فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا
celebrate the praise of your Lord, and plead to Him for forgiveness. Indeed, He is all-clement.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 110:3
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 110:3] Refer to the commentary of Mumin: 55; Fath: 2 and Muhammad: 15 and 19 for the meaning of the phrase "wastaghfirhu" whenever it is used for the infallible Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt. After the bloodless conquest of Makka, the Holy Prophet stood at the entrance of Ka-bah and said: "There is no god save Allah. He has fulfilled His promised and helped His servant." Inside the Ka-bah he pointed to each of the 360 idols with his staff reciting: "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished"-Bani Israil: 82-and the idol fell down on its face. The great idol named Hubal was fixed on a high position beyond reach. To destroy it, the Holy Prophet asked Ali to mount on his shoulders. Ali mounted as was desired and standing over the shoulders of the Holy Prophet wrenched the idol and threw it, to the ground. It crashed to pieces. Refer to Madarij al Nabuwa, Habib al Siyar; Sharh Mawahib, Rawdat al Ahbab. As stated by the Holy Prophet to Ibn Abbas this verse gave a hint to his departure from this world.
