Tafsir

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

Al-Munafiqun 63:5

Word by word

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ لَوَّوْا۟ رُءُوسَهُمْ وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ

And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of Allāh will ask forgiveness for you," they turn their heads aside and you see them evading while they are arrogant.

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

وإذا قيل لهؤلاء المنافقين: أقبلوا تائبين معتذرين عمَّا بدر منكم من سيِّئ القول وسفه الحديث، يستغفر لكم رسول الله ويسأل الله لكم المغفرة والعفو عن ذنوبكم، أمالوا رؤوسهم وحركوها استهزاءً واستكبارًا، وأبصرتهم -أيها الرسول- يعرضون عنك، وهم مستكبرون عن الامتثال لما طُلِب إليهم.
