Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Baqarah 2:201

Word by word

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ

But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

ومن الناس فريق مؤمن يقول في دعائه: ربنا آتنا في الدنيا عافية ورزقًا وعلمًا نافعًا، وعملا صالحًا، وغير ذلك من أمور الدين والدنيا، وفي الآخرة الجنة، واصرف عنَّا عذاب النار. وهذا الدعاء من أجمع الأدعية، ولهذا كان أكثر دعاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، كما ثبت في الصحيحين.
