Commentary on 11:66
﴿فَلَمّا جاءَ أمْرُنا﴾ أيْ عَذابُنا أوْ أمَرْنا بِنُزُولِهِ، وفِيهِ ما لا يَخْفى مِنَ التَّهْوِيلِ ﴿نَجَّيْنا صالِحًا والَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ﴾ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِنَجَّيْنا أوْ بِآمَنُوا ﴿بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنّا﴾ أيْ بِسَبَبِها أوْ مُلْتَبِسِينَ بِها، وفي التَّنْوِينِ والوَصْفِ نَوْعانِ مِنَ التَّعْظِيمِ ﴿ومِن خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذٍ﴾ أيْ نَجَّيْناهم مِن خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذٍ وهو الهَلاكُ بِالصَّيْحَةِ وهَذا كَقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿ونَجَّيْناهم مِن عَذابٍ غَلِيظٍ﴾ عَلى مَعْنى إنّا نَجَّيْناهُمْ، وكانَتْ تِلْكَ التَّنْجِيَةُ مِن خِزْيِ يَوْمِئِذٍ، وجَوَّزَ أنْ يُرادَ ونَجَّيْناهم مِن ذُلِّ وفَضِيحَةِ يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ أيْ مِن عَذابِهِ، فَهَذِهِ الآيَةُ كَآيَةِ هُودٍ سَواءً بِسَواءٍ.
وتَعَقَّبَ أبُو حَيّانَ هَذا بِأنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِجَيِّدٍ إذْ لَمْ تَتَقَدَّمْ جُمْلَةٌ ذُكِرَ فِيها يَوْمُ القِيامَةِ لِيَكُونَ التَّنْوِينُ عِوَضًا عَنْ ذَلِكَ، والمَذْكُورُ إنَّما هو جاءَ أمْرُنا فَلْيُقَدَّرْ يَوْمَ إذْ جاءَ أمْرُنا وهو جَيِّدٌ، والدَّفْعُ بِأنَّ القَرِينَةَ قَدْ تَكُونُ غَيْرَ لَفْظِيَّةٍ كَما هُنا فِيهِ نَظَرٌ، وقِيلَ: القَرِينَةُ قَوْلُهُ سُبْحانَهُ فِيما مَرَّ: ( عَذابُ غَلِيظٍ ) وفِيهِ ما فِيهِ، وقِيلَ: الواوُ زائِدَةٌ فَيَتَعَلَّقُ (مِن) بِنَجَّيْنا المَذْكُورِ، وهَذا لا يَجُوزُ عِنْدَ البَصْرِيِّينَ لِأنَّ الواوَ لا تُزادُ عِنْدَهم فَيُوجِبُونَ هُنا التَّعَلُّقَ بِمَحْذُوفٍ وهو مَعْطُوفٌ عَلى ما تَقَدَّمَ، وقَرَأ طَلْحَةُ، وأبانَ (ومِن خِزْيٍ) بِالتَّنْوِينِ ونَصْبِ (يَوْمَئِذٍ) عَلى الظَّرْفِيَّةِ مَعْمُولًا لِخِزْيٍ، وعَنْ نافِعٍ والكِسائِيِّ أنَّهُما قَرَآ بِالإضافَةِ وفَتَحِ –يَوْمَ- لِأنَّهُ مُضافٌ إلى إذْ وهو غَيْرُ مُتَمَكِّنٍ، وهَذا كَما فُتِحَ حِينَ في قَوْلِ النّابِغَةِ:
عَلى (حِينَ) عاتَبْتَ المَشِيبَ عَلى الصِّبا فَقُلْتَ: ألَمّا أصْحُ والشَّيْبُ وازِعُ
﴿إنَّ رَبَّكَ﴾ خِطابٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللَّهُ تَعالى عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّمَ ﴿هُوَ القَوِيُّ العَزِيزُ﴾ أيِ القادِرُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ والغالِبُ عَلَيْهِ في كُلِّ وقْتٍ ويَنْدَرِجُ في ذَلِكَ الإنْجاءُ والإهْلاكُ في ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ،

11:63
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ أَرَءَيۡتُمۡ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٖ مِّن رَّبِّي وَءَاتَىٰنِي مِنۡهُ رَحۡمَةٗ فَمَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ إِنۡ عَصَيۡتُهُۥۖ فَمَا تَزِيدُونَنِي غَيۡرَ تَخۡسِيرٖ ٦٣
He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me mercy from Himself, who would protect me from Allāh if I disobeyed Him? So you would not increase me except in loss.
11:64
وَيَٰقَوۡمِ هَٰذِهِۦ نَاقَةُ ٱللَّهِ لَكُمۡ ءَايَةٗۖ فَذَرُوهَا تَأۡكُلۡ فِيٓ أَرۡضِ ٱللَّهِۖ وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوٓءٖ فَيَأۡخُذَكُمۡ عَذَابٞ قَرِيبٞ ٦٤
And O my people, this is the she-camel of Allāh - [she is] to you a sign. So let her feed upon Allāh's earth and do not touch her with harm, or you will be taken by an impending punishment."
11:65
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَقَالَ تَمَتَّعُواْ فِي دَارِكُمۡ ثَلَٰثَةَ أَيَّامٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ وَعۡدٌ غَيۡرُ مَكۡذُوبٖ ٦٥
But they hamstrung her, so he said, "Enjoy yourselves in your homes for three days. That is a promise not to be denied [i.e., unfailing]."
11:66
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا نَجَّيۡنَا صَٰلِحٗا وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ بِرَحۡمَةٖ مِّنَّا وَمِنۡ خِزۡيِ يَوۡمِئِذٍۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡقَوِيُّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٦٦
So when Our command came, We saved Ṣāliḥ and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us, and [saved them] from the disgrace of that day.1 Indeed, it is your Lord who is the Powerful, the Exalted in Might.

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَتۡ رُسُلُنَآ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ بِٱلۡبُشۡرَىٰ قَالُواْ سَلَٰمٗاۖ قَالَ سَلَٰمٞۖ فَمَا لَبِثَ أَن جَآءَ بِعِجۡلٍ حَنِيذٖ ٦٩

But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension.1 They said, "Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot."
