Prophets (علیہم السلام) and their companions (رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ) (L-467)

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن نَّبِىٍّ قَٰتَلَ مَعَهُۥ رِبِّيُّونَ كَثِيرٌ فَمَا وَهَنُوا۟ لِمَآ أَصَابَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِٱللَّهِ وَمَا ضَعُفُوا۟ وَمَا ٱسْتَكَانُوا۟ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ 146. |

146. Wa ka-‘ayyim-min-nabiyyin-qaatala,
ma-‘ahuu Rib-biyyuuna kasiir. Famaa wahanuu
limaaa ’asaaba-hum fii Sabii-Lillaahi wa
maa za-‘ufuu wa mastakaanuu. WAllaahu
yuhibbus-Saabiriin. |

146. How many a prophet fought alongside him numerous
godly people? They did not waver for what afflicted them in the cause of God,
nor did they weaken, nor did they give in. God loves those who endure. |
This topic begins from the previous two verses that the Prophets and the Messengers (Peace be upon them) came in the world and passed away. Like this, the Last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ) was sent for a prescribed period. But his (ﷺ) religion will remain till the General Resurrection, and the Scripture brought by him will remain a source of Guidance always for the nations and people of the entire world.
Therefore, showing weakness and laziness in the matters of religion will be opposite to the wisdom and sense. The people who exposed broken-hearted after hearing false news about martyrdom of Muhammad (ﷺ) in the Battlefield of ‘Uhud, they wronged. The Religion belongs to God and He is Eternal and Immortal. There is no mortality for Himself.
Continuing the same Series of the Word, there is a mention in this verse concerning the Prophets, the Messengers (Peace be upon them) and their devoted followers (companions) (May God be pleased with them). So that the followers of the last Messenger, Muhammad (ﷺ) (Muslim ‘Ummah) may learn from them.
Rib-biyyuuna – (the devoted men), this word has been derived from the word ‘Rabb’ which is an adjective of God. Rib-biyyuun means those people who have relationship with their Lord, seekers and lovers of God. The Jews used to call their scholars as Rabbii, plural of which is Rib-biyyuun.
It is being commanded, “Often it happened that the devotee people and the pious servants of God fought against His enemies in support of the Prophets (Peace be upon them). Good or bad, every sort of time comes in the war. Sometimes one group wins and the other is defeated and sometimes opposite to it. But their steadfast feet never trembled. Their spirit and strength were never weakened. They suffered thousand times, but neither they were lazy, nor had shown weakness and nor were they brought down. God keeps such people friends who are steadfast and have stable temperament. The Muslims would have to produce these virtues into themselves for becoming beloved of Lord Almighty”.
