Allah commands: Say, O Muhammad, to those who mock and jest about your religion
from among the People of the Scriptures,
﴿هَلْ تَنقِمُونَ مِنَّآ إِلاَّ أَنْ
ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلُ﴾
(Do you criticize us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and in what
has been sent down to us and in that which has been sent down before (us)) Do you
have any criticism or cause of blame for us, other than this This, by no means,
is cause of blame or criticism. Allah said in other Ayat,
﴿وَمَا نَقَمُواْ مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ
أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ ﴾
(And they had no fault except that they believed in Allah, the Almighty, Worthy
of all praise!) and,
﴿وَمَا نَقَمُواْ إِلاَ أَنْ أَغْنَاهُمُ
اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
(and they could not find any cause to do so except that Allah and His Messenger
had enriched them of His bounty.)﴿9:74﴾ In an agreed upon Hadith, the Prophet said,
«مَا يَنْقِمُ ابْنُ جَمِيلٍ إِلَّا
أَنْ كَانَ فَقِيرًا فَأَغْنَاهُ الله»
(What caused Ibn Jamil to Yanqim (refuse to give Zakah), although he was poor and
Allah made him rich) Allah's statement,
﴿وَأَنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ فَـسِقُونَ﴾
(and that most of you are rebellious. ..) is connected to
﴿أَنْ ءَامَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ
إِلَيْنَا وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلُ﴾
(that we believe in Allah, and in that which has been sent down to us and in that
which has been sent down before (us).) Therefore, the meaning of this part of the
Ayah is: we also believe that most of you are rebellious and deviated from the straight
path.
