Tafsir

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

At-Taghabun 64:6

Word by word

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُوا۟ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ ۚ وَّٱسْتَغْنَى ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ

That is because their messengers used to come to them with clear evidences, but they said, "Shall human beings guide us?" and disbelieved and turned away. And Allāh dispensed [with them]; and Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

ذلك الذي أصابهم في الدنيا، وما يصيبهم في الآخرة؛ بسبب أنهم كانت تأتيهم رسل الله بالآيات البينات والمعجزات الواضحات، فقالوا منكرين: أبشر مثلنا يرشدوننا؟ فكفروا بالله وجحدوا رسالة رسله، وأعرضوا عن الحق فلم يقبلوه. واستغنى الله، والله غني، له الغنى التام المطلق، حميد في أقواله وأفعاله وصفاته لا يبالي بهم، ولا يضره ضلالهم شيئًا.
