Commentary on Tafsir al-Jalalayn: “And whatever you differ with the disbelievers in” from religion or otherwise, “its judgment” is referred “to Allah”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The commentator says: "
And whatever you differ وما اختلفتم
with the disbelievers
over which you disagree فيه من شيء
[Ash-Shuraa 42:10]
"
The correct view is that it is more general. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) specified it as being with the disbelievers, i.e., our disagreement with the disbelievers. There is also a point to consider in this specification, and the correct view is that it is general: whatever you, O people, differ with the disbelievers in, or whatever you, O Muslims, differ among yourselves in:
its ruling is [to be referred] to Allah فحكمه إلى الله
[Ash-Shuraa 42:10]
.
And his saying:
anything من شيء
The commentator says: " from religion and other matters " Yes, from religion. Religion is everything by which a person worships Allah, and other matters are what is not so. So its judgment belongs to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) alone, meaning its judgment is referred to Allah. For this reason he said: " So its judgment is referred
to Allah إلى الله
on the Day of Resurrection, when He will judge between you "
The correct view is that it is referred to Allah in this world and the Hereafter. And indicating this is His saying, the Exalted:
obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger وأطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول وأولي الأمر منكم فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول
[An-Nisa 4:59]
