Tafsir

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

Al-Hajj 22:13

Word by word

يَدْعُوا۟ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقْرَبُ مِن نَّفْعِهِۦ ۚ لَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَوْلَىٰ وَلَبِئْسَ ٱلْعَشِيرُ

He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

( يدعو لمن ضره أقرب من نفعه ) أي : ضرره في الدنيا قبل الآخرة أقرب من نفعه فيها ، وأما في الآخرة فضرره محقق متيقن .وقوله : ( لبئس المولى ولبئس العشير ) : قال مجاهد : يعني الوثن ، يعني : بئس هذا الذي دعا به من دون الله مولى ، يعني : وليا وناصرا ، ( ولبئس العشير ) وهو المخالط والمعاشر .واختار ابن جرير أن المراد : لبئس ابن العم والصاحب من يعبد [ الله ] على حرف ، ( فإن أصابه خير اطمأن به وإن أصابته فتنة انقلب على وجهه )وقول مجاهد : إن المراد به الوثن ، أولى وأقرب إلى سياق الكلام ، والله أعلم .
