Tafsir

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

Al-Hajj 22:53

Word by word

لِّيَجْعَلَ مَا يُلْقِى ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَٱلْقَاسِيَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ لَفِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍ

[That is] so He may make what Satan throws in [i.e., asserts] a trial for those within whose hearts is disease and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension.

وما كان هذا الفعل مِنَ الشيطان إلا ليجعله الله اختبارًا للذين في قلوبهم شك ونفاق، ولقساة القلوب من المشركين الذين لا يؤثِّرُ فيهم زجر. وإن الظالمين مِن هؤلاء وأولئك في عداوة شديدة لله ورسوله وخلافٍ للحق بعيد عن الصواب.
