Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 71–75 of 75

71

وَإِن يُرِيدُوا۟ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

But if they intend to betray you - then they have already betrayed Allah before, and He empowered [you] over them. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

﴿خِيَانَتَكَ﴾: بالغَدْرِ بك وخِداعِكَ.

﴿خَانُواْ ٱللَّهَ﴾: بمخالفةِ أمْرِه.

﴿مِن قَبۡلُ﴾: قبلَ غزوةِ «بدرٍ».

﴿فَأَمۡكَنَ مِنۡهُمۡ﴾: فأقدرك الله عليهم ونَصَرَك.

72

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَٰهَدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَوا۟ وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ مَا لَكُم مِّن وَلَٰيَتِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُوا۟ ۚ وَإِنِ ٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ فَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلنَّصْرُ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍۭ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُم مِّيثَٰقٌۭ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌۭ

Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - they are allies of one another. But those who believed and did not emigrate - for you there is no guardianship of them until they emigrate. And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty. And Allah is Seeing of what you do.

﴿وَهَاجَرُواْ﴾: انتقلُوا إلى دارِ الإسلام، أو بلدٍ يتمكَّنُون فيه من العبادةِ.

﴿وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَواْ﴾: هم الأنصارُ الذين أسكنُوا النبيَّ ﷺ والمهاجرين في دُورِهم.

﴿أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضࣲ﴾: في النُّصْرَةِ والمعونةِ.

﴿وَلَـٰيَتِهِم﴾: نُصْرَتهِم.

﴿ٱسۡتَنصَرُوكُمۡ﴾: طلبُوا نُصْرَتَكم.

﴿فِي ٱلدِّينِ﴾: بأنهم من أهلِ دينِكم.

﴿مِّيثَـٰقࣱ﴾: عَهْدٌ مؤكَّدٌ.

73

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ

And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so, there will be fitnah on earth and great corruption.

﴿إِلَّا تَفۡعَلُوهُ﴾: أي: تَوَلِّيَ المؤمنين ونُصْرتهم.

﴿فِتۡنَةࣱ﴾: للمؤمنين عن دينِهم.

﴿وَفَسَادࣱ كَبِيرࣱ﴾: بالصَّدِّ عن سبيلِ اللهِ، وقوةِ الكفرِ.

74

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَٰهَدُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَوا۟ وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّۭا ۚ لَّهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَرِزْقٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ

But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - it is they who are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.

75

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدُ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَٰهَدُوا۟ مَعَكُمْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَىٰ بِبَعْضٍۢ فِى كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۢ

And those who believed after [the initial emigration] and emigrated and fought with you - they are of you. But those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things.

﴿مِنۢ بَعۡدُ﴾: بعدَ السابقين إلى الإيمانِ والهجرةِ.

﴿فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ مِنكُمۡ﴾: أي: لهم ما لكم وعليهم ما عليكم.

﴿وَأُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ﴾: ذَوو القَراباتِ.

﴿أَوۡلَىٰ بِبَعۡضࣲ﴾: في الميراثِ من عامَّةِ المسلمين.

﴿كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ﴾: حُكْمِه الذي كَتَبَه في اللَّوحِ المحفوظِ.
