Sirat Ibn Hisham 456
نُزُولُ سُورَةِ الْكَوْثَرِ [ مَقَالَةُ الْعَاصِ فِي الرَّسُولِ وَنُزُولُ سُورَةِ الْكَوْثَرِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: وَكَانَ الْعَاصُ بْنُ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيُّ - فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي - إذَا ذُكِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: دَعُوهُ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ رَجُلٌ أَبْتَرُ لَا عَقِبَ لَهُ، لَوْ مَاتَ لَانْقَطَعَ ذِكْرُهُ وَاسْتَرَحْتُمْ مِنْهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ: إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا. وَالْكَوْثَرُ: الْعَظِيمُ.
Translation
✧ The revelation of Sūrat al-Kawthar [The statement of al-ʿĀṣ regarding the Messenger and the revelation of Sūrat al-Kawthar] Ibn Isḥāq said: Al-ʿĀṣ b. Wāʾil al-Sahmī—as far as it has reached me—when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was mentioned, would say: Leave him, for he is only a man cut off (abtar), having no posterity. If he were to die, his mention would cease and you would find rest from him. So Allah revealed concerning that: “Indeed, We have granted you al-Kawthar” (Q 108:1)—that which is better for you than this world and all that is in it. And al-kawthar is the great good.
