بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

60.8-9

لَا یَنْهٰىكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ لَمْ یُقَاتِلُوْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ وَ لَمْ یُخْرِجُوْكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِكُمْ اَنْ تَبَرُّوْهُمْ وَ تُقْسِطُوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِیْنَ(8) اِنَّمَا یَنْهٰىكُمُ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الَّذِیْنَ قٰتَلُوْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ وَ اَخْرَجُوْكُمْ مِّنْ دِیَارِكُمْ وَ ظٰهَرُوْا عَلٰۤى اِخْرَاجِكُمْ اَنْ تَوَلَّوْهُمْۚ-وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَلَّهُمْ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(9)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Allah does not forbid you from those[1] who did not fight you in religion and did not expel you from your homes that you treat them kindly and be just to them. Allah indeed loves the just. [2] Allah only forbids you from befriending those who fought you in religion and expelled you from your homes and aided your expulsion. And whosoever befriends them, then it is they who are the oppressors.

Commentary

Doing good with the disbelievers can manifest itself in three forms: 1. The highest form: intending to merely benefit a disbeliever without any correct purpose; 2. The intermediate form: doing good due to self-interest, such as giving a disbeliever something in return for what you were given or providing some financial assistance to a disbeliever due to kinship; 3. The lowest form: in the interest of Islam and Muslims, giving something as part of a military stratagem.

In this verse, the middle form is intended, because it is prohibited to establish the highest form even with the disbeliever with whom there is an agreement, and the lowest form is even permitted with the disbeliever with whom there is no agreement.
