أَن مَا إِلَى فِيهَا فَإِن لَّمْ إِلَيْكُمُ وَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكُمْ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ ﴿٩١﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

You will find others who wish to obtain security from you and [to] obtain security from their people. Every time they are returned to [the influence of] disbelief, they fall back into it. So if they do not withdraw from you or offer you peace or restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you overtake them. And those - We have made for you against them a clear authorization.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

شدت عمل در برابر دورویی

برای این ای شأن نزول‌های گوناگونی نقل شده که یکی از معروف‌ترین آنها این است که جمعی از مردم مکه به خدمت پیامبر([ص) می‌آمدند و از روی خدعه و نیرنگ اظهار اسلام می‌کردند؛ اما همین که در برابر قریش و بت‌های آنها قرار می‌گرفتنده به نیایش و عبادت بت‌ها می‌پرداختند و به این ترتیب می‌خواستند از ناحیة اسلام و قریش هر دو آسوده باشند و از هر دو طرف سود برند و از هیچ یک زیان نبینند. این آیه نازل شد و دستور داد که مسلمانان در برابر این دسته شدت عمل به خرج دهند. شایان تذکر است که معانی آّیات در شأن نزول آنها خلاصه نمی‌شود؛ بلکه در تمامی زمان‌ها و مکان‌ها جریان دارد. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- المیزان» ج۵» ص ۳۱ و ۳۷ > ۱- المیزان» جچ۵» ص ۳۱و ۳۷ ۲- پیشین »ص ۳۹ ۳ نمونهء جچ۴. ص ۵۷ > ۳ نمونه» ید ص‌ ۵۷ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
