Commentary on 4:148
قَوْله - تَعَالَى -: ﴿لَا يحب الله الْجَهْر بالسوء من القَوْل إِلَّا من ظلم﴾ قَالَ ابْن عَبَّاس: مَعْنَاهُ: إِلَّا من ظلم، فَيجوز لَهُ أَن يجْهر بالسوء بالإخبار عَن ظلم الظَّالِم، وَالدُّعَاء عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ الْحسن: دعاؤه عَلَيْهِ: أَن يَقُول: اللَّهُمَّ اعني عَلَيْهِ، اللَّهُمَّ استخرج حَقي مِنْهُ.
وَقيل: يجوز لَهُ أَن يشْتم، وَلَكِن بِمثل مَا شتم، لَا يزِيد عَلَيْهِ، بِمَا لم يكن قذفا، وَقد ورد فِي الحَدِيث: " السبتان بالسبة رَبًّا " قَالَ مُجَاهِد: هُوَ فِي الضَّيْف يَأْتِي قوما، فَلم يقروه، وَلم يحسنوا ضيافته، يجوز لَهُ أَن يجْهر بالسوء لَهُم.
وَيقْرَأ: " إِلَّا من ظلم " بِفَتْح الظَّاء وَاللَّام.
قَالَ الزّجاج: مَعْنَاهُ: إِلَّا من ظلم، فأجهر قَوْله بالسوء، وَقيل: هُوَ رَاجع إِلَى الْآيَة الْمُتَقَدّمَة، وَتَقْدِيره: مَا يفعل الله بعذابكم إِن شكرتم وآمنتم إِلَّا من ظلم وَقيل: هُوَ اسْتثِْنَاء مُنْقَطع، يعْنى: لَا يحب الله الْجَهْر بالسوء من القَوْل، لَكِن يجْهر بالسوء من ظلم ﴿وَكَانَ الله سميعا عليما﴾ سميعا لأقوالكم: عليما بنياتكم.

۞ لَّا يُحِبُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡجَهۡرَ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ مِنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ إِلَّا مَن ظُلِمَۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ سَمِيعًا عَلِيمًا ١٤٨
Allāh does not like the public mention of evil except by one who has been wronged. And ever is Allāh Hearing and Knowing.
4:149
إِن تُبۡدُواْ خَيۡرًا أَوۡ تُخۡفُوهُ أَوۡ تَعۡفُواْ عَن سُوٓءٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوّٗا قَدِيرًا ١٤٩
If [instead] you show [some] good or conceal it or pardon an offense - indeed, Allāh is ever Pardoning and Competent.1

- Allāh is always able to exact retribution, although He pardons out of His grace. ↩
4:150
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيۡنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَيَقُولُونَ نُؤۡمِنُ بِبَعۡضٖ وَنَكۡفُرُ بِبَعۡضٖ وَيُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَّخِذُواْ بَيۡنَ ذَٰلِكَ سَبِيلًا ١٥٠
Indeed, those who disbelieve in Allāh and His messengers and wish to discriminate between Allāh and His messengers and say, "We believe in some and disbelieve in others," and wish to adopt a way in between -
4:151
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ حَقّٗاۚ وَأَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٗا مُّهِينٗا ١٥١
Those are the disbelievers, truly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
4:152
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ وَلَمۡ يُفَرِّقُواْ بَيۡنَ أَحَدٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ سَوۡفَ يُؤۡتِيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورٗا رَّحِيمٗا ١٥٢
But they who believe in Allāh and His messengers and do not discriminate between any of them - to those He is going to give their rewards. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.
4:153
يَسۡـَٔلُكَ أَهۡلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ أَن تُنَزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ كِتَٰبٗا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ فَقَدۡ سَأَلُواْ مُوسَىٰٓ أَكۡبَرَ مِن ذَٰلِكَ فَقَالُوٓاْ أَرِنَا ٱللَّهَ جَهۡرَةٗ فَأَخَذَتۡهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ بِظُلۡمِهِمۡۚ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذُواْ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ فَعَفَوۡنَا عَن ذَٰلِكَۚ وَءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ سُلۡطَٰنٗا مُّبِينٗا ١٥٣
The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allāh outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.
4:154
وَرَفَعۡنَا فَوۡقَهُمُ ٱلطُّورَ بِمِيثَٰقِهِمۡ وَقُلۡنَا لَهُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡبَابَ سُجَّدٗا وَقُلۡنَا لَهُمۡ لَا تَعۡدُواْ فِي ٱلسَّبۡتِ وَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُم مِّيثَٰقًا غَلِيظٗا ١٥٤
And We raised over them the mount for [refusal of] their covenant; and We said to them, "Enter the gate bowing humbly"; and We said to them, "Do not transgress on the sabbath"; and We took from them a solemn covenant.
