An-Najm 53:32

Juz 27 · Page 527

ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَٰٓئِرَ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ إِلَّا ٱللَّمَمَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ وَٰسِعُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِذْ أَنشَأَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِذْ أَنتُمْ أَجِنَّةٌ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمْ فَلَا تُزَكُّوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ ٱتَّقَىٰٓ ٣٢

Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones. Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears Him.

Context

The recitation of Surah an-Najm and the mass prostration

Surah-wide

As narrated from Ibn Mas'ud in Bukhari, the Prophet recited Surah an-Najm and prostrated at its end; everyone present, Muslim and polytheist alike, prostrated with him. Only one old man took a handful of pebbles, raised it to his forehead and said, "This suffices me"; reports identify him as Umayya ibn Khalaf. Ibn Mas'ud says he later saw that man killed as a disbeliever. The event is related as one of the notable moments of the early period, when the surah was recited openly in Mecca and its impact moved even the polytheists to prostrate.
