* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَإِذَا سَمِعُواْ مَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ تَرَىۤ أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ ٱلدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُواْ مِنَ ٱلْحَقِّ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ آمَنَّا فَٱكْتُبْنَا مَعَ ٱلشَّاهِدِينَ }

This verse was revealed when the Negus’s delegation from Abyssinia came to him s when the Prophet s recited sūrat Yā Sīn they cried and submitted to Islam saying ‘How similar this is to what used to be revealed to Jesus!’ God exalted be He says And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger of the Qur’ān you see their eyes overflow with tears because of what they recognise of the truth. They say ‘Our Lord we believe we accept the truth of your Prophet and your Book so inscribe us among the witnesses those who affirm their acceptance of the truth.
