وَمِنْهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ
يُؤْذُونَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ
وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ
أُذُنٌ ۚ قُلْ أُذُنُ
خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ
وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ ۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ
يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ
لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
And among them
are men who annoy
the Prophet and
say: “He is (lending
his) ear (to every
news).” Say: “He
listens to what is
best for you; he
believes in Allah;
has faith in the
believers; and is
a mercy to those
of you who believe.”
But those who annoy
Allah’s Messenger,
will have a painful
torment.
Hypocrites annoy the Prophet
Allah says, some hypocrites bother the Messenger of Allah by questioning his character, saying,
هُوَ أُذُنٌ
he is (lending his) ear
to those who say anything about us; he believes whoever talks to him. Therefore, if we went to him and swore, he would believe us. Similar was reported from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah. Allah said,
قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ
Say: “He listens to what is best for you”
he knows who’s saying the truth and who is lying,
يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ
وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers
he believes the believers,
وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ
ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ
and is a mercy to those of you who believe”
and a proof against the disbelievers,
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ
رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ
عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
But those who annoy Allah’s Messenger, will have a painful torment
