Commentary on 101:1–3
(فائدة)
وأما وقوعها [أي] نفيا لما قبلها نحو: مررت برجل أي رجل.
فأي تدرجت إلى الصفة من الاستفهام كان الأصل أي رجل هو على الاستفهام الذي يراد به التفخيم والتهويل.
وإنما دخله التفخيم لأنهم يريدون إظهار العجز والإحاطة لوصفه فكأنه مما يستفهم عنه بجهل كنهه فأدخلوه في باب الاستفهام الذي هو موضوع لما يجهل.
وكذلك جاء: ﴿القارِعَةُ ما القارِعَةُ﴾، ﴿الحاقَّةُ ما الحاقَّةُ﴾
أي أنها لا يحاط بوصفها فلما ثبت هذا اللفظ في باب التفخيم والتعظيم للشيء قرب من الوصف حتى أدخلوه في باب النعت، وأخروه في الإعراب عما قبله.
