Question

Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) said:
“Whoever stands up for truth, commands good, or forbids evil will inevitably be harmed. There is no remedy for this except patience for the sake of Allah.”

Can you provide the reference?

 

Answer

Hafiz Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah) mentions this in his Tafsir while explaining the verse:
“And you will certainly hear much that is hurtful from those who were given the Book before you and from the polytheists” (Surah Alu Imran, verse 186).

He writes: “Anyone who upholds the truth, enjoins what is right, forbids what is wrong, will certainly face harm. The only cure for this is to exercise patience for Allah’s sake, seeking His help, and constantly turning back to Him.”

(Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah: Alu ‘Imran, Verse: 186)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

تفسير ابن كثير ت سلامة (١٨٠/٢)، (سورة آل عمران، الآية: ١٨٦)
قال الله تعالى: {ولتسمعن من الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم ومن الذين أشركوا أذى كثيرا} الآية وقال تعالى: {ود كثير من أهل الكتاب لو يردونكم من بعد إيمانكم كفارا حسدا من عند أنفسهم من بعد ما تبين لهم الحق فاعفوا واصفحوا حتى يأتي الله بأمره} الآية [البقرة:١٠٩] ، وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يتأول في العفو ما أمره الله به، حتى أذن الله فيهم، فلما غزا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بدرا، فقتل الله به صناديد كفار قريش، قال عبد الله بن أبي ابن سلول ومن معه من المشركين وعبدة الأوثان: هذا أمر قد توجه، فبايعوا الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم على الإسلام فأسلموا.
فكان من قام بحق، أو أمر بمعروف، أو نهى عن منكر، فلا بد أن يؤذى، فما له دواء إلا الصبر في الله، والاستعانة بالله، والرجوع إلى الله، عز وجل.
