Commenting
on this aayah, Ibn Katheer said:
“Imaam
ash-Shaafi’ee (may Allaah have mercy on him) and those who are of the same view
with him concluded from this aayah that reciting Qur’aan does not benefit the
dead, because it is not from their action and earning. For this reason, the Messenger
of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) did not recommend it to his Ummah,
encourage them to do it, or guide them to it with a text or a hint. Nor was
such a thing reported from any of the Companions (may Allaah be pleased with
them). Had this been any good, they would have preceded us in doing it. Matters
of worship must be limited to the texts, and are not liable to modifications
based on analogies and opinions.”[2]
