Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Meaning of `Taqwa of AllahIbn Abi Hatim recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud commented on the Ayah,اتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ(Have Taqwa of Allah as is His due,)"That He is obeyed and not defied, remembered and not forgotten and appreciated and not unappreciated." This has an authentic chain of narration to `Abdullah bin Mas`ud. Al-Hakim collected this Hadith in his Mustadrak, from Ibn Mas`ud, who related it to the Prophet .
