Desire of Deserting from fighting

Chapter “’Al-‘Ahzaab” - (The Clans) - 33

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَإِن يَأْتِ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ يَوَدُّوا۟ لَوْ أَنَّهُم بَادُونَ فِى ٱلْأَعْرَابِ يَسْـَٔلُونَ عَنْ أَنۢبَآئِكُمْ وَلَوْ كَانُوا۟ فِيكُم مَّا قَٰتَلُوٓا۟ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا 20b (ع) لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْءَاخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا 21

                                       

20b.  and if the Clans should advance (again), they would fain be in the desert with the wandering Arabs, asking for the news of you; and if they were among you, they would not give battle, save a little. 21.  Verily in the Messenger of Allah ye have a Good Example for him who looketh unto Allah and the Last Day, and Remembereth Allah much.

20b.  Wa  ‘iny-ya’-til-  ‘Ahzaabu  yawadduu  law  ‘annahum-  baaduuna  fil-‘A’-raabi  yas-‘aluuna  ‘an  ‘ambaaa-‘ikum.  Wa  law  kaanuu  fiikum-maa  qaataluuu  ‘illaa  qaliilaa. (Section 2) 21.  Laqad  kaana  lakum  fii  RasuuLillaahi  ‘Uswatun  Hasanatul-liman  kaana  yarjUllaaha  wal-Yawmal-‘Aakhira  wa  ZakarAllaaha  kasiiraa.

Commentary

Baaduuna – (in the desert among the Bedouins, the wandering Arabs), this word is plural of baadii, which means “wandering out of the township”. Badaviyyun means “villagers”.

‘Uswatun – (example, pattern).

Condition of the Hypocrites is being described. It is commanded: Although the Armies of the Infidels have returned from the Battlefield, even then these people say that the companies have not yet withdrawn but they are still in the battlefield for killing us (the Hypocrites). Their hearts have been trembling due to fear. They wish to wander in the desert, away from the Township and get the news concerning you from there, when the Armies of the enemies approach, although they do not take part in the battle while they are along with you.

It is commanded: The people who have believed in Allaah Almighty and the Day of Resurrection, and who remember Allaah Almighty only in their hearts, for them, the pattern of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is the best example, to whom they should follow. They do never fear at the time of any danger and confront the troubles bravely. They should follow you O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) who are hopeful for reward from Allaah Almighty.
