Tafsir

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

An-Nisa 4:114

Word by word

۞ لَّا خَيْرَ فِى كَثِيرٍ مِّن نَّجْوَىٰهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَـٰحٍۭ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۚ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ ٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

No good is there in much of their private conversation, except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people. And whoever does that seeking means to the approval of Allāh - then We are going to give him a great reward.

لا نفع في كثير من كلام الناس سرّاً فيما بينهم، إلا إذا كان حديثًا داعيًا إلى بذل المعروف من الصدقة، أو الكلمة الطيبة، أو التوفيق بين الناس، ومن يفعل تلك الأمور طلبًا لرضا الله تعالى راجيًا ثوابه، فسوف نؤتيه ثوابًا جزيلا واسعًا.
