(1). 3317. 'Ikrimah narrated that Ibn 'Abbās was asked by a man about this Āyah: O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies for you; therefore beware of them![1] He said: "These are men who submitted (to Islam) in Makkah, and they wanted to come to the Prophet ﷺ but their wives and children refused to allow them to come to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So when they came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, they saw that the people had gained such understanding in the religion that they wanted to punish them (their families). So Allāh revealed the Āyah: O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your
children there are enemies for you; therefore beware of them!" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Some among a person's family and dependents are his enemies, who stop him from discharging his duties to Allāh. Though they do so with good intention, but the consequences of this emerge as ruin and destruction for the person. Accordingly, they play a real role of enmity to him.
