اِنَّمَا النَّسِیۡٓءُ زِیَادَۃٌ فِی الۡکُفۡرِ ۖ یُضَلُّ بِہِ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا یُحِلُّوۡنَہٗ عَامًا وَّیُحَرِّمُوۡنَہٗ عَامًا لِّیُوَاطِـُٔوۡا عِدَّۃَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ فَیُحِلُّوۡا مَا حَرَّمَ اللّٰہُ ۚ زُیِّنَ لَہُمۡ سُوۡٓءُ اَعۡمٰلِہِمۡ ۗ وَاللّٰہُ لَا یَہۡدِی الۡقَوۡمَ الۡکٰفِرِیۡنَ
6:44; 13:34; 16:64; 27:25; 29:49; 35:9.
نَسِیْء یہ تھی کہ کسی سال وہ محرم کو حلال کر دیتے تاکہ لوٹ مار میں آسانی ہو جائے اور پھر صفر کو محرم بناتے۔ اس طرح سب مہینوں کو بدل کر تیرہ مہینوں کا سال کر دیتے۔ پھر تغیر کر کرکے سال کو اپنی حالت پر لاتے۔
6:44; 13:34; 16:64; 27:25; 29:49; 35:9.
The reference in this verse is to a long-standing Arab custom. The three successive Sacred Months—Dhul-Qa‘dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram sometimes seemed to them too long a time to refrain from their predatory expeditions. In order, therefore, to free themselves from the restrictions of the Sacred Months, they sometimes would treat a Sacred Month like an ordinary month and an ordinary month like a Sacred One.
6:44; 13:34; 16:64; 27:25; 29:49; 35:9.
Important Words:
النسیء (the postponement) is the noun-substantive from نسأ meaning, he postponed or delayed a thing. They say انسأ اللّٰه اجلهi.e. God postponed the end of his life, viz. He prolonged his life. An Arab would say بایعه بنسیئة i.e. he sold it on credit, i.e. the payment was to be made at a future period. نسی therefore means, postponement; or the postponement of a month, i.e. the transfer of the sanctity of one month to a later month, a custom of the Arabs in their days of ignorance; the month which the Arabs so postponed; the postponement of the time of Pilgrimage, another custom of the Arabs; a postponement of the time of payment of a debt or of the price of a thing sold (Lane & Aqrab).
لیواطئوا (that they may agree in) is derived from واطا which is again derived from وطئی meaning, he trod upon it; he trampledupon it. They say, واطاہ علی الامر i.e. he agreed with him respecting the matter. تواطا القوم علی الامر means the people agreed with each other respecting the affair (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The reference in this verse, as shown under Important Words, is to a long-standing Arab custom. The three successive sacred months of Dhul-Qa‘dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Muharram sometimes seemed to them too long a time to refrain from their predatory expeditions. In order, therefore, to free themselves from the restrictions of the sacred months, they sometimes treated a sacred month as an ordinary month and an ordinary month as sacred. This practice is denounced here because it involved fraud and interfered with the security of life guaranteed in these months. The procedure adopted for postponing the observance of a sacred month was generally something like this. When in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, the pilgrims returned from Mina, after having performed the ceremonies of Hajj, an influential man would arise from among the assembly and, according to Arab custom, would say, "I am he whose decree is not to be rejected." Thereupon, the assembly would request him to transfer the sanctity of the next month of Muharram to the following month (Safar). Thus, the sanctity of a month which God had made inviolable was violated with impunity. This artifice, however, was not resorted to every year, but only when it suited their interests or convenience, The Quran has condemned it as an impious innovation, and as evidence of the untrustworthiness of the pagan Arabs, implying that as they could not keep the ordinances of God, they could not be expected to remain true to their engagements with Muslims.

وَلَقَدۡ اَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوۡحًا اِلٰی قَوۡمِہٖ فَلَبِثَ فِیۡہِمۡ اَلۡفَ سَنَۃٍ اِلَّا خَمۡسِیۡنَ عَامًا فَاَخَذَہُمُ الطُّوۡفَانُ وَہُمۡ ظٰلِمُوۡنَ
这节经文中谈及努哈的年龄是九百五十岁。«圣经» 说他的年龄是952岁。很难确定那些古代的先知诸如努哈、呼德、撒利和其他先知生活的确切年代和实际年龄。«古兰经» 说, “除安拉以外无人知道他们” (14:10)。九百五十年这段时间看来不是努哈个人肉体生命的岁数。这看来是他的道统延续的年数。这样, 他的道统看来首先传到伊布拉欣时代, 因为伊布拉欣是 “他的宗派的人” (37:84), 然后传到尤素夫的时代, 然后传到甚至穆撒的时代。实际上, 一个先知的岁数是他道统和教义的年数。在说明努哈年龄的限度时用了 سَنَة (Sanah) 和 عَام (‘Am) 两个单词。前一个单词的基本意义具有 “坏” 的意思, 而后一个单词具有 “好” 的意思。这看来努哈道统开始的五十年是精神全面进步和复兴的时代, 此后就在思想道德方面开始衰落而他的族人的道德逐渐低落, 直到九百年时完全衰亡。
مرادنوحؑ کی عمر نہیں بلکہ ان کی نبوت کا زمانہ مراد ہے یا ان کی قوم کا وہ زمانہ مراد ہے جس میں وہ نیک رہی چنانچہ دوسری جگہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام کے متعلق فرمایا ہے اِنَّ مِنْ شِیْعَتِہٖ لَاِبْرَاھِیْمَ (الصّٰفّٰت: ۸۴) یعنی ابراہیمؑ بھی نوحؑ کے اتباع میں سے تھے۔ پس نوحؑ کی عمر اول ابراہیمؑ تک لمبی ہوئی اور پھر حضرت یوسفؑ بلکہ حضرت موسیٰ علیہ السلام تک لمبی ہوئی۔
Here the age of Noah has been mentioned as 950 years. The Bible places it at 952. It is difficult to assign a definite date as to when the Prophets of antiquity, such as Noah, Hud, Salih and others lived and how long they lived. 'None knows them save Allah,' says the Qur’an (14:10). The period, nine hundred and fifty years, does not seem to be the span of Noah’s personal physical life. It seems to be the period of his Dispensation. Thus it seemed first to extend to Abraham’s ministry because Abraham 'was of his party' (37:84) and then to Joseph’s and then down even to that of Moses. In fact, the age of a Prophet is the age of his Dispensation and teaching. In describing the limit of Noah’s age, two words Sanah and ‘Am have been used. Whereas the root meaning of the former word possesses a sense of badness, that of the latter has a sense of goodness. It seems that the first fifty years of Noah’s Dispensation were years of all round spiritual progress and regeneration and that aft
Important Words:
سنة (year) is derived both from سنه and سنو. They say سنه الطعام i.e. the food rotted; or it rotted by the lapse of years. As derived from سنا یسنو this word (سنة) signifies "a simple revolution of the sun," i.e. a simple revolution of the earth round the sun. It is synonymous with عام (and also حول) with this difference that whereas every سنة is an عام every عام is not سنة. It is also said to be longer than the عام which is applied to the twelve Arabian months collectively; but سنة is also applied to twelve revolutions of the moon. According to Imam Raghib سنة is used as denoting a year in which there is difficulty, or drought or barrenness or dearth; and عام as denoting that in which is ampleness of the means or circumstances of life and abundance of herbage or the like. سنة also means, drought or barrenness or vehement or intense drought. أصابتھم السنة means, drought, etc. befell them. سنة سنھاءmeans, a year in which there is no herbage or rain. سنة سنواء means, a hard, rigorous or distressing year (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
In the verse under comment the age of Noah has been mentioned as 950 years. The Bible gives 952 years as his age. But it is difficult to assign a definite date as to when the Prophets of antiquity, such as Noah, Hud, Salih, etc. lived and how long they lived. "None knows them save Allah," says the Quran (14:10). Nine hundred and fifty years does not seem to be the span of Noah’s life but the period of his Dispensation. In fact, the age of a Prophet is the age of his Dispensation and teaching. It is in this sense that we call the Holy Prophet Muhammad the ever-living Prophet and Islam the everlasting religion. It appears from the Quran (37:84) that Abraham was a follower of Noah. This means that Noah’s period continued up to the time of Abraham or even to that of Joseph or of Moses.
Noah’s Dispensation seems to have lasted about 950 years. In describing the limit of Noah’s age two words سنة and عام have been used. Whereas the root meaning of the former word possesses a sense of badness, that of latter has a sense of goodness. It seems that the first fifty years of Noah’s Dispensation were years of all-round spiritual progress and regeneration and after that moral decadence and degeneration set in and his people gradually became degraded morally, till their degeneration became complete in nine hundred years.
