15. And when ye
welcomed it with your tongues, and uttered with your mouths that whereof ye
had no knowledge, and ye counted it a trifle. And in the Sight of Allah it is
very great.
16a. Wherefor, when ye
heard it, said ye not: It is not for us to speak of this.

Commentary
Keeping the society chaste and pure is collective responsibility
of the Muslims. Society is not established by only gathering of the people at a
place, but it is established by producing such deep relationship among the
individuals by which mutual hearty harmony is created in this group of people. As
though; assembly is a body and living altogether well is its soul. Combination of
the both will become a living thing, which will be called Society. And then its
instructions will be followed by all people. It is the way of making a society
that inside the people themselves, a person of good moral character is born. Then
every individual should mould own manners according to that person’s nature; to
such stage that a standard of civility is established. Then morality of all
members of the society will be set on that pattern.
Quality of manners of the Messenger of Allaah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) is a criterion. And in accord with
that standard, the society will be established. Whoever will not follow that
pattern, wrath of Allaah Almighty will come upon him/her.
Some people had turned away from that standard at that occasion which
has been mentioned in this verse. They tried to ensnare others in this
misfortune by abusing. They have been warned in this verse that spreading such
rumors is a great sin. To say without verification that which other people say;
is crossing the line of the Religious Law. It should not be considered any
common matter. There is a fear of being the society disorganized by it. The person,
who is found and proved guilty, should be punished properly. But on the basis
of doubts or by saying someone else, none should be accused of any evil deed. Shut
up your mouth! You consider that vilifying others is not a serious matter, but
it is a great crime in the Sight of Allaah Almighty.
