{We expand} There are five manners (of understanding this):
{وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ} فيه خمسة أوجه:

1. Sustenance with rain, this was the position of al-Ḥasan (Al-Basrī).
أحدها: لموسعون في الرزق بالمطر , قاله الحسن.

2. (We expand) the sky (itself) this was the position of Abū Zaid.
الثاني: لموسعون السماء , قاله ابن زيد.

3. That we are able to grant expanse greater than the expanse of the heavens.
الثالث: لقادرون على الاتساع بأكثر من اتساع السماء.

4. That we expand it by creating a heaven like it, this was the position of Mujāhid.
الرابع: لموسعون بخلق سماء ملثها , قاله مجاهد.

5. We possess expanse (that is) no one is able to restrict that which we wish.
الخامس: لذوو سعة لا يضيق علينا شيء نريده.

Al-Hākim (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:
قَالَ الْحَاكِمُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ:

Amma ba’d (as for what follows):
أَمَّا بَعْدُ:

Indeed when I observed innovations in our time becoming widespread,
فَإِنِّي لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ الْبِدَعَ فِي زَمَانِنَا كَثُرَتْ،

And the people's knowledge of the fundamentals of the Sunnah depleting,
وَمَعْرِفَةَ النَّاسِ بِأُصُولِ السُّنَنِ قَلَّتْ،

Alongside the fact that the people have become absorbed in writing narrations,
مَعَ إِمْعَانِهِمْ فِي كِتَابَةِ الْأَخْبَارِ،

And (the fact that) there is an abundance of those who seek it (sadly) upon negligence and heedlessness,
وََكَثْرَةِ طَلَبِهََا عَلَى الْإِهْمَالِ وَالْإِغْفَالِ؛

I was inspired by this to author a concise book comprising the categories of the knowledge of hadīth,
دَعَانِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى تَصْنِيفِ كِتَابٍ خَفِيفٍ يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى ذِكْرِ أَنْوَاعِ عِلْمِ الْحَدِيثِ

The like of which the seeker of hadīth and those who persevere in seeking it will need.”
مِمَّا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ طَلَبَةُ الْأَخْبَارِ.

And the saying of Allāh: “There is no sin upon you whether you eat together or apart.” (Suratun Nūr 24:61)
وقوله: {لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا جَمِيعًا أَوْ أَشْتَاتًا}

“All of this is permissible,
فكل ذلك جائز،

That the people of a household eat together,
أكل أهل البيت الواحد جميعا،

Or that each individual eats by himself,
أو أكل كل واحد منهم وحده،

And in this is removal of difficulty.”
وهذا نفي للحرج

“In this is an allowance from Allāh for a man to eat by himself or with a group even though eating together is better and more blessed.”

فَهَذِهِ رُخْصَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الرَّجُلُ وَحْدَهُ وَمَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْأَكْلُ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ أبرك وأفضل.

Al-A'mash reported that Mujāhid said:
ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِمْلَاءً حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بِبَغْدَادَ حَدَّثَنَا الْبَاغَنْدِيُّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْن نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ

“I do not know which of the two blessing is greater,
(مَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ النِّعْمَتَيْنِ أَعَظْمُ

That Allāh guided me to Islām,
أَنْ هَدَانِي لِلْإِسْلَامِ

Or that he saved me from following desires.”
أَوْ عَافَانِي مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَهْوَاء)

“Whenever those who establish the light of Prophethood (Sunnah) become weak, that is when bid'ah becomes stronger.”

وَكُلَّمَا ضَعُفَ مَنْ يَقُومُ بِنُورِ النُّبُوَّةِ قَوِيَتْ الْبِدْعَةُ

And asking Allāh’s mercy for the Companions of Muḥammad peace be upon him; all of them.
والترحم على أصحاب محمد - صلى الله عليه وسلم - كلهم،

For surely Allāh said: ‘And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith’ (Sūrah Al-Ĥashr 59:10).
فإن الله عز وجل قال: {وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ} [الحشر 10]

Thus He only commanded us to seek forgiveness for them,
فلم يؤمر إلا بالإستغفارٍ لهم،

Consequently whoever insults them
فمن يسبهم

Or degrades them,
أو ينقصهم

Or one of them;
أو أحداً منهم ,

Then he is not upon the Sunnah,
فليس على السُنَّة،

And he has no right to the spoils.
وليس له في الفئ حق،

“From the best deeds of 'Ali (may Allāh be pleased with him), the Leader of the Believers, was his fighting against the Khawārij.”

وَأَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيًّا - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ - كَانَ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ أَعْمَالِهِ قِتَالُهُ الْخَوَارِجَ.

And more than one individual has narrated to us that Mālik ibn Anas said:
أخبرنا بذلك غير واحد عن مالك بن أنس أنه قال:

‘Allāh divided the Al Fay (Al Fay is wealth obtained from the non Muslims without physical conflict) by saying:
\" قسم الله ـ تعالى ـ الفئ فقال:

“(And there is also a share in these Al Fay) for the poor emigrants, who were expelled from their homes” (Sūrah al-Hashr 59:8).
{لِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ} [الحشر 8]

Then He said: “And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith”. (Sūrah Al-Ĥashr 59:10).
قال: {وَالَّذِينَ جَاءُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا} [الحشر 10]

Thus the one who does not say this for them, then he is not from those who will have a share in the Al Fay.

Al-Mubārak bin Faḍāla reported to us on the authority of al-Ḥasan concerning the Speech of Allah, the Powerful and almighty “And worship your Lord until there arrives to you, certainty” (15:99), he said: “[The certainty] of death.”
