Quran 8:22 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn


Surely the worst of beasts in God’s sight are those who are deaf to hearing the truth and dumb unable to utter it those who do not understand.


Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim


Indeed, the worst creatures in Allahs sight are the deaf and dumb who are unwilling to hear nor heed

Quran 8:22 Tafsir Ibn Kathir


The Command to obey Allah and His Messenger Allah commands His believing servants to obey Him and His Messenger and warns them against defying him and imitating the disbelievers who reject him.
Allah said, وَلاَ تَوَلَّوْاْ عَنْهُ ( and turn not away from him... ), neither refrain from obeying him or following his commands nor indulge in what he forbade, وَأَنتُمْ تَسْمَعُونَ ( while you are hearing. ) after you gained knowledge of his Message, وَلاَ تَكُونُواْ كَالَّذِينَ قَالُواْ سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ ( And be not like those who say: "We have heard," but they hear not. ) Ibn Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to the hypocrites, who pretend to hear and obey, while in fact they do neither.
Allah declares that these are the most wicked creatures among the Children of Adam, إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِندَ اللَّهِ الصُّمُّ ( Verily, the worst of living creatures with Allah are the deaf ) who do not hear the truth, الْبُكْمُ ( and the dumb ) who cannot comprehend it, الَّذِينَ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ ( who understand not.
)
These indeed are the most wicked creatures, for every creature except them abide by the way that Allah created in them.
These people were created to worship Allah, but instead disbelieved.
This is why Allah equated them to animals, when He said, وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لاَ يَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً ( And the example of those who disbelieve is as that of him who shouts to those that hear nothing but calls and cries. ) 2:171, and, أُوْلَـئِكَ كَالأَنْعَـمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْغَـفِلُونَ ( They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. ) 7:179 It was also said that the Ayah ( 8:22 ) refers to some of the pagans of Quraysh from the tribe of Bani `Abd Ad-Dar, according to Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Ibn Jarir.
Muhammad bin Ishaq said that this Ayah refers to hypocrites, as we stated.
There is no contradiction here, because both disbelievers and hypocrites are devoid of sound comprehension, in addition to having lost the intention to do good.
Allah states here that such are those who neither have sound understanding nor good intentions, even if they have some type of reason, وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَيْرًا لأَسْمَعَهُمْ ( Had Allah known of any good in them, He would indeed have made them listen. ) He would have helped them understand.
However, this did not happen because there is no goodness in such people, for Allah knows that, وَلَوْ أَسْمَعَهُمْ ( even if He had made them listen... ) and allowed them to understand, لَتَوَلَّواْ ( they would but have turned... ), intentionally and out of stubbornness, even after they comprehend, وَهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ ( with aversion. ), to the truth.

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(8:22) Indeed the worst kind of all beasts in the sight of Allah are the people that are deaf and dumb, *17 and do not understand.

Indeed, the worst of living creatures in meaning

*17).
These are the ones who neither hear nor speak the truth.
So far as truth is concerned, their ears are deaf and their mouths dumb.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs


It was also revealed about these: ( Lo! the worst of beasts ) created beings and creatures ( in Allah’s sight are the deaf ) to the Truth, ( the dumb ) about the Truth, ( who have no sense ) who do not understand Allah’s command and His divine Oneness.


Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

Verily! The worst of (moving) living creatures with Allah are the deaf and the dumb, those who understand not (i.e. the disbelievers).
