Verse 52 Man’s knowledge and endeavor are the requisites for g | Imam Reza (as) _ EN

Verse 52
Man’s knowledge and endeavor are the requisites for gaining provision, but they are not sufficient. He is not supposed to solely rely on his knowledge and capabilities, since everything depends on another Power.

In reply to those who considered their possessions as the fruits of their knowledge and capacities, the Holy Qur’an reminds man to take a glance at the history of people in the past and notice that others uttered such claims and experienced the afflictions and torments.
Thus the blessed Verse in question produces an intellectual reply: “Do they not know that Allah enlarges the provision for whom He wills?”
There are many a strong people overtaken by deprivation, privation, seclusion, and isolation and there exist many an incompetent and weak people enjoying all means of mundane welfare.

Verse 53
It is stated in Majma 'al-Bayan that some have said: The verse (Say ‘O My servants who have committed excesses ...) was revealed about Wahshi (the savage) killer of Hamza. And that was when he wanted to become a Muslim, he was afraid that his repentance would not be accepted. So as soon as the verse was revealed, he converted to Islam. Some of the companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Has this verse been revealed specifically about the acceptance of Wahshi's repentance, or is it for all Muslims? He said: No, it is for all Muslims.
