Lesson
Hasanatun – (good, pleasure), the word hasanah
is a noun from h-s-n; it means every such thing which pleases the heart.
Here it aims “success against enemies”. Just like this, calamity (musiibat)
means “to be martyred, injured or defeated”.
‘Akhaz-naa – (were conscious or cautious), it
is past tense from the word ‘akhaz. ‘Akhaz means “to hold fast, to bring
into one’s grasp”. Here it aims “to be saved from loss or damage by prudence”.
Behavior of
the Hypocrites of Madinah is being narrated. They were dwelling in Madinah
but their fellow-feeling sympathies were with the inhabitants of Makkah
and they were envious of observing the elevation of Muslims. Some mention about
it has passed in previous Chapters. They were unable to vitiate their relations
openly with the Muslims. It was the reason that they lived all together
apparently, but secretly they had their loins grit for enmity. They used to
remain always in such intention that “how the Muslims can suffer loss”. Their common
behavior with the Muslims has been described in this verse.
It is
commanded that these people are such always that whenever the Messenger of God
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and the Muslims get
success and victory, their faces grow pale and they become very sad. But if any
time, the Muslims are hurt, many of them are martyred or injured, then they
celebrate and say: We had already taken precaution; so that we suffer no
injury. We had known in advance that the Muslims will be defeated. They cannot
win. What happened if by chance, they got victory any time? How long the mother-goat
will celebrate? Finally one day, that will be; which is required to be. They brag
similarly, go to their houses leaving assemblies and try to hide their pleasure
but that is manifest on their faces.
The Hypocrites
are as “A wolf in the garb of a lamb” for the nation. There is no big danger
for safety and peace from anything but them. By sending down the Revelation,
Allah Almighty has betrayed their secret; otherwise, there is none who may say to
them any word about it.
