Al-Fath 48:15

Qur'an 48:15

سَيَقُولُ ٱلْمُخَلَّفُونَ إِذَا ٱنطَلَقْتُمْ إِلَىٰ مَغَانِمَ لِتَأْخُذُوهَا ذَرُونَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْ ۖ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُبَدِّلُوا۟ كَلَـٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قُل لَّن تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذَٰلِكُمْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَفْقَهُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Those who remained behind will say when you set out toward the war booty to take it, "Let us follow you." They wish to change the words of Allāh. Say, "Never will you follow us. Thus did Allāh say before." So they will say, "Rather, you envy us." But [in fact] they were not understanding except a little.

Al-Fath 48:15 · Saheeh International

Svenska · Bernström

När ni beger er ut på krigståg där byte kan väntas, säger de som [förut] höll sig borta: "Låt oss gå med er" - de vill alltså ändra på Guds ord. Säg: "Ni skall inte gå med oss! Gud har redan sagt så." Då kommer de att svara: "Ni missunnar oss [del i bytet]!" Nej, de förstår inte mycket!

Recited by Mishary Alafasy. Plays on through the surah.

يُرِيدُونَ أَن يُبَدِّلُواْ كَلَـمَ اللَّهِ

(They want to change Allah's Words), which refers to the promise that Allah gave those who were present at Al-Hudaybiyyah, according to the explanation reported from Mujahid, Qatadah, Juwaybir and which Ibn Jarir preferred. Allah said,

قُل لَّن تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذَلِكُمْ قَالَ اللَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ

(Say: "You shall not follow us; thus Allah has said beforehand.") `when He promised the participants of Al-Hudaybiyyah before you asked to join them,'

فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَا

(Then they will say: "Nay, you envy us.") `you do not want us to share the war spoils with you,'

بَلْ كَانُواْ لاَ يَفْقَهُونَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً

(Nay, but they under- stand not except a little.) the truth is nothing close to what they claimed, but they understand not.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged, English).
