Tafsir

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

Muhammad 47:26

Word by word

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُوا۟ مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ سَنُطِيعُكُمْ فِى بَعْضِ ٱلْأَمْرِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِسْرَارَهُمْ

That is because they said to those who disliked what Allāh sent down, "We will obey you in part of the matter." And Allāh knows what they conceal.

ذلك الإمداد لهم حتى يتمادوا في الكفر ; بسبب أنهم قالوا لليهود الذين كرهوا ما نزل الله: سنطيعكم في بعض الأمر الذي هو خلاف لأمر الله وأمر رسوله، والله تعالى يعلم ما يخفيه هؤلاء ويسرونه، فليحذر المسلم من طاعة غير الله فيما يخالف أمر الله سبحانه، وأمر رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.
