Asking forgiveness for the people
Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran)
– Chptr – 3)
‘A-‘uu-zu Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)
فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَٱنفَضُّوا۟ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَٱعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْلَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ 159
159. It is by the Mercy of Allah that thou are lenient
with them (O Muhammad), for if thou have been stern and fierce of heart they
would have dispersed from round about thee. So pardon them and ask
forgiveness for them and consult with them upon the conduct of affairs, so
when thou art resolved, then put thy trust in Allah. Lo! Allah loveth those
who put their trust (in Him).

Commentary
There was a great negligence from the side of
Muslims in the Battle of ‘Uhud.
So, perhaps Holy Prophet (SallAllaahu
‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) would have been angry in his
heart and he would have intended that he would leave consulting with the
Muslims in future. Therefore, Allah Almighty recommended the Muslims in a light
style. At first, He declared that they were forgiven, because anger and grief
of Holy Prophet (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi
wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) is only for Allah Almighty. Then He
commanded, “It is a great Mercy of Allah Almighty that he made his
Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi
wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) so much civil, polite and lenient.
If Holy Messenger Muhammad (SallAllaahu
‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) were stern and fierce of
heart, they would have dispersed from around him. It would not be sure that
what behavior he would have adopted in this matter. This nation might not remain
gathered around him. If he (SallAllaahu
‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) would have called to account
severely; then they could not come as much close because of shame and
repentance. In such a way, they would have remained deprived of a great virtue
and blessing, and the Unity of Islamic nation would have been shattered.
Holy Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) ignores their errors
for their correction. Allah Almighty guides, “Although, Allah Almighty has
forgiven them now, however, you should ask Me for their forgiveness for more
satisfaction of their hearts. Consult with them for conducting necessary
affairs. After consultation, when a matter is finalized and Intended solemnly,
then all of you should set up on it with perfect trust in Allah almighty,
because Allah Almighty loves those people, who put their trust in
Him.
Ali
(May Allah be pleased with him) asked the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam),
“O Messenger of Allah! The matter, which we do not find in the Holy Qur’an, your Sayings and Traditions,
then which way should we choose for that?” Holy Messenger (SallAllaahu ‘alayHi wa ‘AaliHii Wasallam) replied,
“Consult with only those, who are wise and worshippers of Allah Almighty and do
not follow the opinion of anyone else”. The importance of mutual consultation
has been disclosed by this verse and Hadith.
