یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا قِیْلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوْا فِی الْمَجٰلِسِ فَافْسَحُوْا یَفْسَحِ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْۚ-وَ اِذَا قِیْلَ انْشُزُوْا فَانْشُزُوْا یَرْفَعِ اللّٰهُ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْكُمْۙ-وَ الَّذِیْنَ اُوْتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجٰتٍؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ(11)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

O you who believe! When it is said to you, “Make room in gatherings”, then make room, Allah will make room for you. And when it is said, “Rise”, then rise, [1] Allah will raise the ranks of those who believe among you and those who were granted knowledge. [2] And Allah is aware of all that you do.

Commentary

[1]

One day, some Companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم who participated in the Expedition of Badr came to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم after all the spaces to sit had been occupied. The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made space for them in place of those who were sat near him. Those who had to give up their space were reluctant, which is when this verse was revealed.

[2]

Allah Almighty promised to raise the rank of the Islamic scholars. This illustrates their excellence and encourages one to seek knowledge. Sayyidunā ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd رَضِیَ اللہُ عَنْہٗ said: “O people, understand this verse and turn towards seeking knowledge, because Allah Almighty has stated that He will increase the rank of the believing scholar more than the rank of the one who is not a scholar.” (Tafsīr Al-Khāzin, Al-Mujādilah, under the verse 11, vol. 4, p. 241)
