Commentary on 9:1–2
"(Inilah pernyataan) pemutusan hubungan dari Allah dan RasulNya (yang dihadapkan) kepada orang-orang musyrikin yang kamu (kaum Muslimin) telah mengadakan perjanjian (dengan me-reka). Maka berjalanlah kamu (kaum musyrikin) di muka bumi selama empat bulan dan ketahuilah bahwa sesungguhnya kamu tidak akan dapat melemahkan Allah, dan sesungguhnya Allah meng-hinakan orang-orang kafir." (At-Taubah: 1-2).
Madaniyah
(1-2) ﴾ بَرَآءَةٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ﴿ "(Inilah pernyataan) pemutusan hubungan dari Allah dan RasulNya (yang dihadapkan)", kepada seluruh orang-orang musyrik yang berada dalam perjanjian damai, bahwa mereka memiliki empat bulan untuk berkeliling dunia sesuka mereka dalam keadaan aman dari orang-orang Mukmin, dan setelah empat bulan tersebut tidak ada lagi perjanjian dan jaminan. Ini berlaku bagi me-reka yang dalam perjanjian mutlak, tidak berbatas atau berbatas, dengan empat bulan atau kurang. Adapun yang mempunyai per-janjian lebih dari empat bulan, maka wajib disempurnakan sampai akhir, jika tidak dikhawatirkan pengkhianatannya, dan mereka tidak memulai membatalkan perjanjian. Kemudian Allah memperingatkan orang-orang musyrik yang berada di dalam masa perjanjian, bahwa meskipun mereka aman, mereka tidak akan dapat melemahkan Allah dan mengalahkanNya, barangsiapa di antara mereka yang terus berpegang dengan kesyi-rikannya, maka Allah pasti akan menghinakannya. Hal ini termasuk pendorong bagi mereka untuk masuk Islam, kecuali orang yang menyombongkan diri, menentang dan mengabaikan ancaman Allah.

[This is a declaration of] disassociation, from Allāh and His Messenger, to those with whom you had made a treaty among the polytheists.1

- But who had violated it. ↩
9:2
فَسِيحُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَرۡبَعَةَ أَشۡهُرٖ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡزِي ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٢
So travel freely, [O disbelievers], throughout the land [during] four months but know that you cannot cause failure to Allāh and that Allāh will disgrace the disbelievers.
9:3
وَأَذَٰنٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡحَجِّ ٱلۡأَكۡبَرِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَرِيٓءٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُۥۚ فَإِن تُبۡتُمۡ فَهُوَ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّكُمۡ غَيۡرُ مُعۡجِزِي ٱللَّهِۗ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ٣
And [it is] an announcement from Allāh and His Messenger to the people on the day of the greater pilgrimage1 that Allāh is disassociated from the disbelievers, and [so is] His Messenger. So if you repent, that is best for you; but if you turn away - then know that you will not cause failure to Allāh.2 And give tidings to those who disbelieve of a painful punishment.
9:4
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ عَٰهَدتُّم مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَنقُصُوكُمۡ شَيۡـٔٗا وَلَمۡ يُظَٰهِرُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَحَدٗا فَأَتِمُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهِمۡ عَهۡدَهُمۡ إِلَىٰ مُدَّتِهِمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٤
Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allāh loves the righteous [who fear Him].
9:5
فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلۡأَشۡهُرُ ٱلۡحُرُمُ فَٱقۡتُلُواْ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡ وَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱحۡصُرُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡعُدُواْ لَهُمۡ كُلَّ مَرۡصَدٖۚ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُاْ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٥
And when the inviolable months1 have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

- The four months mentioned in verse 2, in which the disbelievers were allowed free movement within the land. Other scholars have interpreted them as "the sacred months," i.e., Muḥarram, Rajab, Dhul-Qaʿdah and Dhul-Ḥijjah. ↩
9:6
وَإِنۡ أَحَدٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٱسۡتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرۡهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسۡمَعَ كَلَٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبۡلِغۡهُ مَأۡمَنَهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمۡ قَوۡمٞ لَّا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allāh [i.e., the Qur’ān]. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.
