Muhammad said: The meaning of 'yashfiku' (sheds) is 'yassubu' (pours); you say 'safaktu al-shay' (I shed the thing) when you pour it.
The meaning of 'nusabbihu bi-hamdika' is: We declare You free from evil and we exalt You; and everyone who performs a good deed [seeking] Allah through it has glorified (sabbaha) Allah, meaning: he has exalted Him. The meaning of 'nuqaddisu laka' is: We purify ourselves for You. The origin of 'al-quds' in the language is: purification.
Allah, may He be exalted, said: 'Indeed, I know that which you do not know.' The interpretation of Qatada is: He knew that from that successor would arise prophets, messengers, and righteous people. [Verses 31-33].
يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّح بحَمْدك ونقدس لَك﴾ أَي: نصلي لَك؛ فِي تَفْسِير بَعضهم.
قَالَ مُحَمَّد: معنى: يسفك: يصب؛ تَقُولُ: سفكت الشَّيْء! إِذا صببته.
وَمعنى ((نُسَبِّح بحَمْدك)): أَي: نبرئك من السوء ونعظمك، وكل من عمل خيرا (ل ٧) أَرَادَ اللَّه بِهِ، فقد سبح الله؛ أَي: عظمه. وَمعنى: ﴿نقدس لَك﴾ أَي: نطهر أَنْفُسنَا لَك، وأصل الْقُدس فِي اللُّغَة: الطَّهَارَة.
قَالَ اللَّه ﷿: إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تعلمُونَ﴾ تَفْسِير قَتَادَة: علم أَنه سينشأ من ذَلِكَ الْخَلِيفَة أَنْبيَاء، ورسل، وَقوم صَالِحُونَ. [الْآيَة ٣١ - ٣٣]
