Surah:67: Al-Qalam
Para:29
Ayat:- 8-16

68:8

فَلَا تُطِعِ الۡمُکَذِّبِیۡنَ ﴿۸﴾

Then do not obey the deniers.

 

Prohibition of giving in to the Pressure of the Disbelievers and Their Suggestions, and that They like to meet in the Middle of the Path

Allah says, `just as We have favored you and given you the upright legislation and great (standard of) character,’

فَلَ تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ

وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
68:9

وَدُّوۡا لَوۡ تُدۡہِنُ فَیُدۡہِنُوۡنَ ﴿۹﴾

They wish that you would soften [in your position], so they would soften [toward you].

 

So, do not obey the deniers. They wish that you should compromise with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.

Ibn `Abbas said,

“That you would permit them (their idolatry) and they also would permit you (to practice your religion).”

Mujahid said,
وَدُّوا لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
(They wish that you should compromise with them, so they (too) would compromise with you).

“This means that you should be quiet about their gods and abandon the truth that you are upon.”

Then Allah says,

وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّفٍ مَّهِينٍ

68:10

وَ لَا تُطِعۡ کُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّہِیۡنٍ ﴿ۙ۱۰﴾

And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer

 

And do not obey every Hallaf (one who swears much) Mahin (liar or worthless person).

This is because the liar, due to his weakness and his disgracefulness, only seeks protection in his false oaths which he boldly swears to while using Allah’s Names, and he uses them (false oaths) all the time and out of place (i.e., unnecessarily).

Ibn `Abbas said, “Al-Mahin means the liar.”

Then Allah says

68:11

ہَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءٍۭ بِنَمِیۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۱۱﴾

[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip –

 

هَمَّازٍ
A Hammaz,

Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah both said, “This is slander.”

مَّشَّاء بِنَمِيمٍ

going about with Namim,

This refers to the one who goes around among people instigating discord between them and carrying tales in order to corrupt relations between people when they are good and pleasant.

It is confirmed in the Two Sahihs that Mujahid reported from Tawus that Ibn `Abbas said,

“The Messenger of Allah once passed by two graves and he said,

إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَأَمَّا الاْخَرُ فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَة

Verily, these two are being punished, and they are not being punished for something major. One of them was not careful about protecting himself from urine (when relieving himself). The other one used to spread Namimah.”

This Hadith has been recorded by the Group in their books through routes of transmission that are all on the authority of Mujahid.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Hudhayfah said,

“I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,

لَاا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّات

The slanderer will not enter into Paradise.”

This Hadith has been reported by the Group except for Ibn Majah.

Concerning Allah’s statement,

مَنَّاعٍ لِّلْخَيْرِ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ

68:12

مَّنَّاعٍ لِّلۡخَیۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ اَثِیۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۱۲﴾

A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,

 

Hinderer of good, transgressor, sinful,

it means, he refuses to give and withholds that which he has of good.

مُعْتَدٍ
transgressor, this means, in attaining that which Allah has made permissible for him, he exceeds the legislated bounds.

أَثِيمٍ
sinful, meaning, he delves into the forbidden things.

Concerning Allah’s statement,

عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ

68:13

عُتُلٍّۭ بَعۡدَ ذٰلِکَ زَنِیۡمٍ ﴿ۙ۱۳﴾

Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.

 

`Utul, and moreover Zanim.
`Utul means one who is cruel, harsh, strong, greedy and stingy.

Imam Ahmad recorded from Al-Harithah bin Wahb that the Messenger of Allah said,

أَلَا أُنَبِّيُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ كُلُّ ضَعِيفٍ مُتَضَعِّفٍ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَاَبَرَّهُ

أَلَا أُنَبِّيُكُمْ بِأَهْلِ النَّارِ كُلُّ عُتُلَ جَوَّاظٍ مُسْتَكْبِر

Shall I inform you of the people of Paradise?

(They will be) very weak and oppressed person. When he swears by Allah, he fulfills his oath.

Shall I inform you of the people of the Fire?

Every `Utul (cruel person), Jawwaz and arrogant person.

Al-Waki` said,

“It (`Utul) is every Jawwaz, Ja`zariand arrogant person.”

Both Al-Bukhari and Muslim recorded this in their Two Sahihs, as well as the rest of the Group, except for Abu Dawud. All of its routes of transmission are by way of Sufyan Ath-Thawri and Shu`bah who both reported it from Sa`id bin Khalid.

The scholars of Arabic language have said that
Ja`zari means rude and harsh, while Jawwaz means greedy and stingy.

Concerning the word Zanim, Al-Bukhari recorded from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning the Ayah,
عُتُلٍّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
(`Utul (cruel), and moreover Zanim.)

“A man from the Quraysh who stands out among them like the sheep that has had a piece of its ear cut off.”

The meaning of this is that he is famous for his evil just as a sheep that has a piece of its ear cut off stands out among its sister sheep.

In the Arabic language the Zanim is a person who is adopted among a group of people (i.e., he is not truly of them).

Ibn Jarir and others among the Imams have said this.

Concerning Allah’s statement,

أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَبَنِينَ

68:14

اَنۡ کَانَ ذَا مَالٍ وَّ بَنِیۡنَ ﴿ؕ۱۴﴾

Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,

 

إِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِ ايَاتُنَا قَالَ أَسَاطِيرُ الاَْوَّلِينَ

68:15

اِذَا تُتۡلٰی عَلَیۡہِ اٰیٰتُنَا قَالَ اَسَاطِیۡرُ الۡاَوَّلِیۡنَ ﴿۱۵﴾

When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the former peoples.”

 

(He was so) because he had wealth and children. When Our Ayat are recited to him, he says:”Tales of the men of old!”

Allah is saying, `this is how he responds to the favors that Allah has bestowed upon him of wealth and children, by disbelieving in Allah’s Ayat and turning away from them while claiming that they are a lie that has been taken from the tales of the ancients.’

This is similar to Allah’s statement,

ذَرْنِى وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيداً وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالاً مَّمْدُوداً وَبَنِينَ شُهُوداً وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيداً ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ

كَلَّ إِنَّهُ كان لاٌّيَـتِنَا عَنِيداً سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُوداً

إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ

ثُمَّ نَظَرَ ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ

فَقَالَ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ سِحْرٌ يُوْثَرُ إِنْ هَـذَا إِلاَّ قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ

سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ وَمَأ أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ

لَا تُبْقِى وَلَا تَذَرُ لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

Leave Me alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely (without any wealth and children etc.). And then granted him resources in abundance. And children to be by his side. And made life smooth and comfortable for him. After all that he desires that I should give more.

Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat. I shall oblige him to face a severe torment!

Verily, he thought and plotted. So let him be cursed, how he plotted! And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted!

Then he thought. Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way. Then he turned back, and was proud.

Then he said:”This is nothing but magic from that of old, this is nothing but the word of a human being!”

I will cast him into Hellfire. And what will make you know what Hellfire is

It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburned)! Burning and blackening the skins! Over it are nineteen (angels as keepers of Hell).

(74:11-30)

Then Allah said here,

سَنَسِمُهُ عَلَى الْخُرْطُومِ

68:16

سَنَسِمُہٗ عَلَی الۡخُرۡطُوۡمِ ﴿۱۶﴾

We will brand him upon the snout.

 

We shall brand him on the snout!

Ibn Jarir said,

“We will make his matter clear and evident so that they will know him and he will not be hidden from them, just as the branding mark on the snouts (of animals).”

Others have said,
سَنَسِمُهُ
(We shall brand him),

This is the mark of the people of the Hell-fire; meaning, `We will blacken his face on the Day of Judgement,’ and the face has been referred to here as snout
