Surah An-Naba Ayat 9 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

5. For the common people sleep is the comfort of the heart, for the special people it is the peace of the heart and soul as they join Allah Almighty in their sleep. Therefore, the sleep of the Prophet is a form of revelation. It should be remembered that in sleep there is proof of the Day of Judgement.

In sleep, a servant hands himself over to his Creator. Sleep throws the wrestler on his back. Sleep makes a great scholar forget his knowledge. Sleep shows the helplessness of man.
