Allah says, do not these hypocrites see,
[أَنَّهُمْ
يُفْتَنُونَ]
(that they are put in trial), being tested,
[فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ
مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لاَ يَتُوبُونَ وَلاَ هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ]
(once or twice every year Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn
a lesson.) They neither repent from their previous sins nor learn a lesson for
the future. Mujahid said that hypocrites are tested with drought and hunger.
Allah said;
[وَإِذَا مَآ
أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَاكُمْ مِّنْ أَحَدٍ
ثُمَّ انصَرَفُواْ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُون
]
(And whenever there comes down a Surah, they look at one another (saying):
"Does any one see you'' Then they turn away. Allah has turned their hearts
because they are a people that understand not.) This describes the hypocrites
that when a Surah is revealed to the Messenger of Allah ,
[نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ
إِلَى بَعْضٍ]
(they look at one another), they turn their heads, right and left, saying,
[هَلْ يَرَاكُمْ
مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفُواْ]
("Does any one see you'' Then they turn away. ..) turning away from, and
shunning the truth. This is the description of hypocrites in this life, for they
do not remain where the truth is being declared, neither accepting nor
understanding it, just as Allah said in other Ayat,
[فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ
التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ - كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ - فَرَّتْ مِن
قَسْوَرَةٍ ]
(Then what is wrong with them that they turn away from admonition As if they
were wild donkeys. Fleeing from a lion.)[74:49-51], and,
[فَمَالِ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ قِبَلَكَ مُهْطِعِينَ - عَنِ الْيَمِينِ وَعَنِ الشِّمَالِ عِزِينَ
]
(So what is the matter with those who disbelieve that they hasten to hear
from you. (Sitting) in groups on the right and on the left.)[70:36-37]. This
Ayah also means, what is the matter with these people who turn away from you to
the right and to the left, to escape from truth and revert to falsehood Allah's
statement,
[ثُمَّ انصَرَفُواْ
صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم]
(Then they turn away. Allah has turned their hearts (from Truth)) is similar
to,
[فَلَمَّا زَاغُواْ
أَزَاغَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ]
(So when they turned away, Allah turned their hearts away.) [61:5]. Allah
said next,
[بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ
لاَّ يَفْقَهُونَ]
(because they are a people that understand not. ) They neither understand
Allah's Word nor attempt to comprehend it nor want it. Rather, they are too
busy, turning away from it. This is why they ended up in this condition.
[لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ
رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ
بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ ]
[فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ
فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ اللَّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ
الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ ]
(128. Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves. It
grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He is eager for
you; for the believers [he is] full of pity, kind, and merciful.) (129. But if
they turn away, say: "Allah is sufficient for me. There is no God but He, in Him
I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne.'')
«بُعِثْتُ
بِالْحَنِيفِيَّةِ السَّمْحَة»
(I was sent with the easy Hanifiyah [monotheism] way.) An authenic Hadith
mentions,
«إِنَّ هَذَا
الدِّينَ يُسْر»
(Verily, this religion is easy) and its Law is all easy, lenient and perfect.
It is easy for those whom Allah the Exalted makes it easy.)
[حَرِيصٌ
عَلَيْكُمْ]
(He is eager for you), that you gain guidance and acquire benefits in this
life and the Hereafter. Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that
the Messenger of Allah said,
«إِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ
يُحَرِّمْ حُرْمَةً إِلَّا وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ سَيَطَّلِعُهَا مِنْكُمْ
مُطَّلِعٌ، أَلَا وَإِنِّي آخِذٌ بِحُجَزِكُمْ أَنْ تَهَافَتُوا فِي النَّارِ
كَتَهَافُتِ الْفَرَاشِ أَوِ الذُّبَاب»
(Verily, every matter that Allah has prohibited, He knows that some among you
will breach it; but I am indeed holding you by the waist so that you do not fall
in the Fire, just like butterflies and flies.) Allah's statement next,
[بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ
رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ]
(for the believers (he is) full of pity, kind, and merciful.) [9:128], is
similar to His other statement,
[وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ
لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىءٌ
مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ - وَتَوكَّلْ عَلَى الْعَزِيزِ الرَّحِيمِ ]
(And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you. Then if they disobey
you, say: "I am innocent of what you do.'' And put your trust in the All-Mighty,
the Most Merciful) [26:215-217]. Allah the Exalted commanded His Messenger in
this honorable Ayah,
[فَإِن
تَوَلَّوْاْ]
(But if they turn away), from the glorious, pure, perfect and encompassing
Law that you -- O Muhammad -- brought them,
[فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ
اللَّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ]
(then say: "Allah is sufficient for me. There is no God but He,) Allah is
sufficient for me, there is no deity worthy of worship except Him, and in Him I
put my trust. Similarly, Allah said,
[رَّبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ
وَالْمَغْرِبِ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلاً ]
((He alone is) the Lord of the east and the west; there is no God but He. So
take Him alone as a guardian.) [73:9]. Allah said next,
[وَهُوَ رَبُّ
الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ]
(and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne) [9:129]. He is the King and Creator
of all things, and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne (`Arsh), which is above
all creation; all that is in and between the heavens and earths is under the
Throne (`Arsh) and subservient to Allah's power. His knowledge encompasses all
things, and His decision will certainly come to pass over all matters. He is the
guardian of all things. Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that Ubayy bin
Ka`b said, "The last Ayah revealed from the Qur'an was this Ayah,
[لَقَدْ جَآءَكُمْ
رَسُولٌ مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ]
(Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from among yourselves ...)
[9:128]'' until the end of the Surah It is recorded in the Sahih that Zayd bin
Thabit said, "I found the last Ayah in Surah Bara'ah with Khuzaymah bin
Thabit.'' This is the end of Surah Bara'ah, all praise is due to Allah.
