Q 9:69

كَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنكُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَكْثَرَ أَمْوَٰلًا وَأَوْلَـٰدًا فَٱسْتَمْتَعُوا۟ بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم بِخَلَـٰقِكُمْ كَمَا ٱسْتَمْتَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُم بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ وَخُضْتُمْ كَٱلَّذِى خَاضُوٓا۟ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

Traductions

[Il en fut] de même de ceux qui vous ont précédés: ils étaient plus forts que vous, plus riches et avaient plus d'enfants. Ils jouirent de leur lot [en ce monde] et vous avez joui de votre lot comme ont joui vos prédécesseurs de leur lot. Et vous avez discuté à tort et à travers comme ce qu'ils avaient discuté. Ceux-là verront leurs œuvres anéanties dans ce monde et dans l'autre et ceux-là sont les perdants.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.

Tafsir

Ô vous les hypocrites, votre mécréance et vos railleries sont semblables à celles des peuples anciens qui étaient mécréants. Ils étaient plus puissants, plus riches et plus féconds que vous. Ils ont profités pleinement de la subsistance et des plaisirs de ce bas monde qui leur étaient destinés tout comme vous, ô hypocrites, profitez pleinement de ce qui vous est destiné. Comme les peuples anciens qui étaient mécréants, vous niez la vérité et portez atteinte au Messager. Ceux qui possèdent ces caractéristiques exécrables ne verront pas leurs œuvres rétribuées puisque Leur mécréance les rend nulles auprès d’Allah. Ce sont eux les perdants puisqu’ils exposent leurs âmes à la perdition.

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

Like those before you: they were mightier than you in power, and more abundant in wealth and children. They had enjoyed their portion (a while), so enjoy your portion (a while) as those before you enjoyed their portion (a while); and you indulged in play and pastime as they indulged in play and pastime. Such are they whose deeds are in vain in this world and in the Hereafter. Such are they who are the losers (69) بِخَلَاقِهِمْ (their portion), means, [they mocked] their religion, according to Al-Hasan Al-Basri. Allah's statement, وَخُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خَاضُوا (and you indulged in play and pastime as they indulged in play and pastime), indulged in lies and falsehood, أُولَٰئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ (Such are they whose deeds are in vain), their deeds are annulled; they will not acquire any rewards for them because they are invalid, فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ۖ وَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ (in this world and in the Hereafter. Such are they who are the losers.) because they will not acquire any rewards for their actions. Ibn 'Abbas commented, "How similar is this night to the last night, كَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ (Like those before you...) These are the Children of Israel, with whom we were compared. The Prophet ﷺ said, وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَتَّبِعُنَّهُمْ حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ جُحْرَ ضَبَ لَدَخَلْتُمُوهُ (By He in Whose Hand is my life! You will imitate them, and even if a man of them entered the den of a lizard, you will enter it likewise!)" Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتَتَّبِعُنَّ سَنَنَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ شِبْرًا بِشِبْرٍ وَذِرَاعًا بِذِرَاعٍ، وَبَاعًا بِبَاعٍ حَتَّى لَوْ دَخَلُوا جُحْرَ ضَبٍّ لَدَخَلْتُمُوهُ قالوا: ومن هم يا رسول الله، أهل الكتاب؟ قال: فَمَنْ؟ (By He in Whose Hand is my soul! You will follow the traditions of those who were before you a hand span for a hand-span and forearm's length for forearm's length, and an arm's length for an arm's length. And even if they enter the den of a lizard, you will also enter it.) They asked, "Who, O Allah's Messenger, the People of the Book?" He said, (Who else)?" This Hadith is similar to another Hadith collected in the Sahih.
