Traduzione dei significati Versetto 73 Sura An-Nisâ’ - Traduzione inglese - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Umary - L'Enciclopedia del Nobile Corano

Versetto: 73

وَلَئِنۡ أَصَٰبَكُمۡ فَضۡلٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَيَقُولَنَّ كَأَن لَّمۡ تَكُنۢ بَيۡنَكُمۡ وَبَيۡنَهُۥ مَوَدَّةٞ يَٰلَيۡتَنِي كُنتُ مَعَهُمۡ فَأَفُوزَ فَوۡزًا عَظِيمٗا

(73) But should a favour^[917] from Allah come your way, he – as if there is no affection between you!^[918] – would certainly say: “Alas, had I been with them I would have won a great deal!”

[917] Winning victory over your enemies. (al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī)
[918] Mawaddah (affection) comes as a result of a sense of belonging to a group. In such a scenario, the insincere will speak from their hearts and reveal their innermost thoughts in spite of the outwardly ‘affectionate’ relationship that binds them with Believers. All pretence of affection wonderously abandons them in that moment of truth (cf. al-Zamahksharī, al-Baiḍāwī).
