Commentary on 58:5–7
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿إنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحادُّونَ اللَّهَ ورَسُولَهُ﴾ قَدْ ذَكَرْنا مَعْنى المُحادَّةِ في [التَّوْبَةِ: ٦٣] ومَعْنى ﴿كُبِتُوا﴾ في "آلِ عِمْرانَ" عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿أوْ يَكْبِتَهُمْ﴾ [آيَةُ: ١٢٧] . وقالَ ابْنُ عَبّاسٍ: أخْزُوا يَوْمَ الخَنْدَقِ بِالهَزِيمَةِ كَما أُخْزِيَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ مِمَّنْ قاتَلَ الرُّسُلَ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا﴾ أيْ: مِن قُبُورِهِمْ ﴿فَيُنَبِّئُهم بِما عَمِلُوا﴾ مِن مَعاصِيهِ، وتَضْيِيعِ فَرائِضِهِ "أحْصاهُ اللَّهُ" أيْ: حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ "وَنَسُوهُ واللَّهُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ" مِن أعْمالِهِمْ في السِّرِّ والعَلانِيَةِ "شَهِيدٌ" ﴿ألَمْ تَرَ﴾ أيْ: ألَمْ تَعْلَمْ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿ما يَكُونُ مِن نَجْوى ثَلاثَةٍ﴾ وقَرَأ أبُو جَعْفَرٍ "ما تَكُونُ" بِالتّاءِ. قالَ ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ: النَّجْوى: السِّرارُ. وقالَ الزَّجّاجُ: ما يَكُونُ مِن خَلْوَةِ (p-١٨٨)ثَلاثَةٍ يُسِرُّونَ شَيْئًا، ويَتَناجَوْنَ بِهِ "إلّا هو رابِعُهُمْ" أيْ: عالِمٌ بِهِ. "وَنَجْوى" مُشْتَقٌّ مِنَ النَّجْوَةِ، وهو ما ارْتَفَعَ. وقَرَأ يَعْقُوبُ "وَلا أكْثَرُ" بِالرَّفْعِ. وقالَ الضَّحّاكُ: ﴿إلا هو مَعَهُمْ﴾ أيْ: عِلْمُهُ مَعَهم.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
58:1
قَدۡ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّتِي تُجَٰدِلُكَ فِي زَوۡجِهَا وَتَشۡتَكِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ يَسۡمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ١
Certainly has Allāh heard the speech of the one who argues [i.e., pleads] with you, [O Muḥammad], concerning her husband and directs her complaint to Allāh. And Allāh hears your dialogue; indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Seeing.
58:2
ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَٰتِهِمۡۖ إِنۡ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمۡ إِلَّا ٱلَّٰٓـِٔي وَلَدۡنَهُمۡۚ وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ وَزُورٗاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٞ ٢
Those who pronounce ẓihār1 among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allāh is Pardoning and Forgiving.
1 translator’s note
- The saying by a husband to his wife, "You are to me like the back of my mother," meaning unlawful to approach. This was a type of divorce practiced by the Arabs before the prophethood of Muḥammad (ﷺ). ↩
58:3
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُظَٰهِرُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمۡ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُواْ فَتَحۡرِيرُ رَقَبَةٖ مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّاۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ ٣
And those who pronounce ẓihār from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allāh is Aware of what you do.
58:4
فَمَن لَّمۡ يَجِدۡ فَصِيَامُ شَهۡرَيۡنِ مُتَتَابِعَيۡنِ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّاۖ فَمَن لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ فَإِطۡعَامُ سِتِّينَ مِسۡكِينٗاۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتُؤۡمِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦۚ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِۗ وَلِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٤
And he who does not find [a slave] - then a fast for two months consecutively1 before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe [completely] in Allāh and His Messenger; and those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.

58:5

58:6
يَوۡمَ يَبۡعَثُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعٗا فَيُنَبِّئُهُم بِمَا عَمِلُوٓاْۚ أَحۡصَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ وَنَسُوهُۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ شَهِيدٌ ٦
On the Day when Allāh will resurrect them all and inform them of what they did. Allāh had enumerated it, while they forgot it; and Allāh is, over all things, Witness.1
