Translation — Tafsir

Key Words and Meanings:

يَحْلِفُونَ – They will swear oaths.
انْقَلَبْتُمْ – You returned (from battle or travel).
لِتُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ – So that you would turn away from them (i.e., overlook their fault and not rebuke them).
رِجْسٌ – Impure, filthy, spiritually unclean (referring to their inner hypocrisy and corruption).
مَأْوَاهُمْ – Their final abode or refuge.
جَزَاءً – As a recompense or reward for their deeds.

Explanation of the Verse:

When you, O believers, return from your expedition, these hypocrites who stayed behind will come to you and swear solemn oaths by Allah, insisting that they had valid excuses for not joining you. They do this only to make you stop blaming them and to avoid any accountability. But Allah commands you: turn away from them, do not accept their excuses, and do not engage in lengthy arguments with them. Leave them in their state, for they are spiritually impure—their hearts are filled with hypocrisy, deceit, and filth that no apology can cleanse. Their true destination in the Hereafter is Hellfire, and that is a sufficient punishment for the sins and evil deeds they persistently committed. Their punishment fits their actions perfectly.

A Call to Reflection and Action:

Dear believer, this verse teaches us a profound lesson about sincerity and discernment. The hypocrites are masters of empty words and false oaths, but Allah, the All-Knowing, exposes their reality to protect His sincere servants. He does not want you to waste your energy on those whose hearts are diseased; rather, He wants you to focus on purifying your own heart and strengthening your bond with Him. When you encounter people who are insincere, do not let their smooth talk disturb your peace—turn away with dignity, trust in Allah’s justice, and remember that their ultimate reckoning is with Him. This is a mercy from your Lord, guiding you to preserve your time, your faith, and your community from corruption. So hold fast to honesty, avoid hypocrisy in all its forms, and strive to be among those whose words match their deeds—for Allah loves the truthful and rewards them with His Paradise. Let this verse be a reminder that no oath can hide the truth from Allah, and no excuse can save a soul that refuses to repent.

📜 Verse 93-97 — At-Tawbah

93۞ إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ وَهُمْ أَغْنِيَاءُ ۚ رَضُوا بِأَن يَكُونُوا مَعَ الْخَوَالِفِ وَطَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

The cause [for blame] is only upon those who ask permission of you while they are rich. They are satisfied to be with those who stay behind, and Allah has sealed over their hearts, so they do not know.

94يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ قُل لَّا تَعْتَذِرُوا لَن نُّؤْمِنَ لَكُمْ قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا اللَّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ ۚ وَسَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

They will make excuses to you when you have returned to them. Say, "Make no excuse - never will we believe you. Allah has already informed us of your news. And Allah will observe your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; then you will be taken back to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you of what you used to do."

95سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ ۖ فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ ۖ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

96يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ ۖ فَإِن تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَرْضَىٰ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ

They swear to you so that you might be satisfied with them. But if you should be satisfied with them - indeed, Allah is not satisfied with a defiantly disobedient people.

97الْأَعْرَابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْرًا وَنِفَاقًا وَأَجْدَرُ أَلَّا يَعْلَمُوا حُدُودَ مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

The bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His Messenger. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
