61

وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌۭ ۚ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍۢ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ

And among them are those who abuse the Prophet and say, "He is an ear." Say, "[It is] an ear of goodness for you that believes in Allah and believes the believers and [is] a mercy to those who believe among you." And those who abuse the Messenger of Allah - for them is a painful punishment.

﴿أُذُنࣱ﴾: يستمعُ لكلِّ ما يُقالُ له ويُصَدِّقُه.

﴿قُلۡ أُذُنُ خَيۡرࣲ لَّكُمۡ﴾: أي: أُذُنٌ في الخيرِ والحقِّ، وفيما يجبُ سَماعُه وقَبولُه.

﴿وَيُؤۡمِنُ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ﴾: ويُصَدِّقُ المؤمنين فيما يُخبرونه.

62

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ أَحَقُّ أَن يُرْضُوهُ إِن كَانُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ

They swear by Allah to you [Muslims] to satisfy you. But Allah and His Messenger are more worthy for them to satisfy, if they should be believers.

Explained together with ayah 61

63

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ مَن يُحَادِدِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَأَنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدًۭا فِيهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْخِزْىُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger - that for him is the fire of Hell, wherein he will abide eternally? That is the great disgrace.

﴿يُحَادِدِ﴾: يخالِفْ.

64

يَحْذَرُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ أَن تُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُورَةٌۭ تُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۚ قُلِ ٱسْتَهْزِءُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخْرِجٌۭ مَّا تَحْذَرُونَ

They hypocrites are apprehensive lest a surah be revealed about them, informing them of what is in their hearts. Say, "Mock [as you wish]; indeed, Allah will expose that which you fear."

﴿تُنَبِّئُهُم﴾: تُخَبِّرُهم.

﴿بِمَا فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡ﴾: بما يُضْمِرُونَه في قلوبِهم من الكفرِ.

﴿مُخۡرِجࣱ مَّا تَحۡذَرُونَ﴾: مُظْهِرٌ ما تَخافُونه من الفضيحةِ.

65

وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ ۚ قُلْ أَبِٱللَّهِ وَءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَرَسُولِهِۦ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِءُونَ

And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?"

﴿وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُمۡ﴾: عَمّا قالوا من الطَّعْنِ في حَقِّك وحَقِّ أصحابِك.

﴿نَخُوضُ وَنَلۡعَبُ﴾: نتحَدَّثُ بكلامٍ لم نَقْصِدْ به الإساءةَ.

66

لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا۟ قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمْ ۚ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَآئِفَةٍۢ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَآئِفَةًۢ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were criminals.

﴿إِن نَّعۡفُ عَن طَآئِفَةࣲ مِّنكُمۡ﴾: بالتوفيق للتوبةِ والإخلاصِ فيها.

﴿نُعَذِّبۡ طَآئِفَةَۢ﴾: بسبب تَرْكِ التوبةِ والإصرارِ على النِّفاقِ.

67

ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ ۚ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ

The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are of one another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right and close their hands. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them [accordingly]. Indeed, the hypocrites - it is they who are the defiantly disobedient.

﴿بَعۡضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضࣲ﴾: أي: مُتَشابهون في صفةِ النِّفاقِ والبُعْدِ عن الإيمانِ.

﴿بِٱلۡمُنكَرِ﴾: بالكفرِ والمعاصي.

﴿ٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ﴾: هو كلُّ ما عُرِفَ حُسْنُه في الشَّرعِ والعَقْلِ.

﴿وَيَقۡبِضُونَ أَيۡدِيَهُمۡ﴾: ويُمْسِكُون عن الإنفاقِ في طاعةِ اللهِ ومَرْضاتِه.

﴿نَسُواْ ٱللَّهَ﴾: تَرَكُوا طاعتَه وأوامرَه.

﴿فَنَسِيَهُمۡ﴾: فتركَهم من رحمتِه وثوابِه.

﴿ٱلۡفَـٰسِقُونَ﴾: الخارجُون عن الإيمانِ والطاعة.

68

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتِ وَٱلْكُفَّارَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ هِىَ حَسْبُهُمْ ۚ وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ مُّقِيمٌۭ

Allah has promised the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the disbelievers the fire of Hell, wherein they will abide eternally. It is sufficient for them. And Allah has cursed them, and for them is an enduring punishment.

﴿حَسۡبُهُمۡ﴾: كافِيهم؛ عقابًا على كفرِهم.

﴿وَلَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ﴾: طَرَدَهم مِن رحمتِه.

﴿مُّقِيمࣱ﴾: دائمٌ لا ينقطعُ.

69

كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةًۭ وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٰلًۭا وَأَوْلَٰدًۭا فَٱسْتَمْتَعُوا۟ بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَٰقِكُمْ كَمَا ٱسْتَمْتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَٱلَّذِى خَاضُوٓا۟ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَٰسِرُونَ

[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.

﴿بِخَلَـٰقِهِمۡ﴾: بنصيبِهم الذي قُدِّرَ لهم من مَلاذِّ الدنيا.

﴿وَخُضۡتُمۡ﴾: ودَخَلْتُم في الباطلِ والطَّعْنِ في الدِّينِ.

﴿حَبِطَتۡ﴾: بَطَلَتْ.

70

أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍۢ وَعَادٍۢ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَأَصْحَٰبِ مَدْيَنَ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَٰتِ ۚ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Has there not reached them the news of those before them - the people of Noah and [the tribes of] 'Aad and Thamud and the people of Abraham and the companions of Madyan and the towns overturned? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. And Allah would never have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.

﴿نَبَأُ﴾: خبرُ.

﴿وَأَصۡحَـٰبِ مَدۡيَنَ﴾: هم قومُ شعيبٍ عليه السلام.

﴿وَٱلۡمُؤۡتَفِكَـٰتِ﴾: قُرى قومِ لوطٍ عليه السلام، التي انقلبَتْ بهم، فصار عالِيها سافلَها.

﴿بِٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ﴾: بالوَحْيِ والمعجزاتِ.

﴿كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ﴾: بتعريضِها للعقابِ؛ بسببِ كُفْرِهم.
