们, 使他们的 ‘自我’ 彻底消失, 完全与安拉融合在一起。

وَقُل رَّبِّ اغۡفِرۡ وَارۡحَمۡ وَاَنۡتَ خَیۡرُ الرّٰحِمِیۡنَ
قَالَ رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡ لِیۡ وَہَبۡ لِیۡ مُلۡکًا لَّا یَنۡۢبَغِیۡ لِاَحَدٍ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِیۡۤ ۖ اِنَّکَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَہَّابُ
从上一节经文看来, 素莱曼已预见由于他儿子鲁钝和低能他的非永恒的王国在他死后即将崩溃, 因此他祈求安拉已经赐给他家族的精神王国可以继续下去。如果 “在我死后没有任何人可以继承的一个王国” 这句话, 按照直义来理解的话, 那么, 素莱曼的祈祷可以这样来理解 (它的意思), 即在他死后以色列人之中将不会出现一个权力和威望有他那么大的国王。
یہاں ملک سے مرادنبوت یعنی روحانی بادشاہت ہے جو بعد میں آنے والوں کو بھی عطاء الٰہی کے طور پر ملتی ہے۔ والد سے ورثہ کے طور پر نہیں۔ اس لئے حضرت سلیمانؑ نے دعا کی کہ اے اللہ روحانی فضل بڑھا۔ دنیوی ترقی جو اولاد کے ہاتھوں ضائع ہو سکتی ہے مجھے اس کی خواہش نہیں۔
As it appears from the preceding verse Solomon had foreseen that his temporal kingdom would become disrupted after his death through the imbecility of his foolish and worthless son, so he prayed that the spiritual kingdom which God had bestowed upon his House might continue. If the words, 'a kingdom that may not be inherited by anyone after me,' are taken in their literal sense, then Solomon’s prayer would be understood to have been accepted in the sense that after his death no king possessing the power and prestige that he possessed ever appeared among the Israelites.

The words لا ینبغی لاحد من بعدی may also signify a kingdom which pertains to the individual and is not heritable.

Commentary:
The words "those who came after them," may apply to the Refugees who came later to Medina, or to all the coming generations of Muslims, or particularly to the followers of the Promised Messiah to whom a pointed reference is made in 62:3.
The later generations of Muslims have been commanded here to pray for their brethren in Faith of earlier generations and to pray also that their own hearts be completely cleansed of all bitterness and spite towards true and sincere Muslims. What a beautiful recipe by which Muslims can become cemented into a well-knit community!

安拉的众先知满怀天生的善心。努哈的祈祷显示, 对他的反对是长时间的, 固执的, 从不停止, 他使他的人民走上正道的一切努力一定已失败, 他那为数不多的追随者一定仍然没有可能再增加, 而且他的对手们一定已超过了一切合法界限来反对和迫害他和他的追随者, 放任地干着罪恶勾当。情况一定已变成这样; 像努哈这样一个十分富有同情心的人不得不作反对他的人民的祈祷。在同样的处境中, 穆圣对他的对手们的态度呈现出鲜明的对照。在吴侯德战役中, 他被击落了两颗牙齿, 身受重伤, 大量流血, 但只听得他口里说: “一个民族平白无故伤害他们的先知, 还在他脸上涂满了鲜血, 而他无非是号召他们信奉安拉, 这样一个民族怎么得救。我的养主啊, 宽恕我的人民吧! 因为他们忘乎所以, 不知道在干些什么”。(زُرْقَانِی, Zurqani--------هِشَام, Hisham)

God’s Prophets are full of the milk of human kindness. Noah’s prayer shows that opposition to him must have been long, persistent and unremitting, and that all his efforts to bring his people to the right path must have proved abortive, and there must have remained no possibility for any further addition to his small following, and also that his opponents must have exceeded all legitimate bounds in opposing and persecuting him and his followers, and in indulging in evil pursuits. Matters must have come to such a pass that a man of a most compassionate disposition like Noah was constrained to pray against his people. In an identical situation the Holy Prophet’s attitude to his opponents presents a vivid contrast. In the battle of Uhud, when his two teeth were broken and he was badly wounded and bled profusely, the only words that escaped his lips were, 'How will a people get salvation who have wounded their Prophet and have smeared his face with blood for no fault, but that he calls them to God.
