33:40

تفسير الجلالين

(ما كان محمد أبا أحد من رجالكم) فليس أبا زيد أي والده فلا يحرم عليه التزوج بزوجته زينب (ولكن) كان (رسول الله وخاتم النبيين) فلا يكون له ابن رجل بعده يكون نبيا وفي قراءة بفتح التاء كآلة الختم أي به ختموا (وكان الله بكل شيء عليما) منه بأن لا نبي بعده وإذا نزل السيد عيسى يحكم بشريعته

تفسير ابن كثير

وقوله تعالى: {ولكن رسول الله وخاتم النبيين وكان الله بكل شيء عليماً} كقوله عز وجل: {الله أعلم حيث يجعل رسالته} فهذه الاَية نص في أنه لانبي بعده, وإِذا كان لانبي بعده فلا رسول بعده بالطريق الأولى والأحرى

Ibn Kathir in his commentary states:

This Ayah clearly states that there will be no Prophet after him. If there will be no Prophet after him then there will surely be no Messenger after him either, because the status of a Messenger is higher than that of a Prophet, for every Messenger is a Prophet but the reverse is not the case.

The 12th century Islamic philosopher, Raghib Isfahani, says in his Al-Mufradat fi Gharib al-Quran:

"Verily Allah the Exalted ended the office of Prophethood (for anyone in future) and made his Shari’ah to abrogate the Shari’ahs of others. In one way he made this Shari’ah perfected, as Allah the Exalted says: ‘Today have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you’."(5:5).[29]

He further explainthis epithet in these words:

"And Khatim al-Nabiyyin, for he has ended the Nubuwwa (Prophethood), i.e. with him the Prophethood has come to an end".[30]
