أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوٓا۟ أَن يَكْفُرُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَيُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَن يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلَـٰلًۢا بَعِيدًۭا ٦٠
Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? Satan would mislead them far astray.
Have you not seen those who claim to have believed in what was revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what was revealed before you? They wish to refer legislation to Taghut, while they were commanded to reject it; and Satan wishes to lead them far astray.
(O Messenger!) Have you not seen those who claim to believe in the Book which has been revealed to you and in the Books revealed before you, and yet desire to submit their disputes to the judgement of taghut (the Satanic authorities who decide independently of the Law of Allah), whereas they had been asked to reject it. And Satan seeks to make them drift far away from the right way.
هَذَا إِنْكَارٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ، عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، عَلَى مَنْ يَدَّعِي الْإِيمَانَ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الْأَقْدَمِينَ، وَهُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ يُرِيدُ التَّحَاكُمَ فِي فَصْلِ الْخُصُومَاتِ إِلَى غَيْرِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ، كَمَا ذُكِرَ فِي سَبَبِ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: أَنَّهَا فِي رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَرَجُلٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ تَخَاصَمَا، فَجَعَلَ الْيَهُودِيُّ يَقُولُ: بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ. وَذَاكَ يَقُولُ: بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ. وَقِيلَ: فِي جَمَاعَةٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ، مِمَّنْ أَظْهَرُوا الْإِسْلَامَ، أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى حُكَّامِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. وَقِيلَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ، وَالْآيَةُ أَعَمُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ، فَإِنَّهَا ذَامَّةٌ لِمَنْ عَدَلَ عَنِ الْكِتَابِ وَالسُّنَّةِ، وَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى مَا سِوَاهُمَا مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ، وَهُوَ الْمُرَادُ بِالطَّاغُوتِ هَاهُنَا؛ وَلِهَذَا قَالَ: ﴿يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ [وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلالا بَعِيدًا. وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا إِلَى مَا أَنزلَ اللَّهُ وَإِلَى الرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُودًا] [[زيادة من أ، وفي هـ: "إلى آخرها".]] ﴾ .
وَقَوْلُهُ: ﴿يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُودًا﴾ أَيْ: يُعْرِضُونَ عَنْكَ إِعْرَاضًا كَالْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ: ﴿وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا أَنزلَ اللَّهُ قَالُوا بَلْ نَتَّبِعُ مَا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ آبَاءَنَا﴾ [لُقْمَانَ:٢١] هَؤُلَاءِ وَهَؤُلَاءِ بِخِلَافِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ: ﴿إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنَا [وَأَطَعْنَا وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ] [[زيادة من أ، وفي هـ: "الآية".]] ﴾ [النُّورِ: ٥١] .
