فَاِنۡ کَذَّبُوۡکَ فَقُل رَّبُّکُمۡ ذُوۡ رَحۡمَۃٍ وّٰسِعَۃٍ وَّلَا یُرَدُّ بَاۡسُہٗ عَنِ الۡقَوۡمِ الۡمُجۡرِمِیۡنَ

Commentary:
The verse answers an implied objection of the Jews, viz. if God had forbidden them certain extra things, why was not the prohibition continued in Islam? The verse answers this objection by saying that whereas the divine law of punishment demanded that Jews should be punished, the law of mercy demanded that Muslims should be shown mercy. It was unfair to continue a special prohibition that had been imposed by way of punishment under a new dispensation.

وَاِنۡ کَذَّبُوۡکَ فَقُل لِّیۡ عَمَلِیۡ وَلَکُمۡ عَمَلُکُمۡ ۖ اَنۡتُمۡ بَرِیۡٓـُٔوۡنَ مِمَّاۤ اَعۡمَلُ وَاَنَا۠ بَرِیۡٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ

Commentary:
This verse throws interesting light on the catholicity and broad-mindedness of Islam. Disbelievers are told here that if they prefer to reject the Holy Prophet, they are at perfect liberty to do so. In fact, whenever there exists a difference of views between two parties, each party has the right to show the other to be in error. But this difference should not be allowed to go further, and one party should not compel the other party to accept its views.
The verse declares that when it is well known that believers and disbelievers are two distinct and separate parties and there is no likelihood of the one being mistaken for the other, and when their ways of working are also different, then there is no reason why compulsion should be resorted to. Compulsion may only be exercised when the conduct of one party is likely to bring discredit to the other party. But, situated as they are, the works of a Prophet and of his followers bring no discredit to disbelievers, nor do the actions of disbelievers bring any discredit to believers. Therefore, there is no justification for either of the two classes to bring compulsion to bear on the other.
The verse is also capable of another interpretation. It may mean that the works of the Holy Prophet are quite distinct from those of the disbelievers and there is no similarity between the two. This being so, the result would show whose works are right and whose wrong. When there is similarity between the works of two parties, it is difficult to determine definitely the cause of the progress or degeneration, as the case may be, of one party or the other. But when there exists absolutely no similarity between the works of two parties, everybody is in a position to fix responsibility for the result.

فَاِنۡ رَّجَعَکَ اللّٰہُ اِلٰی طَآئِفَۃٍ مِّنۡہُمۡ فَاسۡتَـٔۡذَنُوۡکَ لِلۡخُرُوۡجِ فَقُل لَّنۡ تَخۡرُجُوۡا مَعِیَ اَبَدًا وَّلَنۡ تُقٰتِلُوۡا مَعِیَ عَدُوًّا ۖ اِنَّکُمۡ رَضِیۡتُمۡ بِالۡقُعُوۡدِ اَوَّلَ مَرَّۃٍ فَاقۡعُدُوۡا مَعَ الۡخٰلِفِیۡنَ
Commentary:
The verse was probably revealed when the Holy Prophet was away from Medina during his expedition to Tabuk. But if, as some commentators think, it was revealed after his return to Medina, it would be taken to allude to what the hypocrites previously used to say regarding the said expedition. They thought that he would never return from the expedition alive. So the Quran, in this verse reminds them of what they used to say about the Holy Prophet, and of his safe return, contrary to their expectation.
The particle ان (if), it should be noted, does not always express doubt but is often used as simply a conditional particle. Moreover, it is sometimes used not from the point of view of the speaker, but from that of the person addressed. The word is here used by God and it is obvious that God had no doubt as to the safe return of the Prophet. So it must be taken to express the state of mind of the hypocrites.

وَاِمَّا تُعۡرِضَنَّ عَنۡہُمُ ابۡتِغَآءَ رَحۡمَۃٍ مِّنۡ رَّبِّکَ تَرۡجُوۡہَا فَقُل لَّہُمۡ قَوۡلًا مَّیۡسُوۡرًا
93:10-11.
یعنی تیرا اعراض اپنے رشتہ داروں سے بخل کی وجہ سے نہ ہو بلکہ اس لئے ہو کہ میں خداتعالیٰ سے کشائش مانگ رہا ہوں اور مجھے اُمید ہے کہ وہ مجھے حاصل ہو جائے گی اس وقت تک میں مجبوراً بادل ناخواستہ ان سے اعراض کرتا ہوں۔
Help may sometimes be denied to a seemingly needy person when it is feared that the giving of it would have an adverse effect upon him; for instance, he may be a professional beggar or may be addicted to some bad habit. In such a case a word of good cheer may be used to give comfort to the beggar.
93:10-11.
Important Words:
میسورا (gentle) is derived from یسرi.e. he was or became gentle, docile and submissive or easy; it was or became little in quantity; paltry or of no weight or worth; he divided anything into parts or portions. They say یسرت المرأة i.e. the woman had an easy birth. The Arabs say خذ میسورة ودع معسورة i.e. take thou what is easy and leave thou what is difficult. میسور means, easy, kind, successful, etc. When applied to a saying or speech it means gentle. Thus the words قول میسور mean, gentle speech (Lane & Aqrab). See also 2:220.
Commentary:
The verse may have two meanings:
(a) If at all we have to turn away from our kinsmen, the poor and the destitute, it should be with the intention of rendering them help on a future occasion when God, out of His Mercy, may give us the means to do so. Even in such a case we should speak to them a word of good cheer which should comfort them.
(b) Help may sometimes be denied to a seemingly needy person when it is feared that the giving of it would have an adverse effect upon him; for instance, he may be a professional beggar or may be addicted to some bad habit.
