Commentary
‘Ad-dawaaabbi – (the
beasts, livestock), this word is plural of daaabbah which is a
tense of feminine subject. Dabb means “to be able to move from
own location”. It aims “those beasts which can move at their own”.
Yanqu-zuuna – (they
break), origin of this word is naqaza. Naqaza means “to break, to
do or go against anyone”. The words “naqiiz, manaaqzah and tanaaqaz
etc. are from the same origin”. Every word has the same meaning “breaking,
being against or opposing”.
Holy Qur’an desires
to teach us that the human being should not consider himself totally
free/independent. He should have belief in his heart that he is obedient and
servant of the most Potent and Powerful Lord, God Almighty, Who has created him
and all those things which have been scattering around him. And everything has
been running according to His prescribed laws.
Out of creatures, the human
beings are seen most arrogant and rebellious. Some of them are those; who do
not accept that law; which He has prescribed for the humankind; and want to
choose their own way. In this verse, attention of these people (who are present
now) is being drawn towards the circumstances of those people; who have had
contact with Islam and the Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him) during His times.
It is commanded that the worst
people on the earth are those; who do not believe in Allah (God) Almighty and
deny His Revelations, and there is no hope that they will believe in future.
Obviously, those people; who do not believe in God Almighty; they cannot be
faithful to their covenant. Moreover, whenever they get opportunity, break
their treaty. These are the people who are the worst in entire creatures of God
Almighty.
As before, there were a people of
Pharaoh (the circumstances of which have been described in Surah
‘A’-raaf), when they got into any trouble, made a treaty of good
disposition with Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him). When the distress was
removed they broke their treaty.
In the days of God’s last Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon Him), the Jews of the tribe of Banu Quraizah were
like them (as the folk of Pharaoh). They used to make a treaty with the
Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) for their safety;
that they would not help the idolaters of Makkah. But during war, they
used to become their partial, and after war, they used to say to the Messenger
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): We could not remember. Now
again; we make a treaty of being not supporters of them. But when again, there
was any opportunity, they broke their treaty. Next to it, it has been
explained: In what manner should they be dealt with?
