Surah At-Tawba · Ayah 8·Madanī

8

وَإِن عَلَيْكُمْ لَا فِيكُمْ وَلَا ﴿٨﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

How [can there be a treaty] while, if they gain dominance over you, they do not observe concerning you any pact of kinship or covenant of protection? They satisfy you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse [compliance], and most of them are defiantly disobedient.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

بی‌اعتنایی مشرکان به خویشاوندی

منظور از بخش اول این آیه این است که قریش اگر چه خویشاوند پیامبر و گروهی از مسلمانان هستندء هنگامی که خودشان کمترین اعتنایی به این موضوع ندارند و احترام خویشاوندان را رعایت نمی‌کنند.ء چگونه انتظار دارند پیامبر(ص) و مسلمانان در مورد آنها رعایت کنند. شبیه همین مطلب» در دو أَیةٌ بعد تکرار شده است. منظور از این تکرار» علاوه بر تأکیدء این است که در آَیةٌ ۸ سخن از یاران پیامبر و مسلمانانی بود که در اطراف و گرداگرد او بودند؛ ولی در این آیه سخن از هر فرد باایمان است؛ یعنی شما در نظر آنها اهمیتی ندارید؛ بلکه آنها با هرکس که موّمن و پیرو آیین توحید باشد» سر دشمنی دارند و ملاحظة هیج جیز را نمی کنند. پس اینها دشمن ایمان و حقاند. این مطلب، نظیر همان جیزی است که در آَیةٌ ۸ سورة بروج دربارة بعضی از اقوام گذشته آمده است: «آنها هیچ ایرادی بر موْمنان نداشتند جز این که به خداوند عزیز و حمید ایمان آورده بودند.»!
