Tafsir

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

Al-Baqarah 2:254

Word by word

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا بَيْعٌ فِيهِ وَلَا خُلَّةٌ وَلَا شَفَـٰعَةٌ ۗ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يأمر تعالى عباده بالإنفاق مما رزقهم في سبيله سبيل الخير ليدخروا ثواب ذلك عند ربهم ومليكهم وليبادروا إلى ذلك في هذه الحياة الدنيا ( من قبل أن يأتي يوم ) يعني : يوم القيامة ( لا بيع فيه ولا خلة ولا شفاعة ) أي : لا يباع أحد من نفسه ولا يفادى بمال لو بذله ، ولو جاء بملء الأرض ذهبا ولا تنفعه خلة أحد ، يعني : صداقته بل ولا نسابته كما قال : ( فإذا نفخ في الصور فلا أنساب بينهم يومئذ ولا يتساءلون ) [ المؤمنون : 101 ] ( ولا شفاعة ) أي : ولا تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين .وقوله : ( والكافرون هم الظالمون ) مبتدأ محصور في خبره أي : ولا ظالم أظلم ممن وافى الله يومئذ كافرا . وقد روى ابن أبي حاتم عن عطاء بن دينار أنه قال : الحمد لله الذي قال : ( والكافرون هم الظالمون ) ولم يقل : والظالمون هم الكافرون .
