Prophet, fear Allah and do not obey the disbelievers and the hypocrites.
Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
Prophet! Fear God, remain in fear of Him, and do not obey the disbelievers and
the hypocrites, [and so follow them] in what contravenes your Law. Truly God is
Knower, of what will happens before it happens, Wise, in what He creates.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Aware of what you do (ta‘malūna; a variant reading has ya‘malūna, ‘[what] they

Guardian, to preserve you. And [the members of] his [the Prophet’s] community

Translation
Allah
has not made for a man two hearts in his interior. And He has not made your
wives whom you declare unlawful your mothers. And he has not made your adopted
sons your [true] sons. That is [merely] your saying by your mouths, but Allah
says the truth, and He guides to the [right] way.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
God
has not placed two hearts inside any man: [this was revealed] in order to
refute those disbelievers who said that they each had two hearts with which
they could reason better than Muhammad’s single mind; nor has He made your
wives whom (read as allā’ī, or allā’) you repudiate by zihār (read
tazzahharūna, or tuzāhirūna; the original tā’ [of tatazāharūna] has been
assimilated with the zā’) — a man would say to his wife for example, ‘You are for
me as [untouchable as] my mother’s back’ — your mothers, in other words, [He
has not made you wives] like [your] mothers, so that they are illicit [for
conjugality] in that respect, [a practice] which in pre-Islamic times was
considered a [valid form of] divorce. An atonement with [necessary] conditions
is necessary in such a case, as mentioned in sūrat al-Mujādila [Q. 58:2-3]. Nor
has He made those whom you claim as [adopted] sons (ad‘iyā’, the plural of
da‘iyy, which is one claimed as the son of one who is not his [biological]
father) your sons, in reality. That is a mere utterance of your mouths, namely,
[of] the Jews and the hypocrites. When the Prophet (s) married Zaynab bt.
Jahsh, who had been Zayd b. Hāritha’s wife, the adopted son of the Prophet (s),
they said, ‘Muhammad married his son’s wife!’, and so God proved them liars in
this. But God speaks the truth, in this [matter], and He guides to the way, the
way of truth.

Call
them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allah .
But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in
religion and those entrusted to you. And there is no blame upon you for that in
which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is
Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Instead,
attribute them to their [true] fathers. That is more equitable, [that is] more
just, in the sight of God. If you do not know their [true] fathers, then they
are your brethren in religion and [as] your associates. And you would not be at
fault for any mistake you make, in this respect, except, in, what your hearts
may premeditate, after the prohibition [has been issued]. And God is Forgiving,
of whatever you said before the prohibition [was issued], Merciful, to you in
this respect.

Translation
The
Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in
the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more
entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allah than the [other] believers and
the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness
[through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
Prophet is closer to the believers than their [own] souls, in terms of what he
calls them to and what their own souls have called them to contravene, and his
wives are their mothers, insofar as they [the believers] are forbidden to marry
them. And those related by blood, kinsmen, are more entitled, to inherit
[from], one another in the Book of God than the [other] believers and the
Emigrants, in other words, than inheriting on account of [their sharing] faith
and the Emigration, which had been the case at the beginning of Islam but was
then abrogated; barring any favour you may do your friends, by [making] a
bequest, which is permissible. This, namely, the abrogation of inheritance on
account of [shared] faith and Emigration by the inheritance on account of
kinship, is written in the Book — in both instances al-kitāb, ‘the Book’,
denotes the Preserved Tablet (al-lawh al-mahfūz).

And

you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took
from them a solemn covenant.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And,
mention, when We took a pledge from the prophets, at the point when they were
brought forth from the loins of Adam, the size of atoms, and from you, and from
Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus son of Mary, that they worship [only] God
and call others to worship Him (the mention of the five [names] is an instance
of supplementing the specific to the general). And We took from them a solemn
pledge, a solid [one], that they fulfil what they have been charged with, and
this was [effected] by [swearing] an oath to God, after which the pledge was
consummated;

that
He, God, may question the truthful about their truthfulness, in delivering the
Message, as a way thereby to [justifiably] reproach the disbelievers; and He,
exalted be He, has prepared for those who disbelieve, in them, a painful
chastisement (‘adhāban alīman is a supplement to akhadhnā, ‘We took’).

O
you who believe! Remember God’s favour to you when hosts, of disbelievers, came
against you, as confederates, at the time the Ditch (al-khandaq) was being dug,
and We unleashed against them a [great] wind and hosts, of angels, you did not
see. And God is ever Seer of what you do (read ta‘malūna to imply ‘in the way
of [your] digging of the ditch’; or read ya‘malūna, ‘[of what] they do’, to
imply ‘the idolaters’ forming of a confederation’).

When
they came at you from above you and from below you, in other words, from the
higher side of the valley and from its lower side, from the east and from the
west, and when the eyes turned away [in fear], from everything, to [gaze at]

intense fear, while you entertained all sorts of, different, thoughts

And
when a party of them, namely, the hypocrites, said, ‘O people of Yathrib!,
namely, the region of Medina (it [Yathriba] is a diptote because of its being a
proper noun and because of the [morphological similarity it bears to a] verbal
form) there is not a stand [possible] (read muqām or maqām) for you [here], in
other words, no place to stay and no [strategic] position, so turn back, to
your dwellings in Medina — they had set out with the Prophet (s) towards the
foot of a mountain outside Medina for battle. And a group of them [even] sought
the permission of the Prophet, to turn back, saying, ‘Our homes are exposed,
unprotected and we fear for them’. God, exalted be He, says: although they were
not exposed. They only sought to flee, from battle.

grudging
to you, in their help (ashihha, ‘grudging’, is the plural of shahīh, and is a
circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject [of the verb] ya’tūna, ‘they
engage’). And when there is a panic, you see them looking at you, their eyes
rolling like one, that is, like the look of one, or the rolling of one,
fainting at death, in other words, [one] in the throes thereof; but when the
panic subsides, and the spoils have been secured, they scald you, they hurt
you, or they smite you, with [their] sharp tongues, in their greed for the riches,
in other words, for the spoils, which they demand [greedily]. Those, they never
believed, really. Therefore God has invalidated their works, and that,
invalidation, is easy for God, by His will.

Among

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Among
the believers are men who are true to the covenant they made with God, in

still awaiting, for this [fate], and they have not changed, [their commitment
to] the covenant, in the least, and they stand in contrast to the situation

And
it is not [fitting] for any believing man or believing woman, when God and His
Messenger have decided on a matter, to have (read takūna or yakūna) a choice in
their matter, in contravention of the decision of God and His Messenger. This
[verse] was revealed regarding ‘Abd Allāh b. Jahsh and his sister Zaynab, whose
hand the Prophet had asked for in marriage, but meaning on behalf of Zayd b.
Hāritha. They were loathe to this [proposal] when they found out [that it was
on the latter’s behalf], for they had thought that the Prophet (s) wanted to
marry her himself. But afterwards they consented because of the [following part
of the] verse: And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger has certainly strayed
into manifest error. Thus the Prophet (s) gave her in marriage to Zayd. Then on
one occasion he [the Prophet] caught sight of her and felt love for her, whereafter
[when he realised that] Zayd lost his affection for her and so said to the
Prophet (s), ‘I want to part with her’. But the Prophet said to him, ‘Retain
your wife for yourself’, as God, exalted be He, says:
وَإِذْ تَقُولُ

And
[remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor
and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah ," while you
concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the
people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no
longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon
the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when
they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah
accomplished.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
when (idh is dependent because of [an implied preceding] udhkur, ‘mention
[when]’) you said to him to whom God had shown favour, by [guiding him to]
Islam, and to whom you [too] had shown favour: by manumitting him — this was
Zayd b. Hāritha, who had been a prisoner of war before [the coming of] Islam
(in the period of al-jāhiliyya). The Messenger of God (s) purchased him before
his call to prophethood, and then manumitted him and adopted him as his son —
‘Retain your wife for yourself and fear God’, before divorcing her. But you had
hidden in your heart what God was to disclose, [what] He was to manifest of
your love for her and of [the fact] that should Zayd part with her you would
marry her, and you feared people, would say, ‘He has married his son’s wife!’,
though God is worthier that you should fear Him, in all things, so take her in
marriage and do not be concerned with what people say. Zayd subsequently
divorced her and her [obligatory] waiting period was completed. God, exalted be
He, says: So when Zayd had fulfilled whatever need he had of her, We joined her
in marriage to you — the Prophet consummated his marriage with her without [the
customary] permission [from her legal guardian] and gratified the Muslims with
[a feast of] bread and meat — so that there may not be any restriction for the
believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have
fulfilled whatever wish they have of them. And God’s commandment, that which He
has decreed, is bound to be realised.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
There
is no restriction for the Prophet in what God has ordained, [in what] He has
made lawful, for him: [that is] God’s precedent (sunnata’Llāhi is in the
accusative because the operator of the oblique has been removed [from the
oblique construction ka-sunnati’Llāhi, ‘as is God’s precedent’) with those who
passed away before, of prophets, which is that there is no restriction for them
in this respect, a [special] dispensation for them regarding marriage — and
God’s commandment, what He does, is inexorable destiny

is not the father of any man among you: he is not Zayd’s biological father and
so it is not unlawful for him to marry his [former] wife Zaynab [after him];
but, he is, the Messenger of God and the Seal of the Prophets, and so he will
not have a son that is a [fully grown] man to be a prophet after him (a variant
reading [for khātim al-nabiyyīna] has khātam al-nabiyyīn, as in the instrument
[known as a] ‘seal’, in other words, their [prophethood] has been sealed by
him). And God has knowledge of all things, among these is the fact that there
will be no prophet after him, and even when the lord Jesus descends [at the end

copulated with them, there shall be no [waiting] period for you to reckon
against them, [no] waiting period [needed to preclude pregnancy] or otherwise.
But provide for them, give them what they can use for [securing] comforts, in
cases where no dowry has been fixed for them; otherwise theirs is to retain
half of what was fixed, but no more — this is what Ibn ‘Abbās said and it is
[the opinion] followed by al-Shāfi‘ī’; and release them in a gracious manner,
leave them be without [the intention to cause them any] harm.

Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given
their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has
returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the
daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and
the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing
woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry
her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know
what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their
right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you
no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
Prophet! Indeed We have made lawful for you your wives whom you have given
their dowries and what your right hand owns, of those whom God has given you as
spoils of war, from the disbelievers, [whom you have] taken captive, such as
Safiyya and Juwayriyya, and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the
daughters of your paternal aunts, and the daughters of your maternal uncles and
the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you, as opposed to
those who did not emigrate, and any believing woman if she gift herself [in
marriage] to the Prophet and if the Prophet desire to take her in marriage, and
ask for her hand in marriage without paying [her] a dowry — a privilege for you
exclusively, not for the [rest of the] believers (nikāh, ‘marriage’, when
expressed by the term hiba, ‘gift’, denotes [marriage] without dowry). Indeed
We know what We have imposed upon them, namely, the believers, with respect to
their wives, in the way of rulings, to the effect that they should not take
more than four wives and should only marry with [the consent of] a legal
guardian, [the presence of] witnesses and [the payment of] a dowry, and, with
respect to, what their right hands own, of slavegirls, in the way of purchase
or otherwise, so that the handmaiden be one lawful for her master, such as a
slavegirl belonging to the People of the Scripture (kitābiyya), and not a Magian
or an idolater, and that she should be ascertained [as not carrying child] with
the necessary waiting period (istibrā’) before copulation; so that (li-kaylā is
semantically connected to what came before [this last statement]) there may be
no [unnecessary] restriction for you, [no] constraint in marriage [for you].
And God is Forgiving, of what is difficult to guard against, Merciful, in
giving dispensations [allowing for latitude] in this respect.

You,
[O Muhammad], may put aside whom you will of them or take to yourself whom you
will. And any that you desire of those [wives] from whom you had [temporarily]
separated - there is no blame upon you [in returning her]. That is more
suitable that they should be content and not grieve and that they should be
satisfied with what you have given them - all of them. And Allah knows what is
in your hearts. And ever is Allah Knowing and Forbearing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
You
may put off (read turji’ or turjī), you may postpone [consorting with],
whomever of them you wish, namely, of your wives, from their turn [for
intimacy], and consort, embrace [in conjugality], whomever you wish, of them,
and come unto her, and as for whomever you may desire of those whom you have
set aside, from their share, you would not be at fault, to desire her and
consort with her [again]. He was given the choice in this respect after it had
been obligatory for him to give each wife her [equal] share [of conjugality].
That, freedom of choice, makes it likelier that they will be comforted and not
grieve, and that they will be satisfied with what you give them, of what has
been mentioned of your freedom to choose [whom to consort with], every one of
them (kulluhunna emphasises the subject of [the verb] yardayna, ‘they will be
satisfied’) will be well-pleased with what you give her. And God knows what is
in your hearts, with respect to [your] women and [your] preferring some [to
others]. We have given you the freedom to choose [from among them] in order to
make it easier for you to have what you desire. And God is Knower, of His
creatures, Forbearing, in refraining from punishing them.

nine that have chosen you [as their husband], nor [is it lawful] for you to
change (tabaddala: one of the two original tā’ letters [of tatabaddala] has
been omitted) them for other wives, by divorcing them or some of them and marry
in place of those whom you divorce, even though their beauty impress you,
except those whom your right hand owns, of slavegirls, which is [in contrast]
lawful for you. In addition to these [slavegirls] the Prophet (s) came to own
Māriya [the Copt]. She bore for him Ibrāhīm, who died during his lifetime. And
God is Watcher over, Preserver [of], all things.

are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are
invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to

he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allah is not shy of the truth. And when you
ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer
for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not [conceivable or lawful] for you
to harm the Messenger of Allah or to marry his wives after him, ever. Indeed,
that would be in the sight of Allah an enormity.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
you who believe, do not enter the Prophet’s houses unless permission is granted
you, to enter by invitation, to [share] a meal, and so you enter, without
waiting for the [right] moment, [for] when it is ready (ināhu, a verbal noun
from anā, ya’nī). But when you are invited, enter, and, when you have had your
meal, disperse, without, lingering for, any [leisurely] conversation, amongst
yourselves. Indeed that, lingering, is upsetting for the Prophet, and he is
[too] shy of you, to make you leave, but God is not shy of the truth, that you
should leave — in other words, He would never refrain from declaring it (a
variant reading [for yastahyī] has yastahī). And when you ask anything of [his]
womenfolk, in other words, the wives of the Prophet (s), ask them from behind a
screen, a curtain. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts, than
[entertaining] sinful thoughts. And you should never cause the Messenger of God
hurt, in any way; nor ever marry his wives after him. Assuredly that in God’s
sight would be very grave, as a sin.

pester them. And God is Forgiving, of any occasion in the past when they may

يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ آذَوْا مُوسَىٰ فَبَرَّأَهُ اللَّهُ
مِمَّا قَالُوا ۚ وَكَانَ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَجِيهًا
Pronunciation
Ya

Translation
O
you who have believed, be not like those who abused Moses; then Allah cleared
him of what they said. And he, in the sight of Allah , was distinguished.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
you who believe, do not behave, towards your Prophet, as did those who harmed
Moses — when they would say, for example, ‘The only reason he does not wash
with us is that he has an inflammation in his testicles’ — whereat God absolved
him of what they alleged: when Moses placed his robe on a rock to go to wash,
the rock hurtled away with it until it came to a halt amid a group of men from
the Children of Israel. As Moses chased it and took his robe to cover himself,
they saw that he had no such inflammation (udra is an inflammation of the
testicle). And he was distinguished in God’s sight. An instance of our Prophet
(s) being subjected to hurt was when [on one occasion] while dividing up the
spoils a man said to him, ‘This is a division that I do not want to please
God!’, whereat the Prophet (s) became angered and said, ‘May God have mercy
upon Moses, for truly he was hurt with worse than this, but endured’ — reported
by al-Bukhārī.

Translation
Indeed,
we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they
declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he
was unjust and ignorant.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Indeed
We offered the Trust — [the obligation to] prayer and other matters which, when
performed, result in reward and when neglected, result in punishment — to the
heavens and the earth and the mountains, and created in them the power of
comprehension and speech [at the time of that offer], but they refused to bear
it and were apprehensive of it; but man, Adam, undertook it, when it was
offered to him. Truly he is a wrongdoer, to his own soul because of what he
undertook, ignorant, of [the responsibility that comes with] it —
لِّيُعَذِّبَ
اللَّهُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكَاتِ
وَيَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ
غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا

Translation
[It
was] so that Allah may punish the hypocrite men and hypocrite women and the men
and women who associate others with Him and that Allah may accept repentance
from the believing men and believing women. And ever is Allah Forgiving and
Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
so
that God may chastise (li-yu‘adhdhiba, the lām therein is semantically
connected to ‘aradnā, ‘We offered’, which resulted in ‘Adam’s undertaking’) the
hypocrites, men and women, and the idolaters, men and women, those who forsake
the Trust, and that God may relent to the believing men and believing women,
who fulfil the Trust. And God is Forgiving, to believers, Merciful, to them.
