Q 5:71

وَحَسِبُوٓا۟ أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ فَعَمُوا۟ وَصَمُّوا۟ ثُمَّ تَابَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ عَمُوا۟ وَصَمُّوا۟ كَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

Traductions

Comptant qu'il n'y aurait pas de tentation contre eux, ils étaient devenus aveugles et sourds. Puis Allah accueillit leur repentir. Ensuite, beaucoup d'entre eux redevinrent aveugles et sourds. Et Allah voit parfaitement ce qu'ils font.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And they thought there would be no [resulting] punishment, so they became blind and deaf. Then Allah turned to them in forgiveness; then [again] many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is Seeing of what they do.

Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Croyant que leurs méfaits (le manquement à leurs engagements, la violation de leurs pactes ainsi que leur démenti et le meurtre de prophètes) resteraient impunis, ils durent faire face à leurs conséquences terribles et inattendues. En effet, ils devinrent aveugles et muets face à la vérité et se retrouvèrent dans l’incapacité d’accéder à la guidée. Allah accueillit leur repentir par miséricorde, mais ils retombèrent dans leur égarement pour nombre d’entre eux. Allah voit parfaitement ce qu’ils font car rien ne Lui échappe et Il les rétribuera en fonction de leurs agissements.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

Verily, We took the covenant of the Children of Israel and sent Messengers to them. Whenever there came to them a Messenger with what they themselves desired not, a group of them they called liars, and others among them they killed (70)They thought there will be no Fitnah (trial or punishment), so they became blind and deaf; after that Allah turned to them (with forgiveness); yet again many of them became blind and deaf. And Allah is the All-Seer of what they do (71) Allah reminds that He took the covenant and pledges from the Children of Israel to hear and obey Him and His Messenger. They broke these pledges and covenants and followed their lusts and desires instead of the law, and whichever part of the law they agreed with, they took it. Otherwise, they abandoned it, if it did not conform to their desires. This is why Allah said, كُلَّمَا جَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰ أَنفُسُهُمْ فَرِيقًا كَذَّبُوا وَفَرِيقًا يَقْتُلُونَ - وَحَسِبُوا أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ فَعَمُوا وَصَمُّوا (Whenever there came to them a Messenger with what they themselves desired not - a group of them they called liars, and others among them they killed. They thought there will be no Fitnah (trial or punishment) so they became blind and deaf.) thinking that they would suffer no repercussions for of the evil that they committed. Consequently, they were blinded from the truth and became deaf, incapable of hearing the truth. For these reasons they were unable to be guided by it. Allah forgave that, then, عَمُوا وَصَمُّوا (yet they became blind and deaf) again, كَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ (many of them, and Allah is the All-Seer of what they do.) He has perfect knowledge of what they do and whomever among them deserves the guidance and whomever deserves misguidance.
