Fulfilling own vow to the death

Chapter “’Al-‘Ahzaab” - (The Clans) - 33

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَىٰ نَحْبَهُۥ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا۟ تَبْدِيلًا 23b  لِّيَجْزِىَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ بِصِدْقِهِمْ وَيُعَذِّبَ ٱلْمُنَٰفِقِينَ إِن شَآءَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا 24  

                                       

23b.  Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least – 24.  That Allah may reward the true men for their truth, and punish the hypocrites if He will, or relent toward them (if He will). Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

23b.  Fa-minhum-man-  qazaa  nahbahuu  wa  minhum-  many-yantazir.  Wa  maa  badda-luu  tabdiilaa. 24.  LiyajziyAllaahus-Saadiqiina  bi-Sidqihim  wa  yu-‘azzibal-Munaafiqiina  ‘in-  shaaa-‘a  ‘aw  yatuuba  ‘alayhim.  ‘InnAllaaha  kaana  Gafuurar-Rahiimaa.

Commentary

Nahbun – (vow, death), it aims “a solemn promise to Allaah Almighty, which one takes responsibility to fulfill, that is to say, one accepts that he will sacrifice his life for the cause of Allaah Almighty”.

It is commanded: During every trouble, fear or danger, the Believers did put a bold front and went forth; accordingly some of them were martyred or fulfilled their right of companionship - as Hamza (May Allaah be pleased with him) {an uncle of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)} was martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and many of them did put their lives in troubles and protected the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him). They did not break their promises but fulfilled the terms of their commitment. Whatever they said, was true. In future, Allaah Almighty will give full remuneration to the sincere and true Believers due to their purity and sincerity.

However, Allaah Almighty will either punish them with a painful doom who claimed that they were believers while they were deceivers and who broke their promises, or He will bestow them chance to repent and engage His attention towards them.

These entire Words were fulfilled in the world as well as will be fulfilled in the Hereafter too according to the Promise of Allaah Almighty.
