1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Ash-Sha`tha, Al-Hasan, Az-Zuhri,
Ad-Dahhak and Muqatil bin Hayyan said that;
he is expelled, but not outside of the land of
Islam, while others said that he is to be
imprisoned.
Allah's statement,
... ذَلِكَ‏ لَهُمْ‏ خِزْيٌ‏ فِي الد ُّنْيَا وَلَهُمْ‏ فِي الآخِرَةِ‏ عَذَابٌ‏ عَظِيمٌ‏ ﴿٣٣ ﴾
That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment
is theirs in the Hereafter.
means, the punishment We prescribed, killing
these aggressors, crucifying them, cutting off
their hands and feet on opposite sides, or
expelling them from the land is a disgrace for
them among mankind in this life, along with the
tremendous torment Allah has prepared for them
in the Hereafter.
This view supports the opinion that these Ayat were
revealed about the idolators. As for Muslims, in his
Sahih, Muslim recorded that Ubadah bin As-Samit said,
"The Messenger of Allah took the same pledge
from us that he also took from women: That we
do not associate anything with Allah in worship,
we do not steal, commit adultery, or kill our
children, and that we do not spread falsehood
about each other.
He said that he who keeps this pledge, then his
reward will be with Allah. He who falls into
shortcomings and was punished, then this will be
his expiation. And those whose errors were
covered by Allah, then their matter is for Allah: If
He wills, He will punish them and If He wills, He
will pardon them.''
Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah said,
مَنْ‏ أَذْنَبَ‏ ذَنْبًا فِي الد ُّنْيَا فَعُوقِبَ‏ بِهِ،‏ فَااللهُ‏ أَعْدَلُ‏ مِنْ‏ أَنْ‏ یُثَن ِّيَ‏
عُقُوبَتَهُ‏ عَلى عَبْدِهِ،‏ وَمَنْ‏ أَذْنَبَ‏ ذَنْبًا فِي الد ُّنْيَا فَسَتَرهُ‏ االلهُ‏ عَلَيْهِ‏
وَعَفَا عَنْهُ،‏ فَااللهُ‏ أَآْرَمُ‏ مِنْ‏ أَنْ‏ یَعُودَ‏ عَلَيْهِ‏ فِي شَيْءٍ‏ قَدْ‏ عَفَا عَنْه
