(Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews) up to His words (But those who disbelieve and deny Our revelations, they are owners of hell-fire) [5:82-86]. These verses were revealed about the Negus and his followers. Said Ibn Abbas: ﾓWhen he was in Mecca, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, used to fear the idolatersﾒ persecution of his Companions.
He therefore sent Jafar ibn Abi Talib and Abd Allah ibn Masud, at the head of a group of his Companions, to the Negus. He said: The Negus is a righteous man; he is not an oppressor and none is oppressed in his dominion. So head toward him and remain there until Allah creates relief for the Muslimsﾒ.
When they went to him, the Negus honoured them and then asked them: Do you memorise anything of that which was revealed to you?ﾒ They answered in the affirmative and then recited to him [some Qurﾒan,] with monks and priests surrounding him. Whenever they read a verse, the tears rolled down their cheeks due to the truth which they recognized.
Allah, exalted is He, says: (That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud)ﾔ. Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Farisi informed us> Muhammad ibn Abd Allah ibn Hamdun ibn al-Fadl> Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan> Muhammad ibn Yahya> Abu Salih, the scribe of al-Layth> al-Layth> Yunus> Ibn Shihab> Said ibn al-Musayyab and Urwah ibn al-Zubayr as well as others who said: ﾓThe Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, sent Amr ibn Umayyah al-Damri with a message to the Negus.
The latter read the message of the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and then called Jafar ibn Abi Talib and all the Emigrants with him and he also invited priests and monks to the assembly. He ordered Jafar ibn Abi Talib to recite to them from the Qurﾒan, and he read Surah Maryam, peace be upon her. They believed in the Qurﾒan and tears flowed from their eyes. It is about them that Allah, exalted is He, revealed (And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians) up to His words (Inscribe us as among the witnesses)ﾔ. Other commentators said: ﾓJafar ibn Abi Talib and his companions came from Abyssinia accompanied by a delegation from the Negus to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace. The delegation included seventy men, all wearing wool.
There were sixty-two from Abyssinia and eight from Syria: Bahirah the monk, Abrahah, Idris, Ashraf, Tammam, Quthaym, Durayd and Ayman. When the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, recited to them Surah Yasin, they wept and believed. They commented: How similar is this to what used to be revealed to Jesusﾒ. And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed about them these versesﾔ. Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Adl informed us> Zahir ibn Ahmad>
Abuﾒl-Qasim al-Baghawi> Ali ibn al-Jad> Sharik> Salim> Said ibn Jubayr who, commenting on Allahﾒs words (That is because there are among them priests and monks), said: ﾓThe Negus sent thirty men among his best subjects to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace. When the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, recited to them Surah Yasin, they wept, and so this verse was revealedﾔ.
وَمَا لَنَا لاَ نُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَمَا جَاءنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَنَطْمَعُ أَن يُدْخِلَنَا رَبَّنَا مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الصَّالِحِينَ ﴿٨٤﴾
"And why should we not believe in Allah and in that which has come to us of the truth And We wish that our Lord will admit us (in Paradise) along with the righteous people.''
Such sect of Christians are those mentioned in Allah's statement,
وَإِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَـبِ لَمَن يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خَـشِعِينَ للَّهِ
And there are, certainly, among the People of the Scripture, those who believe in Allah and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before Allah. (3:199)
and,
الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِهِ هُم بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ
وَإِذَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبْلِهِ مُسْلِمِينَ
Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it (the Qur'an). And when it is recited to them, they say, "We believe in it. Verily, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed even before it we were Muslims.'' (28:52-53) until, لَا نَبْتَغِي الْجَاهِلِينَ "We seek not the ignorant.'' (28:55)
This is why Allah said here,
يقول تعالى " وما لنا لا نؤمن بالله وما جاءنا من الحق ونطمع أن يدخلنا ربنا مع القوم الصالحين " وهذا الصنف من النصارى هم المذكورون في قوله تعالى " وإن من أهل الكتاب لمن يؤمن بالله وما أنزل إليكم وما أنزل إليهم خاشعين لله " الآية وهم الذين قال الله فيهم " الذين آتيناهم الكتاب من قبله هم به يؤمنون وإذا يتلى عليهم قالوا آمنا به إنه الحق من ربنا إنا كنا من قبله مسلمين" إلى قوله " لا نبتغي الجاهلين " .
"و" قالوا في جواب من عيرهم بالإسلام من اليهود "ما لنا لا نؤمن بالله وما جاءنا من الحق" القرآن أي لا مانع لنا من الإيمان مع وجود مقتضيه "ونطمع" عطف على نؤمن "أن يدخلنا ربنا مع القوم الصالحين" المؤمنين الجنة
بين استبصارهم في الدين ; أي يقولون وما لنا لا نؤمن ; أي وما لنا تاركين الإيمان . ف " نؤمن " في موضع نصب على الحال .
