[63] Surah Al-Munafiqun [The Hypocrites]
Ayat 4. And (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH), when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words. They are as blocks of wood propped up. They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allah curse them! How are they denying (or deviating from) the Right Path?
Tafseer of Surah Al-Munafiqun Ayat 4. When thou look at them, their exteriors please thee; and when they speak, thou listen to their words. They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)! The Hypocrites at all times are plausible people, and so were the Hypocrites of Madinah. They present a fine exterior; they dress well; they can usually afford fine equipages; they try to win the confidence of everyone, as they have no scruples in telling lies, and apparently expressing agreement with everyone. Their words are fair-spoken, and as truth does not check their tongues, their flattery and deception know no bounds. But all this is on the outside. As they have no sincerity, nothing that they say or do is worth anything. Good timber is strong in itself and can support roofs and buildings. Hollow timber is useless, and has to be propped up against other things. The Hypocrites are like rotten timber. They have no firm character themselves, and for others they are unsafe props to rely upon. Their conscience always troubles them. If any cry is raised, they immediately get alarmed, and think it is against themselves. Such men are worse than open enemies.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Harithah bin Wahb (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) saying, "Shall I not inform you about the people of Jannah? It is every person who is modest and humble (before Allah), a person who is considered weak and is looked down upon but if he adjures Allah, Allah will certainly give him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent, impertinent and proud man". [Al-Bukhari Book 06, Chapter 60, Hadith # 440].
[Muslim Book 06, Chapter 36, Hadith # 2614].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Munafiqun Ayat 04. “when you look at them, their bodies please you; and when they speak, you listen to their words” This Hadith tells us about distinction of such weak, poor and secluded persons who do not have any important position in society but are so eminent in the realm of piety that, out of their utmost trust in Allah, if they take an oath for something, Almighty Allah fulfills their oath. Thus, this Hadith highlights the importance of modesty and condemns pride, miserliness and lust for name and fame.
