And He has already revealed to you in the Book that, when you hear the Signs of Allah being denied and mocked at, sit not with them until they engage in a talk other than that; for in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will assemble the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Hell, all together;

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور یقیناً اس نے تم پر کتاب میں یہ حکم اتارا ہے کہ جب تم سنو کہ اللہ کی آیات کا انکار کیا جا رہا ہے یا ان سے تمسخر کیا جا رہا ہے تو اُن لوگوں کے پاس نہ بیٹھو یہاں تک کہ وہ اس کے سوا کسی اور بات میں مصروف ہو جائیں۔ ضرور ہے کہ اس صورت میں تم معاً اُن جیسے ہی ہو جاؤ۔ یقیناً اللہ سب منافقوں اور کافروں کو جہنم میں اکٹھا کرنے والا ہے۔

French

Et dans le Livre, Il vous a déjà révélé que, lorsque vous entendrez les mécréants nier les Signes d’Allāh et s’en moquer, ne vous asseyez pas en leur compagnie tant qu’ils n’aient changé de conversation, sinon vous seriez tout comme eux. Assurément, Allāh rassemblera les hypocrites et les mécréants dans l’Enfer, tous ensemble ;

German

Und Er hat euch schon in dem Buch offenbart: wenn ihr hört, dass die Zeichen Allahs geleugnet und verspottet werden, dann sitzet nicht bei ihnen (den Spöttern), bis sie zu einem anderen Gespräch übergehen; ihr wäret sonst wie sie. Wahrlich, Allah wird die Heuchler und die Ungläubigen allzumal in der Hölle versammeln;

Chinese

安拉已在 (这部) 经典中降下了 (这个命令): 当你们听到安拉的迹象被人拒绝或遭人嘲弄时, [h]直到他们改变了话题, 你们不要与他们同坐, (如果你们与他们同坐), 那么, 你们就被认为与他们是同类的。安拉一定把伪信者和不信者都集合在火狱之中。

Italian

Ed Egli vi ha già rivelato nel libro che, quando udite che essi rinnegano e deridono i segni di Allah vengono rinnegati e derisi, non sedetevi con loro, fino a che non intraprendono altro discorso; perché in tal caso sareste come loro. Certamente Allah riunirà nell'Inferno gli ipocriti e i miscredenti, tutti insieme,

Spanish

Él ya os ha revelado en el Libro que, cuando oigáis que son negados y escarnecidos los Signos de Al-lah, no os sentéis con ellos mientras no inicien otra conversación; ya que, de no hacerlo, seríais como ellos. En verdad, Al-lah reunirá juntos, en el Infierno, a hipócritas e incrédulos;

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اس نے اس کتاب میں تم پر یہ (حکم) اتار چھوڑا ہے کہ جب تم اللہ کی آیتوں کے متعلق اظہار انکار سنو یا ان سے استہزا ہوتا ہوا سنو۔ تو ان (ہنسی کرنے والوں) کے ساتھ (اس وقت تک) نہ بیٹھو جب تک کہ وہ اس کے سوا کسی اور بات میں مشغول (نہ) ہو جائیں۔ تم اس (ہسنی کرنے والوں کے پاس بیٹھنے کی) صورت میں یقیناً ان جیسے (متصور) ہوگے اللہ منافقوں اور کافروں سب کو یقیناً جہنم میں اکٹھا کرکے رہے گا۔

6:69.

Commentary:

The reference in the words, has already revealed to you, is to 6:69 where we read, And when thou seest those who engage in vain discourse concerning Our Signs, then turn thou away from them until they enter into a discourse other than that; and if Satan cause thee to forget, then sit not, after recollection, with the unjust people.

The Surah in which the above-quoted verse occurs was revealed at Mecca, i.e. before the present Surah which is a Medinite one. This clearly shows that the present order of the verses and the Surahs of the Quran is not the same as that in which they were revealed. The reference in the words, He has already revealed to you in the Book, is, as stated above, to 6:69 which was revealed prior to the verse under comment; yet the former has been placed after the latter in the existing arrangement of the Quran.

It is also worthy of note here that while referring to a verse already revealed, the verse under comment uses the words نزل علیکم (has revealed to you) and not یتلی علیکم (is recited to you). The latter expression, i.e. "is recited to you" has been used in 4:128 with reference to 4:4 which had not only been already revealed but has also been placed before the former, i.e. 4:128, in the existing order of the Quran. Again 6:146 makes an allusion to 16:116 in the words اوحی الی (has been revealed to me). Thus, the fact that the Quran uses the words نزل and اوحی for alluding to verses that were revealed earlier but were to be placed later and the word یتلی for alluding to those verses that were not only revealed earlier but were also to be placed earlier, clearly shows that the present order was not devised by the Holy Prophet but was devised and revealed by God Himself.

Another noteworthy point that emerges from this verse is that when an address is made to the Holy Prophet, it is not always meant for him personally but is often meant for his followers, i.e. Muslims in general. In 6:69, the commandment appears to have been addressed to the Holy Prophet, because in that verse all the pronouns and verbs have been used in the second person singular number; but the verse under comment, while referring to the commandment contained in 6:69, clearly addresses Muslims generally, for the words used are, He has already revealed to you in the Book that, when you hear the Signs of God being denied and mocked at, sit not with them, which establishes the fact that the addressees in the commandment embodied in both these verses are the same, i.e. Muslims. If the pronoun "thou" in 6:69 was meant for the Holy Prophet himself, the present verse, while referring to the selfsame commandment, could not address Muslims generally by using the pronoun "you", particularly when besides 6:69 there is no verse in the Quran to which the verse under comment can possibly refer.

The substitution in the present verse of the words لا تقعدوا (sit not with them) for the words اعرض (turn away from them), occurring in 6:69, indicates that the latter expression as used at some places in the Quran is meant to convey the sense of "severing connection with".

The underlying principle in the injunction contained in the present verse is threefold: (1) to emphasize the seriousness and importance of religious matters; (2) to protect the Faithful against the demoralizing influences of disbelievers; and (3) to engender and promote feelings of pious jealousy for religion in the hearts of Muslims.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اللہ اِس کتاب میں تم کو پہلے ہی حکم دے چکا ہے کہ جہاں تم سنو کہ اللہ کی آیات کے خلاف کفر بکا جا رہا ہے اور ا ن کا مذاق اڑایا جا رہا ہے وہاں نہ بیٹھو جب تک کہ لوگ کسی دوسری بات میں نہ لگ جائیں اب اگر تم ایسا کرتے ہو تو تم بھی انہی کی طرح ہو یقین جانو کہ اللہ منافقوں اور کافروں کو جہنم میں ایک جگہ جمع کرنے والا ہے

English - Sahih

And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together -

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور الله نے تم پر قرآن میں حکم اتارا ہے کہ جب تم الله کی آیتوں پر انکار اور مذاق ہوتا سنو تو ان کے ساتھ نہ بیٹھو یہاں تک کہ کسی بات میں مشغول ہوں ورنہ تم بھی ان جیسے ہو جاؤ گے اور الله منافقوں اور کافروں کو دوزخ میں ایک ہی جگہ اکھٹا کرنے والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

And surely He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear (the) Verses (of) Allah being rejected [it] and ridiculed at [it], then do not sit with them until they engage in a conversation other than that. Indeed, you then, (would be) like them. Indeed, Allah will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers in Hell all together.
