Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 261–270 of 286

261

مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنۢبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِى كُلِّ سُنۢبُلَةٍۢ مِّا۟ئَةُ حَبَّةٍۢ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُضَٰعِفُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

﴿أَنۢبَتَتۡ سَبۡعَ سَنَابِلَ﴾: أخْرَجَتْ ساقًا تَشَعَّبَ منه سَبْعُ شُعَبٍ، في كل شُعبةٍ سنبلةٌ.

﴿يُضَـٰعِفُ﴾: الأجْرَ.

262

ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّۭا وَلَآ أَذًۭى ۙ لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

﴿مَنࣰّا﴾: التحَدُّثَ بما أعْطى، حتى يَبْلُغَ ذلك المُعْطى، فيؤذِيَه.

﴿أَذࣰى﴾: التطاولَ على المُعْطى.

﴿وَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ﴾: فيما يَسْتقبلونه من أجْر الآخرةِ.

﴿وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ﴾: على شيءٍ فاتَهم في الدنيا.

263

۞ قَوْلٌۭ مَّعْرُوفٌۭ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن صَدَقَةٍۢ يَتْبَعُهَآ أَذًۭى ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌۭ

Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Free of need and Forbearing.

﴿قَوۡلࣱ مَّعۡرُوفࣱ﴾: رَدٌّ جميل يُرَدُّ به السّائلُ.

﴿وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ﴾: وعَفْوٌ عمّا بَدَرَ من السّائلِ مِن إلحاحٍ.

264

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُبْطِلُوا۟ صَدَقَٰتِكُم بِٱلْمَنِّ وَٱلْأَذَىٰ كَٱلَّذِى يُنفِقُ مَالَهُۥ رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ ۖ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ صَفْوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ تُرَابٌۭ فَأَصَابَهُۥ وَابِلٌۭ فَتَرَكَهُۥ صَلْدًۭا ۖ لَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ مِّمَّا كَسَبُوا۟ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allah and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

﴿كَٱلَّذِي﴾: لا تُبْطِلُوها كما تَبْطُلُ صَدَقَةُ الذي.

﴿رِئَآءَ ٱلنَّاسِ﴾: ليراه الناسُ فَيمدَحُوه.

﴿صَفۡوَانٍ﴾: حجرٍ أملسَ.

﴿وَابِلࣱ﴾: مطرٌ غزيرٌ.

﴿فَتَرَكَهُۥ صَلۡدࣰا﴾: أملسَ يابِسًا لا شي ءَ عليه. وكذلك شأنُ المُرائِي لاتنفَعُه نفقتُه.

﴿لَّا يَقۡدِرُونَ﴾: لا ينتفعون.

265

وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمُ ٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ وَتَثْبِيتًۭا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍۭ بِرَبْوَةٍ أَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌۭ فَـَٔاتَتْ أُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ فَإِن لَّمْ يُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌۭ فَطَلٌّۭ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allah and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.

﴿وَتَثۡبِيتࣰا﴾: ويقينًا راسخًا بأنّ اللهَ سيَجْزيهم.

﴿بِرَبۡوَةٍ﴾: بأرضٍ عاليةٍ.

﴿وَابِلࣱ﴾: مطرٌ غزيرٌ.

﴿أُكُلَهَا﴾: ثَمَرَتَها.

﴿فَطَلࣱّ﴾: فالمطرُ الضعيفُ يَكْفيها.

266

أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن تَكُونَ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌۭ مِّن نَّخِيلٍۢ وَأَعْنَابٍۢ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ لَهُۥ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَأَصَابَهُ ٱلْكِبَرُ وَلَهُۥ ذُرِّيَّةٌۭ ضُعَفَآءُ فَأَصَابَهَآ إِعْصَارٌۭ فِيهِ نَارٌۭ فَٱحْتَرَقَتْ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allah make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.

﴿أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمۡ﴾: نَزَلَتِ الآيةُ في رجلٍ غنيٍّ يعملُ بطاعةِ اللهِ، ثم يعملُ بالمعاصي.

﴿إِعۡصَارࣱ﴾: ريحٌ شديدةٌ فيها نارٌ مُحرقةٌ.

﴿كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ﴾: هكذا حالُ غيرِ المخلصينَ في نفقاتِهم.

267

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّآ أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا۟ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِـَٔاخِذِيهِ إِلَّآ أَن تُغْمِضُوا۟ فِيهِ ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ

O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

﴿مِن طَيِّبَـٰتِ مَا كَسَبۡتُمۡ﴾: من جَيِّدِه، وحَلالِه.

﴿وَلَا تَيَمَّمُواْ ٱلۡخَبِيثَ﴾: ولا تَقْصِدُوا بالإنفاقِ الرَّديءَ من المالِ.

﴿وَلَسۡتُم بِـَٔاخِذِيهِ إِلَّآ أَن تُغۡمِضُواْ فِيهِ﴾: وإنْ أُعْطِيتُموه لم تأخُذُوه إلاإذا تَغاضَيْتُم عن رَداءتِه.

ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةًۭ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًۭا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allah promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

﴿يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلۡفَقۡرَ﴾: يُخَوِّفُكم، ويُغْرِيكم بالبُخْلِ.

﴿بِٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ﴾: بالمعاصي.

269

يُؤْتِى ٱلْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِىَ خَيْرًۭا كَثِيرًۭا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّآ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ

He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given much good. And none will remember except those of understanding.

﴿ٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ﴾: الإصابةَ في القولِ والفعلِ.

﴿ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰبِ﴾: العقولِ السليمةِ.

وَمَآ أَنفَقْتُم مِّن نَّفَقَةٍ أَوْ نَذَرْتُم مِّن نَّذْرٍۢ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُهُۥ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ

And whatever you spend of expenditures or make of vows - indeed, Allah knows of it. And for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.

﴿نَّذۡرࣲ﴾: ما تُوجِبُه على نفسِك.

﴿لِلظَّـٰلِمِينَ﴾: المانعين لحقِّ اللهِ في المالِ.
