Don't befriend outsiders who wish to harm you (L-446)
|
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا۟ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِى صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ. 118 |

118. O you who believe! Do not befriend outsiders who
never cease to wish you harm. They love to see you suffer. Hatred has already
appeared from their mouths, but what their hearts conceal is worse. We have
made the messages clear for you, if you understand. |
In connection with the purpose to reveal this verse, description about both the groups i.e. the Jews and the Hypocrites has been mentioned. This narration has been written about the first mentioned group, that before Islam, those Muslims who had friendly relationships with the Jews based on the neighborhood, remained as usually they were even after Islam. Trusting in their friendship, the Muslims used to tell them also some confidential and secret matters/suggestions.
Concerning the Hypocrites, it is narrated that due to considering them as Muslims, usually the Believers were careless from them and used to tell them their (Muslims) secrets. Likewise, there was fear of severe loss from them.
To save the Muslims from the evil of the Jews and the Hypocrites, here it has been described clearly that the Muslims should not take for intimates others than the Muslims, because no other group is well-wisher of the Muslims, whether they are Jews or Christians, Hypocrites or Idolaters. Nevertheless, these people remain in effort always to harm the Muslims, involve them in the religious and worldly mischief. They become happy when the Muslims remain in difficulty and calamity.
God commands
that the enmity and hatred, which are hidden in their breasts, are
greater. Usually they love to hamper you. Sometimes their
feelings of suffocation and hatred are revealed by the utterance of their
mouths, which disclose their deep enmity clearly. Their tongues do not remain
in their control due to rivalry and jealousy. Therefore, a wise person should
not take such distrustful enemies for his/her intimates.
