| Asad | But [remember that an attempt at] requiting evil may, too, become an evil: [Lit., "is [or "may be"] an evil like it". In other words, successful struggle against tyranny (which latter is the meaning of the noun baghy in the last sentence of the preceding verse) often tends to degenerate into a similarly tyrannical attitude towards the erstwhile oppressors. Hence, most of the classical commentators (e.g., Baghawi, Zamakhshari, Razi, Baydawi) stress the absolute prohibition of "going beyond what is right" (itida) when defending oneself against tyranny and oppression. (Cf. the passage relating to fighting against "those who wage war against you" in 2:190 ff.)] hence, whoever par dons [his foe] and makes peace, his reward rests with God - for, verily, He does not love evildoers. [I.e., in this context, such as succumb to the temptation of indulging in undue acts of revenge against their former oppressors.] |
