Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."
Tafsir
Verse range: 9:24
قل إن كان آباوكم وأبناوكم وإخوانكم وأزواجكم وعشيرتكم وأموال اقترفتموها
Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, (amassed and collected),
وتجارة تخشون كسادها ومساكن ترضونها
the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight, and prefer and love because they are comfortable and good. If all these things,
أحب إليكم من الله ورسوله وجهاد في سبيله فتربصوا
are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His cause, then wait... for what will befall you of Allah's punishment and torment,
حتى يٲتي الله بٲمره والله ﻻ يهدي القوم الفاسقين
until Allah brings about His decision. And Allah guides not the people who are rebellious. Imam Ahmad recorded that Zuhrah bin Ma`bad said that his grandfather said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah, while he was holding the hand of Umar bin Al-Khattab. Umar said, `By Allah! You, O Messenger of Allah, are dearer to me than everything, except for myself.' The Messenger of Allah said,
ﻻ يومن أحدكم حتى أكون أحب إليه من نفسه
None among you will attain faith until I become dearer to him than even himself. Umar said, `Verily, now, you are dearer to me than myself, by Allah!' The Messenger of Allah said,
اﻻن يا عمر
(Now, O `Umar)!'' Al-Bukhari also collected this Hadith. Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud (this is the version of Abu Dawud) recorded that Ibn Umar said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,
إذا تبايعتم بالعينة وأخذتم بٲذناب البقر ورضيتم بالزرع وتركتم الجهاد سلط الله عليكم ذﻻ ﻻ ينزعه حتى ترجعوا إلى دينكم
If you transact in `Iynah (a type of Riba), follow the tails of cows (tilling the land), become content with agriculture and abandoned Jihad, Allah will send on you disgrace that He will not remove until, you return to your religion.''
