Ali 'Imran 3:24
Family of Imran · Juz 3 · Page 53
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامٗا مَّعۡدُودَٰتٖۖ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِي دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ ٢٤
That is because they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing.

Commentary on 3:24
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿ذَلِكَ بِأنَّهم قالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنا النّارُ إلا أيّامًا مَعْدُوداتٍ﴾ آيَةُ ٢٤
قَدْ تَقَدَّمَ تَفْسِيرُهُ في سُورَةِ البَقَرَةِ. آيَةُ ٨١
[٣٣٤٤] حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، أخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ قالَ: سَمِعْتُ أبِي، ثَنا أبُو سِنانٍ، عَنْ ثابِتِ بْنِ جابانَ، عَنِ الضَّحّاكِ قالَ: يَهْوِي أهْلُ النّارِ في النّارِ أرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ يُقالُ لَهُمْ: بَلَغْتُمُ الأمَدَ وأنْتُمْ في الأبَدِ، وهي الأرْبَعُونَ الَّتِي قالُوا: ﴿لَنْ تَمَسَّنا النّارُ إلا أيّامًا مَعْدُوداتٍ﴾
[٣٣٤٥] حَدَّثَنا أبِي، ثَنا عِيسى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ خالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجاهِدٍ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿لَنْ تَمَسَّنا النّارُ إلا أيّامًا مَعْدُوداتٍ﴾ قالَ: يَعْنُونَ الأيّامَ الَّتِي خُلِقَ فِيهِنَّ آدَمُ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وغَرَّهم في دِينِهِمْ﴾
[٣٣٤٦] حَدَّثَنا أبِي، ثَنا أحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ثَنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ أبِيهِ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿وغَرَّهم في دِينِهِمْ ما كانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ﴾ حِينَ قالُوا: نَحْنُ أبْناءُ اللَّهِ وأحِبّاؤُهُ، قالَ أبُو مُحَمَّدٍ: ورُوِيَ عَنْ قَتادَةَ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ.
والوَجْهُ الثّانِي:
[٣٣٤٧] ذَكَرَهُ الحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبّاحِ، ثَنا حَجّاجٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أخْبَرَنِي خالِدُ بْنُ الحارِثِ، أنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُجاهِدًا يَقُولُ: ﴿وغَرَّهم في دِينِهِمْ ما كانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ﴾ غَرَّهم قَوْلُهُمْ: ﴿لَنْ تَمَسَّنا النّارُ إلا أيّامًا مَعْدُوداتٍ﴾

3:23
أَلَمۡ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ نَصِيبٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَىٰ كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّىٰ فَرِيقٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ وَهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٢٣
Do you not consider, [O Muḥammad], those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They are invited to the Scripture of Allāh that it should arbitrate between them;1 then a party of them turns away, and they are refusing.

3:24
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَالُواْ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامٗا مَّعۡدُودَٰتٖۖ وَغَرَّهُمۡ فِي دِينِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ ٢٤
That is because they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for [a few] numbered days," and [because] they were deluded in their religion by what they were inventing.
3:25
فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جَمَعۡنَٰهُمۡ لِيَوۡمٖ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ وَوُفِّيَتۡ كُلُّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡ وَهُمۡ لَا يُظۡلَمُونَ ٢٥
So how will it be when We assemble them for a Day about which there is no doubt? And each soul will be compensated [in full for] what it earned, and they will not be wronged.
3:26
قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَٰلِكَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ تُؤۡتِي ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلۡمُلۡكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلۡخَيۡرُۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٢٦
Say, "O Allāh, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will and You humble whom You will. In Your hand1 is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

3:27
تُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِۖ وَتُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡحَيَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَيِّتِ وَتُخۡرِجُ ٱلۡمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلۡحَيِّۖ وَتَرۡزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ٢٧
You cause the night to enter the day, and You cause the day to enter the night; and You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give provision to whom You will without account [i.e., limit or measure]."
3:28
لَّا يَتَّخِذِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَۖ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيۡسَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ فِي شَيۡءٍ إِلَّآ أَن تَتَّقُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ تُقَىٰةٗۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسَهُۥۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمَصِيرُ ٢٨
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [i.e., supporters or protectors] rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing [i.e., no association] with Allāh, except when taking precaution against them in prudence.1 And Allāh warns you of Himself, and to Allāh is the [final] destination.

3:29
قُلۡ إِن تُخۡفُواْ مَا فِي صُدُورِكُمۡ أَوۡ تُبۡدُوهُ يَعۡلَمۡهُ ٱللَّهُۗ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٢٩
Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allāh knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And Allāh is over all things competent.
