Surah Tawbah ayat 47 Tafsir Quran 9:47

﴿لَوْ خَرَجُوا فِيكُم مَّا زَادُوكُمْ إِلَّا خَبَالًا وَلَأَوْضَعُوا خِلَالَكُمْ يَبْغُونَكُمُ الْفِتْنَةَ وَفِيكُمْ سَمَّاعُونَ لَهُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ﴾
[ التوبة: 47]

9:47 Had they gone forth with you, they would not have increased you except in confusion, and they would have been active among you, seeking [to cause] you fitnah. And among you are avid listeners to them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Had they gone forth among you they would only have caused you more trouble more corruption by abandoning the believers and would have hurried to and fro among you that is they would have hastened to spread slander among you seeking desiring to stir up sedition by casting enmity between you; and among you there are some who would listen to them to what they say listening in readiness to accept it; and God knows the evildoers.

Had they joined you in battle, they would have caused discord and hastened to sow dissension, slander and thoughts of sedition among you, And among you are attentive hearers who bow down their ears to them. Allah is Alimun of all the wrongful of actions

( Had they gone forth among you ) with you ( they had added to you naught save trouble ) evil and corruption ( and had hurried to and fro among you ) they would have marched riding their camels in the middle of you, ( seeking to cause sedition among you ) seeking to cause evil, corruption, humiliation and damage; ( and among you there are some who would have listened to them ) among you there are spies for the disbelievers. ( Allah is Aware of evil-doers ) i.e. the hypocrites: ’Abdullah Ibn Ubayy and his hosts.

Had they marched out with you, they would have added to you nothing except disorder, and they would have hurried about in your midst (spreading corruption) and sowing sedition among you, and there are some among you who would have listened to them. And Allah is the All-Knower of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.).
