Surah Aal-i-Imraan · Ayah 118·Madanī

118

ٱلَّذِينَ لَا مِّن لَا مَا قَدْ مِنْ وَمَا قَدْ لَكُمُ إِن ﴿١١٨﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

مسلمانان, اسرار خود را نزد کافران فاش نکنند

در شأن نزول این آیه آمده است که عده‌ای از مسلمانان» به سبب قرابت یا همسایگی یا حق رضاع یا پیمانی که پیش از اسلام بسته بودند. با پهودیان دوستی داشتند و به قدری با آنها صمیمی بودند که اسرار مسلمانان را به آنان می‌گفتند و بدین وسیله» قوم یهود که دشمن سرسخت اسلام و مسلمین بودند و به ظاهر خود را دوست مسلمانان معرفی می‌کردندء از اسرار مسلمانان مطلع می‌شدند. این آیه نازل شد و به آنان هشدار داد که چون آنان در دین شما نیستند» نباید آنها را محرم اسرار خود قرار دهید؛ زیرا آنان در بارة شما از هیچ شر و فسادی کوتاهی نمی‌کنند و می‌خواهند شما همیشه در رنج و عذاب باشید.
