60.1

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَتَّخِذُوْا عَدُوِّیْ وَ عَدُوَّكُمْ اَوْلِیَآءَ تُلْقُوْنَ اِلَیْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَ قَدْ كَفَرُوْا بِمَا جَآءَكُمْ مِّنَ الْحَقِّۚ-یُخْرِجُوْنَ الرَّسُوْلَ وَ اِیَّاكُمْ اَنْ تُؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ رَبِّكُمْؕ-اِنْ كُنْتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَادًا فِیْ سَبِیْلِیْ وَ ابْتِغَآءَ مَرْضَاتِیْ ﳓ تُسِرُّوْنَ اِلَیْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ ﳓ وَ اَنَا اَعْلَمُ بِمَاۤ اَخْفَیْتُمْ وَ مَاۤ اَعْلَنْتُمْؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْهُ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَآءَ السَّبِیْلِ(1)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

O you who believe! [1] Do not take My enemies and your enemies as friends. You send them news due to friendship while they certainly denied the truth that has come to you. They expel the Messenger and you because you believe in Allah, your Lord. If you truly went forth for to make Jihad in My Way and to seek My pleasure, then do not ally with them, sharing secrets with them out of affection. I know best what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever does this among you has certainly strayed from the straight path.

Commentary

Sayyidunā Ḥāṭib ibn Abī Baltaʿah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was concerned for his family in Makkah, fearing that the disbelievers would harm them. For this reason, in the hope that the Makkan disbelievers would not cause harm to his family, he wrote to them informing them of the Prophet’s preparation for war against them. Allah Almighty informed His Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم of this, and so he retrieved the letter from Banū Hāshim’s maidservant: Sarah. Upon being asked to provide an explanation, Sayyidunā Ḥāṭib رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ presented his excuse for sending the letter, which was accepted by the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This verse was revealed in this context.
