Lesson
The reason of revelation about this verse has been mentioned in its
previous verse that a Muslim had theft, whose name was Ta’mah. With whom (the Jew), he deposited the theft items, his name
was Zayd. When the stealth was
traced, Ta’mah tried to let the
people believe that the thief was Zayd (the
Jew). In the morning, the supporters of Ta’mah
referred the matter to the Messenger of Allaah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and swore that the
thief was Zayd. Ta’mah did not steal. It is being commanded in this verse, “You
should not side with the dishonest and his defenders. They have been
intentionally bent on treachery and a lie, supporting illicit their person, and
Allaah Almighty does not like the
treacherous and wicked people. They are double sinners. They try to save the
thief and secondly they are accusing of theft an innocent person. They fear and
feel shame from the people but do not fear and seek not to hide from Allaah Almighty. He is with them every
time, when by night they hold such discourse, which displeases unto Him. They
can hide from the people but how can hide from Allaah Almighty, Who has surrounded what they do?
Those people are being asked who support illicit, “If in the world you caused
to succeed any person by pleading and using stratagems, and according to your
opinion you arranged a record of stirring deeds to save such person, who was
able to be punished severely, made harmonious other people by saying them that
it was a Muslim’s matter and his honor was more precious than the opposite i.e.
the Jew. If a Muslim is charged with the crime of theft, then he would not be
able to show his face anywhere. Therefore, try to save him as it may be
possible. It is the question of our own honor. If once respect has gone, then
it cannot be gain again”. You did not think that the thief did what he did. Now
you were going to commit a sin by supporting him wrongfully and trying to ensnare
a person who was innocent against that person who was really guilty. No doubt
you did all this in the world by deceiving and telling lies. But on the Day of
Resurrection, when the matter will be produced in the Court of Allaah Almighty, then how will you
support the culprits there and what will be of your cunning deeds?
You can deceive the rulers and judges of this world by providing them false
evidence and lie swearing. On the Doomsday the Ruler will be Allaah (God) Almighty and He is the
Knower of everybody’s heart. There you will not be able to save anyone from
ignominy through your manual dexterity This advocacy and pleader-ship will not
be useful on That Day. Who is such person, who will be lawyer of such people in
His Court, who will fix the true as liar and the liar as true? Then it has been
commanded that the sinner cannot escape from punishment of his bad deeds by the
source of impostures and partiality. It is vain imagination. There is only one
Way for it that he should seek pardon of Allaah
Almighty and apologize for his sins duly accepted.
