لَاۤ اُقۡسِمُ بِہٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ
یعنی اسے شہادت کے طور پر پیش کرتا ہوں۔
52:5; 95:4.
The particle la is used here to draw pointed attention to the subject which is about to be introduced and to signify that it is so clear and obvious that it needs no swearing to support it. Or, it may be intended to refute an understood objection. In that case the meaning would be: 'Not that thou art not a forger, as the disbelievers think, thou art a true Prophet of God and this City is called to bear witness to this fact.' But more appropriately the verse means something like this: 'You harbour evil designs about Islam. O disbelievers, I know what is in your minds, but I tell you that it would never happen as you desire, and I cite this City as a witness to this fact.'
52:5; 95:4.
Commentary:
According to some authorities, the particle لا has been used here to draw pointed attention to the subject which is about to be introduced. According to them, the meaning of the verse is: "Listen! Listen! I call to witness this city." Some other scholars think that the verse signifies that the subject which is going to be introduced is so clear and obvious that it needs no swearing to support it. Yet according to another school the particle is intended to refute an understood objection and the meaning of the verse is: "Not that thou art a forger, as the disbelievers think. Thou art not a forger but a true Prophet of God and this city is called to bear witness to this fact." But more appropriately the verse would mean something like this: "You harbour evil designs about Islam, O, disbelievers! I know what is in your minds, but I tell you that it would never happen as you desire, and I cite this city as a witness to this fact."

小品词 لَا (La) 用在这里是要对即将提出的题目引起注意, 并表示这是显而易见的, 是无须起誓才能证实的。这个小品词的用意也可以是为了驳斥一个人所共知的异议。如这样, 就意味着: “不是像不信者所以为的那样, 否定你是伪造者, 你是安拉的真正先知, 可以用这座圣城来证明这一事实。” 但这节经文的更确切的意思大致是这样: “你对伊斯兰教心怀邪恶的阴谋。啊! 不信者呀! 我知道你心里想些什么, 但是我跟你说, 这不会遂你心愿发生的, 我用这座圣城来证明这个事实。”

وَاَنۡتَ حِلٌّۢ بِہٰذَا الۡبَلَدِ
حِلّ, (Hill) 的意思是: (1) 所做的合法的事; (2) 目标; (3) 无义务的人; (4) 在一个地方落脚或居住的人 (Lane)。词根 حَلَّ, (Halla) 包含了所有这些意义, 所以这节经文意味着: (1) 你的敌人认为在这麦加圣城害你, 甚至杀死你都是合法的, 而麦加是那么的神圣, 在其境内最细微的为害都是严格禁止的, 更不用说杀一个生灵。(2) 在这座圣城, 对生命的每一种可以想象的虐待、伤害、损毁、暴虐或暴力, 只有你是目标。(3) 你将作为征服者攻克这座圣城, 而现在你将作为难民从这里被赶出去。(4) 当你作为胜利者进城而那些恶人由你摆布的时候, 你可以短时期不顾这座城市的神圣性, 因为他们将法律置之度外, 对无罪的穆斯林进行难以形容的残害。
Hill means: (1) A thing the doing of which is lawful; (2) target; (3) one free from obligation; (4) one alighting or dwelling in a place (Lane). The root-word Halla possessing all these meanings, the verse signifies: (1) It is considered lawful by your enemies to do you any harm, even to kill you, in this City of Mecca which is so sacred that what to say of killing a living creature, it is strictly forbidden to do it the slightest harm in its precincts. (2) Thou alone art the target of every conceivable abuse, harm, injury, cruelty or violence against life, property or honour in this sacred City. (3) Thou wilt alight as a conqueror in this City from where thou art now being driven out as a fugitive. (4) For a short while thou wilt be freed from the obligation to observe the sacredness of this City when thou wilt enter it as a victor and those wicked people, who had placed themselves outside the pale of law by perpetrating unutterable cruelties on innocent Muslims, will be at your mercy.
Important Words:
حل (dweller) is derived from حل which means, he was or became free from an obligation or responsibility; it was or became lawful. They say حل علیھم العذاب i.e. the punishment alighted upon them or the punishment was necessitated by the requirements of justice to take effect upon them. حل بالمکان means, he alighted or dwelt in the house. حل حقی علیه means, the discharge of my right became obligatory on him. حل(hillun) means: (1) the place outside the sacred precincts of Mecca; (2) the thing the doing of which is lawful; (3) target; (4) free from obligation; (5) alighting or dwelling in a place (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
According to the different meanings of the word حل given under Important Words the verse would signify: (1) It is considered lawful to do you any harm, even to kill you, in this city of Mecca which is so sacred that the doing of harm to a living creature in its precincts, not to say of killing it, is strictly forbidden. (2) Thou alone art the target of every conceivable abuse, harm, injury, cruelty or violence against life, property or honour in this Sacred City. (3) Thou wilt alight as a conqueror in this city from where thou art being driven out as a fugitive. (4) Thou wilt be freed from obligation to observe the sacredness of this city when thou wilt enter it as a victor and wilt punish those wicked persons who had placed themselves outside the pale of law by perpetrating unutterable cruelties on innocent Muslims.
What a mighty prophecy! It was made at a time when opposition to the Holy Prophet was still confined to mocking and jeering at him. The Surah as stated in the Introduction, was revealed towards the end of the third year of the Call when Islam had not yet begun to be preached openly nor had the Meccans awakened to a realization of the danger which the new Faith subsequently proved to be and, therefore, considered it beneath their dignity to offer it any opposition.

وَوَالِدٍ وَّمَا وَلَدَ
当伊布拉欣圣人和他的儿子伊司马仪为天房奠基的时候, 曾祈求安拉在麦加人之中选择一位使者 (2:129-130)。这样 “父亲和儿子” 为穆圣的真理作证。
اس جگہ باپ اور بیٹے سے مراد حضرت ابراہیم اور حضرت اسماعیل علیہما السلام ہیں جنہوں نے مکّہ بنایا تھا۔ وہ دونوں بھی محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی سچائی کے گواہ ہیں۔ کیونکہ دونوں نے مکّہ کی بنیاد رکھتے وقت یہ کہا تھا کہ اس میں پاک کرنے والے لوگ آکر بسیں لیکن محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے زمانہ میں اس میں مشرک بس رہے تھے۔ پس لازمی تھا کہ محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فتح پائیں اور ابراہیم و اسماعیل علیہما السلام کی پیشگوئی بھی پوری ہو جائے اور مکّہ بھی پاک ہو جائے۔
While raising the foundations of the Ka‘bah, the Patriarch Abraham and his son Ishmael had prayed to God to raise among the Meccans a Messenger (2:129, 130). Thus 'the father and the son' bear witness to the truth of the Holy Prophet.
Commentary:
While raising the foundations of the Ka‘bah, the Patriarch Abraham and his son Ishmael had prayed: "And our Lord, raise among them a Messenger from among themselves, who may recite to them Thy signs and teach them the Book and wisdom and may purify them" (2:130). The expression "the father and the son" refers to Abraham and Ishmael, and the verse purports to say that God had His own plan to accomplish by getting the structure of the Ka‘bah raised up by Abraham and Ishmael. This plan was to send the greatest of His Messengers and to give him the Final and most Perfect Law in the form of the Quran for the eternal guidance of mankind. That Divine plan has been fulfilled in the person of the Holy Prophet. Thus "the father and the son" stand as a witness to the truth of his Divine claim. Or "the father and the son," may refer to the Holy Prophet and his noble followers, and the verse may signify that the Holy Prophet himself and his followers constitute a proof of the Divine origin of his mission. Their spotless character, their good qualities of head and heart, the great sacrifices they are making in the cause of truth—all leave no room for doubt that they will succeed in their mission and that those who stand in their way will fail.
