Transliteration:( Illaa man zalama summa baddala husnam ba'da sooo'in fa innee Ghafoorur Raheem )

11. Yes, whosoever shows high handedness (21), then substitutes good for evil, then undoubtedly, I am Forgiving, and Merciful (22).

Surah An-Naml Ayat 11 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

21. This is a statement of broken distinction. By it, these persons other than the Prophets are meant, because the Prophets are totally free of sins.

22. This means fear is for those persons who engage in actions that are a mixture of good and evil. Such persons fear the punishment for their evil deeds and hope for forgiveness. You are a true Prophet. You are totally free of sins and therefore you need not fear punishment or any accountability. Through this many issues have been solved.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Naml verse 11 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Naml ayat 7 which provides the complete commentary from verse 7 through 14.

(27:11) except he who has committed some wrong.[14] But if he substitutes good in place of evil, I am Most Forgiving, Most Compassionate.[15]

14. This exception can be contiguous as well as remote. In the first case it will imply that there can be a genuine cause of fear if the messenger has committed an offense; in the second case it will mean: “None should have any cause of fear in My presence, unless, of course, someone has committed an offense.”

15. That is, “If even an offender repents and reforms himself and does good instead of evil, I will pardon him.” This implied both a warning and a good news. The Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) had killed a Copt inadvertently and fled from Egypt. This was an offense to which a subtle reference was made. When this offense was committed unintentionally by the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him), he had immediately offered repentance to Allah, saying, “O my Lord! I have sinned against myself, so forgive me.” So, “Allah forgave him” there and then. (Surah Al-Qasas, Ayat 16). Here the good news of the same forgiveness has been given to him, as if to say, “O Moses, there could be a genuine cause for you to feel afraid in My presence, because you had committed an offense, but when you have changed the evil into good, I have nothing but forgiveness and mercy for you. I have not called you here at this time to punish you, but I am going to send you on a great mission with wonderful miracles.”
