Commentary
Khifaafun –
(light-armed), this word is plural of khafiif, which has been made
from the word khiffatun. Khiffatun means “to be
light”. Khafiif is an adjective from it. The light is such
person who is not loaded or who has no goods for lifting. Light-armed has the
same meaning here.
Siqaalun –
(heavy, burdened), it is plural of saqiil, which is also an
adjective and have been derived from saqal. It means “to be loaded”
and it is used for a load too. Saqiil is that person who has
some luggage to lift.
It was admonished in the
previous verse that neither God Almighty is needy of you and nor of your help.
He takes work from you for the purpose that your degrees may be increased and
give you gifts and rewards after examining your obedience. Therefore, if you
desire to obtain the happiness of the both Worlds, then it is the time for that
purpose.
Get ready for work. If you are
ready then hear: What are you being commanded at this time? Do not seek any
excuse or pretext in obeying His Command. Join the Army in such condition; in
which you are, leaving your homes and families and move up. The same has been
explained in this verse.
It is commanded that you should
stand up immediately, in which condition you are, whether someone of you is a
foot solder or has any horse for riding, rich or poor. One should produce
himself to sacrifice; who has nothing to sacrifice, but who has wealth also; he
must produce the both i.e. himself and his wealth. No pretext will be accepted
at this time.
It is not the time of thinking
that the weather is very hot, we have not provisions and goods for fighting, or
we have to cut the ripen crops. You must have full trust in your greatest
General, Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and believe
that there is much betterment for you in this journey of war.
Ahead, you will know
automatically. Although, you cannot estimate at this time that what the Muslims
will get in this journey? Apparently it seems that there is only loss and
damage in this journey, giving up rest and cold of the house, bearing severity
of the hot season, moving fast in the forests being hungry and thirsty, and besides
this all loss of crops.
After hearing the above
command, the entire Muslims got ready. However, the hypocrites began to evade
of various sorts.
