Show Full Scripture Context (6:129) — 1 Verse
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعۡضَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
In this way We make some of the evildoers allies of others for what they have earned.
129. And thus We do make the wrongdoers supporters of one another, because of that which they used to earn.
Ma'mar said that Qatadah commented on this Ayah, “Allah makes the wrongdoers supporters for each other in the Fire by following one another into it.” ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam commented on Allah’s statement,
And thus We do make the wrongdoers supporters of one another .
“It refers to the wrongdoers of the Jinns and mankind.” He then recited,
He said next - concerning the meaning of the Ayah; “We appoint the wrongdoer of the Jinns over the wrongdoer of mankind.” A poet once said, “There is no hand, but Allah’s Hand is above it, and no wrongdoer but will be tested by another wrongdoer.”
The meaning of this honorable Ayah thus becomes: ‘Just as We made this losing group of mankind supporters of the Jinns that misguided them, We also appoint the wrongdoers over one another, destroy them by the hands of one another, and take revenge from them with one another. This is the just recompense for their injustice and transgression.’
