Surah Al-Maaida · Ayah 44·Madanī

44

إِنَّآ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ فِيهَا بِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ لِلَّذِينَ بِمَا مِن عَلَيْهِ فَلَا وَلَا وَمَن لَّمْ بِمَآ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ﴿٤٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

قضاوت ناعادلانه؛ پهلو به پهلوی کفر

از پیامبر اکرم(ص) روایت شده است: «کسی که در مورد دو درهم حکم ظالمانه‌ای کند و شخص محکوم را مجبور به قبول حکم کند. مشمول این آیه است که می‌فرماید: و آنها که بر طبق احکامی که خدا نازل کرده» حکم نمی‌کنند. کافرند.» راوی حدیث می‌گوید: به پیامبر(ص) عرض کردم: چگونه محکوم را مجبور می‌کند؟ فرمود: «شلاق و زندان در اختیارش باشد؛ پس اگر به حکم او راضی شد که هیچ و گرنه با شلاق او را بزند و در زندان حبسش کند.» این سخن چنین معنا می‌دهد که اگر قاضی حکم ظالمانه‌ای کند و قدرت اجرا نیز داشته باشدء کافر شده است.
