قَالَ رَبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِأَخِى وَأَدْخِلْنَا فِى رَحْمَتِكَ ۖ وَأَنتَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

152

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌۭ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ

Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا الْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاة﴾ يَعْنِي: الْجِزْيَةَ ﴿وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُفْتَرِينَ﴾ الْكَاذِبِينَ الَّذِينَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ الْعِجْلَ إلههم

153

وَٱلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ ثُمَّ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا وَءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ

But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.

154

وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَن مُّوسَى ٱلْغَضَبُ أَخَذَ ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ ۖ وَفِى نُسْخَتِهَا هُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ هُمْ لِرَبِّهِمْ يَرْهَبُونَ

And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.

﴿وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَنْ مُوسَى الْغَضَبُ﴾ أَيْ: سَكَنَ ﴿أَخَذَ الأَلْوَاحَ وَفِي نسختها﴾ يَعْنِي: الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي نُسِخَتْ مِنْهُ التَّوْرَاة.

155

وَٱخْتَارَ مُوسَىٰ قَوْمَهُۥ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًۭا لِّمِيقَٰتِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّآ أَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلرَّجْفَةُ قَالَ رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُم مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِيَّٰىَ ۖ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَّآ ۖ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا فِتْنَتُكَ تُضِلُّ بِهَا مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَهْدِى مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا فَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَا ۖ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْغَٰفِرِينَ

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.

﴿وَاخْتَارَ مُوسَى قَوْمَهُ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلا﴾ الآيَةَ.

قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: مِنْ كَلامِ الْعَرَب: اخْتَرْتُك (ل ١١١) الْقَوْمَ؛ أَيْ: مِنَ الْقَوْمِ.

قَالَ الْكَلْبِيّ:

إِن السّبْعين قَالَ لِمُوسَى حِينَ كَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ: يَا مُوسَى لَنَا عَلَيْكَ حَقٌّ كُنَّا أَصْحَابَكَ وَلَمْ نَخْتَلِفْ، وَلَمْ نَصْنَعِ الَّذِي صَنَعَ قَوْمُنَا؛ فَأَرِنَا اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً كَمَا رَأَيْتَهُ، فَقَالَ مُوسَى: لَا وَاللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهُ، وَلَقَدْ أَرَدْتُهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَأَبَى وَتَجَلَّى لِلْجَبَلِ فَكَانَ دَكًّا وَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي، وَخَرَرْتُ صَعِقًا، فَلَمَّا أَفَقْتُ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِالْخَطِيئَةِ. فَقَالُوا: إِنَّا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ؛ فَاحْتَرَقُوا مِنْ آخِرِهِمْ، فَظَنَّ مُوسَى أَنَّهُمْ إِنَّمَا احْتَرَقُوا بِخَطِيئَةِ أَصْحَابِ الْعِجْلِ، فَقَالَ مُوسَى: ﴿رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ أَهْلَكْتَهُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَإِيَّايَ أَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَّا﴾ يَعْنِي: أَصْحَابَ الْعِجْلِ ﴿إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا فتنتك﴾ إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ، ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُمُ الله من بعد مَوْتهمْ.

۞ وَٱكْتُبْ لَنَا فِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةًۭ وَفِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ إِنَّا هُدْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ عَذَابِىٓ أُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَنْ أَشَآءُ ۖ وَرَحْمَتِى وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍۢ ۚ فَسَأَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses -

﴿إِنَّا هدنا إِلَيْك﴾ أَيْ: تُبْنَا.

﴿وَرَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْء﴾ يَعْنِي: أَهْلَهَا. لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ، تَطَاوَلَ لَهَا إِبْلِيسُ، وَقَالَ: أَنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْءِ، وَطَمِعَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ الْكِتَابَيْنِ، فَقَالَ اللَّهُ: ﴿فسأكتبها﴾ يَعْنِي: فسأجعلها ﴿للَّذين يَتَّقُونَ﴾ الشّرك ﴿وَيُؤْتونَ الزَّكَاة﴾ التَّوْحِيد.

ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلرَّسُولَ ٱلنَّبِىَّ ٱلْأُمِّىَّ ٱلَّذِى يَجِدُونَهُۥ مَكْتُوبًا عِندَهُمْ فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُم بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَىٰهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْخَبَٰٓئِثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَٱلْأَغْلَٰلَ ٱلَّتِى كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَعَزَّرُوهُ وَنَصَرُوهُ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلنُّورَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ مَعَهُۥٓ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

﴿وَيحل لَهُم الطَّيِّبَات﴾ يَعْنِي: الشُّحُومَ وَكُلَّ ذِي ظُفُرٍ ﴿وَيحرم عَلَيْهِم الْخَبَائِث﴾ يَعْنِي: الْحَرَامَ ﴿وَيَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ﴾ ثِقَلَهُمْ؛ وَهُوَ مَا كَانَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ.

﴿وَالأَغْلالَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ﴾ يَعْنِي: مَا كَانَ شُدِّدَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهِ.

﴿وعزروه﴾ أَيْ: عَظَّمُوهُ ﴿وَاتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أنزل مَعَه﴾ أَي: عَلَيْهِ؛ يَعْنِي: الْقُرْآن.

قُلْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعًا ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ٱلنَّبِىِّ ٱلْأُمِّىِّ ٱلَّذِى يُؤْمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَٱتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ

Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

﴿يُؤمن بِاللَّه وكلماته﴾ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: يَعْنِي: وَحْيَهُ الَّذِي أنزل على مُحَمَّد.

وَمِن قَوْمِ مُوسَىٰٓ أُمَّةٌۭ يَهْدُونَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَبِهِۦ يَعْدِلُونَ

And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.

﴿وَمن قوم مُوسَى أمة﴾ أَي: جمَاعَة ﴿يهْدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ﴾ أَيْ: يَدْعُونَ إِلَيْهِ ﴿وَبِه يعدلُونَ﴾ يحكمون.

وَقَطَّعْنَٰهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًۭا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًۭا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍۢ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَٰمَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.

﴿وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا﴾ يَعْنِي: بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

قَالَ محمدٌ: (الأَسْبَاطُ): الْقَبَائِلُ، وَاحِدُهَا: سِبْطٌ، وَالسِّبْطُ فِي اللُّغَة: الْجَمَاعَة الَّذين يرجعُونَ إِلَى أبٍ وَاحِدٍ.

﴿وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِب بعصاك الْحجر﴾ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ﴿بِمَا كَانُوا يَظْلِمُونَ﴾ وَقَدْ فَسَّرْنَا أَمْرَهُمْ فِي سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَة.
