Commentary
And of rivers, he suffices with the name of the genus. It is said that it is the vastness and brightness of the day. It is recited with the letter 'h' being silent. And river is the plural of river, like lion and lions. In a place of truthfulness in a praiseworthy location. And it is recited: In places of truthfulness by a Mighty King, close to a King whose command is ambiguous in kingship and power. Nothing exists except that it is under His dominion and ability. So what station is more honored than that station, which encompasses all joy and all happiness? About the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Whoever recites Surah Al-Qamar every [gap] will be raised by Allah on the Day of Resurrection, and his face will be like the moon on the night of the full moon.' [Reported by Al-Thalabi, Ibn Mardawayh, and Al-Wahidi with their chains to Abu Ubaydah.]
