لَّا خَيْرَ فِى كَثِيرٍ مِّن نَّجْوَىٰهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَبِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَٰحٍۭ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ ٱبْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا (114)

114. There
is no good in much of their secret counsels save (in) him who enjoineth
almsgiving and kindness and peace-making among the people. And whoso doeth
that, seeking the good Pleasure of Allah, We shall bestow on him a vast
reward.

Commentary
Naj-waa – (secretly
consultation), it aims secret counsels and whispering. It has been disliked and
prevented in the Holy Qur’an that
some persons begin whispering with one another, while they are attending any
multitude or congregation.
‘Is-laahun –
(peace-making), to make peace among the two persons, who are quarreling with
each other, it is from sulah,
which means friendship, combination, agreement. It aims ‘to remove mutual
wrangling’.
It was habit of some people
that they used to say the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him) something in a low, hissing sound in the
meeting (multitude). Their intention was that the people should consider them
frank and close friends of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon Him) and respect them. In this verse, they have been exposed to view and
the people have been educated about human nature in the best manner. If they
act upon this advice then mutual suspicion, bad thoughts and doubts can never
be born. The Commands of Holy Qur’an
are Rules and Regulations of the highest grades for mutual friendship and good
treatment. Those people will remain surely in superior positions in the world,
who will abide by these instructions.
It has been described in this
verse that the people who associate secretly
and whisper in the meetings should not consider that they are saying something
good. There is no goodness in this type of conversation. This method of chit
chat has a defect in itself that due to conspiring between some persons only,
while nobody else is permitted to participate in this speech of a low tone and
other people are sitting around, will produce suspicion in their hearts.
Particularly in the multitude, if one comes and talks in a low, hissing sound
with someone sitting in the meeting, that other members of the multitude may take
it that he is hiding something from them, then surely their thought will go
worse from his side. And usually it will be considered that certainly he is
talking against them. Therefore, such secret counsels are hurtful. There are
only three forms when such type of whispering is suitable:
1.
If you want to give something to any needy, then
it is better to be quiet instead of saying someone else, so that the needy
might not be blushing and disgraced.
2.
If you wish to guide towards the goodness or tell
any person about any particular matter, it is also better to speak with him in
a low tone, so that he would not be ashamed before the people.
3.
Making peace among the two quarrelsome persons.
If this method is adopted to please Allah Almighty and to get His Willingness,
then He Commands, “We shall bestow on him a vast reward”.
