Transliteration:( Fa a'qabahum nifaaqan fee quloobihim ilaa Yawmi yalqaw nahoo bimaaa akhlaful laaha maa wa'adoohu wa bimaa kaanoo yak ziboon )
213. By this is meant until death, because after death no infidel nor any hypocrite would remain in the Barzakh world of graves all will accept faith but their faith would not be accepted.Â
From this we learnt that the death of Thaalbah on hypocrisy and apostasy is certain and categorical. His going with Zakaat again and again too was hypocritical and not based on sincerety. It is for this reason the Holy Prophet and the two Caliphs refused to accept that wealth. Had he presented it with sincere repentance it would certainly have been accepted because repentance from infidelity too is accepted
214. This tells us at times some sins cause defeat in faith. We further learn to remember Allah Almighty in your poverty, to forget Him in your affluence, or fail to fulfil your promise and offering are all signs of hypocrisy.
In addition the greatest punishment of Allah Almighty is to be deprived from piety and faith. Worldly tribulations are sometimes a blessing from Allah Almighty. We further learn that a promise to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is a promise to Allah Almighty because Thaalbah had made a promise to the Holy prophetÂ
