Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:85

Word by word

وَلَا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ وَأَوْلَـٰدُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُعَذِّبَهُم بِهَا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَتَزْهَقَ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَـٰفِرُونَ

And let not their wealth and their children impress you. Allāh only intends to punish them through them in this world and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فلا تعجبك أموالهم ولا أولادهم " كما قال تعالى " ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا لنفتنهم فيه ورزق ربك خير وأبقى " وقال " أيحسبون أن ما نمدهم به من مال وبنين نسارع لهم في الخيرات بل لا يشعرون " وقوله " إنما يريد الله ليعذبهم بها في الحياة الدنيا " قال الحسن البصري بزكاتها والنفقة منها في سبيل الله وقال قتادة هذا من المقدم والمؤخر تقديره: فلا تعجبك أموالهم ولا أولادهم في الحياة الدنيا إنما يريد الله ليعذبهم بها في الآخرة.واختار ابن جرير قول الحسن وهو القول القوي الحسن.وقوله " وتزهق أنفسهم وهم كافرون " أي ويريد أن يميتهم حين يميتهم على الكفر ليكون ذلك أنكى لهم وأشد لعذابهم.عياذا بالله من ذلك وهذا يكون من باب الاستدراج لهم فيما هم فيه.
