[Surah Ibrahim]
His saying, the Exalted: "[They] love"
12205 - From Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding His saying: "[They] love" [yastahibbun], he said: They choose.
His saying, the Exalted: "And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people"
12206 - From Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: Indeed, Allah favored Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) over the inhabitants of the heavens and over the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). It was said: How did He favor him over the inhabitants of the heavens? He said: Indeed, Allah said to the inhabitants of the heavens: "And whoever among them should say, 'Indeed, I am a god besides Him'—that one We would recompense with Hell." And He said to Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "That Allah may forgive for you what preceded of your sin and what will follow," and thus wrote for him an acquittal from the Fire. It was said to him: And how did He favor him over the prophets? He said: Indeed, Allah the Exalted says: "And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people," and He said to Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): "And We have not sent you except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner to mankind," so He sent him to both humans and jinn.
12207 - From Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding His saying: "And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people," he said: In the tongue of his people. If he was an Arab, then in Arabic; if he was a non-Arab, then in a non-Arabic language; if he was a Syriac speaker, then in Syriac, so that he could clarify to them what Allah had sent to them, in order to establish the proof against them thereby.
12208 - From Sufyan al-Thawri (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: No revelation was sent down except in Arabic, then every prophet would translate it for his people in their tongue. He said: And the tongue on the Day of Resurrection is Syriac, and whoever enters Paradise will speak in Arabic.
12209 - From ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: Do not eat the slaughtered animal of the Magians, nor the slaughtered animal of the Christians of the Arabs. Do you consider them People of the Book? For they are not People of the Book. Allah the Exalted says: "And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people to make clear to them," and He only sent ‘Isa (peace be upon him)

قَوْلهُ تَعَالَى: يَسْتَحِبُّونَ
١٢٢٠٥ - عَنِ أَبِي مَالِكٍ رَضِى اللهُ عَنْهُ فِي قَوْلِهِ: يَسْتَحِبُّونَ قَالَ:
يَخْتَارُونَ «١» .
قَوْلهُ تَعَالَى: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُول إِلا بلسان قومه
١٢٢٠٦ - عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ- رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا- قَالَ: إِنَّ اللهَ فَضَّلَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَهْل السَّمَاء وَعَلَى الأَنْبِيَاء عَلَيْهِمْ الصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ. قِيلَ: مَا فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى أَهْل السَّمَاء؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ الله قَالَ لأَهْلِ السَّمَاء: وَمَنْ يَقُلْ مِنْهُمْ إِنِّي إِلَهٌ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَذَلِكَ نَجْزِيهِ جَهَنَّمَ. وَقَالَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ فَكَتَبَ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ النَّار، قِيلَ لَهُ: فَمَا فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى الأَنْبِيَاء؟ قَالَ: إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى يَقُولُ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُول إِلا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ وَقَالَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلا كَافَّةً لِلنَّاسِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى الإِنْس وَالْجِنّ «٢» .
١٢٢٠٧ - عَنْ قَتَادَة- رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ- فِي قَوْلِهِ: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رسول إلا بلسان قومه قَالَ: بلغة قَوْمِهِ، إِنَّ كَانَ عربيًا فعربيًا، وإن كان عجميًا فعجميًا، وإِنَّ كَانَ سُريانياً فسُريانياً، ليبين لَهُمْ الّذِي أَرْسَلَ الله إِلَيْهِمْ، ليتخذَ بِذَلِكَ الْحُجَّة عَلَيْهِمْ «٣» .
١٢٢٠٨ - عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ- رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ- قَالَ: لَمْ يَنْزِل وَحْي إلا بالعربيةِ ثُمَّ يُتَرْجِم كُلّ نَبِيّ لقومِه بلسَانهم. قَالَ: ولسانِ يَوْم الْقِيَامَة السُّرْيَانِيَّة، ومن دَخَلَ الْجَنَّة تَكَلَّمَ بالعربيةِ «٤» .
١٢٢٠٩ - عَنْ عُمْرَ- رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ- قَالَ: لا تَأْكُلُوا ذَبِيحَة الْمَجُوس ولا ذَبِيحَة نَصَارَىَ العَرَب، أترونهم أهل الكتاب؟ فإنهم ليسوا بأهل كتاب. قَالَ الله تَعَالَى:
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُول إِلا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ وإنما أَرْسَلَ عيسى عليه السلام
