کیا تم اپنی سرگوشی سے پہلے صدقہ نکالنے سے ڈر گئے؟ پس جب تم نے یہ نہ کیا اور اللہ تعالیٰ نے بھی تمہیں معاف فرما دیا تو اب (بخوبی) نمازوں کو قائم رکھو زکوٰة دیتے رہا کرو اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی اور اس کے رسول کی تابعداری کرتے رہو۔ تم جو کچھ کرتے ہو اس (سب) سے اللہ (خوب) خبردار ہے

Quran 58 Verse 13 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Mujadila ayat 13, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(58:13) Are you afraid that you will have to offer charity when you hold private conversation with the Prophet? But if you are unable to do so and Allah pardons you, then establish Prayer and pay Zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah is well aware of all that you do.[30]


30. This second command was sent down some time after the first command, and it concealed the injunction of giving something in charity. However, there is a difference of opinion as to how long the injunction remained in force. Qatadah says it remained in force for less than a day and then was abrogated. Muqatil bin Hayyan says that it remained in force for ten days; and this is the longest period of its life mentioned in any tradition.
