Q 6:137

وَكَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلَـٰدِهِمْ شُرَكَآؤُهُمْ لِيُرْدُوهُمْ وَلِيَلْبِسُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ ۖ فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ

Traductions

Et c'est ainsi que leurs divinités ont enjolivé à beaucoup d'associateurs le meurtre de leurs enfants, afin de les ruiner et de travestir à leurs yeux leur religion. Or si Allah voulait, ils ne le feraient pas. Laisse-les donc, ainsi que ce qu'ils inventent.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.

Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Tout comme Satan embellit aux polythéistes ce jugement injuste, des démons embellirent à de nombreux polythéistes le meurtre de leurs enfants en leur faisant craindre la pauvreté. Ils leur embellirent ce crime afin de les mener à la perdition. Ils leur firent ôter la vie d’un être alors qu’Allah rend le meurtre illicite sans raison valable, et ils les firent dénaturer leur religion jusqu’à ne plus savoir ce qui est prescrit et ce qui ne l’est pas. Si Allah avait voulu qu’ils ne commettent pas ce crime ils ne l’auraient pas commis, mais Il laissa faire pour des raisons que nous ne pouvons appréhender. Ô Messager, délaisse ces polythéistes et leurs inventions mensongères sur Allah. Elles ne te nuisent en rien et les concernant, remets t’en à Allah.

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

And so to many of the idolators, their "partners" have made fair seeming the killing of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction and cause confusion in their religion. And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them alone with their fabrications (137) Shaytan Lured the Idolators to Kill Their Children Allah says, just as the Shayatin lured the idolators to assign a share for Allah from what He created of agriculture and cattle - and a share for the idols, they also made it seem fair for them to kill their children, for fear of poverty, and burying their daughters alive, for fear of dishonor. Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn 'Abbas that he commented; وَكَذَٰلِكَ زَيَّنَ لِكَثِيرٍ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَتْلَ أَوْلَادِهِمْ شُرَكَاؤُهُمْ (And so to many of the idolators, their "partners" have made fair seeming the killing of their children...) "They make killing their children attractive to them." Mujahid said, "Idolators' partners among the devils ordered them to bury their children for fear of poverty." As-Suddi said, "The devils commanded them to kill their daughters so that they, لِيُرْدُوهُمْ (lead them to their own destruction), and to, وَلِيَلْبِسُوا عَلَيْهِمْ دِينَهُمْ (cause confusion in their religion.)" Allah said, وَلَوْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا فَعَلُوهُ (And if Allah had willed, they would not have done so.) meaning, all this occurred by Allah's leave, will and decree, but He dislikes these practices, and He has the perfect wisdom in every decree. He is never questioned about what He does, but they all will be questioned. فَذَرْهُمْ وَمَا يَفْتَرُونَ (So leave them alone with their fabrications.) meaning, avoid and abandon them and what they do, for Allah will judge between you and them.
