Commentary
Hasanatun –
(good, pleasure), the word hasanah is a noun from h-s-n;
it means every such thing which pleases the heart. Here it aims “success
against enemies”. Just like this, calamity (musiibat) means “to be
martyred, injured or defeated”.
‘Akhaz-naa – (were
conscious or cautious), it is past tense from the word ‘akhaz. ‘Akhaz means
“to hold fast, to bring into one’s grasp”. Here it aims “to be saved from loss
or damage by prudence”.
Behavior of the Hypocrites
of Madinah is being narrated. They were dwelling in Madinah but
their fellow-feeling sympathies were with the inhabitants of Makkah and
they were envious of observing the elevation of Muslims. Some mention about it
has passed in previous Chapters. They were unable to vitiate their relations
openly with the Muslims. It was the reason that they lived all together
apparently, but secretly they had their loins grit for enmity. They used to
remain always in such intention that “how the Muslims can suffer loss”. Their
common behavior with the Muslims has been described in this verse.
It is commanded that these
people are such always that whenever the Messenger of God Almighty (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Muslims get success and
victory, their faces grow pale and they become very sad. But if any time, the
Muslims are hurt, many of them are martyred or injured, then they celebrate and
say: We had already taken precaution; so that we suffer no injury. We had known
in advance that the Muslims will be defeated. They cannot win. What happened if
by chance, they got victory any time? How long the mother-goat will celebrate?
Finally one day, that will be; which is required to be. They brag similarly, go
to their houses leaving assemblies and try to hide their pleasure but that is
manifest on their faces.
The Hypocrites are as “A wolf in the garb of a lamb” for the
nation. There is no big danger for safety and peace from anything but them. By
sending down the Revelation, Allah Almighty has betrayed their secret;
otherwise, there is none who may say to them any word about it.
