Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:4

Word by word

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَـٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنقُصُوكُمْ شَيْـًٔا وَلَمْ يُظَـٰهِرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدًا فَأَتِمُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْ عَهْدَهُمْ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allāh loves the righteous [who fear Him].

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

هذا استثناء من ضرب مدة التأجيل بأربعة أشهر ، لمن له عهد مطلق ليس بمؤقت ، فأجله ، أربعة أشهر يسيح في الأرض ، يذهب فيها لينجو بنفسه حيث شاء ، إلا من له عهد مؤقت ، فأجله إلى مدته المضروبة التي عوهد عليها ، وقد تقدمت الأحاديث : ومن كان له عهد مع رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فعهده إلى مدته وذلك بشرط ألا ينقض المعاهد عهده ، ولم يظاهر على المسلمين أحدا ، أي : يمالئ عليهم من سواهم ، فهذا الذي يوفى له بذمته وعهده إلى مدته ؛ ولهذا حرض الله تعالى على الوفاء بذلك فقال : ( إن الله يحب المتقين ) أي : الموفين بعهدهم .
