Question:
Asssalamualaikum warahamatullahi wabarakatuh.
Forgive my worse adab, oh Maulana Syaikh, but this concerns me most.. ,Could you please enlightened us concerning the tafseer/meaning of the ayah of Surah An Najm 53:9 “Qaaba qawsayni aw adnaa” ? Is it Jibril as. as according to the hadith of Aisyah ra. or is it Allah swt. ?
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
According to Ibn Mas`ud and `A’isha it is Jibril. According to Ibn `Abbas, Abu Dharr, Anas, Abu Hurayra, and `Abd al-Rahman ibn `A’ish it is Allah Most High. The latter is the position of the majority of the Salaf, and Allah knows best.
Hajj Gibril Haddad
