لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ مُنفَكِّينَ حَتَّىٰ تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ
Abdel Haleem
Those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters were not about to change their ways until they were sent clear evidence
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

يقول تعالى: { لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ } أي: [من] اليهود والنصارى { وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ } من سائر أصناف الأمم.{ مُنْفَكِّينَ } عن كفرهم وضلالهم الذي هم عليه، أي: لا يزالون في غيهم وضلالهم، لا يزيدهم مرور السنين إلا كفرًا.{ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ } الواضحة، والبرهان الساطع.

رَسُولٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو صُحُفًا مُّطَهَّرَةً
Abdel Haleem
a messenger from God, reading out pages [blessed with] purity
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

ثم فسر تلك البينة فقال: { رَسُولٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ } أي: أرسله الله، يدعو الناس إلى الحق، وأنزل عليه كتابًا يتلوه، ليعلم الناس الحكمة ويزكيهم، ويخرجهم من الظلمات إلى النور{ يَتْلُو صُحُفًا مُطَهَّرَةً } أي: محفوظة عن قربان الشياطين، لا يمسها إلا المطهرون، لأنها في أعلى ما يكون من الكلام.

فِيهَا كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ
Abdel Haleem
containing true scriptures
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ فِيهَا } أي: في تلك الصحف { كُتُبٌ قَيِّمَةٌ } أي: أخبار صادقة، وأوامر عادلة تهدي إلى الحق وإلى صراط مستقيم، فإذا جاءتهم هذه البينة، فحينئذ يتبين طالب الحق ممن ليس له مقصد في طلبه، فيهلك من هلك عن بينة، ويحيا من حي عن بينة.

وَمَا تَفَرَّقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ إِلَّا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ
Abdel Haleem
[Yet] those who were given the Scripture became divided only after they were sent [such] clear evi-denc
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

وإذا لم يؤمن أهل الكتاب لهذا الرسول وينقادوا له، فليس ذلك ببدع من ضلالهم وعنادهم، فإنهم ما تفرقوا واختلفوا وصاروا أحزابًا { إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ } التي توجب لأهلها الاجتماع والاتفاق، ولكنهم لرداءتهم ونذالتهم، لم يزدهم الهدى إلا ضلالًا، ولا البصيرة إلا عمى، مع أن الكتب كلها جاءت بأصل واحد، ودين واحد.

وَمَا أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ حُنَفَاءَ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَذَٰلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ
Abdel Haleem
though all they are ordered to do is worship God alone, sincerely devoting their religion to Him as people of true faith, keep up the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms, for that is the true religion
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

فما أمروا في سائر الشرائع إلا أن يعبدوا { اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ } أي: قاصدين بجميع عباداتهم الظاهرة والباطنة وجه الله، وطلب الزلفى لديه، { حُنَفَاءَ } أي: معرضين [مائلين] عن سائر الأديان المخالفة لدين التوحيد. وخص الصلاة والزكاة [بالذكر] مع أنهما داخلان في قوله { لِيَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ } لفضلهما وشرفهما، وكونهما العبادتين اللتين من قام بهما قام بجميع شرائع الدين.{ وَذَلِكَ } أي التوحيد والإخلاص في الدين، هو { دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ } أي: الدين المستقيم، الموصل إلى جنات النعيم، وما سواه فطرق موصلة إلى الجحيم.

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أُولَٰئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ
Abdel Haleem
Those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters will have the Fire of Hell, there to remain. They are the worst of creation
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

ثم ذكر جزاء الكافرين بعدما جاءتهم البينة، فقال: { إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ } قد أحاط بهم عذابها، واشتد عليهم عقابها، { خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا } لا يفتر عنهم العذاب، وهم فيها مبلسون، { أُولَئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ } لأنهم عرفوا الحق وتركوه، وخسروا الدنيا والآخرة.

{ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ أُولَئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ } لأنهم عبدوا الله وعرفوه، وفازوا بنعيم الدنيا والآخرة.

جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا رَّضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ
Abdel Haleem
Their reward with their Lord is everlasting Gardens graced with flowing streams, where they will stay forever. God is well pleased with them and they with Him. All this is for those who stand in awe of their Lord
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

{ جَزَاؤُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ } أي: جنات إقامة، لا ظعن فيها ولا رحيل، ولا طلب لغاية فوقها، { تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ } فرضي عنهم بما قاموا به من مراضيه، ورضوا عنه، بما أعد لهم من أنواع الكرامات وجزيل المثوبات { ذَلِكَ } الجزاء الحسن { لِمَنْ خَشِيَ رَبَّهُ } أي: لمن خاف الله، فأحجم عن معاصيه، وقام بواجباته [تمت بحمد لله]
