Commentary on 3:170
﴿فَرِحِينَ﴾ حالٌ مِنَ الضَمِيرِ في يُرْزَقُونَ ﴿بِما آتاهُمُ اللهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾ وهو التَوْفِيقُ في الشَهادَةِ، وما ساقَ إلَيْهم مِنَ الكَراهَةِ والتَفْضِيلِ عَلى غَيْرِهِمْ مِن كَوْنِهِمْ أحْياءً مُقَرَّبِينَ، مُعَجَّلًا لَهم رِزْقُ الجَنَّةِ ونَعِيمُها، وقالَ النَبِيُّ ﷺ: « "لَمّا أُصِيبَ إخْوانُكم بِأُحُدٍ جَعَلَ اللهُ أرْواحَهم في أجْوافِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ، تَدُورُ في أنْهارٍ (p-٣١١)الجَنَّةِ، وتَأْكُلُ مِن ثِمارِها، وتَأْوِي إلى قَنادِيلَ مِن ذَهَبٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ في ظِلِّ العَرْشِ". » وقِيلَ: هَذا الرِزْقُ في الجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ، وهو ضَعِيفٌ، لِأنَّهُ لا يَبْقى لِلتَّخْصِيصِ فائِدَةٌ ﴿وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ﴾ بِإخْوانِهِمُ المُجاهِدِينَ الَّذِينَ ﴿لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ﴾ لَمْ يُقْتَلُوا فَيَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ ﴿مِن خَلْفِهِمْ﴾ يُرِيدُ الَّذِينَ مِن خَلْفِهِمْ قَدْ بَقُوا مِن بَعْدِهِمْ، وهم قَدْ تَقَدَّمُوهُمْ، أوْ ﴿لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ﴾ يُدْرِكُوا فَضْلَهم ومَنزِلَتَهم ﴿ألا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ﴾ بَدَلٌ مِنَ "الَّذِينَ"، والمَعْنى: ويَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِما تَبَيَّنَ لَهم مِن حالِ مَن تَرَكُوا خَلْفَهم مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ، وهو أنَّهم يُبْعَثُونَ آمِنِينَ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ، بَشَّرَهُمُ اللهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَهم مُسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِهِ، وفي ذِكْرِ حالِ الشُهَداءِ واسْتِبْشارِهِمْ بِمَن خَلْفَهم بَعْثٌ لِلْباقِينَ بَعْدَهم عَلى الجِدِّ في الجِهادِ، والرَغْبَةِ في نَيْلِ مَنازِلِ الشُهَداءِ ﴿وَلا هم يَحْزَنُونَ﴾

3:166
وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ فَبِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٦٦
And what struck you on the day the two armies met [at Uḥud] was by permission of Allāh that He might make evident the [true] believers
3:167
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ ٱلَّذِينَ نَافَقُواْۚ وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ تَعَالَوۡاْ قَٰتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَوِ ٱدۡفَعُواْۖ قَالُواْ لَوۡ نَعۡلَمُ قِتَالٗا لَّٱتَّبَعۡنَٰكُمۡۗ هُمۡ لِلۡكُفۡرِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ أَقۡرَبُ مِنۡهُمۡ لِلۡإِيمَٰنِۚ يَقُولُونَ بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِم مَّا لَيۡسَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَكۡتُمُونَ ١٦٧
And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allāh or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] battle, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -
3:168
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُواْ لِإِخۡوَٰنِهِمۡ وَقَعَدُواْ لَوۡ أَطَاعُونَا مَا قُتِلُواْۗ قُلۡ فَٱدۡرَءُواْ عَنۡ أَنفُسِكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ١٦٨
Those who said about their brothers while sitting [at home], "If they had obeyed us, they would not have been killed." Say, "Then prevent death from yourselves, if you should be truthful."
3:169
وَلَا تَحۡسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ قُتِلُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمۡوَٰتَۢاۚ بَلۡ أَحۡيَآءٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ يُرۡزَقُونَ ١٦٩
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,
3:170
فَرِحِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِٱلَّذِينَ لَمۡ يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِم مِّنۡ خَلۡفِهِمۡ أَلَّا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ ١٧٠
Rejoicing in what Allāh has bestowed upon them of His bounty, and they receive good tidings about those [to be martyred] after them who have not yet joined them - that there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
3:171
۞ يَسۡتَبۡشِرُونَ بِنِعۡمَةٖ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضۡلٖ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ١٧١
They receive good tidings of favor from Allāh and bounty and [of the fact] that Allāh does not allow the reward of believers to be lost -
3:172
ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَآ أَصَابَهُمُ ٱلۡقَرۡحُۚ لِلَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ وَٱتَّقَوۡاْ أَجۡرٌ عَظِيمٌ ١٧٢
Those [believers] who responded to Allāh and the Messenger after injury had struck them. For those who did good among them and feared Allāh is a great reward -
3:173
ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ قَدۡ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَقَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡوَكِيلُ ١٧٣
Those to whom people [i.e., hypocrites] said, "Indeed, the people have gathered against you, so fear them." But it [merely] increased them in faith, and they said, "Sufficient for us is Allāh, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs."1
