What does barakatul wahy refer to?
Answer
Wahy in this Hadith refers to the Quran, as explained by ‘Allamah Munawi (rahimahullah).
He explains further:
‘Being deprived [of the barakah of wahy means] being deprived of understanding the Quran, as well as being deprived of the enjoyment of its recital in addition to not taking heed of its teachings, despite one mastering its recital and its explanations (tafsir).’
