قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

فریبکاری منافقان در عبادت

از این آیه استفاده می‌شود که نباید تنها به نماز و روزةٌ مردم فریفته شد؛ زیرا منافقان، هم نماز می خواندند وهم به ظاهر در راه خدا انفاق می کردند؛ بلکه باید نمازها و انفاق های منافقان را از اعمال پاک و سازندة موْمنان راستین باز شناخت که با دقت و کنجکاوی در ظاهر عمل نیز غالباً شناخته می‌شود. در روایتی می‌خوانیم: «تنها به رکوع و سجود طولانی افراد ننگرید؛ زیرا ممکن است از روی عادت باشد و کنار گذاردن آن سیب ناراحتی شود؛ اما به راستگویی و امانت داری آنها دقت کنید.» راستی و امانت. از ایمان سرچشمه می‌گیرد؛ در حالی که رکوع و سجود عادتی» با نفاق هم سازگار است* > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونه ج۷» ص ۴۳۷ > ره اطیب‌البیان» ج۶ »ص ۲۷ ۵ نمونه» ج۷ ص‌ ۴۵۰ > ۱- نمونهء ج۷, ص ۴۳۷ ۲- پیشین» ص ۴۳۹ ۳ المیزان» چ۸, ص ۳۱۷ > ۵- نمونهء ج۷» ص ۴۵۰ > ۳ المیزان» ۹ ص ۳۱۷ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Aṭyab al-Bayān.
