Question:
May Allah reward you. In his final question, he asks about whom these two verses, or these verses, were revealed:[At-Tawbah 9:75-77].
Answer:
This verse was revealed regarding the hypocrites. His statement "and among them" means among the hypocrites, because the majority of Surat al-Tawbah is about describing the characteristics of the hypocrites. Among their characteristics is treachery and failing to fulfill the covenant with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and with His servants. Yes.
May Allah reward you. In his final question, he asks about whom these two verses, or these verses, were revealed:
(75) And among them are those who made a covenant with Allah, [saying], "If He should give us from His bounty, we will surely spend in charity, and we will surely be among the righteous." (76) But when he gave them from His bounty, they were stingy with it and turned away while they refused. (77) So He penalized them with hypocrisy in their hearts until the Day they will meet Him - because they failed Allah in what they promised Him and because they [habitually] used to lie.
وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ عَاهَدَ اللَّهَ لَئِنْ آتَانَا مِن فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ فَلَمَّا آتَاهُم مِّن فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَتَوَلَّوا وَّهُم مُّعْرِضُونَ فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفَاقًا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِمَا أَخْلَفُوا اللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَAnswer:
