Surah Ya-Sin 36:76
سُورَةُ يسٓ · Meccan · Verse 76 of 83
فَلَا يَحْزُنكَ قَوْلُهُمْ ۘ إِنَّا نَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
Translation
So [Prophet] do not be distressed at what they say: We know what they conceal and what they reveal.
English translation: M.A.S. Abdel Haleem.
Meaning and reflection
'So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.' Ibn Ashur and al-Saadi note the tender turn to the Prophet: do not let their words wound you, the One who sees behind their speech, into both the hidden and the shown, has the full account. Their mockery is not the last word. Ask yourself: I let people's words lodge deep, a dismissal, a cruelty, a mockery replayed long after it was said. This verse offers a place to set that weight down: the One who knows what lies behind every word, concealed and revealed, has already weighed it. Could I let His complete knowledge be enough, and stop carrying speech that was meant to grieve me but that He has already seen through?
Grounded in classical tafsir: Ibn Ashur, al-Saadi, al-Biqa'i.
