Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:50

Word by word

إِن تُصِبْكَ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُوا۟ قَدْ أَخَذْنَآ أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَيَتَوَلَّوا۟ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ

If good befalls you, it distresses them; but if disaster strikes you, they say, "We took our matter [in hand] before," and turn away while they are rejoicing.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

Allah emphasizes the enmity that the hypocrites have for the Prophet

If a blessing, such as victory and triumph over the enemies, is given to the Prophet , thus pleasing him and his Companions, it grieves the hypocrites, وَإِن تُصِبْكَ مُصِيبَةٌ يَقُولُواْ قَدْ أَخَذْنَا أَمْرَنَا مِن قَبْلُ(but if a calamity overtakes you, they say: "We took our precaution beforehand,"), they say, we took precautions when we did not join him, وَيَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُمْ فَرِحُونَ(and they turn away rejoicing.) Allah directed His Prophet to reply to the perfect enmity they have towards him, قُلْ(Say), to them, لَّن يُصِيبَنَآ إِلاَّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا(Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us.) for we are under His control and decree, هُوَ مَوْلَـنَا(He is our Mawla.), Master and protector, وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ(And in Allah let the believers put their trust) 9:51, and we trust in Him. Verily, He is sufficient for us and what an excellent guardian.
