Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 51-54Verses 46-50

      There was a quarrel between a Jew and a hypocrite. The Jew asked him to refer their case to the Messenger of God for judgement. The hypocrite rejected the proposal saying:ِ ``Mohammad will not observe the justice between me and you, for being cross with me for lack of faith, and with you for rejecting his religion.'' To this effect the above verses revealed.

      The immediate reference of the first (NO.46), is to the perspicuous verses of the Glorious Qurän that are all expressed clearly, and they express things clearly too. These verses are the true signs of God by which, Allah guides to Himself those who obtain the necessary merits and qualifications:ِ

      ``Verily We have sent down perspicuous signs; and Allah guides whoever He will.''

      To obtain the honour of being faithful, the first condition is to conform the tongue with the heart, and to bring both in harmony and agreement; Not to continue a nominal Muslim, or become a hypocrite who say:ِ

      ``....We believe in Allah and in the Messenger, and we obey; and then turn away. Such are not believers indeed.''

      In fact, these are the real hypocrites who play fast and loose according to their selfish aims. Their belief is in the tip of their tongue. They claim to be Muslims and to be obedient to the Messenger, but in time of need and in emergency cases, they prove to have a heart that is beyond, and against, their tongue!

      According to the above occasion of revelation, when it is said to them:ِ ``Why don't you come to the Messenger of God for judgement?'' They bring excuses for their turning away. But when they are sure that the judgement would be in their favour, they readily come and ask the Messenger of God to judge between them. This proves that they are looking for a judge to be flexible enough to lower the balance in their favour. They don't like justice or a judge who would not be open to bribery, gifts, or at least flattery! To this effect, such people are merely hypocrites and are far from being a believer, or even a Muslim.

      And all these faithlessness and hypocrisy, is due to a sickness which is in the bottom of their heart; A disease, the pain of which is manifested in their continuous doubt and wavering.
