Commentary on 13:42–43
قَوْله تَعَالَى: ﴿وَقد مكر الَّذين من قبلهم﴾ الْمَكْر: إِيصَال الْمَكْرُوه إِلَى الْإِنْسَان من حَيْثُ لَا يشْعر. قَوْله ﴿فَللَّه الْمَكْر جَمِيعًا﴾ أَي عِنْد الله جَزَاء مَكْرهمْ جَمِيعًا. وَقيل إِن الله خَالق مَكْرهمْ جَمِيعًا. وَقَوله: ﴿يعلم مَا تكسب كل نفس﴾ ظَاهر الْمَعْنى ﴿وَسَيعْلَمُ الْكفَّار لمن عُقبى الدَّار﴾ لمن عَاقِبَة الدَّار، وَالْآيَة تهديد ووعيد. وَقَوله: ﴿وَيَقُول الَّذين كفرُوا لست مُرْسلا﴾ ظَاهر الْمَعْنى. وَقَوله: ﴿قل كفى بِاللَّه شَهِيدا﴾ أَي: شَاهدا ﴿بيني وَبَيْنكُم﴾ .
وَقَوله: ﴿وَمن عِنْده علم الْكتاب﴾ قَالَ قَتَادَة: هُوَ عبد الله بن سَلام، وَقيل: عبد الله بن سَلام وسلمان الْفَارِسِي وَتَمِيم الدَّارِيّ، وعَلى هَذَا جمَاعَة من التَّابِعين، وَأنكر الشّعبِيّ وَعِكْرِمَة وَجَمَاعَة هَذَا القَوْل، وَقَالُوا: السُّورَة مَكِّيَّة، وَعبد الله بن سَلام أسلم بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَأَيْضًا فَإِن الله تَعَالَى كَيفَ يستشهد بمخلوق، وَإِنَّمَا المُرَاد مِنْهُ هُوَ الله تَعَالَى. وَقد قَرَأَ ابْن عَبَّاس: " وَمن عِنْده علم الْكتاب " وَهَذَا يبين أَن المُرَاد [مِنْهُ] هُوَ الله تَعَالَى.
وعنى عبد الله بن سَلام نَفسه، قَالَ: أَنا المُرَاد بِالْآيَةِ.
وَعَن الْحسن وَمُجاهد أَن المُرَاد هُوَ الله.
وَسَعِيد بن جُبَير قَالَ: هُوَ جِبْرِيل - عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام - وَالصَّحِيح أحد الْقَوْلَيْنِ الْأَوَّلين، وَالله أعلم.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
14:1
الٓرۚ كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ لِتُخۡرِجَ ٱلنَّاسَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ ١
Alif, Lām, Rā.1 [This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord - to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy -

14:2
ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَوَيۡلٞ لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ مِنۡ عَذَابٖ شَدِيدٍ ٢
Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And woe [i.e., destruction] to the disbelievers from a severe punishment -
14:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَحِبُّونَ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا عَلَى ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبۡغُونَهَا عِوَجًاۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ فِي ضَلَٰلِۭ بَعِيدٖ ٣
The ones who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter and avert [people] from the way of Allāh, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. Those are in extreme error.
14:4
وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوۡمِهِۦ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمۡۖ فَيُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٤
And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in the language of his people to state clearly for them, and Allāh sends astray [thereby] whom He wills1 and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

14:5
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ أَنۡ أَخۡرِجۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ وَذَكِّرۡهُم بِأَيَّىٰمِ ٱللَّهِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّكُلِّ صَبَّارٖ شَكُورٖ ٥
And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring out your people from darknesses into the light and remind them of the days1 of Allāh." Indeed in that are signs for everyone patient and grateful.
