9015 - Isam ibn Rawwad narrated to us, Adam narrated to us, Abu Ja'far narrated to us, from al-Rabi' ibn Anas, from Abu al-Aliyah, regarding His saying: "Alim (painful)," he said: The "Alim" is the "Mu'ji'" (causing pain) throughout the entire Quran. And the like of this has been narrated from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, al-Dahhak ibn Muzahim, Abu Malik, Qatadah, Abu Imran al-Jawni, and Muqatil ibn Hayyan.

They would say: "You have no partner, except a partner who is Yours; You possess him and what he possesses." They would say: "Your forgiveness, Your forgiveness." So Allah the Almighty revealed: "But Allah would not punish them while you are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness."

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed, and seeking forgiveness remained."
