Commentary on 104:1–9
وهي مكّيّة
تقدم تفسير: وَيْلٌ وال هُمَزَةٍ: الذي يَهْمِزُ الناسَ بلسانهِ، أي: يَعيبُهم ويَغْتَابُهم، وال لُمَزَةٍ: قريبٌ في المعنَى مِنْ هَذَا، وَقَدْ تَقَدم بيانُه في قوله تعالى: وَلا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ [الحجرات: 11] ، وفي قوله: الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ [التوبة: 79] وغيرهِ، قيل: نَزَلَتْ هذه الآيةُ في الأَخْنَسِ بن شُرَيْق، وقِيلَ في جميل بن عامر، ثم هِي تتناولُ كلَّ منِ اتَّصَفَ بهذه الصفاتِ.
وَعَدَّدَهُ معناه: أحْصَاهُ وحافظَ على عَدَدِهِ أن لا ينتقص، وقال الداوديّ:
وَعَدَّدَهُ: أي: اسْتَعَدَّه، انتهى، لَيُنْبَذَنَّ: لَيُطْرَحَنَّ- ص-: نارُ اللَّهِ: خَبَرُ مبتدإٍ مَحْذُوفٍ، أي: هي نار الله، انتهى.
والَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ: أي: الَّتِي يَبْلُغَ إحْرَاقَها وألمهَا القلوبُ.
و «موصدة» : أي مُطْبَقَة مُغْلَقَة.
فِي عَمَدٍ جَمْعِ عَمُودٍ، وقرأ ابن مسعود [[ينظر: «المحرر الوجيز» (5/ 522) .]] : «مُؤصَدَةٌ بِعَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ» وقال ابن زيد:
المعنى: في عمد حديد مغلولين بها، والكلّ من نار [[أخرجه الطبري (12/ 690) ، (37947) ، وذكره ابن عطية (5/ 522) .]] ، عافانا الله من ذلك.
