الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا

Translation
O
you who have believed, do not put [yourselves] before Allah and His Messenger
but fear Allah . Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
you who believe, do not venture ahead of (tuqaddimū, [derives] from qaddama,
with the sense of [the 5th form] taqaddama), that is to say, do not come
forward with any [unwarranted] saying or deed [ahead of], God and His
Messenger, the one communicating [the Message] from Him, that is to say,
without their permission, and fear God. Surely God is Hearer, of your sayings,
Knower, of your deeds: this was revealed regarding the dispute between Abū Bakr
and ‘Umar, may God be pleased with them both, in the presence of the Prophet
(s), over the appointment of al-Aqra‘ b. Hābis or al-Qa‘qā‘ b. Ma‘bad as
commander [of his tribe].

Translation
O
you who have believed, do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet
or be loud to him in speech like the loudness of some of you to others, lest
your deeds become worthless while you perceive not.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
following was revealed regarding those who raised their voices in the presence
of the Prophet (s): O you who believe, do not raise your voices — when you
[want to] speak — above the voice of the Prophet, when he is speaking, and do
not shout words at him, when you [wish to] confide in him, as you shout to one
another, but [speak] lower than that, out of reverence for him, lest your works
should be invalidated without your being aware, that is to say, for fear of
this [happening] as a result of the raising of voices and the shouting
mentioned.

Indeed,
those who lower their voices before the Messenger of Allah - they are the ones
whose hearts Allah has tested for righteousness. For them is forgiveness and
great reward.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
following was revealed regarding those who used to lower their voices in the
presence of the Prophet (s), such as Abū Bakr, ‘Umar and others, may God be
pleased with [all of] them: Truly those who lower their voices in the presence
of God’s Messenger — they are the ones whose hearts God has tested for God-fearing,
that is to say, [He has tested them] so that this [fear of God] may manifest
itself in them. For them will be forgiveness and a great reward: Paradise.

Indeed,

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
following was revealed regarding a group of people who came to see the Prophet
(s) during the midday [resting] period while he was in his house, and called
out to him: Truly those who call you from behind the apartments, the [private]
chambers of his womenfolk (hujurāt is the plural of hujra, which is an area of
ground on which stones are laid [yuhjaru ‘alayhi] to form a wall or the like),
and it happened that each one of them called out, in that rough and crude
Bedouin manner, from behind one of the apartments, as they did not know in
which apartment he was, most of them do not understand, given the way in which
they acted, your exalted status and the reverence that befits it.

And

better for them. But Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
had they been patient (annahum, ‘they’, has independent status, on account of
inceptiveness; alternatively, it is said to govern an implied verb such as
thabata, ‘had [their patience] been maintained’) until you came out to them, it
would have been better for them; and God is Forgiving, Merciful, to those of
them who repent.

Translation
O
you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with
information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become,
over what you have done, regretful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
The
following was revealed regarding al-Walīd b. ‘Uqba whom the Prophet had sent to
the Banū al-Mustaliq in order to ascertain [their loyalty to Islam]. He already
feared them on account of an old feud between him and them from the time of
pagandom [before Islam], and so [upon seeing them come out to him] he returned
and claimed that they had refused to give the voluntary alms and intended to
kill him. And just as the Prophet (s) was making plans to raid them, they came
to him to disavow what he [al-Walīd] had said about them: O you who believe, if
a reprobate should come to you with some tiding, some piece of information,
verify [it], [ascertain] his truthfulness from his mendacity (fa-tabayyanū: a
variant reading has fa-tathabbatū, from al-thabāt, ‘to ascertain’), lest you
injure a folk (an tusībū qawman, an object denoting reason), that is to say,
for fear of this [happening], out of ignorance (bi-jahālatin is a
circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject [of the verb]), that is to
say while you are ignorant; and then become remorseful of what you have
perpetrated, erroneously against that folk. After they had returned to their
homelands, the Prophet (s) sent Khālid [b. al-Walīd] to them, who observed only
obedience and goodness in them and [later] informed the Prophet of this.

Translation
And
know that among you is the Messenger of Allah . If he were to obey you in much
of the matter, you would be in difficulty, but Allah has endeared to you the faith
and has made it pleasing in your hearts and has made hateful to you disbelief,
defiance and disobedience. Those are the [rightly] guided.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
know that the Messenger of God is among you, so do not speak falsehood, for God
will inform him of the [real] state of affairs. If he were to obey you in many
matters, which you communicate contrary to reality, so that the necessary
[evil] consequences ensue, you would surely be in trouble, you would earn in
addition to that sin, the sin for the consequences that ensue [from your
error]. But God has endeared faith to you, adorning your hearts with it, and He
has made odious to you disbelief and immorality and disobedience ([an instance
of] suppletion with respect to import, as opposed to [lexical] form; for the
one to whom ‘faith has been endeared …’ and so forth, will naturally be
dissimilar in character to the mentioned [reprobate]). Those (there is here a
shift from the second [to the third] person address) — they are the
right-minded, the ones firmly established upon [the way of] their religion;

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

the implied verbal action, that is, afdala, ‘He gives a favour’) and a grace,
from Him, and God is Knower, of them, Wise, in His bestowal of graces on them.

And
if two factions among the believers should fight, then make settlement between
the two. But if one of them oppresses the other, then fight against the one
that oppresses until it returns to the ordinance of Allah . And if it returns,
then make settlement between them in justice and act justly. Indeed, Allah
loves those who act justly.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
if two parties of believers (in tā’ifatāni mina’l-mu’minīna... [to the end of]
the verse, was revealed regarding a particular incident where the Prophet (s)
was riding a donkey and happened to pass by Ibn Ubayy; the donkey urinated and
so Ibn Ubayy held his nose, whereupon [‘Abd Allāh] Ibn Rawāhā said, ‘By God,
the smell of the donkey’s urine is sweeter-smelling than your musk. Fighting
then ensued between the two clans with fists, sandals and palm branches [being
thrown about]) fall to fighting (iqtatalū: the plural is used on account of the
[plural] import, for each party is made up of several individuals; a variant
reading has [the dual form] iqtatalatā), make peace between them (baynahumā:
the dual here takes into account the actual [dual] form [of tā’ifatān, ‘two
parties’]). And if one of them aggresses against the other, fight the one which
aggresses until it returns to God’s ordinance, [to] the truth. Then, if it
returns, reconcile them, fairly, and act justly. Surely God loves the just.

The
believers are indeed brothers, in religion. Therefore [always] make peace
between your brethren, when they fall into dispute with one another (a variant
reading [for the dual form akhawaykum, ‘your two brethren’] has ikhwatakum,
‘your brothers’) and fear God, so that perhaps you might receive mercy.

faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
you who believe, do not let any people, that is, any men among you, deride (yā
ayyuhā’lladhīna āmanū lā yaskhar … [to the end of] the verse, was revealed
regarding the [Banū] Tamīm delegation when they derided the poor among the
Muslims, like ‘Ammār [b. Yāsir] and Suhayb [al-Rūmī]; al-sukhriya means ‘scorn’
and ‘disdain’) another people: who may be better than they are, in God’s sight;
nor let any women, from among you, deride [other] women who may be better than
they are. And do not defame one another, do not cast aspersions [on others] and
hence have aspersions cast on you, that is, let none among you denigrate
another; nor insult one another by nicknames, do not call another by a nickname
which he detests, such as ‘O degenerate one!’ or ‘O disbeliever!’. Evil is the
name, mentioned out of mockery, derision and mutual reviling, of immorality
after faith! (al-fusūqu ba‘da’l-īmāni substitutes for al-ismu, ‘the name’, to
indicate that it [such naming of others] is ‘immorality’ as it is [an action
which is] usually repeated). And whoever does not repent, of such [immorality],
those — they are the evildoers.

you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some
assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like
to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah
; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
O
you who believe, shun much suspicion. Indeed some suspicions are sins, that is
to say, it causes one to fall into sin. This [suspicion] may have many forms,
such as thinking ill of the good folk from among the believers — and such [good
folk] are many — in contrast to the immoral individuals among them in whose
case there is no sin, so long as it [the suspicion] is in accordance with their
outward behaviour. And do not spy (tajassasū: one of the two tā’ letters [of
tatajassasū] has been omitted): do not pursue the imperfections and faults of
Muslims by searching them out; nor backbite one another, do not speak of him by
[mentioning] something which he is averse to [having mentioned of himself],
even if it be true. Would any of you love to eat the flesh of his brother dead?
(read maytan or mayyitan). That is to say, it would not be right for him [to do
so]. You would abhor it. Thus to backbite him in life would be like eating his
flesh when he is dead. This latter [form of behaviour] has been suggested to
you and you were averse to it, so be averse to the former too. And fear God,
that is, His punishment for backbiting, by repenting of it; assuredly God is
Relenting, accepting of the penitence of those who repent, Merciful, to them.

O
mankind! We have indeed created you from a male and a female, [from] Adam and
Eve, and made you nations (shu‘ūb is the plural of sha‘b, which is the broadest
category of lineage) and tribes (qabā’il, which are smaller than nations, and
are followed by ‘amā’ir, ‘tribal districts’, then butūn, ‘tribal
sub-districts’, then afkhādh, ‘sub-tribes’, and finally fasā’il, ‘clans’; for
example Khuzayma is the sha‘b, while Kināna is the qabīla, Quraysh is the
‘imāra, Qusayy is the batn, Hāshim is the fakhdh, and ‘Abbās is the fasīla)
that you may come to know one another (ta‘ārafū: one of the two tā’ letters [of
tata‘ārafū] has been omitted), that you may acquire knowledge of [the customs
of] one another and not to boast to one another of [whose is the more] noble
lineage, for pride lies only in [the extent to which you have] fear of God.
Truly the noblest of you in the sight of God is the most God-fearing among you.
Truly God is Knower, of you, Aware, of your inner thoughts.

concealed from Him.
