Commentary
In the collective development
of the nation, the Hypocrites interrupt as much that it is not committed by any
other. Apparently these people show that they are with you (the community),
also they remain ahead than others in acknowledging one’s superiority without
understanding. But their hearts hate the collective activities. Resultantly,
when any important occasion of congregational work comes, at that time; they
desire to keep aloof from supporting the community by making lame excuses and
evade in such a way, which cannot be given any importance by a sincere person.
They neither wish to provide
any financial aid for public welfare works and nor bear any physical trouble,
although they reap advantages of various sorts by the means of community, but
keep conspiracy with external enemies against it. And often they persuade them
that “Attack on our country, we shall help you (the enemies) and leaving the
people of own country, we shall join you openly”.
Nowadays too, nearly every
country is facing such people. And in the beginning of Islam, the Muslims had
to bear many troubles and hardships due to this kind of people. However,
because national and congregational balance was weighty, due to which; they
were defeated; otherwise they had left no stone unturned from their side to
ruin the Muslims. It has been explained in this verse that, what they did at
the time of preparation for the Battle of Tabuuk.
It is commanded that their
hearts were never with the Muslims. At such occasion, when it was demanded that
they should sacrifice their lives and wealth (both) for supporting the nation
and go forth, then their spirits were left and by making excuses, they came
unto the Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) for
taking permission to stay at home.
Messenger of Allah
Almighty (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) permitted
them considering that they were speaking the truth. Then they were very happy
and began to say the people: Who have told you to travel in the deserts and
forests during such hot weather?
Consider thoughtfully for a while,
the entire nation is trying collectively to save their honor and name, and
these people are thinking about hot and cold. Such people are selfish who
prevent the nation from going forth, only for their temporary comfort and ease.
