Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:88

Word by word

لَـٰكِنِ ٱلرَّسُولُ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ جَـٰهَدُوا۟ بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْ وَأَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخَيْرَٰتُ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

But the Messenger and those who believed with him fought with their wealth and their lives. Those will have [all that is] good and it is those who are the successful.

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

After Allah mentioned the sins of the hypocrites, He praised the faithful believers and described their reward in the Hereafter,لَـكِنِ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُ جَـهَدُواْ(But the Messenger and those who believed with him strove hard and fought) until the end of these two Ayat 9:88-89. This describes the qualities, as well as, the reward of faithful believers. Allah said, وَأُوْلَـئِكَ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَاتُ(Such are they for whom are the good things), in the Hereafter, in the gardens of Al-Firdaws and the high grades.

Ma'arif al-Qur'an

Mufti Muhammad Shafi

The expression: اُولُوا الطَّولِ (ulu 'at-caul: translated as ` the capable ones' ) (86) is not for particularization. Instead, it serves a purpose. It tells that there were others too, the ones not so capable. And the incapable ones had, at least, some obvious excuse to stay behind.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

إنْ تخلَّف هؤلاء المنافقون عن الغزو، فقد جاهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والمؤمنون معه بأموالهم وأنفسهم، وأولئك لهم النصر والغنيمة في الدنيا، والجنة والكرامة في الآخرة، وأولئك هم الفائزون.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

لما ذكر تعالى ذم المنافقين ، بين ثناء المؤمنين ، وما لهم في آخرتهم ، فقال : ( لكن الرسول والذين آمنوا معه جاهدوا ) إلى آخر الآيتين من بيان حالهم ومآلهم .وقوله : ( وأولئك لهم الخيرات ) أي : في الدار الآخرة ، في جنات الفردوس والدرجات العلى .
