Commentary on 8:6
﴿يُجادِلُونَكَ في الحَقِّ﴾ الَّذِي هو تَلَقِّي النَّفِيرِ المُعْلِي لِلدِّينِ؛ لِإيثارِهِمْ عَلَيْهِ تَلَقِّيَ العِيرِ.
والجُمْلَةُ إمّا مُسْتَأْنَفَةٌ أوْ حالٌ ثانِيَةٌ، وجُوِّزَ أنْ تَكُونَ حالًا مِنَ الضَّمِيرِ في (لَكارِهُونَ)، وقَوْلُهُ سُبْحانَهُ: ﴿بَعْدِما تَبَيَّنَ﴾ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِ يُجادِلُونَ، و(ما) مَصْدَرِيَّةٌ، وضَمِيرُ تَبَيَّنَ لِلْحَقِّ أيْ: يُجادِلُونَ بَعْدَ تَبَيُّنِ الحَقِّ لَهم بِإعْلامِكَ أنَّهم يُنْصَرُونَ ويَقُولُونَ: ما كانَ خُرُوجُنا إلّا لِلْعِيرِ وهَلّا ذَكَرْتَ لَنا القِتالَ حَتّى نَسْتَعِدَّ لَهُ ونَتَأهَّبَ ﴿كَأنَّما يُساقُونَ إلى المَوْتِ﴾ أيْ: مُشَبَّهِينَ بِالَّذِينِ يُساقُونَ بِالعُنْفِ والصَّغارِ إلى القَتْلِ، فالجُمْلَةُ في مَحَلِّ نَصْبٍ عَلى الحالِيَّةِ مِن ضَمِيرِ لَكارِهُونَ، وجُوِّزَ أنْ تَكُونَ صِفَةَ مَصْدَرٍ لِكارِهُونَ بِتَقْدِيرِ مُضافٍ أيْ: لَكارِهُونَ كَراهَةً كَكَراهَةِ مَن سِيقَ لِلْمَوْتِ ﴿وهم يَنْظُرُونَ﴾ حالٌ مِن ضَمِيرِ يُساقُونَ وقَدْ شاهَدُوا أسْبابَهُ وعَلاماتِهِ، وفي قَوْلِهِ سُبْحانَهُ وتَعالى: ﴿كَأنَّما﴾ إلَخْ إيماءٌ إلى أنَّ مُجادَلَتَهم كانَتْ لِفَرْطِ فَزَعِهِمْ ورُعْبِهِمْ لِأنَّهم كانُوا ثَلاثَمِائَةٍ وتِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا في قَوْلٍ فِيهِمْ فارِسانِ المِقْدادُ بْنُ الأسْوَدِ، والزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ العَوّامِ، وعَنْ عَلِيٍّ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ تَعالى وجْهَهُ: ما كانَ مِنّا فارِسٌ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إلّا المِقْدادُ، وكانَ المُشْرِكُونَ ألْفًا قَدِ اسْتَعَدُّوا لِلْقِتالِ.

The Spoils of War · Medinan · 75 ayahs
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
8:1
يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلۡأَنفَالِۖ قُلِ ٱلۡأَنفَالُ لِلَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِۖ فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَصۡلِحُواْ ذَاتَ بَيۡنِكُمۡۖ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ١
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the bounties [of war]. Say, "The [decision concerning] bounties is for Allāh and the Messenger." So fear Allāh and amend that which is between you and obey Allāh and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
8:2
إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتۡهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٢
The believers are only those who, when Allāh is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely -
8:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ ٣
The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
8:4
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ حَقّٗاۚ لَّهُمۡ دَرَجَٰتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ وَمَغۡفِرَةٞ وَرِزۡقٞ كَرِيمٞ ٤
Those are the believers, truly. For them are degrees [of high position] with their Lord and forgiveness and noble provision.
8:5
كَمَآ أَخۡرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنۢ بَيۡتِكَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ لَكَٰرِهُونَ ٥
[It1 is] just as when your Lord brought you out of your home [for the battle of Badr] in truth, while indeed, a party among the believers were unwilling,

وَإِذۡ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِحۡدَى ٱلطَّآئِفَتَيۡنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمۡ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيۡرَ ذَاتِ ٱلشَّوۡكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمۡ وَيُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُحِقَّ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَيَقۡطَعَ دَابِرَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٧
[Remember, O believers], when Allāh promised you one of the two groups1 - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allāh intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers
