OCCASION OF REVELATION (VERSE NO. 204)

      This verse and the next two verses are said to have been revealed about a man named: `AKHNAS - IBN - SHRIGH' who was a handsome, and eloquent man, with a smooth tongue by which he indulged in plausible-talk with many oaths, and pretended to be a worldly wise Muslim, but when he went away, and out of the sight of the prophet, he proved to be a real enemy of Islam and Muslims.

      In fact he was a true hypocrite, and a false pretender to virtue and piety! In an incident he wildly put to fire the crops and farms, and killed many of the Muslim's domestic animals in vain.

COMMENTS

      This verse alludes to some of the hypocrites in brief; that there are some people whose eloquent speech and smooth tongue, about this life and this world amazes you, but you must take care of his tricks and try to realize his frauds, because in your back he may cause all sorts of mischief and devilish acts!
