Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Al-Ahzab 33:18

Surah Al-Ahzab 33:18



ﱫ ﱬ ﱭ ﱮ ﱯ ﱰ ﱱ ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ

Already Allah knows the hinderers among you and those [hypocrites] who say to their brothers, "Come to us," and do not go to battle, except for a few,

Allah tells,

قد يعلم الله المعوقين منكم والقايلين ﻻخوانهم

Allah already knows those among you who keep back (men) from fighting (in Allah's cause), and those who say to their brethren, Allah tells us that His knowledge encompasses those who sought to tell others not to go out and who said to their brethren, meaning their companions, friend and acquaintances,

هلم إلينا

Come here towards us, meaning, come to where we are in the shade and enjoying fruits. But in spite of that,

وﻻ يٲتون البٲس إﻻ قليﻼ
