60. Hast thou not seen those who pretend that they
believe in that which is revealed unto thee and that which was revealed
before thee, how they would go for judgment (in their disputes) to false
deities when they have been ordered to abjure them? And Satan only wishes to
mislead them for astray.

Commentary
The children of Israel (the
Jews) used to support and show partiality during the act of judging the
law-suits usually by taking bribes etc. Maximum Hypocrites of Madinah used
to refer their matters to the scholars of the Jews for the purpose that they
would show them favor. They did not use to come unto the Messenger of Allah
Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) because they did know
that the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) would judge
according to the just and fact, and would not show partiality for anyone.
Once, a person from the Jews
and a Hypocrite quarreled with each other. The Jew was true. He said, “Let’s
refer the matter to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) for judgment”. The Hypocrite was a liar. He strengthened that the matter
should be referred to the scholar of the Jews “Ka’b bin Ashraf”.
Eventually they both brought the dispute to the Messenger (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon him). He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him) settled the matter in favor of the Jew. After coming out from that place,
the Hypocrite said to the Jew, “I don’t accept this decision. Let’s go to Omar
(may Allah Almighty be pleased with him), I shall accept that, which he (may
Allah Almighty be pleased with him) will decide”.
The both persons (the Jew and
the Hypocrite) reported to Omar (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) and
told about their dispute. When Omar (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him)
heard from the Jew that the matter had already been presented in the court of
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him) and He had finalized
the case in the favor of the Jew. Then Omar (may Allah Almighty be pleased with
him) drew the sword, killed the Hypocrite and said, “It is the decision for
him, who does not accept the judgment of the Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him)”.
The heirs of the Hypocrite
reported the matter in the court of Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and
peace be upon him) and sued against Omar (may Allah Almighty be pleased with
him) regarding execution of the Hypocrite. They began to swear that the matter
was brought to Him only for the purpose that a truce might be made mutually
among them (the Jew and the Hypocrite) by him (may Allah Almighty be pleased
with him).
At this occasion, this verse
was revealed, in which real fact was disclosed. Omar (may Allah Almighty be
pleased with him) was bestowed with the title of “Faaruuq” (the Finder
of the difference) upon this act.
