Since `Abd Allah ibn Ubayy died some time after the Prophet's return from Tabuk, while verse 84-like most of this surah - was revealed during the campaign, it is clear that the prohibition expressed in this verse relates only (as the sequence shows) to those who "were bent on denying God and His Apostle, and [who] died in this their iniquity"-that is, to unrepentant sinners. those who were bent on giving the lie to God and His Apostle [simply] remained at home.'" [And] grievous suffering is bound to befall such of them as are bent on denying the truth! |
