Ali 'Imran 3:173
Family of Imran · Juz 4 · Page 72
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

Commentary on 3:173
ولَمّا كانَ قَوْلُ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ؛ أوْ رَكْبُ عَبْدِ القَيْسِ عِنْدَ الصَّحابَةِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهم - صِدْقًا؛ لا شَكَّ فِيهِ؛ لِما قامَ عِنْدَهم مِنَ القَرائِنِ؛ فَكانَ بِمَنزِلَةِ المُتَواتِرِ الَّذِي تَمالَأ عَلَيْهِ الخَلائِقُ؛ وكانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أعْلى النّاسِ شَجاعَةً؛ وأوْفاهم قُوَّةً؛ وأعْرَقَهم أصالَةً؛ فَكانُوا كَأنَّهم جَمِيعُ النّاسِ؛ كانَ التَّعْبِيرُ - بِصِيغَةِ العُمُومِ؛ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿الَّذِينَ قالَ لَهُمُ النّاسُ﴾؛ أيْ: نُعَيْمٌ؛ أوْ رَكْبُ عَبْدِ القَيْسِ؛ ﴿إنَّ النّاسَ﴾؛ يَعْنِي قُرَيْشًا؛ ﴿قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكم فاخْشَوْهُمْ﴾ - أمْدَحَ لِلصَّحابَةِ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهم - مِنَ التَّعْبِيرِ عَمَّنْ أخْبَرَهُمْ؛ ومَن جَمَعَ لَهُمْ؛ بِخاصِّ اسْمِهِ؛ أوْ وصْفِهِ. (p-١٣٠)ولَمّا كانَ المُوجِبُ لِإقْدامِهِمْ عَلى اللِّقاءِ بَعْدَ هَذا القَوْلِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَشُكُّوا في صِدْقِهِ؛ ثَباتَ الإيمانِ وقُوَّةَ الإيقانِ؛ قالَ (تَعالى): ﴿فَزادَهُمْ﴾؛ أيْ: هَذا القَوْلُ؛ ﴿إيمانًا﴾؛ لِأنَّهُ ما ثَناهم عَنْ طاعَةِ اللَّهِ؛ ورَسُولِهِ؛ ﴿وقالُوا﴾؛ ازْدِراءً بِالخَلائِقِ؛ اعْتِمادًا عَلى الخالِقِ؛ ﴿حَسْبُنا﴾؛ أيْ: كافِينا؛ ﴿اللَّهُ﴾؛ أيْ: المَلِكُ الأعْلى؛ في القِيامِ بِمَصالِحِنا؛ ولَمّا كانَ ذَلِكَ هو شَأْنَ الوَكِيلِ؛ وكانَ في الوُكَلاءِ مَن يُذَمُّ؛ قالَ: ﴿ونِعْمَ الوَكِيلُ﴾؛ أيْ: المَوْكُولُ إلَيْهِ؛ المُفَوَّضُ إلَيْهِ جَمِيعُ الأُمُورِ؛ رَوى البُخارِيُّ في التَّفْسِيرِ؛ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبّاسٍ - رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُما - قالَ: ”هَذِهِ الكَلِمَةُ قالَها إبْراهِيمُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ - حِينَ أُلْقِيَ في النّارِ؛ وقالَها مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حِينَ قالُوا: إنَّ النّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ“؛ وقالَ: ”كانَ آخِرُ كَلِمَةٍ قالَها إبْراهِيمُ - عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ - حِينَ أُلْقِيَ في النّارِ:“حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ ونِعْمَ الوَكِيلُ"؛

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
