Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah Al-Baqarah -> Rejecting Advice is Characteristic of the Hypocrites |
Allah said: ﴿ظˆظژط¥ظگط°ظژط§ ظ‚ظگظٹظ„ظژ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈ ط§طھظ‘ظژظ‚ظگ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژ ط£ظژط®ظژط°ظژطھظ’ظ‡ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ’ط¹ظگط²ظ‘ظژط©ظڈ ط¨ظگط§ظ„ط¥ظگط«ظ’ظ…ظگ﴾ (And when it is said to him, "Fear Allah'', he is led by arrogance to (more) crime.) This Ayah indicates that when the hypocrite, who deviates in his speech and deeds, is advised and commanded to fear Allah, refrain from his evil deeds and adhere to the truth, he refuses and becomes angry and outraged, as he is used to doing evil. This Ayah is similar to what Allah said: ﴿ظˆظژط¥ظگط°ظژط§ طھظڈطھظ’ظ„ظژظ‰ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ط،ظژط§ظٹظژظ€طھظڈظ†ظژط§ ط¨ظژظٹظ‘ظگظ†ظژظ€طھظچ طھظژط¹ظ’ط±ظگظپظڈ ظپظگظ‰ ظˆظڈط¬ظڈظˆظ‡ظگ ط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظƒظژظپظژط±ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈظ†ظ’ظƒظژط±ظژ ظٹظژظƒظژظ€ط¯ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ظٹظژط³ظ’ط·ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط¨ظگط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظٹظژطھظ’ظ„ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ط،ظژط§ظٹظژظ€طھظڈظ†ظژط§ ظ‚ظڈظ„ظ’ ط£ظژظپظژط£ظڈظ†ظژط¨ظ‘ظگط¦ظڈظƒظڈظ… ط¨ظگط´ظژط±ظ‘ظچ ظ…ظ‘ظگظ† ط°ظ„ظگظƒظڈظ…ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظژط§ط±ظڈ ظˆظژط¹ظژط¯ظژظ‡ظژط§ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ‘ظژط°ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظƒظژظپظژط±ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ظˆظژط¨ظگط¦ظ’ط³ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژطµظگظٹط±ظڈ ﴾ (And when Our clear verses are recited to them, you will notice a denial on the faces of the disbelievers! They are nearly ready to attack with violence those who recite Our verses to them. Say: "Shall I tell you of something worse than that The Fire (of Hell) which Allah has promised to those who disbelieved, and worst indeed is that destination!) (22:72) This is why in this Ayah, Allah said: ﴿ظپظژطظژط³ظ’ط¨ظڈظ‡ظڈ ط¬ظژظ‡ظژظ†ظ‘ظژظ…ظڈ ظˆظژظ„ظژط¨ظگط¦ظ’ط³ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظگظ‡ظژط§ط¯ظڈ﴾ (So enough for him is Hell, and worst indeed is that place to rest) meaning, the Fire is enough punishment for the hypocrite.
