سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ
English — Sahih International
How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage that Allah would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
اردو — مودودی
کیسا برا ذریعہ ہے جس سے یہ اپنے نفس کی تسلی حاصل کرتے ہیں کہ جو ہدایت اللہ نے نازل کی ہے، اس کو قبول کرنے سے صرف اِس ضد کی بنا پر انکار کر رہے ہیں کہ اللہ نے اپنے فضل (وحی و رسالت) سے اپنے جس بندے کو خود چاہا، نواز دیا! لہٰذا اب یہ غضب بالائے غضب کے مستحق ہوگئے ہیں اور ایسے کافروں کے لیے سخت آمیز سزا مقرر ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Alangkah buruknya (hasil perbuatan) mereka yang menjual dirinya sendiri dengan kekafiran kepada apa yang telah diturunkan Allah, karena dengki bahwa Allah menurunkan karunia-Nya kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya diantara hamba-hamba-Nya. Karena itu mereka mendapat murka sesudah (mendapat) kemurkaan. Dan untuk orang-orang kafir siksaan yang menghinakan.
Ibn Kathir
Mujahid said,
بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ
(How bad is that for which they have sold their own selves), "The Jews sold the truth for falsehood and hid the truth about Muhammad ." As-Suddi said that the Ayah,
بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْاْ بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ
(How bad is that for which they have sold their own selves) means, "The Jews sold themselves." meaning, what is worse is what they chose for themselves by disbelieving in what Allah revealed to Muhammad instead of believing, aiding and supporting him. This behavior of theirs is the result of their injustice, envy and hatred,
أَن يُنَزِّلُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ
(grudging that Allah should reveal of His grace unto whom He wills of His servants). " There is no envy worse than this. Therefore,
فَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضَبٍ
(So they have drawn on themselves wrath upon wrath). Ibn `Abbas commented on this Ayah, "Allah became angry with them because they ignored some of the Tawrah and disbelieved in the Prophet that He sent to them." I (Ibn Kathir) say that the meaning of,
بَاءُوا
(And they drew on themselves) is that they deserved and acquired multiplied anger. Also, Abu Al-`Aliyah said, "Allah became angry with them, because of their disbelief in the Injil and `Isa and He became angry with them again, because they disbelieved in Muhammad and the Qur'an." Similar was said by `Ikrimah and Qatadah. Allah said,
وَلِلْكَـفِرِينَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
(And for the disbelievers, there is disgracing torment). Since their disbelief was a result of their transgression and envy, which was caused by arrogance, they were punished with disgrace and humiliation in this world and the Hereafter. Similarly, Allah said,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِى سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَخِرِينَ
(Verily, those who scorn My worship (i.e. do not invoke Me, and do not believe in My Oneness) they will surely enter Hell in humiliation!") (40:60) meaning, "Disgraced, degraded and humiliated." Imam Ahmad narrated that `Amr bin Shu`ayb said that his father said that his grandfather said that the Prophet said,
«يُحْشَرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمْثَالَ الذَّرِّ فِي صُوَرِ النَّاسِ، يَعْلُوهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الصِّغَارِ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا سِجْنًا فِي جَهَنَّمَ يُقَالُ لَهُ. بَوْلَسُ تَعْلُوهُمْ نَارُ الْأَنْيَارِ يُسْقَونَ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ عُصَارَةِ أَهْلِ النَّار»
(The arrogant people will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection in the size of ants, but in the shape of men. Everything shall be above them, because of the humiliation placed on them, until they enter a prison in Jahannam called `Bawlas' where the fire will surround them from above. They shall drink from the puss of the people of the Fire.)
المُيَسَّر
قَبُحَ ما اختاره بنو إسرائيل لأنفسهم؛ إذ استبدلوا الكفر بالإيمان ظلمًا وحسدًا لإنزال الله من فضله القرآن على نبي الله ورسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، فرجعوا بغضب من الله عليهم بسبب جحودهم بالنبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، بعد غضبه عليهم بسبب تحريفهم التوراة. وللجاحدين نبوَّة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم عذابٌ يذلُّهم ويخزيهم.
