(83) وَإِذَا جَاءهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِّنَ الأَمْنِ أَوِ الْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُواْ بِهِ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِلَى أُوْلِي
الأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَوْلاَ فَضْلُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُ لاَتَّبَعْتُمُ الشَّيْطَانَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
83. " And when there comes unto them a news of security or fear, they sprend it abroad; where as had they referdit to the messenger and those who investigate matters would have knownit (the truth); and were it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few."
Commentary:
Spreading private news and also rumors have always been injurious to Muslims. Difusion of secret news usually originates from these motives: simple - mindedness, vengeance, infliction, being subject to the will of thers greed in materials, gaudiness expression of information, etc. For the comprehensiveness that Islam has, it has referred to this subject and in this verse, it blames the divulgence of military secrets. It considers narrating the information of victory or failure before offering them to the leaders as the causes of 'false pride' and 'unappropriate fear from the fanciful enemy'. Had the warnings and the graces of Allah not existed the Muslims would fall in this Satanic path (the divulg ence of secrets).
Therefore, spreading gosip is one of the meapons of the hypocrites. However, the news of the bottle - field and military secrets must reach a central office and, after recognizing and evaluating them, some convenient part of them may be spread.
Hence, spreading military news and refraining from referring to the divine leaders is a kind of obedience from Satan.
Of course, the military and political affairs, together with leading the security news and social secrets, should be controlled under an administralionship that consists of an independent judgement and deduction this matter is among the deties of the rank of leadership. That is why there is a close connection between mastership and Islamic jurispradence.
" And when there comes unto them a news of security or fear, they sprend it abroad; where as had they referdit to the messenger and those who investigate matters would have knownit (the truth); and were it not for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would certainly have followed Satan, except a few."
