مشرکان؛ خواستار طرد مسلمانان مستضعف

در شأن نزول این آیات وارد شده که مشرکین از پیامبر(ص) خواستند که دست از بدگویی خدایان ایشان بر دارد و غلامان و کنیزان بی‌شخصیت و مستضعف را که مسلمان شده و به وی گرویده‌اند» از خود دور کند؛ چون عارشان می‌شد که با بردگان خود یکجا بنشینند و یات خدا را بشنوند. این آیات در چنین شرایطی نازل شده است. البته خداوند در آَیةُ ۷۴ بیان می‌فرماید که پیامبرش را در پرتوی مقام عصمت از هرگونه تمایل به مشرکان حفظ فرمود و پیامبر هیچ‌گونه واکنش مثبتی در برابر پیشنهاد آنها از خود نشان نداد.؟ > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- اقتباس از المیزان» ۰۱۳ ص ۱۶۱ - ۱۵۶ ۲ نمونه, جچ۱۲ ص ۲۰۰ > ۳- پیشین» ص ۲۰۱ ۴ المیزان» ۳۲۳ص ۱۳۹ > ۲ نمونه ج۸۱۲ ص ۲۰۰ > ۴ المیزان» ۰۱۳ ص ۱۶۹ > ۳/۸۹ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān.
