قَالُوۡا یٰشُعَیۡبُ مَا نَفۡقَہُ کَثِیۡرًا مِّمَّا تَقُوۡلُ وَاِنَّا لَنَرٰٮکَ فِیۡنَا ضَعِیۡفًا ۖ وَّلَوۡلَا رَہۡطُکَ لَرَجَمۡنٰکَ ۖ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَیۡنَا بِعَزِیۡزٍ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

They replied, ‘O Shu‘aib, we do not understand much of that which thou sayest, and surely, we see that thou art weak among us. And were it not for thy tribe, we would surely stone thee. And thou holdest no strong position among us.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

انہوں نے کہا اے شعیب! تُو جو کہتا ہے اس میں سے بہت سا ہم سمجھ نہیں سکتے جبکہ تجھے ہم اپنے درمیان بہت کمزور دیکھتے ہیں۔ اور اگر تیرا قبیلہ نہ ہوتا تو ہم ضرور تجھے سنگسار کر دیتے اور تو ہمارے مقابل پر کوئی غلبہ نہیں رکھتا۔

French

Ils répondirent : « Ô Shu‘aib, nous ne comprenons pas grand-chose à ce que tu dis, et assurément nous voyons que tu es faible parmi nous. Et n’était-ce ta tribu, nous te lapiderions certainement, alors que tu n’as aucun pouvoir sur nous. »

German

Sie antworteten: "O Schoäb, wir verstehen nicht viel von dem, was du sprichst, und wir sehen bloß, dass du schwach bist unter uns. Und wäre nicht dein Stamm, wir würden dich steinigen. Und du hast keine starke Stellung unter uns."

Chinese

他们说: “舒艾布啊! 你所说的话有很多是我们不了解的。[a]我们觉得你在我们中是一个弱者。如果不是你的家族, 我们一定投石击死了你, 你 (个人) 在我们中, 并不是强有力的。”

انہوں نے جواب دیا "اے شعیبؑ، تیری بہت سی باتیں تو ہماری سمجھ ہی میں نہیں آتیں اور ہم دیکھتے ہیں کہ تو ہمارے درمیان ایک بے زور آدمی ہے، تیری برادری نہ ہوتی تو ہم کبھی کا تجھے سنگسار کر چکے ہوتے، تیرا بل بوتا تو اتنا نہیں ہے کہ ہم پر بھاری ہو"

English - Five Volume Translation

He said, ‘O my people, is my tribe mightier with you than Allah? And you have cast Him behind your backs as neglected. Surely, my Lord encompasses all that you do.[1473]

Commentary:

The Prophets are very jealous about the honour of God. Anyone else in Shu‘aib’s place would have been glad to see that his clan was so powerful that his enemy refrained from doing him harm out of fear of his tribesmen. But it makes Shu‘aib indignant that his security from harm has been ascribed to his clan and not to the protection of God, and he sharply rebukes his opponents saying: "Is my clan more powerful than God so that you are afraid to harm me because of them but you do not fear God and continue to disobey Him by indulging in plunder and fraud". Shu‘aib does not mind, by thus despising his own clan, running the risk of estranging them or making them angry. Only one thought holds sway over his mind and that thought relates to the honour of his God.

The Holy Prophet also never failed to display his love and jealousy for God in a manner worthy of his great spiritual position. One such opportunity occurred at Uhud when, the Muslims suffered a temporary defeat and the infidels, thinking that the Prophet had been killed, shouted slogans glorifying their national idol, Hubal. On that critical occasion, when considerations of safety demanded complete silence, the Holy Prophet rebuked the Muslims for keeping silent and urged them to glorify God at the top of their voices.

And there were in the city a party of nine persons[2178] [a]who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.

26:153.

By implication the reference in the verse is to the nine prominent enemies of the Holy Prophet. Eight of them were killed in the Battle of Badr and the ninth, the notorious Abu Lahab, died at Mecca on hearing the news of the defeat at Badr. These eight were: Abu Jahl, Mut‘im bin ‘Adiyy, Shaibah bin Rabi‘ah, ‘Utbah bin Rabi‘ah, Walid bin ‘Utbah, Umayyah bin Khalf, Nadar bin Harith and ‘Aqbah bin Abi Mu‘ait. They conspired to murder the Holy Prophet. The actual plan was to select one man from every tribe of the Quraish and then make a concerted murderous attack upon him so that no particular tribe might be held responsible for his murder. The plan came from Abu Jahl, the leader of this wicked junta.

Important Words:

رھط (party) is derived from (rahata) which means, he took large bits; he devoured greedily. ارتھط القوم means, the people assembled. رھط means, a man’s people or tribe consisting of his near relations or kinsfolk; a number of men less than ten among whom there is no woman; or a number of men from three to ten or from seven to ten (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

By implication the reference in the verse is to the enemies of the Holy Prophet, prominent among whom were nine persons. Eight of them were killed in the Battle of Badr and the ninth, the notorious Abu Lahab, died at Mecca on hearing of the news of the defeat at Badr. The eight were: Abu Jahl, Mut‘im bin ‘Adiyy, Shaibah bin Rabi‘ah, ‘Utbah bin Rabi‘ah, Walid bin ‘Utbah,’ Ummayah bin Khalf, Nadar bin Harith and ‘Aqbah bin Abi Mu‘ait. All these nine men conspired to murder the Holy Prophet. The actual plan to select one man from every tribe of the Quraish and then make a concerted murderous attack upon the Holy Prophet so that no particular tribe might be held responsible for his murder came from Abu Jahl, the leader of this wicked junta.

The present Surah was revealed towards the middle of the Meccan period and the plot against the Holy Prophet matured just before his departure for Medina. Thus mention of such a plot in the account of Prophet Salih implied a prophetic reference to a similar plot against the Holy Prophet at a later date. A reference to the plot against the Holy Prophet has also been made in 8:31. See next verse.
