Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Baqarah 2:100

Word by word

أَوَكُلَّمَا عَـٰهَدُوا۟ عَهْدًا نَّبَذَهُۥ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُم ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Is it not [true] that every time they took a covenant a party of them threw it away? But, [in fact], most of them do not believe.

ما أقبح حال بني إسرائيل في نقضهم للعهود!! فكلما عاهدوا عهدًا طرح ذلك العهد فريق منهم، ونقضوه، فتراهم يُبْرِمون العهد اليوم وينقضونه غدًا، بل أكثرهم لا يصدِّقون بما جاء به نبي الله ورسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.
