Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 58
| وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُبِينًا |
| Transliteration | : | wa- 'alladhena yu'dhon al- mu'minen wa- al- mu'minaat bi- ghayr maa iktasabo fa- qad ih.tamalo buhtaan(an) wa- 'ithm(an) muben(an) |
| Pickthall | : | And those who malign believing men and believing women undeservedly, they bear the guilt of slander and manifest sin. |
| Asad | : | And as for those who malign believing men and believing women without their having done any wrong - they surely burden themselves with the guilt of calumny, and [thus] with a flagrant sin! |
| Malik | : | And those who annoy believing men and believing women, for no fault of theirs, shall bear the guilt of slander and an evident sin. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | And those who annoy believing men and women undeservedly bear (on themselves) a calumny and a glaring sin. 3763 |
Note - 3763Cf. iv. 112. In that passage we were told that any one
who was himself guilty but accused an innocent man of his
guilt, was obviously placing himself in double jeopardy;
first, for his own original guilt, and secondly for the
guilt of a false accusation. Here we take two classes of
men instead of two individuals. The men and women of
faith (if they deserve the name) and doing all they can
to serve Allah and humanity. If they are insulted, hurt,
or annoyed by those whose sins they denounce, the latter
suffer the penalties of a double guilt, viz., their sins
to start with, and the insults or injuries they offer to
those who correct them. Instead of resenting the
preaching of Truth, they should welcome it and profit by
it.
