S 3 A 121

آل عمران آيه 121

أي برد أَصٰابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْمٍ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ أي زرعهم وَ مٰا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ لٰكِنْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ .

Any cold that strikes the tillage of a people who have wronged themselves and destroys it—meaning their crop—while Allah did not wrong them, but they wrong themselves.

و قوله تعالى: يٰا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاٰ تَتَّخِذُوا بِطٰانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ نزلت في اليهود لاٰ يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبٰالاً أي عداوة. و قوله تعالى: عَضُّوا عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَنٰامِلَ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ قال:أطراف الأصابع.

And His saying, O you who believe, do not take into your intimacy those other than yourselves—this was revealed about the Jews—“they will not fail to corrupt you,” meaning enmity. And His saying, “They bite their fingertips at you out of rage,” he said: the tips of the fingers.

قوله تعالى:

وَ إِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ تُبَوِّئُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَقٰاعِدَ لِلْقِتٰالِ وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ[121]

And when you went forth early from your family, to lodge the believers in encampments for war; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. [Qur’an 3:121, M. H. Shakir]

99-/1892 _1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي،عَنْ صَفْوَانَ،عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ،عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «سَبَبُ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ أَنَّ قُرَيْشاً خَرَجَتْ مِنْ مَكَّةَ تُرِيدُ حَرْبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،فَخَرَجَ يَبْتَغِي مَوْضِعاً لِلْقِتَالِ».

**99-/1892) Ali ibn Ibrahim said: My father narrated to me, from Safwan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Basir, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “The reason for the revelation of this verse is that Quraysh set out from Mecca intending to wage war against the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family), so he went out seeking a place for battle.”

99-/1893 _2- ابْنُ شَهْرَآشُوبَ: فِي شَوَّالٍ غَزَاةِ أُحُدٍ-وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْمِهْرَاسِ [1]-قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ مُجَاهِدٌ وَ قَتَادَةُ وَ الرَّبِيعُ وَ السُّدِّيُّ وَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ،نَزَلَ قَوْلُهُ: وَ إِذْ غَدَوْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ فِيهَا، وَ هُوَ الْمَرْوِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ).

**99-/1893) Ibn Shahrāshūb: In Shawwal, at the Battle of Uhud—which is the Day of al-Mihrās [1]—Ibn ‘Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, al-Rabi‘, al-Suddi, and Ibn Ishaq said that His saying, “And when you went forth early from your family,” was revealed about it; and this is narrated from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him).

99-/1894 _3- وَ عَنْهُ:عَنِ الصَّادِقِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)وَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: لَمَّا قَصَدَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فِي ثَلاَثَةِ آلاَفٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)وَ يُقَالُ:فِي أَلْفَيْنِ.مِنْهُمْ مِائَتَا فَارِسٍ،وَ الْبَاقُونَ رَكْبٌ،لَهُمْ سَبْعُمِائَةِ دِرْعٍ».

**99-/1894) And from him: from al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) and Ibn Mas‘ud: When Abu Sufyan set out with three thousand from Quraysh against the Prophet (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family)—and it is said: with two thousand—among them were two hundred horsemen, and the rest were mounted; they had seven hundred coats of mail.

قوله تعالى:

إِذْ هَمَّتْ طٰائِفَتٰانِ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْشَلاٰ[122]

When two parties from among you had determined that they should show cowardice; [Qur’an 3:122, M. H. Shakir]

/1895 _4-علي بن إبراهيم:نزلت في عبد اللّه بن أبي و قوم من أصحابه اتبعوا رأيه في ترك الخروج،و القعود عن نصرة رسول اللّه(صلّى اللّه عليه و آله).

**/1895) ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim: It was revealed about ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy and a group of his companions who followed his opinion to refrain from going out and to sit back from supporting the Messenger of Allah (blessings of Allah be upon him and his family).
