بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

59.1-2

سَبَّحَ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِۚ-وَ هُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ(1) هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَخْرَ جَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتٰبِ مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ لِاَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِﳳ-مَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا وَ ظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُوْنُهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ فَاَتٰىهُمُ اللّٰهُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَمْ یَحْتَسِبُوْاۗ-وَ قَذَفَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ یُخْرِبُوْنَ بُیُوْتَهُمْ بِاَیْدِیْهِمْ وَ اَیْدِی الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۗ-فَاعْتَبِرُوْا یٰۤاُولِی الْاَبْصَارِ(2)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth glorifies Allah, and only He is the Most Honourable, the Wise. It is He Who banished the disbelieving People of the Book (i.e. the Jews) from their homes, for their first gathering (i.e. first banishment). You did not think that they would leave, and they thought that their forts would save them from Allah, so Allah's command (i.e. punishment) came to them from a place they had not imagined. And He instilled terror in their hearts, that they (started to) demolish their own homes by their own hands and (also) by the hands of the Muslims; therefore, learn a lesson, O those who can see.

Commentary

Everything glorifies Allah Almighty in its own way, although we cannot perceive it. The effects produced by each thing glorifying Allah Almighty vary. For example, the glorification performed by greenery averts punishment from a grave. We, too, should try to continuously praise Allah Almighty. A hadith states: “Two utterances are easy on the tongue, heavy on the scale, and beloved to the Most Gracious; ˹they are˺, ‘سُبْحَانَ اللّٰہِ وَبِحَمْدِ ہٖ سُبْحَانَ اللّٰہِ الْعَظِیْمِ.’” (Ṣaḥiḥ Al-Bukhārī: 6682)

The background to the incident mentioned here is as follows: the Jews of Banū Naḍīr in Madinah had an agreement with the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم that they would remain neutral in conflict between the State of Madinah and its enemies. However, after seeing Muslim losses in the Expedition of Uhud, they violated the treaty and committed treason against the Madinah State by entering into a military alliance with the Makkan disbelievers against the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Learning of this, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and his troops besieged the Banū Naḍīr, eventually compelling them into exile across Syria, Arihah, and Khaybar.
