Surah Al-Anfaal · Ayah 72·Madanī

72

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى وَٱلَّذِينَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ وَٱلَّذِينَ وَلَمْ مَا لَكُم مِّن مِّن حَتَّىٰ وَإِنِ فِى فَعَلَيْكُمُ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ بِمَا ﴿٧٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - they are allies of one another. But those who believed and did not emigrate - for you there is no guardianship of them until they emigrate. And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty. And Allah is Seeing of what you do.

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

مسئولیت مسلمانان در مورد موّمنان غیر مهاجر

در این آیه و چند آیة بعد (تا پایان سوره) سخن از پنج گروه به میان آمده است؛ چهار گروه از مسلمانان و یک گروه از کافران. آن چهار گروه مسلمان عبارتند از: ۱- مهاجران نخستین ۳۲ انصار و یاران مدینه ۳ آنها که ایمان آوردند ولی مهاجرت نکردند ۴- آنها که بعداً ایمان آوردند و به مهاجران پیوستند. خداوند در مورد گروه سوم می‌فرماید: «آنها که ایمان آوردند و مهاجرت نکردند و به جامعة نو شما نپیوستند, هیچ گونه ولایت و تعهد و مسئولیتی در برابر آنها ندارید تا زمانی که اقدام به هجرت کنند.» تنها یک نوع حمایت و مسئولیت را استثنا کرده می‌فرماید: «هرگاه این گروه (مژمنان غیر مهاجر) از شما به خاطر حفظ دین و آیینشان یاری طلبند (یعنی تحت فشار شدید دشمنان قرار گیرند)» بر شما لازم است که به یاری آنها بشتابید؛ مگر زمانی که مخالفان آنها جمعیتی باشند که میان شما و آنان پیمان ترک مخاصمه بسته شده است.» به تعبیر دیگرء لزوم دفاع از آنان در صورتی است که در برابر دشمنان مشترک قرار گیرند؛ اما اگر در برابر کفاری که با شما پیمان بسته‌اندء واقع شده‌اندء احترام به پیمان, از دفاع از این گروه لازم‌تر است.
