[02] Surah Al-Baqarah [The Cow]
Ayat 269. He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted abundant good. But none remember (will receive admonition) except men of understanding.
Tafseer of Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 269. He granteth wisdom to whom He pleaseth; and he to whom wisdom is granted receiveth indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding. The Arabic term for wisdom is Hikmah. In the Quran, it means the knowledge and the understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah and one’s ability to speak and act in the right way. Allah (SWT) states: “He grants Hikmah (wisdom) to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah (wisdom) is granted, is indeed granted abundant good.” (Al-Baqarah 2:269) Apparently, wisdom is something bestowed upon a person by Allah (SWT). A person may be learned, but it does not mean he is wise. The Prophet 
[SAWW](PBUH), though unlettered, was an epitome of wisdom. “Our Lord! Send amongst them a Messenger of their own (and indeed Allah answered their invocation by sending Muhammad [SAWW](PBUH), who shall recite unto them Your Verses and instruct them in the Book (this Quran) and Al-Hikmah (full knowledge of the Islamic laws and jurisprudence or wisdom or Prophethood), and purify them. Verily! You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (Al-Baqarah 2:129) This is further confirmed about the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) in Al-Baqarah 2:151 and in Al-Imran 3:164. In the Prophet’s [SAWW](PBUH) life, we find innumerable instances, when wisdom turned the tables. His silence, his speech, his anger and his restraint were all driven by wisdom that earned him unbelievable success in unfavourable circumstances. Even prior to receiving his prophetic mission, he was requested to settle a dispute amongst the chiefs of Makkah. They were quarrelling, as to who would be granted the honour of placing the black stone (Hajra Aswad) in the Kabah. The Messenger [SAWW](PBUH) suggested a simple yet wise solution, which was acceptable to all and, thus, defused a volatile situation. The Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) also demonstrated wisdom in the most pressured times, such as at the time of Hudaibiyah, when the enemies drafted a pact that the companions were displeased with. However, amidst the mounting tension, they obeyed the Prophet’s [SAWW](PBUH) decision to agree to the pact. Time proved, how that same pact worked in favour of Muslims, thus attesting to the Prophet’s [SAWW](PBUH) wisdom and endurance. What does it take to become wise? Is there a formula for it? And of all qualities in life, why should one seek wisdom? Does it pay to be wise? These are all pertinent questions. Ibn Masud (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet [SAWW](PBUH) said: “There is no envy except in two instances: a person, whom Allah has endowed with wealth and he spends it righteously, and a person, whom Allah has given Hikmah, and he judges by it and teaches it to others.” (Bukhari and Muslim)
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah the Most High says: `From amongst my servants, the quicker the one is in breaking the Saum (fasting), the dearer is he to me.''
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 700].
Lesson : The person who breaks the Saum in its early time is best loved by Allah because he is a true follower of the Prophet [SAWW]( (PBUH).
