Surah Tawbah ayat 125 Tafsir Quran 9:125

﴿وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَىٰ رِجْسِهِمْ وَمَاتُوا وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ﴾
[ التوبة: 125]

9:125 But as for those in whose hearts is disease, it has [only] increased them in evil [in addition] to their evil. And they will have died while they are disbelievers.

But as for those in whose hearts is sickness a weakness of faith it only adds abomination to their abomination that is it only adds disbelief to their disbelief since they disbelieve in it and they die while they were disbelievers.

Whereas it -the Surah- adds doubt to those whose ill-natured hearts reflect the morbidity inherent in their innermost being and gives them occasion to uncertainty and increases the degree of their infidelity. They will depart life captivated in disbelief

Faith of the Believers increases, while Hypocrites increase in Doubts and Suspicion Allah said, وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ ( And whenever there comes down a Surah ), then among the hypocrites are, مَّن يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زَادَتْهُ هَـذِهِ إِيمَـناً ( some who say: "Which of you has had his faith increased by it" ) They say to each other, who among you had his faith increased by this Surah from the Qur'an Allah the Exalted said, فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُواْ فَزَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـناً وَهُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ ( As for those who believe, it has increased their faith, and they rejoice. ) This Ayah is one of the mightiest evidences that faith increases and decreases, as is the belief of most of the Salaf and later generations of scholars and Imams.
Many scholars said that there is a consensus on this ruling.
We explained this subject in detail in the beginning of the explanation of Sahih Al-Bukhari, may Allah grant him His mercy.
rAllah said next, وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَتْهُمْ رِجْسًا إِلَى رِجْسِهِمْ ( But as for those in whose hearts is a disease, it will add Rijs to their Rijs. ) the Surah increases them in doubt, and brings more suspicion on top of the doubts and suspicion that they had before.
Allah said in another Ayah, وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْءَانِ مَا هُوَ شِفَآءٌ ( And We send down in the Qur'an that which is a healing ) 17:82, and, قُلْ هُوَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ هُدًى وَشِفَآءٌ وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ فِى ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرٌ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمًى أُوْلَـئِكَ يُنَادَوْنَ مِن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ ( Say: "It is for those who believe, a guide and a healing.
And as for those who disbelieve, there is heaviness (deafness ) in their ears, and it ( the Qur'an ) is blindness for them.
They are those who are called from a place far away ( so they neither listen nor understand )".)41:44 This indicates the misery of the hypocrites and disbelievers, since, what should bring guidance to their hearts is instead a cause of misguidance and destruction for them.
Similarly, those who get upset by a type of food, for instance, will be upset and anxious even more if they are fed that food!

( But as for those in whose hearts is disease ) doubt and hypocrisy, ( it only addeth wickedness to their wickedness ) it only adds doubt to their doubt in what is revealed of the Qur’an, ( and they die while they are disbelievers ) inwardly in Muhammad ( pbuh ) and in the Qur’an.

But as for those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubt, disbelief and hypocrisy), it will add suspicion and doubt to their suspicion, disbelief and doubt, and they die while they are disbelievers.
