Surah Al Imran Ayat 122 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

268. Both the Bani Salma from Khazraj and Bani Harith from Aus were Ansaars who had intended to run from the battlefield because they thought it was expedient to do so. This was an interpretative error on their part. From this we learn that intention of sin or sin itself does not exclude a person from the mercy of Allah Almighty or Faith, because although the intention of cowardice in a battle is an intention of a major sin but yet Allah Almighty says: "Allah is their supporter." Indeed, Allah Almighty is the supporter of Believers only, not the non-believers. If anyone says anything ill about them, he would be a disbeliever.

Ibn-Kathir

(3:122) And recall when two groups from among you were inclined to flag[95] although Allah was their protector; it is in Allah that the believers should put their trust.
