وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
Abdel Haleem
By the sky and the night-comer––
Hafiz Ibn Kathir

سورة الطارق: قال عبدالله بن الإمام أحمد حدثنا أبي حدثنا عبدالله بن محمد قال عبدالله وسمعته أنا منه حدثنا مروان بن معاوية الفزاري عن عبدالله بن عبدالرحمن الطائفي عن عبدالرحمن بن خالد بن أبي جبل العدواني عن أبيه أنه أبصر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مشرق ثقيف وهو قائم على قوس أو عصى حين أتاهم يبتغي عندهم النصر فسمعته يقول "والسماء والطارق" حتى ختمها قال فوعيتها فى الجاهلية وأنا مشرك ثم قرأتها في الإسلام قال فدعتني ثقيف فقالوا ماذا سمعت من هذا الرجل؟ فقرأتها عليهم فقال من معهم من قريش نحن أعلم بصاحبنا لو كنا نعلم ما يقول حقا لاتبعناه. وقال النسائي حدثنا عمرو بن منصور حدثنا أبو نعيم عن مسعر عن محارب بن دثار عن جابر قال: صلى معاذ المغرب فقرأ البقرة والنساء فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "أفتان أنت يا معاذ ؟ ما كان يكفيك أن تقرأ بالسماء والطارق والشمس وضحاها ونحوها؟" يقسم تبارك وتعالى بالسماء وما جعل فيها من الكواكب النيرة ولهذا قال تعالى "والسماء والطارق".

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
Abdel Haleem
What will explain to you what the night-comer is
Hafiz Ibn Kathir

قال قتادة وغيره إنما سمي النجم طارقا لأنه إنما يرى بالليل ويختفي بالنهار ويؤيده ما جاء في الحديث الصحيح نهى أن يطرق الرجل أهله طروقا أي يأتيهم فجأة بالليل وفي الحديث الآخر المشتمل على الدعاء "إلا طارقا يطرق بخير يا رحمن".

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يعني صلب الرجل وترائب المرأة وهو صدرها. وقال شبيب بن بشر عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس "يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب" صلب الرجل وترائب المرأة أصفر رقيق لا يكون الولد إلا منهما وكذا قال سعيد بن جبير وعكرمة وقتادة والسدي وغيرهم وقال ابن أبي حاتم حدثنا أبو سعيد الأشج حدثنا أبوأسامة عن مسعر سمعت الحكم ذكر عن ابن عباس "يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب" قال هذه الترائب ووضع يده على صدره. وقال الضحاك وعطية عن ابن عباس تريبة المرأة موضع القلادة وكذا قال عكرمة وسعيد بن جبير. قال علي بن أبي طلحة عن ابن عباس الترائب بين ثدييها وعن مجاهد: الترائب ما بين المنكبين إلى الصدر وعنه أيضا الترائب أسفل من التراقي وقال سفيان الثوري: فوق الثديين وعن سعيد بن جبير الترائب أربعة أضلاع من هذا الجانب الأسفل وعن الضحاك الترائب بين الثديين والرجلين والعينين وقال الليث بن سعد عن معمر بن أبي جبيبة المدني أنه بلغه في قول الله عز وجل "يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب" قال وهو عصارة القلب من هناك يكون الولد وعن قتادة "يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب" من بين صلبه ونحره.
