Back to full surahAt-Tawbah 9:61
وَمِنْهُمُ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ ۚ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ ۚ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ٦١

“And of them are those who vex the Prophet and say: He is only a hearer. Say: A hearer of good for you, who believeth in Allah and is true to the believers, and a mercy for such of you as believe. Those who vex the messenger of Allah, for them there is a painful doom.” (9:61)
Hypocrites annoy the Prophet
Allah says, some hypocrites bother the Messenger of Allah by questioning his character, saying,
هُوَ أُذُنٌ
(he is (lending his) ear), to those who say anything about us; he believes whoever talks to him. Therefore, if we went to him and swore, he would believe us. Similar was reported from Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah. Allah said,
قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَّكُمْ
(Say: "He listens to what is best for you"), he knows who's saying the truth and who is lying,
يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(he believes in Allah; has faith in the believers), he believes the believers,
وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ
(and is a mercy to those of you who believe"), and a proof against the disbelievers,
وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
(But those who annoy Allah's Messenger, will have a painful torment.)
