The misinterpretation

God forgave you. But why did you allow them until the truthful ones became clear to you and you knew the liars?

The right translation

Allah has forgiven you. But why did you give them permission until those who say the truth became apparent to you, and until you knew the liars?

Explanation

This is where this verse goes wrong: Why did You give them leave until You knew the liars? The truth is: By allowing liars, the loyalists have become clear to you.

In the wrong opening Allah (swt) reproaches the Prophet (s.a.w.). They say: Why did you give them permission until you knew the liars? Allah (swt) does not reproach the Prophet (pbuh) and never addresses the Prophet (pbuh) in this way. Because the Prophet (PBUH) said that my Lord has trained me and trained me well. In the second verse of Surah Al-Fatih: "I have forgiven you your sins, past and future", and also in verse 3 of Surah Najm: Allah (swt) does not address the Prophet (s.a.w.) in such a way, as it would be contrary to Verse 3: He does not speak in vain. It would also be a failure of our Lord to discipline the Prophet (PBUH) well, which is contrary to the hadith and many Ayat (verses). The truth is that our Lord said to the Prophet (PBUH) that by allowing the liars, the faithful have become clear to you.

Yes.

Surah At-Tawbah, verse 43, is also a verse that has been translated wrongly. Allah has pardoned you. But why did you give them permission before those who told the truth became clear to you and you knew the liars, it says. Look here now. It is rebuking the Prophet (peace be upon him) here. Why did you give permission? What does it say? Allah has pardoned you, but before those who told the truth became clear to you and you knew the liars, why did you give them permission, it says. Whereas: Allah has pardoned you; indeed, indeed, by giving the liars permission, the truthful became fully clear to you.

Look, the truthful. Those liars left, because the Messenger of Allah knows the liars and he knows the truthful too. In verse 43, sir, uhm Afallâhu anke, lime ezinte lehum hattâ (?) yetebeyyene leke'llezîne sadakû.

Look. Here "sadakû" comes in the sense of the truthful. Ve ta'leme'l-kâzibîn. The truthful are one thing, "kâzibîn", the liars, are another. Now there are two groups here. Here it doesn't take the truthful in the (?). Allah has pardoned you, but before those who told the truth became clear to you and you knew the liars, why did you give them permission, it says. The correct version has the verse's real meaning. Allah has pardoned you; indeed, by giving the liars permission, the truthful became fully clear to you. Because the liars, that is, those who didn't want to go to war, said "we're coming too", and at a certain point: I have an excuse, he says, give me permission too, he says.

The liars are coming now. A lie. The Messenger of Allah knows they are liars, and he gives them permission. He gives permission. Go, he says. And those who don't ask for permission are the truthful. The truly sincere. In this case they make it rebuke the Messenger of Allah here. Whereas in the correct version below it says: the truthful became fully clear to you. That is, by giving them permission you did the right thing, it says. Yes.

Allah has pardoned you, it says. Indeed, it says, indeed, by giving the liars permission, the truthful became fully clear to you.
