Verš 4:77
Což jsi neviděl ty, jimž bylo řečeno: „Spusťte své ruce, dodržujte modlitbu a dávejte almužnu!“ A když jim bylo předepsáno bojovat, hle, jedna skupina z nich, jež bojí se lidí tak, jak bojí se Boha, anebo ještě větším strachem, zvolala: „Pane náš, proč jsi nám předepsal boj? Nemohl bys nám jej ještě o malou chvíli odložit?“ Rci: „Užívání na tomto světě je jen nepatrné, zatímco onen svět je daleko lepší pro toho, jenž je bohabojný – a nebudete ošizeni ani o slupku pecky datlové!“
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Have you not seen those to whom it was said, ‘Restrain your hands, from fighting the disbelievers when they desired it at Mecca, because of the harm the disbelievers had inflicted upon them — and these were a group from among the Companions — and establish the prayer, and pay the alms’? Then, as soon as fighting was prescribed, was made obligatory, for them, lo, a party of them fear people, the disbelievers, that is, [they fear] punishment at their hands through death, as they would fear, the punishment of, God, or with more fear, than their fear of Him (ashadda, ‘more’, is in the accusative because it is a circumstantial qualifier; the response to the lammā, ‘as soon as’, is indicated by idhā, ‘lo’, and what follows), in other words, they are taken aback by fear, and they said, frightened of death, ‘Our Lord, why have You prescribed fighting for us? Why not (lawlā is [to be understood as] hallā) defer us to a near term?’ Say, to them: ‘The enjoyment of this world, that which is enjoyed therein, or enjoying it [the world], is trifling, it will end up by perishing; and the Hereafter, Paradise, is better for him who fears God’s punishment by avoiding disobedience to Him; and you shall not be wronged (lā tuzlamūna, may also be read lā yuzlamūna, ‘they shall not be wronged’) you shall not be diminished of your deeds, a single date-thread, as much as the peel on a date-stone, so struggle [in the way of God].
