بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

63.4

وَ اِذَا رَاَیْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ اَجْسَامُهُمْؕ-وَ اِنْ یَّقُوْلُوْا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْؕ-كَاَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌؕ-یَحْسَبُوْنَ كُلَّ صَیْحَةٍ عَلَیْهِمْؕ-هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْؕ-قٰتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ٘-اَنّٰى یُؤْفَكُوْنَ(4)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And when you see them, their (outward) bodies would please you; and if they speak, so you would listen carefully to their speech, as if they are wooden panels propped up against a wall (unable to stand on their own); they think every shout is against them; they are the (worst) enemies, so beware of them; may Allah slay them, where are they returning to?

Commentary

ʿAbdullāh ibn Ubayy, the famous hypocrite, was a healthy, handsome and eloquent man. Most of his associates were similar to him. People would be amazed at their physical appearance and their speech. This verse has mentioned the reality of these hypocrites: despite people being amazed at their appearance and speech, the reality is that these hypocrites are like timbers leaning against a wall. Just as timber is a lifeless object that cannot think, the hypocrites do not have the essence of faith or the true understanding to think of their fate.
