At-Tawbah (The Repentance)
Verse 67of 129
ٱلْمُنَٰفِقُونَ وَٱلْمُنَٰفِقَٰتُ بَعْضُهُم مِّنۢ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ يَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ ۚ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ هُمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ﴿٦٧﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
The hypocrite men and hypocrite women are of one another. They enjoin what is wrong and forbid what is right and close their hands. They have forgotten Allah, so He has forgotten them [accordingly]. Indeed, the hypocrites - it is they who are the defiantly disobedient.
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Other Characteristics of HypocritesAllah admonishes the hypocrites who, unlike the believers, who enjoin righteousness and forbid evil, يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنكَرِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ(they enjoin evil, and forbid the good, and they close their hands), from spending in Allah's cause, نَسُواْ اللَّهَ(They have forgotten Allah), they have forgotten the remembrance of Allah, فَنَسِيَهُمْ(so He has forgotten them.), by treating them as if He has forgotten them.
