لَّئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَالَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْمُرْجِفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لَا يُجَاوِرُونَكَ فِيهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a sickness, and the rumourmongers in the city do not desist, We will prompt you [to take action] against them; then they will not be your neighbours in it except briefly.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 33:60
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 33:60] As said in the commentary of Bara-at: 47 to 50, even in 9 Hijra a large number of hypocrites were present among the believers and were actively plotting to undermine the divine mission of the Holy Prophet (also see commentary of Bara-at: 41 and 42), but history written by their associates and followers do not mention them and their activities at all after the departure of the Holy Prophet from this world. In fact it was these hypocrites who annoyed, persecuted and killed the Ahl ul Bayt of the Holy Prophet till the disappearance of the last Imam, al Qa-im, and continued the persecution of their followers in all ages. The hypocrites, the disbelievers and the enemies of the truth had been seized and destroyed by Allah in the times of earlier prophets and Allah undertakes in verses 61 and 62 that such people among the ummah of the Holy Prophet will also meet the same fate. History does not furnish a single example of any action taken by the Holy Prophet against the hypocrites in the sense mentioned here. As Allah's promise has to be fulfilled, Ali, as prophesied by the Holy Prophet, performed this duty in the battle of Siffin, Jamal and Nahrwan; and the living Imam Al Qa-im will complete it when he is sent again in this world by Allah (see commentary of Bara-at: 32 and 33.)
