﴿ ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍۢ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ﴾

“THE APOSTLE, and the believers with him, believe in what has been bestowed upon him from on high by his Sustainer: they all believe in God, and His angels, and His revelations, and His apostles, making no distinction between any of His apostles; and they say: We have heard, and we pay heed. Grant us Thy forgiveness, O our Sustainer, for with Thee is all journeys' end!”

(The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord�) [2:285]. The Imam Abu Mansur �Abd al-Qahir ibn Tahir informed us> Muhammad ibn �Abd Allah ibn �Ali ibn Ziyad> Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Bushanji> Umayyah ibn Bistam> Yazid ibn Zuray�> Rawh ibn al-Qasim> al-�Ala�> his father> Abu Hurayrah who said: �When Allah, exalted is He, revealed to His Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace, the verse (� and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide, Allah will bring you to account for it�) [2:284], the prophetic Companions found this hard to cope with. They went to the Messenger, Allah bless him and give him peace, and said: �We have been entrusted with works that we can not bear: the prayer, fasting, Jihad, almsgiving; and now Allah has revealed to you this verse which we are not able to bear�. The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to them: �Do you want to say as the people of the two Scriptures said before you? � the narrator said: I think he quoted the verse (We hear and we rebel!) [2:93] � Say, rather, (We hear, and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying)�. When they heard this, they did not answer. Allah revealed after this (The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his Lord�) the whole verse, and Allah abrogated it by His revelation (Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope�) [2:286] to the end of the verse�. This report was narrated by Muslim from Umayyah ibn Bistam. Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us> his father> Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Thaqafi> �Abd Allah ibn �Umar and Yusuf ibn Musa> Waki�> Sufyan> Adam ibn Sulayman who said: �I heard Sa�id ibn Jubayr relating from Ibn �Abbas who said: �When the verse (� and whether ye make known what is in your minds or hide, Allah will bring you to account for it�) was revealed, objection crept into the hearts of the prophetic Companions as it never did before. The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said to them: Say, �we hear and we obey�. Allah then revealed (Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope), up to His saying (or miss the mark) upon which he said: You did.
