An-Nisa 81: They say; “(In obedience) Yes Sir!” But when they leave you, a group among them secretly plots something else (at night). And Allah writes what they have secretly plotted. Disregard them and trust in Allah. As a guardian, Allah is sufficient for you.

They say; “(In obedience) Yes Sir!” But when they leave you, a group among them secretly plots something else (at night). And Allah writes what they have secretly plotted. Disregard them and trust in Allah. As a guardian, Allah is sufficient for you.

Tafsir

People listen to what the Prophet says, and when they leave him, they criticize him and Islam for what they have heard, but at the same time, out of weakness of faith, they believe in the truth of what they have been told according to their own minds, and they cannot show complete submission. They entertain doubts in their own minds. Allah knows their condition. They spread what you have said falsely, according to their own minds, in the way they understand it, so do not let their words upset you. We write about what everyone is doing.

(Do not let their talk and their difficulties be a burden to you. You never know when and where guidance will reach people. Be patient," invites the Prophet to be patient with the people who have not yet been guided among those who will not believe. Allah also says to the people: Have patience with those who talk back and forth about you. There may be those who condemn the straight path you have taken, or who do not agree with what you have done, but be patient with them. Advise the truth. If they have a destiny in their nature to embrace Islam, they too will one day realize what they have done and be guided. Because you have been the cause of the salvation of these people by setting an example for them on the good and right path, one day these people who have attained guidance will also be the cause of others attaining guidance by setting an example for others. Seek salvation with patience and put your trust in Allah without straying from the path of Allah. Put your trust in Allah alone and lean on Him, for He is the best of Mawla and the best of support.

What is said in the video

Verse 81 of Surah An-Nisa.

They say 'at your command', it says; they say 'at your command'. Who? Those whose faith is weak. Or the polytheists. Here, out of a good opinion, we did not take the polytheists into account.

First, after Islam, we spoke of the polytheists. Like this: they say 'at your command', but when they leave you, some of them secretly plot something other than what you said. Secretly plot. And Allah records what they secretly plot.

Do not mind them and rely on Allah; Allah suffices you as a guardian, it says. Do not mind them. Yes. We too, in line with these verses, because of the slanders people have made against us, do not mind them. Before us is Allah's book. Relying on this book we find peace. Because what does it say? In the verse Allah Almighty, Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Even if all people turn away from you and leave you alone, say: Allah, Lord of the heavens and the earth and the great Throne, suffices me, say, He says. Of course, even if the heavens and the earth and what is between them turn their backs on me, Allah, Lord of that great Throne, of this universe, suffices me.

Therefore those who try, with such fabrications and slanders, to throw falsehood upon the truth, we do not mind. We find peace in our Lord. Because we know that with the verses we are on a straight path. Since what people say is the opposite of the verses, since the verses (?), the words refute it at once, and where they stand becomes clear.

People listen to the prophet's words; when they leave him, about what they heard, against him and Islam they both start criticizing and, from weakness of faith, by their own reasoning believe in the rightness of what they say and cannot show full submission. This happens always, in every age. People grow up within a certain capacity. Then those who explain the truth go against that capacity.

Out of that faith, the strength of faith, one who believes in Allah and His Messenger throws away the knowledge in his own mind and, by the Prophet's knowledge, is governed at once. But if faith is weak, he starts comparing. And he starts doubting about prophethood. Yes. Allah knows their state.

What you say, they spread falsely, wrongly, as they understood it by their own reasoning. Let their words not grieve you. We are recording what everyone does, it says. We are recording what everyone does. So about us too, (?) whenever they want, it does not grieve us. Our Lord's... truly, those who attack us over these verses and, with their false beliefs, without proof and without warrant, having no evidence in hand, against the verses confront us, we do not mind. Because to our Lord we (?). He suffices us. Do not mind them and rely on Allah, it says. Look how beautiful. There. The same feelings.

The same feelings. Their talking in this way, their making things hard for you, let it not daunt you.

What He says to the Prophet He also says to the Prophet's heirs. This is a verse. Both a verse and a command to people.

Our Lord's command to them. A command to the prophets and at the same time to the heirs.

Where and when guidance will reach people is not known. Saying 'be patient', He invites the Prophet, toward people not yet guided, to be patient.

We too try to be patient, but in us too, after all, at some point it overflows. That is, even if that overflow does not turn into violence, it causes sorrow in our hearts. Sorrow.

Allah to people, to you, with you: about you, those who talk carelessly, be patient with them. Those who condemn the straight path you hold, or who do not approve of what you do, may appear. Don't they? We explain and explain, they don't want to understand. We recite the verses. Although we explain the truth in line with the verses, by their own reasoning, without relying on any evidence, slanders begin. Well, what shall we do now? We shall be patient.

Be patient with them. Recommend the truth. If in his nature he has a destiny to embrace Islam, he too will (?) understand what he did and attain guidance. When you, on the good and right path, set an example to them and become a means for these people's salvation, a day comes when this person who is (?) guidance also, by setting an example to others, becomes a means for the others to attain guidance. Seize salvation with patience and, without leaving Allah's path, put your trust in Allah. Trust in Allah alone and rely on Him. What an excellent Protector and what an excellent Guardian He is. (?) to Allah.
