Commentary on 3:105
(p-٢٠)ولَمّا أمَرَ بِذَلِكَ أكَّدَهُ بِالنَّهْيِ عَمّا يُضادُّهُ؛ مُعَرِّضًا بِمَن نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآياتُ فِيهِمْ؛ مِن أهْلِ الكِتابِ؛ مُبَكِّتًا لَهم بِضَلالِهِمْ؛ واخْتِلافِهِمْ في دِينِهِمْ عَلى أنْبِيائِهِمْ؛ فَقالَ: ﴿ولا تَكُونُوا كالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا﴾؛ بِما ابْتَدَعُوهُ في أُصُولِ دِينِهِمْ؛ وبِما ارْتَكَبُوهُ مِنَ المَعاصِي؛ فَقادَهم ذَلِكَ - ولا بُدَّ - إلى التَّخاذُلِ؛ والتَّواكُلِ؛ والمُداهَنَةِ الَّتِي قَصَدُوا بِها المُسالَمَةَ؛ فَجَرَّتْهم إلى المُصارَمَةِ؛ ولَمّا كانَ التَّفَرُّقُ رُبَّما كانَ بِالأبْدانِ فَقَطْ؛ مَعَ الِاتِّفاقِ في الآراءِ؛ بَيَّنَ أنَّ الأمْرَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ؛ فَقالَ: ﴿واخْتَلَفُوا﴾؛ بِما أثْمَرَ لَهُمُ الحِقْدُ الحامِلُ عَلى الِاتِّصافِ بِحالَةِ مَن يَظُنُّ أنَّهم جَمِيعٌ وقُلُوبُهم شَتّى.
ولَمّا ذَمَّهم بِالِاخْتِلافِ الَّذِي دَلَّ العَقْلُ عَلى ذَمِّهِ؛ زادَ في تَقْبِيحِهِ بِأنَّهم خالَفُوا فِيهِ - بَعْدَ نَهْيِ العَقْلِ - واضِحَ النَّقْلِ؛ فَقالَ: ”مِن“؛ أيْ: وابْتَدَأ اخْتِلافُهم مِنَ الزَّمانِ الَّذِي هو ﴿مِن بَعْدِ ما جاءَهُمُ﴾؛ وعَظَّمَهُ بِإعْرائِهِ عَنِ التَّأْنِيثِ؛ ﴿البَيِّناتُ﴾؛ أيْ: بِما يَجْمَعُهُمْ؛ ويُعْلِيهِمْ؛ ويَرْفَعُهُمْ؛ ويُوجِبُ اتِّفاقَهُمْ؛ ويَنْفَعُهُمْ؛ فَأرْداهم ذَلِكَ الِافْتِراقُ؛ وأهْلَكَهم.
ولَمّا كانَ التَّقْدِيرُ: ”فَأُولَئِكَ قَدْ تَعَجَّلُوا الهَلاكَ في الدُّنْيا؛ فَهُمُ الخائِبُونَ“؛ (p-٢١)عَطَفَ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ: ﴿وأُولَئِكَ﴾؛ أيْ: البُعَداءُ البُغَضاءُ؛ ﴿لَهم عَذابٌ عَظِيمٌ﴾؛ أيْ: في الدّارِ الآخِرَةِ؛ بَعْدَ عَذابِ الدُّنْيا؛ بِاخْتِلافِهِمْ؛ مُنابِذِينَ لِما مِن شَأْنِهِ الجَمْعُ؛ والآيَةُ مِنَ الِاحْتِباكِ: إثْباتُ ”المُفْلِحُونَ“؛ أوَّلًا؛ يَدُلُّ عَلى ”الخاسِرُونَ“؛ ثانِيًا؛ والعَذابُ العَظِيمُ؛ ثانِيًا؛ يَدُلُّ عَلى النَّعِيمِ المُقِيمِ؛ أوَّلًا.

3:101
وَكَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ وَأَنتُمۡ تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ وَفِيكُمۡ رَسُولُهُۥۗ وَمَن يَعۡتَصِم بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ هُدِيَ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ١٠١
And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of Allāh and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allāh1 has [indeed] been guided to a straight path.

3:102
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِۦ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسۡلِمُونَ ١٠٢
O you who have believed, fear Allāh as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
3:103
وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعٗا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِذۡ كُنتُمۡ أَعۡدَآءٗ فَأَلَّفَ بَيۡنَ قُلُوبِكُمۡ فَأَصۡبَحۡتُم بِنِعۡمَتِهِۦٓ إِخۡوَٰنٗا وَكُنتُمۡ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفۡرَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلنَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنۡهَاۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٠٣
And hold firmly to the rope1 of Allāh all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allāh upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allāh make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.

3:104
وَلۡتَكُن مِّنكُمۡ أُمَّةٞ يَدۡعُونَ إِلَى ٱلۡخَيۡرِ وَيَأۡمُرُونَ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَيَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنِ ٱلۡمُنكَرِۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠٤
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong,1 and those will be the successful.

3:105
وَلَا تَكُونُواْ كَٱلَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُواْ وَٱخۡتَلَفُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُۚ وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٞ ١٠٥
And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment
3:106
يَوۡمَ تَبۡيَضُّ وُجُوهٞ وَتَسۡوَدُّ وُجُوهٞۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡوَدَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ أَكَفَرۡتُم بَعۡدَ إِيمَٰنِكُمۡ فَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ ١٠٦
On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve [i.e., reject faith] after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject."
3:107
وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱبۡيَضَّتۡ وُجُوهُهُمۡ فَفِي رَحۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِۖ هُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ١٠٧
But as for those whose faces turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allāh. They will abide therein eternally.
3:108
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱللَّهِ نَتۡلُوهَا عَلَيۡكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ يُرِيدُ ظُلۡمٗا لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٨
These are the verses of Allāh. We recite them to you, [O Muḥammad], in truth; and Allāh wants no injustice to the worlds [i.e., His creatures].
