Commentary on 104:2
قوله: {الذى جَمَعَ} : يجوزُ جرُّه بدلاً، ونصبُه ورفعُه على القطع. ولا يجوزُ جَرُّه نعتاً ولا بياناً لتغايُرِهما تعريفاً وتنكيراً. وقولُه: «جَمَعَ» قرأ الأخَوان وابن عامر بتشديدِ الميم على المبالغةِ والتكثيرِ، ولأنَّه يوافِقُ «عَدَّدَه» والباقون «جمَعَ» مخففاً وهي محتمِلَةٌ للتكثيرِ وعدمِه.
قوله: «وعَدَّدَه» العامَّةُ على تثقيل الدالِ الأول، وهو أيضاً للمبالغةِ. وقرأ الحسن والكلبُّي بتخفيفِها. وفيه أوجهٌ، أحدُها: أنَّ المعنى: جَمَعَ مالاً وعَدَدَ ذلك المالَ، أي: وجَمَعَ عَدَدَه، أي: أحصاه. والثاني: أنَّ المعنى: وجَمَعَ عَدَدَ نفسِه مِنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ وأقاربِه، و «عَدَدَه» على هَذَيْنِ التأويلَيْنِ اسمٌ معطوفٌ على «مالاً» أي: وجَمَعَ عَدَدَ المالِ أو عَدَدَ نفسِه. الثالث: أنَّ «عَدَدَه» فعلٌ ماضٍ بمعنى عَدَّه، إلاَّ أنَّه شَذَّ في إظهارِه كما شَذَّ في قولِه:
