63.5

وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا یَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ لَوَّوْا رُءُوْسَهُمْ وَ رَاَیْتَهُمْ یَصُدُّوْنَ وَ هُمْ مُّسْتَكْبِرُوْنَ(5)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And when it is said to them that 'Come! Allah's Messenger may seek forgiveness for you.' So, they turn their heads sideways and you see them turn their faces away in arrogance.

Commentary

When returning from the expedition of Banī Muṣṭalaq, the arch-hypocrite ʿAbdullāh ibn Ubayy uttered blasphemous and indecent words about the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. However, he took an oath and temporarily saved himself from being brought to account. Once his lie was exposed, it was said to him: “Visit the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and request him to seek forgiveness for you.” Upon listening to this, he turned his head and stated: “You asked me to accept faith, and I did. You asked me to give zakat, and I did. What’s left now, just for me to prostrate to Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم?” It was then that this verse was revealed.
