Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:11

Word by word

فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

اشْتَرَوْاْ بِـَايَـتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً(They have purchased with the Ayat of Allah a little gain,) idolators exchanged following the Ayat of Allah with the lower affairs of life that they indulged in, فَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ(and they hindered men from His way), trying to prevent the believers from following the truth, إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُواْ يَعْمَلُونَلاَ يَرْقُبُونَ فِى مُؤْمِنٍ إِلاًّ وَلاَ ذِمَّةً(evil indeed is that which they used to do. With regard to a believer, they respect not the ties, either of kinship or of covenant!) 9:9-10. We explained these meanings before, as well as, the meaning of, فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلَوةَ(But if they repent, perform the Salah...)

Ma'arif al-Qur'an

Mufti Muhammad Shafi

At the end of verse 11, the text stresses upon the need to abide by given injunctions, regarding those covered under a treaty and those who have repented, by saying: وَنُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ (And We elaborate the verses for people who understand).

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

فإن أقلعوا عن عبادة غير الله، ونطقوا بكلمة التوحيد، والتزموا شرائع الإسلام من إقام الصلاة وإيتاء الزكاة، فإنهم إخوانكم في الإسلام. ونبين الآيات، ونوضحها لقوم ينتفعون بها.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وكذا الآية التي بعدها : ( فإن تابوا وأقاموا الصلاة ) إلى آخرها ، تقدمت .وقال الحافظ أبو بكر البزار : حدثنا محمد بن المثنى ، حدثنا يحيى بن أبي بكر ، حدثنا أبو جعفر الرازي ، حدثنا الربيع بن أنس قال : سمعت أنس بن مالك يقول : قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : من فارق الدنيا على الإخلاص لله وعبادته ، لا يشرك به ، وأقام الصلاة ، وآتى الزكاة ، فارقها والله عنه راض ، وهو دين الله الذي جاءت به الرسل وبلغوه عن ربهم ، قبل هرج الأحاديث واختلاف الأهواء " . وتصديق ذلك في كتاب الله : ( فإن تابوا ) يقول : فإن خلعوا الأوثان وعبادتها ( وأقاموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة فخلوا سبيلهم ) وقال في آية أخرى : ( فإن تابوا وأقاموا الصلاة وآتوا الزكاة فإخوانكم في الدين )ثم قال البزار : آخر الحديث عندي والله أعلم : " فارقها وهو عنه راض " ، وباقيه عندي من كلام الربيع بن أنس .
