ثروت و فرزندان؛ دو وسیلة آزمایش

این آیه در ادامةٌ آیةُ پیش است و به مسلمانان می‌فرماید که به خاطر اموال و فرزندانتان» به خدا و پیامبر(ص) و امانت‌های دیگران خیانت نکنید. می‌دانیم که اموال و اولاد برخی از مسلمانان که به مدینه هجرت کرده بودندء هنوز در مکه بود و آنها به خاطر جلب نظر مشرکان, برخی از اخبار سری مسلمانان را در اختیار مشرکان می کذاشتند تا انها نیز به زن و فرزند و اموال ایشان کاری نداشته باشند. این أیه به مسلمانان هشدار داد که شما به وسیلة اموال و اولادتان آزمایش می شوید و مبادا که از این امتحان سرافکنده خارج شوید. به هر حال» این دو (اموال و اولاد) از مواردی هستند که انسان به شدت به آنها دلبستگی دارد. به همین سببء» همةٌ ما باید در این دو میدان بزرگ امتحان» خود را به خدا بسپاریم و به هوش باشیم؛ زیرا افراد بسیاری در این دو میدان لغزیدند و نفرین ابدی را برای خود فراهم کردند.
