۞ قُلۡ أُوحِیَ إِلَیَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡءَانًا عَجَبࣰا ۝١
Abdel Haleem
Say [Prophet], ‘It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn once listened in and said, “We have heard a wondrous Quran
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

أي: { قُلْ } يا أيها الرسول للناس { أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ } صرفهم الله [إلى رسوله] لسماع آياته لتقوم عليهم الحجة [وتتم عليهم النعمة] ويكونوا نذرا لقومهم. وأمر الله رسوله أن يقص نبأهم على الناس، وذلك أنهم لما حضروه، قالوا: أنصتوا، فلما أنصتوا فهموا معانيه، ووصلت حقائقه إلى قلوبهم، { فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا } أي: من العجائب الغالية، والمطالب العالية.

یَهۡدِیۤ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَءَامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ أَحَدࣰا ۝٢

that gives guidance to the right path, and we have come to believe it––We shall never set up partners with our Lord––
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ } والرشد: اسم جامع لكل ما يرشد الناس إلى مصالح دينهم ودنياهم، { فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا } فجمعوا بين الإيمان الذي يدخل فيه جميع أعمال الخير، وبين التقوى، [المتضمنة لترك الشر] وجعلوا السبب الداعي لهم إلى الإيمان وتوابعه، ما علموه من إرشادات القرآن، وما اشتمل عليه من المصالح والفوائد واجتناب المضار، فإن ذلك آية عظيمة، وحجة قاطعة، لمن استنار به، واهتدى بهديه، وهذا الإيمان النافع، المثمر لكل خير، المبني على هداية القرآن، بخلاف إيمان العوائد، والمربى والإلف ونحو ذلك، فإنه إيمان تقليد تحت خطر الشبهات والعوارض الكثيرة،

قُلۡ إِنِّی لَن یُجِیرَنِی مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدࣱ وَلَنۡ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلۡتَحَدًا ۝٢٢

Say, ‘No one can protect me from God: I have no refuge except in Him
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ } أي: لا أحد أستجير به ينقذني من عذاب الله، وإذا كان الرسول الذي هو أكمل الخلق، لا يملك ضرا ولا رشدا، ولا يمنع نفسه من الله [شيئا] إن أراده بسوء، فغيره من الخلق من باب أولى وأحرى.{ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا } أي: ملجأ ومنتصرا.

إِلَّا بَلَـٰغࣰا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِسَـٰلَـٰتِهِۦۚ وَمَن یَعۡصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِینَ فِیهَاۤ أَبَدًا ۝٢٣
Abdel Haleem
I only deliver [what I receive] from God- only His messages.’ Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will have Hell’s Fire as his permanent home
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ } أي: ليس لي مزية على الناس، إلا أن الله خصني بإبلاغ رسالاته ودعوة الخلق إلى الله، وبهذا تقوم الحجة على الناس. { وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا } وهذا المراد به المعصية الكفرية، كما قيدتها النصوص الأخر المحكمة.وأما مجرد المعصية، فإنه لا يوجب الخلود في النار، كما دلت على ذلك آيات القرآن، والأحاديث عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، وأجمع عليه سلف الأمة وأئمة هذه الأمة.

حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا رَأَوۡا۟ مَا یُوعَدُونَ فَسَیَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَضۡعَفُ نَاصِرࣰا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدࣰا ۝٢٤
Abdel Haleem
when they are confronted by what they have been warned about, they will realize who has the weaker protector and the smaller number
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ } أي: شاهدوه عيانا، وجزموا أنه واقع بهم، { فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ } في ذلك الوقت حقيقة المعرفة { مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا } حين لا ينصرهم غيرهم ولا أنفسهم ينتصرون، وإذ يحشرون فرادى كما خلقوا أول مرة.

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولࣲ فَإِنَّهُۥ یَسۡلُكُ مِنۢ بَیۡنِ یَدَیۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦ رَصَدࣰا ۝٢٧
Abdel Haleem
He does not disclose it except to a messenger of His choosing. He sends watchers to go in front and behin
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِنْ رَسُولٍ } أي: فإنه يخبره بما اقتضت حكمته أن يخبره به، وذلك لأن الرسل ليسوا كغيرهم، فإن الله أيدهم بتأييد ما أيده أحدا من الخلق، وحفظ ما أوحاه إليهم حتى يبلغوه على حقيقته، من غير أن تتخبطهم الشياطين، ولا يزيدوا فيه أو ينقصوا، ولهذا قال: { فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا } أي: يحفظونه بأمر الله.

لِّیَعۡلَمَ أَن قَدۡ أَبۡلَغُوا۟ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیۡهِمۡ وَأَحۡصَىٰ كُلَّ شَیۡءٍ عَدَدَۢا ۝٢٨
Abdel Haleem
to ensure that each of His messengers delivers his Lord’s message: He knows all about them, and He takes account of everything
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ لِيَعْلَمَ } بذلك { أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ } بما جعله لهم من الأسباب، { وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ } أي: بما عندهم، وما أسروه وأعلنوه، { وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا } وفي هذه السورة فوائد كثيرة: منها: وجود الجن، وأنهم مكلفون مأمورون مكلفون منهيون، مجازون بأعمالهم، كما هو صريح في هذه السورة.ومنها: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رسول إلى الجن، كما هو رسول إلى الإنس ، فإن الله صرف نفر الجن ليستمعوا ما يوحى إليه ويبلغوا قومهم.ومنها: ذكاء الجن ومعرفتهم بالحق، وأن الذي ساقهم إلى الإيمان هو ما تحققوه من هداية القرآن، وحسن أدبهم في خطابهم.ومنها: اعتناء الله برسوله، وحفظه لما جاء به، فحين ابتدأت بشائر نبوته، والسماء محروسة بالنجوم، والشياطين قد هربت عن أماكنها، وأزعجت عن مراصدها، وأن الله رحم به الأرض وأهلها رحمة ما يقدر لها قدر، وأراد بهم ربهم رشدا، فأراد أن يظهر من دينه وشرعه ومعرفته في الأرض، ما تبتهج به القلوب، وتفرح به أولو الألباب، وتظهر به شعائر الإسلام، وينقمع به أهل الأوثان والأصنام.ومنها: شدة حرص الجن لاستماع الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم، وتراكمهم عليه.ومنها: أن هذه السورة قد اشتملت على الأمر بالتوحيد والنهي عن الشرك، وبينت حالة الخلق، وأن كل أحد منهم لا يستحق من العبادة مثقال ذرة، لأن الرسول محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم، إذا كان لا يملك لأحد نفعا ولا ضرا، بل ولا يملك لنفسه، علم أن الخلق كلهم كذلك، فمن الخطأ والغلط اتخاذ من هذا وصفه إلها [آخر] مع الله. ومنها: أن علوم الغيوب قد انفرد الله بعلمها، فلا يعلمها أحد من الخلق، إلا من ارتضاه الله وخصه بعلم شيء منها. تم تفسير سورة قل أوحي إلي، ولله الحمد
