Quran 58:8 Surah Mujadilah ayat 8 Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English
﴿أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نُهُوا عَنِ النَّجْوَىٰ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَيَتَنَاجَوْنَ بِالْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُولِ وَإِذَا جَاءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلَا يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ ۚ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ يَصْلَوْنَهَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ﴾
[ المجادلة: 8]
58:8 Have you not considered those who were forbidden from private conversation, then they return to that which they were forbidden and converse among themselves about sin and aggression and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they come to you, they greet you with that [word] by which Allah does not greet you and say among themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?" Sufficient for them is Hell, which they will [enter to] burn, and wretched is the destination.

Quran 58:8 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
Have you not seen have you not observed those who were forbidden from conversing in secret but then returned to that they had been forbidden and all the while hold secret conversations tainted with sin and plans for enmity and disobedience to the Messenger? These were the Jews whom the Prophet s had forbidden them what they used to do in their secret talks that is their habit of conversing secretly with one another and giving the believers looks in order to cast doubt into their hearts about the faith. And who when they come to you they greet you O Prophet with that with which God never greeted you — namely their saying to the Prophet al-sāmu ‘alayka meaning ‘Death be upon you’ and they say within themselves ‘Why does God not chastise us for what we say?’ in the way of such a greeting and our saying that he is not a prophet if he truly were a prophet. Hell will suffice them! In it they will be made to burn — and what an evil journey’s end! it is.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Do you see O Muhammad how those who were forbidden secret counsels turn their minds back to what they have been forbidden to do? They convey their thoughts reciprocally in talk uttered below their breath, reticent about their intentions of secretly promoting the evil forged in their bosoms that their tongues must vent. They encourage aggression upon others and disobedience to the Messenger. When they come to you they greet you with expressions of ill-will unlike that with which Allah greets you, and they suggest secretly to their minds: if he is truly a Messenger of Allah would Allah not punish us on his behalf? Hell awaits them to be put to the torture, and how evil is the destination
Quran 58:8 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
The Evil of the Jews
Ibn Abi Najih reported from Mujahid,
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نُهُواْ عَنِ النَّجْوَى ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ
( Have you not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels, and afterwards returned to that which they had been forbidden, ) He said, "The Jews." Similar was said by Muqatil bin Hayyan, who added, "The Prophet had a peace treaty with the Jews.
When one of the Prophet's Companions would pass by a gathering of Jews, they would speak among themselves in secret, prompting the believer to think that they were plotting to kill or harm him.
When the believer saw this, he feared for his safety and changed the route he was taking.
The Prophet advised them to abandon their evil secret talks, but they did not listen and kept on holding the Najwa.
Allah the Exalted sent down this Ayah in their case,
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ نُهُواْ عَنِ النَّجْوَى ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ
( Have you not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels, and afterwards returned to that which they had been forbidden )." Allah's statement,
وَيَتَنَـجَوْنَ بِالإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَتِ الرَّسُولِ
( and conspired together for sin and wrongdoing and disobedience to the Messenger. ) means, they used to talk to each other,
بِالإِثْمِ
( for sin ) which involves themselves,
وَالْعُدْوَنِ
( and wrongdoing ) which effects others.
They speak about disobedience and defying of the Messenger , with persistence and recommending each other to follow their way,
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ
( And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not, ) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that `A'ishah said, "Some Jews came to the Prophet and greeted him by saying, `As-Sam `Alayka, O Abul-Qasim.' So I said to them, `wa `Alaykum As-Sam ( the same death be upon you ).' The Prophet said,
«يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْفُحْشَ وَلَا التَّفَحُّش»
( O `A'ishah, Allah does not like rudeness and foul speech. ) I said, `Didn't you hear them say, `As-Sam Alayka' He said,
«أَوَ مَا سَمِعْتِ أَقُولُ: وَعَلَيْكُم»
( Didn't you hear me answering them back by saying, `Wa `Alaykum (And the same upon you )') Allah the Exalted then sent down this Ayah,
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ
( And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not, )" The narration collected in the Sahih states that `A'ishah said, "And be upon you the death, disgrace and curse." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her,
«إِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لَنَا فِيهِمْ، وَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِينَا»
( Allah accepts our supplication against them, but not theirs against us. ) Ibn Jarir recorded that Anas bin Malik said, "A Jew passed by Allah's Messenger , who was sitting with his Companions, he greeted them and they greeted him back.
Allah's Messenger ﷺ then said to his Companions,
«هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا قَالَ؟»
( Do you know what he just said ) They said, `He said: As-Salam, O Allah's Messenger.' The Prophet said,
«بَلْ قَالَ: سَامٌ عَلَيْكُم»
( Rather he said, Sam `Alaykum. ) meaning, `may you disgrace your religion.' Allah's Messenger ﷺ then said,
«رُدُّوه»
( Bring him back, ) and when he was brought back, the Prophet asked him,
«أَقُلْتَ: سَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ؟»
( Did you say: Sam `Alaykum ) He said, `Yes.' The Prophet then said,
«إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا: عَلَيْك»
( When the people of the Book greet you, say, `Wa `Alaykum.' )" meaning, `and the same on you too.' The basis for the Hadith of Anas is in the Sahih and similar to this Hadith of `A'ishah is in the Sahih.
Allah said,
وَيَقُولُونَ فِى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلاَ يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ
( and say within themselves:"Why should Allah punish us not for what we say" ) means, the Jews say these words, changing the meaning of the Islamic greeting, into an abusive statement, and then say, `Had he been a Prophet, Allah would have punished us for what we said.
Allah knows what we conceal.
Therefore, if Muhammad ﷺ were a Prophet, Allah would have sent His punishment on us sooner, in this life.' Allah the Exalted replied,
حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ
( Hell will be sufficient for them; ) ell should be sufficient for them in the Hereafter,
يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
( they will enter therein.
And worst indeed is that destination! ) Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin `Amr said that the Jews used to say, "Sam `Alayka," to Allah's Messenger ﷺ.
They would say then within themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us for what we say" This Ayah was later revealed,
وَإِذَا جَآءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ وَيَقُولُونَ فِى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَوْلاَ يُعَذِّبُنَا اللَّهُ بِمَا نَقُولُ حَسْبُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ
( And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not, and say within themselves: "Why should Allah punish us not for what we say" Hell will be sufficient for them; they will enter therein.
And worst indeed is that destination! ) Its chain of narration is Hasan, but they ( Al-Bukhari and Muslim ) did not collect it.
Manners of the Najwa, ( Secret Counsel )
Allah the Exalted teaches His believing servants to avoid the ways of the disbelievers and hypocrites,
يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ إِذَا تَنَاجَيْتُمْ فَلاَ تَتَنَـجَوْاْ بِالإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَمَعْصِيَةِ الرَّسُولِ
( O you who believe! When you hold secret counsel, do it not for sin and wrongdoing, and disobedience to the Messenger, ) meaning, do not hold evil secret counsels like the ignorant disbelieving People of the Scriptures and their allies among the hypocrites, who imitate their ways,
وَتَنَـجَوْاْ بِالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ الَّذِى إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
( but do it for Al-Birr and Taqwa; and have Taqwa of Allah unto Whom you shall be gathered. ) and He will then inform you of all your deeds and statements; He has counted and recorded them and will justly hold you accountable for them.
Allah the Exalted said,
إِنَّمَا النَّجْوَى مِنَ الشَّيْطَـنِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَلَيْسَ بِضَآرِّهِمْ شَيْئاً إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
( An-Najwa are only from the Shaytan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers.
But he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allah permits.
And in Allah let the believers put their trust. ) Allah states that secret talks, where the believers feel anxious, are
مِنَ الشَّيْطَـنِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
( only from Shaytan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers. ) meaning, that those who hold such counsels do so because of the lures of the devil,
لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
( in order that he may cause grief to the believers. ) The devil seeks to bother the believers, even though his plots will not harm the believers, except if Allah wills it.
Those who are the subject of evil Najwa, should seek refuge in Allah and put his trust in Him, for none of it will harm them, Allah willing.
The Sunnah also forbids the Najwa so that no Muslim is bothered by it.
Imam Ahmad recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلَاثَةً فَلَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ صَاحِبِهِمَا، فَإِنَّ ذلِكَ يُحْزِنُه»
( If you were three, then two of you should not hold a secret counsel in the presence of the third person, because that would cause him to be worried. ) This Hadith is collected in the Two Sahihs using a chain of narration that contained Al-A`mash.
`Abdur-Razzaq narrated that `Abdullah bin `Umar said that Allah's Messenger ﷺ said,
«إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلَاثَةً فَلَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ الثَّالِثِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، فَإِنَّ ذلِكَ يُحْزِنُه»
( If you were three, then two of you should not hold a secret counsel in the presence of the third person, except with his permission, because that would cause him to be worried. ) Muslim collected this Hadith.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(58:8) Have you not seen those who were forbidden to whisper and yet they engaged in what they had been forbidden? *21 They secretly converse among themselves concerning sin and transgression and disobedience to the Messenger. And when they come to you, they greet you in a manner that Allah does not greet you, *22 and say to themselves: 'Why does Allah not chastise us for these utterances of ours?' *23 Hell it is that shall suffice them, and in it will they burn. How woeful is their destination!
Have you not considered those who were meaning
*21) This shows that before the revelation of this verse the Holy Prophet ( upon whom by Allah's peace ) had forbidden the people this practice.
Yet when they did not desist, AIIah directly sent down this verse containing His warning and wrath for such people.
*22) This was the common practice of the Jews and the hypocrites.
According to several traditions, some Jews came before the Holy Prophet ( upon be Allah's peace ) and said: " As-sam alaika ya abul-Qasim.
" That is, they pronounced as-sam `alaika in such a manner as to give the impression that they had said as-salam alaika ( peace be on you ), which is the Islamic way of greeting.
But actually they had said " Sam ", which means death.
In response the Holy Prophet said: " wa alaikum.
"Hadrat `A'ishah retorted: " May death visit you and the curse of Allah! " The Holy Prophet warned her, saying: " `A'ishah, Allah does not like abusive language, " She submitted: " Didn't you hear, O Messenger of Allah what they said? " The Holy Prophet replied: " And didn't you hear what reply I gave? I said: and the same upon you. " ( Bukhiiri, Muslim, Ibn Jarir Ibn Abi Hatim ).
Hadrat `Abdullah bin `Abbiis has stated that both the Jews and the hypocrites had adopted this very way of greeting.
( Ibn Jarir ).
*23) That is, they regarded it as a proof of the Holy Prophet's not being a Messenger.
They thought that if he had been a true Messenger, they would be punished by a torment as soon as they greeted him in that way.
Since there was not torment while they were greeting him day and night like that, he was not a Messenger of Allah.

وَتَنَـجَوْاْ بِالْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ الَّذِى إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ
( but do it for Al-Birr and Taqwa; and have Taqwa of Allah unto Whom you shall be gathered. ) and He will then inform you of all your deeds and statements; He has counted and recorded them and will justly hold you accountable for them.

( An-Najwa are only from the Shaytan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers.
But he cannot harm them in the least, except as Allah permits.
And in Allah let the believers put their trust. ) Allah states that secret talks, where the believers feel anxious, are
مِنَ الشَّيْطَـنِ لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
( only from Shaytan, in order that he may cause grief to the believers. ) meaning, that those who hold such counsels do so because of the lures of the devil,
لِيَحْزُنَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ
( in order that he may cause grief to the believers. ) The devil seeks to bother the believers, even though his plots will not harm the believers, except if Allah wills it.
Those who are the subject of evil Najwa, should seek refuge in Allah and put his trust in Him, for none of it will harm them, Allah willing.
The Sunnah also forbids the Najwa so that no Muslim is bothered by it.

( If you were three, then two of you should not hold a secret counsel in the presence of the third person, except with his permission, because that would cause him to be worried. ) Muslim collected this Hadith.
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Hast thou not observed ) O Muhammad ( those who were forbidden conspiracy ) other than true believers ( and afterward returned to that which they had been forbidden ) of conspiracy, leaving aside true believers, ( and (now ) conspire together) among themselves ( for crime ) for lies ( and wrong-doing ) transgression ( and disobedience towards the messenger ) by opposing the Messenger after he forbade them from doing so? What happened is that the hypocrites used to hold secret conferences with the Jews regarding the military expeditions of the believers, in order to aggrieve the believers. ( And when they ) i.e. the Jews ( come unto thee they greet thee with a greeting wherewith Allah greeteth thee not ) for they used to say al-sam, i.e. death, be with you [ that is instead of saying al-salam, i.e. peace, be with you ] and the Prophet ( pbuh ) used to answer: and al-sam be with you, ( and say within themselves ) to one another: ( Why should Allah punish us for what we say ) to His Prophet? If he were truly a Prophet, as he claims, his prayer would have been answered when he answers: and al-sam be with you. Allah answered them, saying: ( Hell will suffice them ) i.e. the Jews as a destination in the Hereafter; ( they will feel the heat thereof. A hapless journey’s end ) is hell wherein they will end!
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Have you not seen those who were forbidden to hold secret counsels, and afterwards returned to that which they had been forbidden, and conspired together for sin and wrong doing and disobedience to the Messenger (Muhammad SAW). And when they come to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allah greets you not, and say within themselves: "Why should Allah punish us not for what we say?" Hell will be sufficient for them, they will burn therein, and worst indeed is that destination!
