33:15

وَلَوْ دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَقْطَارِهَا ثُمَّ سُئِلُوا۟ ٱلْفِتْنَةَ لَءَاتَوْهَا وَمَا تَلَبَّثُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَّا يَسِيرًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if entry were effected against them into the town from its environs, and then they were asked to join in the disturbances, they would have at once done so, and would not have tarried in their houses save a little.

English - Five Volume Translation

And if entry were effected, against them into the town from its environs, and then they were asked to join in the disturbance they would have at once done so, and would not have tarried in their houses save a little.[3085]

Commentary:

The present verse unmasks the falsity of excuses of the hypocrites mentioned in the preceding verse, viz. that their houses were exposed and defenceless and, therefore, they were unable to take part in the fighting on the side of Muslims. It purports to say that if an enemy had entered into Medina from another direction and they were invited to make common cause with him against the Muslims, they would have willingly and readily done so. It is because they have been asked in fulfilment of their solemn pledges to fight for Muslims against disbelievers that they advance the lame excuse of their houses being defenceless.

English - Short Commentary Translation

If the enemy were to enter the Town from its environs, and then they were asked to join in the disturbance against the Muslims, they would certainly have done so, and would not have tarried in their houses save a little.[2339]

The verse purports to say that if an enemy had entered into Medina from another direction and the Hypocrites were invited to make common cause with him against the Muslims, they would have willingly and readily done so.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر اُن پر اُس (بستی) کے ہر طرف سے چڑھائی کردی جاتی پھر اُن سے فساد کا مطالبہ کیا جاتا تو وہ ضرور اُس کے مرتکب ہوجاتے اور اُس پر توقّف نہ کرتے مگر معمولی۔

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اگر مدینہ کی مختلف طرفوں سے ان پر (فوجیں) داخل کر دی جائیں اور پھر ان سے (کافروں کی طرف سے) ارتداد کا مطالبہ کیا جائے تو یہ ضرور اس مطالبہ کو قبول کر لیں گے۔ لیکن[1] وہ اس (یعنی مدینہ) میں (اس کے بعد) تھوڑا سا ہی رہنے[2] پائیں گے۔
