72:7

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

[a]“Indeed some men from among the common folk used to seek the protection of some men from among the jinn, and they thus increased the latter in arrogance;[4401]

6:129.

Important Words:

رھقاً (arrogance) is derived from رھق (rahiqa) which means, he was or became stupid and frivolous; he did wrong, abominable things; he told a lie. رھق (rahqun) means, wrongdoing, injustice, tyrannical conduct; sin; levity; compelling or urging a person to do a thing which he is not able to do; folly; arrogance or pride (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

As the word رجال is used only with regard to human beings, the verse shows that "a company of the jinn,” mentioned in this and in Surah Ahqaf were human beings and not any other species of creation. Moreover, جن here may signify big or influential men and إنس lowly and humble ones who by following the former and seeking their protection increase their conceit and arrogance.

English - Short Commentary Translation

[a]‘And, indeed, some men[3139] from among the common folk used to seek the protection of some men from among the jinn, and thus they increased the jinn in arrogance,

6:129.

As the word Rijal is used only with regard to human beings, the verse shows that 'a company of the jinn,' mentioned in this and in Surah Al-Ahqaf were human beings and not any other species of creation. The Arabic word jinn here may signify big or influential men and Ins lowly and humble ones who, by following the former and seeking their protection, increase their conceit and arrogance.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور یقیناً عوام النّاس میں سے کئی ایسے تھے جو بڑے لوگوں کی پناہ میں آ جاتے تھے پس اُنہوں نے اُن کو بداعمالی اور جہالت میں بڑھا دیا۔

French

Et en vérité, il y avait des hommes parmi les gens ordinaires qui cherchaient la protection de certains hommes parmi ceux considérés comme des grands, et ils ont ainsi fait ces derniers persister davantage dans leurs mauvaises actions et leur imbécillité,

German

Und freilich pflegten einige Leute unter den gewöhnlichen Menschen bei einigen Leuten unter den Jinn Schutz zu suchen, so dass sie (letztere) in ihrer Bosheit bestärkten;

Chinese

[a]“的确, (普通) 人中有些人[1500]常常寻求精纳 (大人物) 中一些人的保护, 这样, 他们就增加了精纳的骄傲,

6:129.

因为 رِجَال (Rijal) 这个字只用于人, 所以这节经文表示这里和在 «沙丘» 一章所提到的 “一伙精纳” 是人, 不是其他种类的创造。这里的阿拉伯字 “精纳” (Jinn) 可以指巨大的或有影响的人; اِنْس (Ins) 指卑下而贱微的人, 他们追随精纳, 寻求他们的保护, 使自己更加骄傲自大。

Italian

In verità, alcuni uomini tra la gente comune cercavano la protezione di alcuni uomini tra i Ğinn e così aumentavano questi ultimi nel loro orgoglio.

Spanish

“Y en verdad, algunos hombres de entre el pueblo llano solían buscar a protección de algunos hombres pertenecientes a los Yinn, y así aumentaron el orgullo de estos últimos”;

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور پھر یہ بھی حقیقت ہے کہ انسانوں میں سے کچھ لوگ ایسے تھے جو جنوں میں سے کچھ افراد کی پناہ مانگا کرتے تھے سو اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہوا (کہ انسانوں کے جنوں کی پناہ مانگنے نے) جنوں کو تکبر میں اور بھی بڑھا دیا۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور یہ کہ "انسانوں میں سے کچھ لوگ جنوں میں سے کچھ لوگوں کی پناہ مانگا کرتے تھے، اِس طرح اُنہوں نے جنوں کا غرور اور زیادہ بڑھا دیا"

English - Sahih

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اورکچھ آدمی جنوں کے مردوں سے پناہ لیاکرتے تھے سو انہوں نے ان کی سرکشی اور بڑھا دی

English - Talal Itani

And that (there) were men among mankind who sought refuge in (the) men from the jinn, so they increased them (in) burden.
