Al-Hujurat 49:11

Juz 26 · Page 516

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَآءٌ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهُنَّ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ بِئْسَ ٱلِٱسْمُ ٱلْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ١١

O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women; perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

Context

The prohibition of offensive nicknames

11

As narrated from Abu Jubayra b. al-Dahhak, when the Prophet came to Medina almost everyone had two or three nicknames; when the Prophet called someone by one of them, people would say, “O Messenger of Allah, he dislikes that name.” Thereupon the verse was revealed: “Do not insult one another with offensive nicknames.” It is narrated that the part of the verse forbidding one group from ridiculing another was likewise revealed in connection with similar incidents.

Ebû Dâvûd 4962; Tirmizî 3268

Revelation context of the surah

Surah-wide

Al-Hujurat is Medinan, dated to the late Medinan period, largely around the Year of Delegations (9 AH). According to reports, some of its verses came down when the delegation of Banu Tamim called out rudely from outside the Prophet's chambers (hujurat). It regulates etiquette toward the Prophet and social ethics such as mockery, backbiting and suspicion.
