Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Hypocrites suffer Afflictions

Allah says,

أَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ

See they not that they are put in trial,

being tested,

فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ



once or twice every year! Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson.

They neither repent from their previous sins nor learn a lesson for the future.

Mujahid said that;

hypocrites are tested with drought and hunger.

Allah said;

وَإِذَا مَا أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَاكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انصَرَفُواْ صَرَفَ اللّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لاَّ يَفْقَهُون
