Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : here the story of zayd ibn arqam is also mentioned (o ye who believe) in muhammad (pbuh) and the qur'an! (let not your wealth) in mecca (nor your children) also in mecca (distract you from remembrance of allah) from migration and jihad. (those who do so) whoever is distracted by his wealth and children from migrating and striving, (they are the losers) who will face punishment.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
