Mention of what God revealed in the Qurʾān concerning Uḥud
[ ذِكْرُهُ رَحْمَةَ الرَّسُولِ عَلَيْهِمْ ] ثُمَّ قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانْفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ أَيْ لَتَرَكُوكَ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ أَيْ فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ فَذَكَرَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ لِينَهُ لَهُمْ، وَصَبْرَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ، لِضَعْفِهِمْ، وَقِلَّةِ صَبْرِهِمْ عَلَى الْغِلْظَةِ لَوْ كَانَتْ مِنْهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي كُلِّ مَا خَالَفُوا عَنْهُ مِمَّا افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ طَاعَةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ. ثُمَّ قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ أَيْ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُمْ، وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ، مَنْ قَارَفَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ أَيْ لِتُرِيهِمْ أَنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ مِنْهُمْ، وَتَسْتَعِينُ بِهِمْ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ غَنِيًّا عَنْهُمْ، تَأَلُّفًا لَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى دِينِهِمْ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ أَيْ عَلَى أَمْرٍ جَاءَكَ مِنِّي وَأَمْرٍ مِنْ دِينِكَ فِي جِهَادِ عَدُوِّكَ لَا يُصْلِحُكَ وَلَا يُصْلِحُهُمْ إلَّا ذَلِكَ، فَامْضِ عَلَى مَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ، عَلَى خِلَافِ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ، وَمُوَافَقَةِ مَنْ وَافَقَكَ، وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ، أَيْ ارْضَ بِهِ مِنْ الْعِبَادِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ إِنْ يَنْصُرْكُمُ اللَّهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ يَخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَنْصُرُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَيْ لِئَلَّا تَتْرُكَ أَمْرِي لِلنَّاسِ، وَارْفُضْ أَمْرَ النَّاسِ إلَى أَمْرِي، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ لَا عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
Translation
✧ [Mention of his mercy, the Messenger’s mercy upon them] Then He, blessed and exalted, said: “So by mercy from Allah you were lenient with them, and if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you,” that is, they would have abandoned you, “so pardon them,” that is, overlook them, “and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter. Then when you have resolved, rely upon Allah. Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him.” Thus He mentioned to His Prophet ﷺ His leniency toward them, and His patience with them, because of their weakness, and their little patience with harshness if it had come from him upon them in all that they opposed him concerning what He had obligated upon them of obedience to their Prophet ﷺ. Then He, blessed and exalted, said: “So pardon them,” that is, overlook them, “and ask forgiveness for them” for their sins, those of the people of faith among them who committed them, “and consult them in the matter,” that is, so that you show them that you listen to them and seek their help, even though you are independent of them, in order to win their hearts thereby to their religion. “Then when you have resolved,” that is, upon a matter that has come to you from Me and a matter of your religion in striving against your enemy, which nothing will make right for you or for them except that, then proceed upon what you have been commanded, contrary to those who oppose you and in agreement with those who agree with you, “and rely upon Allah,” that is, be content with Him instead of the servants, “Indeed, Allah loves those who rely upon Him.” “If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; but if He forsakes you, who is there who can help you after Him?” that is, so that you do not abandon My command for the people, and cast aside the command of the people to My command, and upon Allah, not upon the people, “let the believers rely.”
