اُنۡظُرۡ کَیۡفَ کَذَبُوۡا عَلٰۤی اَنۡفُسِہِمۡ ۚ وَضَلَّ عَنۡہُمۡ مَّا کَانُوۡا یَفۡتَرُوۡنَ

7:54; 11:22.
Commentary:
The words, they lie against themselves, mean that by denying that they ascribed co-partners to God they will utter a lie which will prove their guilt. By making this statement they will, in other words, admit that ascribing co-partners to God is an evil deed. Thus their very denial will be a confession of their guilt.
The words, see how, express astonishment at the way in which they, while trying to deny the charge, will be led into a confession of guilt.

وَجَآءَ الۡمُعَذِّرُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡاَعۡرَابِ لِیُؤۡذَنَ لَہُمۡ وَقَعَدَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَذَبُوا اللّٰہَ وَرَسُوۡلَہٗ ۚ سَیُصِیۡبُ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡہُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِیۡمٌ
Mu‘adhdhir is derived from ‘Adhdhara which means, he excused or affected to excuse himself but did not adduce a valid excuse for doing so; he was remiss or wanting or deficient in an affair, setting up an excuse for being so. Thus the word means, one who falls short of his duty and then excuses himself without having any real excuse (Lane).
Important Words:
المعذرون (those who make excuses) is the plural of معذر which is the active participle from عذر. (‘adhdhara) which again is derived from عذر (‘adhara). They say عذرہ i.e. he excused him or he cleared him from blame, or he accepted his excuse. عذر(‘adhdhara) means, he was without excuse; or he affected to excuse himself but had no excuse; or he excused himself but did not adduce a valid excuse for doing so; he was remiss or wanting or deficient in an affair, setting up an excuse for being so; he did not act vigorously in the affair, causing it to be imagined that he had an excuse when really he had none. Thus معذر is one who falls short of his duty and then excuses himself without having any real excuse; whereas معتذر is one who excuses himself whether he has a real excuse or not (Lane).
Commentary:
The verse speaks of the hypocrites as well as of those weak of faith who did not join the expedition to Tabuk. Some of them were disbelievers at heart, while others were only weak of faith.

وَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرٰی عَلَی اللّٰہِ کَذِبًا ۚ اُولٰٓئِکَ یُعۡرَضُوۡنَ عَلٰی رَبِّہِمۡ وَیَقُوۡلُ الۡاَشۡہٰدُ ہٰٓؤُلَآءِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَذَبُوۡا عَلٰی رَبِّہِمۡ ۚ اَلَا لَعۡنَۃُ اللّٰہِ عَلَی الظّٰلِمِیۡنَ

39:61.
Commentary:
The verse tells us that it is quite easy to distinguish a true claimant from a false one. Those who falsely lay claim to prophethood are most unjust and the unjust are under God’s curse. So it is not difficult to distinguish between true and false prophets. One can know false prophets from their very appearance and their very circumstances.
The word الاشھاد (witnesses) may here refer to true Prophets who will give the lie to their rejecters by pointing to the accursed condition of false prophets and inviting comparison with them.

Commentary:
Whiteness of face is symbolic of happiness while blackness is a token of sorrow and grief (16:59; 80:39, 40). When a person does a good deed for which he is praised the Arabs say of him ابیض وجه فلان i.e. the face of such a one has become white. And when he does a deed for which he is reproached and rebuked, it is said of him اسود وجھه i.e. his face has become black. The verse means to say that the day of reckoning will be a day of regrets and sorrow for the disbelievers.
