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)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah; [1] and He is the Most-Exalted, the Most-Wise. It is He who expelled those who disbelieved among the People of the Book[1] from their settlements when they were first compelled to emigrate (ḥashr). [2] You did not think they that would leave and they thought that their castles would protect them from Allah, so the command of Allah came from where they did not even expect, and it cast awe into their hearts; and they abandon their homes with their own hands and the hands of the Muslims. So learn a lesson, O people of insight!

Commentary

[1]

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)

[2]

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.

The exile of Banū Naḍīr was their first emigration.
