Translation: O you who believe, no men should ever scoff at other
men. May be, the latter are better than the former. Nor should women (ever
scoff) at other women. May be, the latter women are better than the former
ones. And do not find fault with one another, nor call one another with bad
nicknames. Bad is the name of sinfulness after embracing Faith. If anyone
does not repent, then such people are the wrongdoers.

Circumstances of Revelation:
This verse was revealed on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah. When it
was time for prayer, the Holy Prophet ‫صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬
asked Sayyidna Bilal ‫تعاٰل عنہ‬
‫ ریض هللا ه‬to call the adhan. One of the pagan Quraish
cynically remarked:
Thank God that my father died before this happened, and he did not have to
see this bad day. Harith Ibn Hisham remarked: Could Muhammad not find
anyone better than this black crow to sound the adhan in the Sacred Mosque!
Abu Sufyan said: I do not wish to utter anything for fear that the master of the
heavens will inform him. Thus Jibra'il ‫ عليہ السالم‬came down and informed the
Holy Prophet ‫ صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬about this conversation. The Holy Prophet ‫صیل هللا عليہ‬
‫ وسمل‬called them and asked them about it. They admitted. At this, the current
verse was revealed.
 ‫قَالَ ِت ْ َاَل ْع َر ُاب ها َمنَّا قُ ْل ل َّ ْم ت ُْؤ ِمنُ ْوا َو هل ِك ْن قُ ْولُ ْوْٓا َا ْسلَ ْمنَا َولَ َّما ي َ ْدخ ُِل ْ ِاَليْ َم ُان ِ ِْف‬

Translation: The Bedouins say, :We have come to believe. Say, :You have not
come to believe; instead, you (should) say, _We have surrendered‘ and the
belief has not entered your hearts so far. If you obey Allah and His Messenger,
He will not curtail (the reward of) any of your deeds in the least. Surely Allah is
Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful. Believers, in fact, are those who believe in Allah
and His Messenger, then have no doubt, and struggle, with their riches and their
lives, in the way of Allah. Those are the truthful.

about every thing. They oblige you that they have accepted Islam, (as if it was a
favour shown to you). Say, :Do not oblige me for your accepting Islam. Rather,
Allah makes you obliged for His having guided you to the Faith, if you are
truthful. Surely Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth, and Allah
keeps in sight whatever you do.

Background of Revelation
According to Imam Baghawi, this verse was revealed in connection with the
tribe of Banu Asad. A few members of that tribe came up to the Holy Prophet
‫ صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬in Madinah during a severe drought. These people were not
sincere believers. They had expressed their Islam merely to demand financial
help from the Muslim Sadaqat funds. As they were not believers in the real
sense of the word, they were unaware of Islamic injunctions and manners.
They spread filth and excrement on the streets of Madinah. In the
marketplaces they increased the prices of necessary items. First they made a
false claim of faith in the presence of the Holy Prophet ,‫صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬second
they wanted to deceive him; and third they regarded their Islam as a favour to
him.
They said: "We embraced Islam without any conflict: we did not fight
against you as did other tribes for a length of time and then they became
Muslims; therefore you should value us." This was a sort of disrespect
to the Messenger ,‫صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬because they considered their Islam as a
favour to him. Their sole purpose was to derive financial aid from the
Muslim Sadaqat funds, enrich themselves and eradicate their poverty.
True and sincere faith is the most precious possession of a Muslim. By
accepting Islam, he does no show a favour to anybody; on the contrary,
it is a favour of Allah that he is guided to the Truth. On this occasion, the
current set of verses was revealed in which their false claim is refuted
and they have been taken to task for boasting of their so-called
kindness and favour conferred upon the Holy Prophet .‫صیل هللا عليہ وسمل‬
