اَلْبَقَرَة

Al Baqarah

HR Background

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَقُوْلُوْا رَاعِنَا وَ قُوْلُوا انْظُرْنَا وَ اسْمَعُوْاؕ-وَ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(104)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

O believers! Do not say “rāꜤinā” (consider our state), rather, say, “˹Your Excellency,˺ look upon us!” and listen[1] attentively in advance—and for the disbelievers, there is agonizing punishment.

Commentary

[1]

To respect and honour the noble prophets is obligatory; it is not permissible to utter a word about them that even has the slightest element of disrespect. Furthermore, the verse expresses how the Almighty Himself teaches people the etiquette of the Prophetic Court and declares rulings of reverence.
