Surah At-Tawba · Ayah 80·Madanī

80

لَهُمْ أَوْ لَا لَهُمْ إِن لَهُمْ فَلَن لَهُمْ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لَا ﴿٨٠﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Ask forgiveness for them, [O Muhammad], or do not ask forgiveness for them. If you should ask forgiveness for them seventy times - never will Allah forgive them. That is because they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

آنجا که استغفار پیامبر(ص) نیز سودی ندارد

شک نیست که عدد هفتاد در این آیه برای بیان نمودن کثرت است و نه برای بیان شمار. به عبارت دیگرء مفهوم آیه این است که هر قدر برای آنها استغفار کنی» خداوند آنان را نمی‌بخشد؛ درست مانند این که کسی به دیگری می‌گوید: اگر صد بار هم اصرار کنی» قبول نخواهم کرد. مفهوم این سخن آن نیست که اگر صد و یک بار اصرار کنی» می‌پذیرم؛ بلکه منظور این است که مطلقاً نخواهم پذیرفت. از نظر قرآن» هیچ امیدی به نجات کفار و منافقین بدتر از کافر نیست؛ به جز آن‌ که پیش از مرگه از کفر و نفاق توبه کنند.
