Surah At-Tawba · Ayah 74·Madanī

74

مَا وَلَقَدْ بِمَا لَمْ وَمَا إِلَّآ أَنْ مِن فَإِن لَّهُمْ وَإِن فِى وَمَا لَهُمْ فِى مِن وَلَا ﴿٧٤﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

They swear by Allah that they did not say [anything against the Prophet] while they had said the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their [pretense of] Islam and planned that which they were not to attain. And they were not resentful except [for the fact] that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty. So if they repent, it is better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And there will not be for them on earth any protector or helper.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

حق‌ناشناسی منافقان نسبت به الطاف خدا و پیامبر(ص)

شک نیست که بی‌نیاز شدن منافقان و رفع احتیاجات آنها در پرتو فضل پروردگار و حکومت اسلامی و خدمات پیامبر(ص)» چیزی نبود که بخواهند انتقام آن را بگیرند؛ بلکه جای حق‌شناسی و سپاسگزاری داشت؛ اما آن حق‌ناشناسان زشت‌سیرت» خدمت و نعمت را می‌خواستند با جنایت پاسخ گویند. این تعبیر زیبا و رسایی است که در بسیاری از گفته‌ها و نوشته‌ها به کار می‌رود؛ مثل این که به کسی که سال‌ها به او خدمت کرده‌ایم و بعد به ما خیانت می‌کند» می‌گوییم: گناه ما فقط این بود که به تو پناه دادیم و از تو دفاع کردیم و حداکثر محبت را به تو نمودیم.
