Surah Al-Hujurat (الحجرات)
The Rooms · Medinan · 18 ayahs · Juz 26
- 49:1
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
O you who have Imaan! Never proceed (rush) ahead of Allaah and His Rasool ﷺ. (Never do anything or comment on anything until Allaah and Rasulullaah ﷺ have issued directives concerning the matter). Fear Allaah, for verily Allaah is All Hearing, All Knowing.
- 49:2
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَرْفَعُوٓا۟ أَصْوَٰتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ وَلَا تَجْهَرُوا۟ لَهُۥ بِٱلْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَن تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ
O you who have Imaan! Never raise your voices above the voice of the Rasool ﷺ (literally and figuratively) and do not speak to him loudly as you speak loudly with each other, lest your deeds be laid to waste without your realising it.
- 49:3
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَغُضُّونَ أَصْوَٰتَهُمْ عِندَ رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱمْتَحَنَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ ۚ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ
Verily those who lower their voices with Rasulullaah ﷺ are the ones whose hearts Allaah has (examined and) purified for Taqwa (tested for piety). They shall have forgiveness and a tremendous reward (of sincerity and devotion.) (Taqwa also implies revering the Quraan, the Rasul ﷺ, Salaat, Kaabah).
- 49:4
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُنَادُونَكَ مِن وَرَآءِ ٱلْحُجُرَٰتِ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
(Referring to some people who shouted for Rasulullaah ﷺ from outside his quarters, Allaah says,) Indeed most of those who call for you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) from outside the rooms (of your wives) have no understanding (of etiquette, because of which they did not respect your privacy).
- 49:5
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
If (instead of shouting for you) they had exercised patience until you came out to (meet) them, it would have been best for them (because they would then not have been guilty of invading the privacy of Allaah's Rasool). (However,) Allaah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful (and will forgive them if they sincerely repent).
- 49:6
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِن جَآءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌۢ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓا۟ أَن تُصِيبُوا۟ قَوْمًۢا بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا۟ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَـٰدِمِينَ
O you who have Imaan! If any sinner (or anyone else) brings you any news, then verify (investigate it to establish the truth) it, lest you should harm any nation unknowingly (because of being misinformed) and then become remorseful (regretful) over your actions. (In this manner, false news will be nipped in the bud.)
- 49:7
وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ لَوْ يُطِيعُكُمْ فِى كَثِيرٍ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِيمَـٰنَ وَزَيَّنَهُۥ فِى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَكَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ ٱلْكُفْرَ وَٱلْفُسُوقَ وَٱلْعِصْيَانَ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلرَّٰشِدُونَ
(Addressing the Sahabah رضي الله تعالى عنهم, Allaah says,) Know well that the Rasool of Allaah is in your midst (referring to the time when he lived with them). There are many matters which you would place you in difficulty if he (the Rasool ﷺ) were to obey you (for the Rasool ﷺ acts on the orders of Allaah) people concerning them. However, Allaah has made Imaan beloved to you, has made it beautiful within your hearts and has made kufr, sin and disobedience abhorrent (extremely disgusting) to you. Such people (with these qualities) are rightly guided.
