Commentary on 9:27
﴿ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ عَلى مِن يَشاءُ﴾ أنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ مِنهم لِحِكْمَةٍ تَقْتَضِيهِ، أيْ: يُوَفِّقُهُ لِلْإسْلامِ ﴿واللَّهُ غَفُورٌ﴾ يَتَجاوَزُ عَمّا سَلَفَ مِنهم مِنَ الكُفْرِ والمَعاصِي ﴿رَحِيمٌ﴾ يَتَفَضَّلُ عَلَيْهِمْ ويُثِيبُهم.
رُوِيَ «أنَّ ناسًا مِنهم جاءُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وبايَعُوهُ عَلى الإسْلامِ، وقالُوا: يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أنْتَ خَيْرُ النّاسِ وأبَرُّ النّاسِ، وقَدْ سُبِيَ أهْلُونا وأوْلادُنا، وأُخِذَتْ أمْوالُنا، قِيلَ: سُبِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةُ آلافِ نَفْسٍ، وأُخِذَ مِنَ الإبِلِ والغَنَمِ ما لا يُحْصى، فَقالَ ﷺ: «إنَّ عِنْدِي ما تَرَوْنَ إنَّ خَيْرَ القَوْلِ أصْدَقُهُ اخْتارُوا (p-57)إمّا ذَرارِيَّكم ونِساءَكُمْ، وإمّا أمْوالَكُمْ»» قالُوا: ما كُنّا نَعْدِلُ بِالأحْسابِ شَيْئًا، فَقامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقالَ: ««إنَّ هَؤُلاءِ جاءُونا مُسْلِمِينَ، وإنّا خَيَّرْناهم بَيْنَ الذَّرارِيِّ والأمْوالِ فَلَمْ يَعْدِلُوا بِالأحْسابِ شَيْئًا، فَمَن كانَ بِيَدِهِ سَبْيٌ وطابَتْ نَفْسُهُ أنْ يَرُدَّهُ فَشَأْنُهُ، ومَن لا فَلْيُعْطِنا ولْيَكُنْ فَرْضًا عَلَيْنا حَتّى نُصِيبَ شَيْئًا فَنُعْطِيَهُ مَكانَهُ، قالُوا: قَدْ رَضِينا وسَلَّمْنا، فَقالَ ﷺ: إنّا لا نَدْرِي لَعَلَّ فِيكم مَن لا يَرْضى، فَمُرُوا عُرَفاءَكم فَلْيَرْفَعُوا ذَلِكَ إلَيْنا»» فَرَفَعَتْ إلَيْهِ العُرَفاءُ أنَّهم قَدْ رَضُوا.

9:28
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُشۡرِكُونَ نَجَسٞ فَلَا يَقۡرَبُواْ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدَ ٱلۡحَرَامَ بَعۡدَ عَامِهِمۡ هَٰذَاۚ وَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ عَيۡلَةٗ فَسَوۡفَ يُغۡنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٞ ٢٨
O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Ḥarām after this, their [final] year. And if you fear privation, Allāh will enrich you from His bounty if He wills. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
9:29
قَٰتِلُواْ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَلَا بِٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِ وَلَا يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ وَلَا يَدِينُونَ دِينَ ٱلۡحَقِّ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ حَتَّىٰ يُعۡطُواْ ٱلۡجِزۡيَةَ عَن يَدٖ وَهُمۡ صَٰغِرُونَ ٢٩
Fight against those who do not believe in Allāh or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allāh and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth [i.e., Islām] from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah1 willingly while they are humbled.

- A tax required of non-Muslims exempting them from military service and entitling them to the protection of the Islāmic state. Concurrently, zakāh is not taken from them, being an obligation only upon Muslims. ↩
9:30
وَقَالَتِ ٱلۡيَهُودُ عُزَيۡرٌ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَى ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ ٱللَّهِۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوۡلُهُم بِأَفۡوَٰهِهِمۡۖ يُضَٰهِـُٔونَ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَبۡلُۚ قَٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ أَنَّىٰ يُؤۡفَكُونَ ٣٠
The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allāh"; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allāh." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before [them]. May Allāh destroy them; how are they deluded?
9:31
ٱتَّخَذُوٓاْ أَحۡبَارَهُمۡ وَرُهۡبَٰنَهُمۡ أَرۡبَابٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡمَسِيحَ ٱبۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓاْ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَٰهٗا وَٰحِدٗاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٣١
They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allāh,1 and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary.2 And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.
