Tafsir

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

Az-Zumar 39:45

Word by word

وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ ٱشْمَأَزَّتْ قُلُوبُ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَإِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

And when Allāh is mentioned alone, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter shrink with aversion, but when those [worshipped] other than Him are mentioned, immediately they rejoice.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم قال تعالى ذاما للمشركين أيضا : ( وإذا ذكر الله وحده ) أي : إذا قيل : لا إله إلا الله ( اشمأزت قلوب الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة ) قال مجاهد : ( اشمأزت ) انقبضت .وقال السدي : نفرت . وقال قتادة : كفرت واستكبرت . وقال مالك ، عن زيد بن أسلم : استكبرت . كما قال تعالى : ( إنهم كانوا إذا قيل لهم لا إله إلا الله يستكبرون ) [ الصافات : 35 ] ، أي : عن المتابعة والانقياد لها . فقلوبهم لا تقبل الخير ، ومن لم يقبل الخير يقبل الشر ; ولهذا قال : ( وإذا ذكر الذين من دونه ) أي : من الأصنام والأنداد ، قاله مجاهد ، ( إذا هم يستبشرون ) أي : يفرحون ويسرون .
