7.169

فَخَلَفَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَّرِثُوا الْكِتٰبَ یَاْخُذُوْنَ عَرَضَ هٰذَا الْاَدْنٰى وَ یَقُوْلُوْنَ سَیُغْفَرُ لَنَاۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّاْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهٗ یَاْخُذُوْهُؕ-اَلَمْ یُؤْخَذْ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّیْثَاقُ الْكِتٰبِ اَنْ لَّا یَقُوْلُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَ دَرَسُوْا مَا فِیْهِؕ-وَ الدَّارُ الْاٰخِرَةُ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ یَتَّقُوْنَؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(169)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And such immoral successors succeeded them who inherited the Book, they take the wealth of this world and say, “We shall be forgiven.”[1] Yet if such wealth came to them (again), they would seize it. Had this oath not been taken from them in the Book that they shall not say anything but the truth about Allah? And they have read what is in the Book; indeed, the abode of the Hereafter is better for the pious. So do you not have intelligence?

Commentary

[1]

The Jews hoped for salvation despite their transgressions, thinking that they were beloved to Allah Almighty and were descendants of prophets so they shall not be called to account for their sins. In this era, there is no shortage of people who consider themselves worthy of reward in the Hereafter despite their personal wrongdoings. The hope for intercession on the Day of Judgement due to a bond or link with saintly figures is valid with the condition of faith; however, using this reason to feel that there is no need for righteous deeds while being certain of salvation is completely false.
