Tafsir of Al-`Ankabut 29:10

Surah Al-`Ankabut 29:10

ﱮ ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ ﱾ ﱿ ﲀ ﲁ ﲂ ﲃ ﲄ ﲅ ﲆ ﲇ ﲈ ﲉ ﲊ ﲋ ﲌ ﲍ ﲎ

And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah," but when one [of them] is harmed for [the cause of] Allah, they consider the trial of the people as [if it were] the punishment of Allah. But if victory comes from your Lord, they say, "Indeed, We were with you." Is not Allah most knowing of what is within the breasts of all creatures?

Open in Qurani

(Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah…) [29:10]. Said Mujahid: “This verse was revealed about some people who declared faith with their tongues. However, when Allah tested them with trials or calamities regarding their own persons, they succumbed”. Said al-Dahhak: “This verse was revealed about some Meccan hypocrites who displayed faith but showed their belief in idolatry whenever they were harmed”. ‘Ikrimah also reported that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “This verse was revealed about the believers who were expelled to Badr by the idolaters and so they renounced their faith. It is about these people that the verse (Lo! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they wrong themselves…) [4:97] was revealed”.
