AI translationAbū Jaʿfar said: And the sub-tribes (ʿujur) of Hawāzin are: Saʿd ibn Bakr, Jusham ibn Bakr, Naṣr ibn Muʿāwiya, and Thaqīf (1).
As for the meaning of the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, when he mentioned the revelation of the Qurʾān in seven modes: "Indeed, each of them is healing and sufficient"—it is as He, glorious is His praise, said in describing the Qurʾān: {O mankind, there has come to you an instruction from your Lord and healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers} [Sūrat Yūnus: 57]. Allah made it a healing for the believers, by which they seek cure through its admonitions from the ailments occurring in their breasts from the whisperings of Satan and his evil thoughts, so it suffices them and enriches them beyond all other admonitions through the clarification of its verses.
Notes
- (1) In the original manuscript: "and Khaytham ibn Bakr", and likewise in Faḍāʾil al-Qurʾān (p. 67), which is an error. Ibn Kathīr said immediately following this: "And they are the upper Hawāzin, about whom Abū ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAlāʾ said: 'The most eloquent of the Arabs are the upper Hawāzin and the lower Tamīm,' meaning Banū Dārim."
