36:15

إِذْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱثْنَيْنِ فَكَذَّبُوهُمَا فَعَزَّزْنَا بِثَالِثٍ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّآ إِلَيْكُم مُّرْسَلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

When We sent to them two Messengers, and they rejected them both; so We strengthened them by a third, and they said, ‘Verily we have been sent to you as Messengers.’

English - Five Volume Translation

When We sent to them two Messengers, and they rejected them both; so We strengthened them by a third, and they said, 'Verily we have been sent to you as Messengers.’[3223]

Commentary:

The verse by way of introduction to the main subject makes a brief reference to two great Israelite Prophets, Moses and Jesus, one the Founder, and the other the great exponent of the Jewish Dispensation.

If the word القریة in the preceding verse may be taken as referring to Mecca, the two Messengers mentioned in the verse under comment will be Abraham and Ishmael.

The reference in the words "a third," in the expression "We strengthened them by third," seems to be to the Holy Prophet who testified to the truth of both Moses and Jesus and also to that of Abraham and Ishmael. The word ثالث (a third) has been used as a نکرة in order to signify the greatness of the third Prophet, the Holy Prophet.

The Holy Prophet "strengthened" Moses and Jesus, also Abraham and Ishmael by testifying to the truth of their missions and by fulfilling in his person the prophecies they had made about his advent (Deut. 18:18 & Matt. 21:33-46).

English - Short Commentary Translation

When We sent to them two Messengers[2433] they rejected them both; so We strengthened them by a third;[2434] and they said, ‘Verily, we have been sent to you as Messengers.’

Moses and Jesus or Abraham and Ishmael.

The Holy Prophet 'strengthened' Moses and Jesus by fulfilling in his person the prophecies they had made about his advent (Deut.18: 18 & Matt. 21: 33-46). And he 'strengthened' Abraham and Ishmael because in his person was fulfilled their prayer referred to in 2:129, 130.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

جب ہم نے ان کی طرف دو (رسول) بھیجے تو انہوں نے دونوں کو جھٹلا دیا۔ پس ہم نے تیسرے کے ذریعہ (انہیں) تقویت بخشی۔ پھر انہوں نے کہا یقیناً ہم تمہاری طرف بھیجے گئے ہیں۔

French

Quand Nous leur envoyâmes deux Messagers, et qu’ils les rejetèrent tous les deux ; Nous les renforçâmes donc par un troisième, et ils dirent : « En vérité, nous avons été envoyés vers vous en tant que Messagers. »

German

Als Wir zwei zu ihnen schickten, verwarfen sie beide; da stärkten Wir (sie) durch einen dritten, und sie sprachen: "Wir sind zu euch entsandt worden."

Italian

Quando inviammo loro due messaggeri, li respinsero ambedue. Così Noi li rafforzammo con un terzo. E quelli dissero: «In verità, siamo stati inviati a voi come messaggeri.»

Spanish

Cuando les enviamos a dos Mensajeros, y les rechazaron a ambos; por tanto les fortalecimos con un tercero, y dijeron: “En verdad, hemos sido enviados a vosotros como Mensajeros”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یعنی جس وقت ہم نے پہلے تو ان کی طرف دو رسول بھیجے لیکن انہوں نے ان دونوں کا انکار کر دیا‘ اس پر ہم نے پہلے دو رسولوں کو ایک تیسرا رسول بھیج کر طاقت[1] بخشی پھر ان سب نے مل کر اپنی قوم سے کہا کہ ہم تمہاری طرف ایک پیغام لیکر تمہارے رب کی طرف سے بھیجے گئے ہیں۔

اِس آیت میں کہا گیا ہے کہ ہم نے دو رسول پہلے بھیجے۔ پھر ان کو تقویت دینے کے لئے تیسرا بھیجا۔ جس کے معنے یہ ہیں کہ وہ تیسرا رسول بھی وہی باتیں کرتا تھا جو پہلے کرتے تھے ورنہ اگر نئی باتیں کرتا تو ان کو اس سے کیا تقویت ہوتی۔ اس آیت سے ثابت ہے کہ بغیر شریعت کے بھی نبی ہوتا ہے کیونکہ اگر اس سے پہلے کوئی شریعت والے نبی گذرے ہیں اور وہ بھی ان جیسی باتیں کرتا ہے تو اس کے معنے یہی بن سکتے ہیں کہ وہ اپنی قوم سے کہتا ہے کہ تم بھی ان کی شریعت پر عمل کرو۔ میں انہی کی شریعت قائم کرنے کے لئے آیا ہوں۔ کوئی نئی شریعت لے کر نہیں آیا۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

ہم نے ان کی طرف دو رسول بھیجے اور انہوں نے دونوں کو جھٹلا دیا پھر ہم نے تیسرا مدد کے لیے بھیجا اور ان سب نے کہا "ہم تمہاری طرف رسول کی حیثیت سے بھیجے گئے ہیں"
