Commentary on 2:14
(p-١١٤)ولَمّا بَيَّنَ نِفاقَهم وعِلَّتَهُ وسِيرَتَهم عِنْدَ دُعاءِ الدّاعِي إلى الحَقِّ بِهَذِهِ الآياتِ بَيَّنَ سِيرَتَهم في أقْوالِهِمْ في خِداعِهِمْ دَلِيلًا عَلى إفْسادِهِمْ بِقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وإذا لَقُوا﴾ واللِّقاءُ اجْتِماعٌ بِإقْبالٍ ﴿الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا﴾ أيْ حَقًّا ظاهِرًا وباطِنًا، ولَكِنَّ إيمانَهم كَما قالَ الحَرالِّيُّ فِعْلٌ مِن أفْعالِهِمْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ إلى أنْ يَصِيرَ صِفَةً لَهم، وأمّا المُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ صارَ إيمانُهم صِفَةً لَهم فَلا يَكادُونَ يَلْقَوْنَهم بِمُقْتَضاهُ، لِأنَّهم لا يَجِدُونَ مَعَهم مَدْخَلًا في قَوْلٍ ولا مُؤانَسَةٍ، لِأنَّ اللِّقاءَ لا بُدَّ فِيهِ مِن إقْبالٍ ما مِنَ المُلْتَقِيَيْنِ. انْتَهى.
﴿قالُوا﴾ خِداعًا ﴿آمَنّا﴾ مُعَبِّرِينَ بِالجُمْلَةِ الفِعْلِيَّةِ الماضِيَةِ الَّتِي يَكْفِي في إفادَتِها لِما سِيقَتْ لَهُ أدْنى الحُدُوثِ.
(p-١١٥)﴿وإذا خَلَوْا﴾ مُنْتَهِينَ ﴿إلى شَياطِينِهِمْ﴾ أيِ الَّذِينَ هم رُؤُوسُهم مِن غَيْرِ أنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهم مُؤْمِنٌ، والشَّيْطانُ هو الشَّدِيدُ البُعْدِ عَنْ مَحَلِّ الخَيْرِ، قالَهُ الحَرالِّيُّ،
﴿قالُوا إنّا مَعَكُمْ﴾ مُعَبِّرِينَ بِالِاسْمِيَةِ الدّالَّةِ عَلى الثَّباتِ مُؤَكِّدِينَ لَها دَلالَةً عَلى نَشاطِهِمْ لِهَذا الإخْبارِ لِمَزِيدِ حُبِّهِمْ لِما أفادَهُ ودَفْعًا لِما قَدْ يَتَوَهَّمُ مِن تَبَدُّلِهِمْ مَن رَأى نِفاقَهم لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْنَفُوا في مَوْضِعِ الجَوابِ لِمَن قالَ: ما بالُكم تُلِينُونَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَوْلَهم ؟ ﴿إنَّما نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ﴾ أيْ طالِبُونَ لِلْهُزْءِ ثابِتُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِيما نُظْهِرُ مِنَ الإيمانِ، والهُزْءُ إظْهارُ الجِدِّ وإخْفاءُ الهَزْلِ فِيهِ قالَهُ الحَرالِّيُّ.

2:6
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَأَنذَرۡتَهُمۡ أَمۡ لَمۡ تُنذِرۡهُمۡ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٦
Indeed, those who disbelieve1 - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

2:7
خَتَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمۡ وَعَلَىٰ سَمۡعِهِمۡۖ وَعَلَىٰٓ أَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ غِشَٰوَةٞۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ٧
Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil.1 And for them is a great punishment.
1 translator’s note
- A covering preventing them from discerning guidance. This condition is a direct result of their arrogance and persistence in sin. ↩
2:8
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَقُولُ ءَامَنَّا بِٱللَّهِ وَبِٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَمَا هُم بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٨
And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allāh and the Last Day," but they are not believers.
2:9
يُخَٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَمَا يَخۡدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٩
They [think to] deceive Allāh and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not.
2:10
فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٞ فَزَادَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مَرَضٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمُۢ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ ١٠
In their hearts is disease, so Allāh has increased their disease;1 and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.
1 translator’s note
- The "disease" mentioned here includes doubt, hypocrisy, arrogance and disbelief. ↩
2:11
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ لَا تُفۡسِدُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُصۡلِحُونَ ١١
And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers."
2:12
أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدُونَ وَلَٰكِن لَّا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٢
Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not.
2:13
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمۡ ءَامِنُواْ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلنَّاسُ قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ كَمَآ ءَامَنَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُۗ أَلَآ إِنَّهُمۡ هُمُ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ وَلَٰكِن لَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٣
And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not.
2:14
وَإِذَا لَقُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ شَيَٰطِينِهِمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا مَعَكُمۡ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ مُسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ١٤
And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers."
2:15
ٱللَّهُ يَسۡتَهۡزِئُ بِهِمۡ وَيَمُدُّهُمۡ فِي طُغۡيَٰنِهِمۡ يَعۡمَهُونَ ١٥
[But] Allāh mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly.
2:16
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشۡتَرَوُاْ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ فَمَا رَبِحَت تِّجَٰرَتُهُمۡ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُهۡتَدِينَ ١٦
Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided.
