Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 171–180 of 286

171

وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءًۭ وَنِدَآءًۭ ۚ صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌۭ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.

﴿وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ﴾: صِفَتُهم مع مَن يَدْعُوهم إلى الهُدى.

﴿ٱلَّذِي يَنۡعِقُ﴾: هو الرّاعِي الذي يَصيحُ بالبهائمِ، ويَزْجُرُها، وهي لا تَفْهَمُ معنى كلامِه، وإنما تَسْمَعُ صوته.

﴿صُمُّۢ﴾: سَدُّوا أسماعَهم عن الحقِّ.

﴿بُكۡمٌ﴾: أسْكَتُوا ألسنتَهم عن النُّطْقِ بالحقِّ.

﴿عُمۡيࣱ﴾: لا يَرَوْن أدلَّةَ الحقِّ.

172

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ لِلَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ

O you who have believed, eat from the good things which We have provided for you and be grateful to Allah if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.

173

إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ بِهِۦ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍۢ وَلَا عَادٍۢ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ

He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

﴿وَمَآ أُهِلَّ بِهِۦ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ﴾: هي الذَّبائحُ التي يُذْكَرُ عند ذَبْحِها غيرُ اللهِ.

﴿غَيۡرَ بَاغࣲ﴾: غيرَ طالِبٍ للمُحَرَّمِ، مع كونهِ لا يجدُ غيرَ ما ذُكِرَ، مما أحَلَّه اللهُ.

﴿وَلَا عَادࣲ﴾: ولا مُتَجاوزٍ حَدَّ الضَّرورةِ.

174

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ وَيَشْتَرُونَ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًا ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِى بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ ٱللَّهُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Indeed, they who conceal what Allah has sent down of the Book and exchange it for a small price - those consume not into their bellies except the Fire. And Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them. And they will have a painful punishment.

﴿ٱلَّذِينَ يَكۡتُمُونَ﴾: هم أهلُ الكتابِ الذين يُخْفُون.

﴿مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ﴾: من صفةِ محمدٍ ﷺ وغيرِ ذلك من الحقِّ.

﴿وَيَشۡتَرُونَ بِهِۦ ثَمَنࣰا قَلِيلًا﴾: يأخذون مُقابِلَ الإخفاءِ قليلًا مِن عَرَضِ الدُّنيا.

﴿إِلَّا ٱلنَّارَ﴾: إلا ما يُورِدُهم النارَ.

﴿وَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ﴾: ولا يُطَهِّرُهم

أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَٰلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْعَذَابَ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ

Those are the ones who have exchanged guidance for error and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are in pursuit of the Fire!

176

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَفِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍۢ

That is [deserved by them] because Allah has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.

﴿شِقَاقِۭ بَعِيدࣲ﴾: مُنازَعَةٍ بعيدةٍ عن الصَّوابِ.

Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle.
