Tafsir

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

Al-Ahzab 33:20

Word by word

يَحْسَبُونَ ٱلْأَحْزَابَ لَمْ يَذْهَبُوا۟ ۖ وَإِن يَأْتِ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِى ٱلْأَعْرَابِ يَسْـَٔلُونَ عَنْ أَنۢبَآئِكُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ فِيكُم مَّا قَـٰتَلُوٓا۟ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

They think the companies have not [yet] withdrawn. And if the companies should come [again], they would wish they were in the desert among the bedouins, inquiring [from afar] about your news. And if they should be among you, they would not fight except for a little.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وهذا أيضا من صفاتهم القبيحة في الجبن والخوف والخور ، ( يحسبون الأحزاب لم يذهبوا ) بل هم قريب منهم ، وإن لهم عودة إليهم ( وإن يأت الأحزاب يودوا لو أنهم بادون في الأعراب يسألون عن أنبائكم ) أي : ويودون إذا جاءت الأحزاب أنهم لا يكونون حاضرين معكم في المدينة بل في البادية ، يسألون عن أخباركم ، وما كان من أمركم مع عدوكم ، ( ولو كانوا فيكم ما قاتلوا إلا قليلا ) أي : ولو كانوا بين أظهركم ، لما قاتلوا معكم إلا قليلا; لكثرة جبنهم وذلتهم وضعف يقينهم .
