Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:23

Word by word

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَكُمْ وَإِخْوَٰنَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَـٰنِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ

O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

أمر الله تعالى بمباينة الكفار به ، وإن كانوا آباء أو أبناء ، ونهى عن موالاتهم إذا ( استحبوا ) أي : اختاروا الكفر على الإيمان ، وتوعد على ذلك كما قال تعالى : ( لا تجد قوما يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر يوادون من حاد الله ورسوله ولو كانوا آباءهم أو أبناءهم أو إخوانهم أو عشيرتهم أولئك كتب في قلوبهم الإيمان وأيدهم بروح منه ويدخلهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار ) الآية [ المجادلة : 22 ] .وروى الحافظ [ أبو بكر ] البيهقي من حديث عبد الله بن شوذب قال : جعل أبو أبي عبيدة بن الجراح ينعت له الآلهة يوم بدر ، وجعل أبو عبيدة يحيد عنه ، فلما أكثر الجراح قصده ابنه أبو عبيدة فقتله ، فأنزل الله فيه هذه الآية : ( لا تجد قوما يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر ) الآية [ المجادلة : 22 ] .
