Ayahs 41–50 of 176

41

فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِشَهِيدٍۢ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شَهِيدًۭا

So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad] against these [people] as a witness?

﴿فَكَيۡفَ﴾: فكيف يكون حالُ الناسِ يومَ القيامةِ؟

﴿بِكَ﴾: أيها الرسولُ.

﴿عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ﴾: على أمَّتِك.

﴿شَهِيدࣰا﴾: شاهدًا على الأمَّةِ بما عَمِلت.

42

يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَوَدُّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَعَصَوُا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ لَوْ تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَ ٱللَّهَ حَدِيثًۭا

That Day, those who disbelieved and disobeyed the Messenger will wish they could be covered by the earth. And they will not conceal from Allah a [single] statement.

﴿تُسَوَّىٰ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ﴾: يجعلهم الله والأرضَ سواءً، فيصيرون ترابًا.

﴿وَلَا يَكۡتُمُونَ﴾: ولا يُخْفُون عن اللهِ شيئًا، وسوف تَشْهَدُ على عَمَلِهم جَوارحُهم.

43

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعْلَمُوا۟ مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِى سَبِيلٍ حَتَّىٰ تَغْتَسِلُوا۟ ۚ وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰٓ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَآءَ أَحَدٌۭ مِّنكُم مِّنَ ٱلْغَآئِطِ أَوْ لَٰمَسْتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا۟ مَآءًۭ فَتَيَمَّمُوا۟ صَعِيدًۭا طَيِّبًۭا فَٱمْسَحُوا۟ بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا

O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving.

﴿وَأَنتُمۡ سُكَـٰرَىٰ﴾: نَزَلَ هذا الحكمُ قبلَ تحريمِ الخمرِ.

﴿عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ﴾: مَن كان مُجتازًا من باب المسجد، أوهو المسافر.

﴿لَـٰمَسۡتُمُ﴾: جامَعْتُمْ.

﴿فَتَيَمَّمُواْ صَعِيدࣰا طَيِّبࣰا﴾: فاقصِدوا ترابًا طاهرًا.

44

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ نَصِيبًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ يَشْتَرُونَ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن تَضِلُّوا۟ ٱلسَّبِيلَ

Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture, purchasing error [in exchange for it] and wishing you would lose the way?

﴿نَصِيبࣰا مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ﴾: حَظًّا من العِلْم بالتوراةِ.

﴿ٱلسَّبِيلَ﴾: الطريقَ المستقيمَ.

45

وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَعْدَآئِكُمْ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَلِيًّۭا وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ نَصِيرًۭا

And Allah is most knowing of your enemies; and sufficient is Allah as an ally, and sufficient is Allah as a helper.

﴿وَلِيࣰّا﴾: يَتَوَلّاكم.

46

مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلْكَلِمَ عَن مَّوَاضِعِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍۢ وَرَٰعِنَا لَيًّۢا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَطَعْنًۭا فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۚ وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا وَٱسْمَعْ وَٱنظُرْنَا لَكَانَ خَيْرًۭا لَّهُمْ وَأَقْوَمَ وَلَٰكِن لَّعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا

Among the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard" and "Ra'ina," twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey" and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.

﴿هَادُواْ﴾: هم اليهودُ.

﴿يُحَرِّفُونَ ٱلۡكَلِمَ﴾: بتغييرِ اللفظِ أو المعنى أو هما جميعًا.

﴿غَيۡرَ مُسۡمَعࣲ﴾: لا سَمِعْتَ، وهذا من قَبيلِ الاستهزاءِ.

﴿وَرَ ٰ⁠عِنَا﴾: افهَمْ عنا، وأفْهِمْنا.

﴿لَيَّۢا بِأَلۡسِنَتِهِمۡ﴾: يَلْوُون ألسنتَهم عن الحق.

﴿وَٱسۡمَعۡ﴾: دونَ «غيرَ مُسْمَعٍ».

﴿وَٱنظُرۡنَا﴾: انتظِرْنا نَفْهَمْ عنك، بَدَلَ «راعِنا».

﴿وَأَقۡوَمَ﴾: وأصوبَ قولًا.

﴿لَّعَنَهُمُ﴾: طَرَدَهم من رحمتِه.

47

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ءَامِنُوا۟ بِمَا نَزَّلْنَا مُصَدِّقًۭا لِّمَا مَعَكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهًۭا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَارِهَآ أَوْ نَلْعَنَهُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلسَّبْتِ ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا

O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Muhammad], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the decree of Allah accomplished.

﴿لِّمَا مَعَكُم﴾: من الكُتُبِ.

﴿أَن نَّطۡمِسَ وُجُوهࣰا فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَدۡبَارِهَآ﴾: نَمْحُوَ الوجوهَ، ونجعلَ أبصارَها في أدبارِ الوجوهِ.

﴿أَصۡحَـٰبَ ٱلسَّبۡتِ﴾: هم اليهودُ الذين نُهُوا عن الصَّيدِ في يومِ السبت، فلم يَنْتَهُوا.

﴿مَفۡعُولًا﴾: كائنًا لا محالةَ.

48

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفْتَرَىٰٓ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.

49

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُزَكُّونَ أَنفُسَهُم ۚ بَلِ ٱللَّهُ يُزَكِّى مَن يَشَآءُ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا

Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, Allah purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, [even] as much as a thread [inside a date seed].

﴿يُزَكُّونَ﴾: يُثْنُون، وهم اليهودُ.

50

ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ ۖ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦٓ إِثْمًۭا مُّبِينًا

Look how they invent about Allah untruth, and sufficient is that as a manifest sin.
