هَٰٓأَنتُمْ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ تُدْعَوْنَ لِتُنفِقُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَمِنكُم مَّن يَبْخَلُ ۖ وَمَن يَبْخَلْ فَإِنَّمَا يَبْخَلُ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْغَنِىُّ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْفُقَرَآءُ ۚ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْمًا غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُونُوٓا۟ أَمْثَٰلَكُم
یعنی اپنی جان ہی کو ثواب سے محروم رکھتا ہے۔
یہاں ثُمَّ کا لفظ ہے جس کے عام معنے ’’پھر‘‘ کے ہوتے ہیں۔ لیکن لغت میں ثُمَّ کے معنے ’’اور‘‘ بھی لکھے ہیں (مُغْنِی اللَّبِیب جلد اول ص۱۰۰ و املاء ابوالبقاء جلد۲ ص۱۲۵) اور وہی اردو میں چسپاں ہوتے ہیں۔ پس ہم نے ان کو اختیار کر لیا ہے۔

Miserliness is a deadly moral disease that eats into the vitals of man’s moral and spiritual well-being. Elsewhere, the Qur’an has used very strong language about such people (9:35).
When the Holy Prophet was once asked as to whom the words, 'He will bring instead a people other than you,' referred, he is reported to have said, 'If Faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man of Persian descent will bring it back to the earth' (Ruhul-Ma‘ani).

Commentary:
The address in this verse is of general application. Miserliness is a deadly moral disease that eats into the vitals of man’s moral and spiritual well-being. Elsewhere the Quran has used very strong language about misers or niggardly people (9:35). When the Holy Prophet was once asked as to whom the words, "He will bring instead a people other than you," referred, he is reported to have said, "If Faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man of Persian descent will bring it back to the earth" (Ruhul-Ma‘ani).

有一次穆圣曾被问到 “安拉将带领一个民族, 但不是你们” 这一句话指谁, 据记载那时他曾说: “如果对安拉的信仰升上昴 (宿) 星团, 有位波斯血统的人会把这信仰带回人间”。(رُوْحُ الْمَعَانِی, Ruhul-Ma‘ani)

یہ اس پیشگوئی کی طرف اشارہ ہے جو رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان الفاظ میں فرمائی ہے کہ لَوْ کَانَ الْاِیْمَانُ مُعَلَّـقًا بِالثُّرَیَّا لَنَالَہٗ رَجُلٌ مِّنْ فَارِسَ یعنی اگر ایمان اُڑ کر ثریّا پر بھی چلا جائے گا تو بھی اسے ایک فارسی شخص وہاں سے واپس لے آئے گا۔
An-Najm means, a star; or a stemless plant. But when used as a proper noun it signifies "the Pleiades." The word is also taken by some scholars to signify the gradual revelation of the Qur’an in pieces, and by some other authorities it refers to the Holy Prophet himself. Its plural an-Nujum also means, chiefs of a people, or small states or principalities (Kashshaf, Taj & Ghara’ibul-Qur’an). In view of its different meanings the word An-Najm in the verse may be explained (1) by a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet which is to the effect: 'When spiritual darkness will spread over the entire face of the earth and there will remain nothing of Islam but its name, and of the Qur’an but its letters, and faith will go up to heaven, a man of the Persian descent will bring it back to earth' (Bukhari).

النجم (the star). The word has been variously interpreted. Generally it means, star or stemless plant, but when used as a proper noun it signifies "the Pleiades." It is taken by some scholars to signify the gradual revelation of the Quran in pieces, and by some other authorities to refer to the Holy Prophet himself.

Commentary:
In view of different meanings of the word النجم given under Important Words, the verse may refer (1) to a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet to the effect that when spiritual darkness will spread over the entire face of the earth and there will remain nothing of Islam but its name and of the Quran but its letters and faith will go up to heavens, a man of the Persian descent, will bring it back to earth (Tirmidhi & Bukhari). Or (2) it may signify that the Quranic revelation hears witness to its own truth. Or (3) it may mean that the tender plant of Islam, which now seems to be going down before the strong and adverse winds of opposition that are fiercely blowing against it, would very shortly rise and develop into a mighty tree under whose cool shade great nations would take shelter. Or (4) the verse may mean that as the Arabs are used to determine the course and direction of, and are guided in, their travels by the movements of the stars in the sandy waste of Arabia (16:17), so they would now be led to the goal and end of their spiritual journey by the star par excellence, i.e. the Holy Prophet. (5) The verse may also embody a prophecy about the fall of the ramshackle State of Arabia, a prophecy much more explicitly stated in the verse, "The Hour has drawn nigh and the moon is rent asunder" (54:2).

The Message of the Holy Prophet was meant not only for the Arabs among whom he was raised but for all non-Arabs as well, and not only for his contemporaries but also for the generations to come till the end of time.

Upon my repeatedly asking him the same question, the Prophet put his hand on Salman and said, “If Faith were to go up to the Pleiades, a man from these would surely find it” (Bukhari). This hadith shows that the verse applies to a man of Persian descent. Now, the Promised Messiah, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement, was of Persian descent. Other sayings of the Holy Prophet speak of the appearance of the Messiah at a time when there would remain nothing of the Quran but its words and of Islam but its name i.e. the true spirit of Islamic teaching will be lost (Baihaqi). Thus the Quran and Hadith both seem to agree that the present verse refers to the Second Advent of the Holy Prophet in the person of the Promised Messiah.
