Ayat
31. "Increase my strength
with him,
Ayat 32. "And let him share my
task (of conveying Allah's Message and Prophethood),
Ayat 33. "That we may glorify You
much,
Ayat 34. "And remember You much,
Ayat 35. "Verily! You are of us Ever a Well-Seer."
[Tafseer] "Add to my strength through him,
Literally,
"Strengthen my back with him". A man's strength lies in his back and backbone so
that he can stand erect and boldly face his tasks. "And make him share my
task: "That
we may celebrate, Thy praise without stint, The requests that Moses makes are
inspired, not by earthly but by spiritual motives. The motive, expressed in the
most general terms, is to glorify Allah, not in an occasional way, but
systematically and continuously, "without stint." The clauses in this verse and
the next, taken together, govern all the requests he
makes, "And
remember Thee without stint: "For Thou art He that (ever) regarded
us." The
celebration of Allah's praise and remembrance is one form of showing gratitude
on the part of Moses for the Grace which Allah had bestowed upon
him.
Hazrat Abu Umamah
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The superiority of the learned over the devout worshipper is
like my superiority over the most inferior amongst you (in good deeds).'' He
went on to say, "Allah, His angels, the dwellers of the heaven and the earth,
and even the ant in its hole and the fish (in water) supplicate in favour of
those who teach people knowledge.''
[At-Tirmidhi, Hadith #
2685]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Taha Ayat 32.""And let him share my
task (of conveying Allah's Message and Prophethood)" Alim (learned person) here means scholar of the Qur'an and
Hadith, who adheres to Faraid and Sunnah and remains busy in learning and
imparting knowledge. `Abid (devout worshipper) is one who spends most of his
time in the worship of Allah. The benefit of his voluntary prayer and
remembrance of Allah is restricted to his own self while the benefit of
knowledge of the scholar reaches others also. Hence, of the two, the latter is
far superior. If Salat is mentioned with reference to Allah, it denotes "Allah's
Grace with Mercy;'' if it is mentioned with reference to the angels, it denotes
"to pray for forgiveness;'' and if it is mentioned with reference to other
creatures - men, animals, etc., - then it means prayer and supplication. Thus,
Allah graces that person with His Mercy who teach people the beneficial
knowledge, i.e., the knowledge of Islam; angels pray to Allah to forgive his (or
her) sins; and other creatures pray for his (or her) well-being. In this way,
this Hadith stresses the distinction of religious scholars and highlights the
esteem in which they are held by Allah, His angels and His other
creatures.
