وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةًۭ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ ۚ أَفَبِٱلْبَٰطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ ٱللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ

سُورَةُ النَّحۡلِ
English — Sahih International
And Allah has made for you from yourselves mates and has made for you from your mates sons and grandchildren and has provided for you from the good things. Then in falsehood do they believe and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve?
اردو — مودودی
اور وہ اللہ ہی ہے جس نے تمہارے لیے تمہاری ہم جنس بیویاں بنائیں اور اسی نے ان بیویوں سے تمہیں بیٹے پوتے عطا کیے اور اچھی اچھی چیزیں تمہیں کھانے کو دیں پھر کیا یہ لوگ (یہ سب کچھ دیکھتے اور جانتے ہوئے بھی) باطل کو مانتے ہیں اور اللہ کے احسان کا انکار کرتے ہیں
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Allah menjadikan bagi kamu isteri-isteri dari jenis kamu sendiri dan menjadikan bagimu dari isteri-isteri kamu itu, anak-anak dan cucu-cucu, dan memberimu rezeki dari yang baik-baik. Maka mengapakah mereka beriman kepada yang bathil dan mengingkari nikmat Allah?"
Ibn Kathir
Among His Blessings and Signs are Mates, Children and Grandchildren
Allah mentions the blessing He has bestowed upon His servant by giving them mates from among themselves, mates of their own kind. If He had given them mates of another kind, there would be no harmony, love and mercy between them. But out of His mercy He has made the Children of Adam male and female, and has made the females wives or mates for the males. Then Allah mentions that from these wives He creates children and grandchildren, one's children's children. This was the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak and Ibn Zayd. Shu`bah said, narrating from Abu Bishr from Sa`id bin Jubayr from Ibn `Abbas: "Children and grandchildren, who are one's children and one's children's children." It was also said that this means servants and helpers, or it means sons-in-law or in-laws. I say: if we understand
وَحَفَدَةً
(grandsons) to refer back to wives, then it must mean children, children's children, and sons-in-law, because they are the husbands of one's daughter or the children of one's wife.
وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ
(and has granted you good provisions.) meaning your food and drink. Then Allah denounces those who associate others in worship with the One Who bestows blessings on them:
أَفَبِالْبَـطِلِ يُؤْمِنُونَ
(Do they then believe in false deities), meaning idols and rivals to Allah
وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللَّهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُونَ
(and deny the favor of Allah) meaning, by concealing the blessings that Allah has given them and attributing them to others. According to a Sahih Hadith, the Prophet said:
«إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ لِلْعَبْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُمْتَنًّا عَلَيْهِ: أَلَمْ أُزَوِّجْكَ؟ أَلَمْ أُكْرِمْكَ؟ أَلَمْ أُسَخِّرْ لَكَ الْخَيْلَ وَالْإِبِلَ، وَأَذَرْكَ تَرْأَسُ وَتَرْبَعُ؟»
(Allah will say to His servant on the Day of Resurrection, reminding him of His blessings: "Did I not give you a wife Did I not honor you Did I not subject horses and camels to your use, and cause you to occupy a position of leadership and honor")
المُيَسَّر
والله سبحانه جعل مِن جنسكم أزواجا؛ لتستريح نفوسكم معهن، وجعل لكم منهن الأبناء ومِن نسلهنَّ الأحفاد، ورزقكم من الأطعمة الطيبة من الثمار والحبوب واللحوم وغير ذلك. أفبالباطل من ألوهية شركائهم يؤمنون، وبنعم الله التي لا تحصى يجحدون، ولا يشكرون له بإفراده جل وعلا بالعبادة؟
