Al Imran

HR Background

وَ  كَیْفَ  تَكْفُرُوْنَ  وَ  اَنْتُمْ  تُتْلٰى  عَلَیْكُمْ  اٰیٰتُ  اللّٰهِ  وَ  فِیْكُمْ  رَسُوْلُهٗؕ-وَ  مَنْ  یَّعْتَصِمْ  بِاللّٰهِ  فَقَدْ  هُدِیَ  اِلٰى  صِرَاطٍ  مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ(101)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

How can you disbelieve[1] while the verses of Allah are recited before you and His Messenger is among you? And whosoever held fast onto the support of Allah was most certainly shown the straight path.

Commentary

[1]

The Companions are the primary addressees here and are being asked how they can fight one another like the disbelievers after attaining the Prophet’s companionship and hearing the Qurʾan from his blessed tongue. This verse also advises Muslims in general that they have a powerful foundation underpinning their unity, the Qurʾan and Sunnah, which precludes infighting due to personal grudges.
