Commentary on 19:1
مكية ، وهي ثمان وتسعون آية
قوله عز وجل ( كهيعص ) قرأ أبو عمرو بكسر الهاء وفتح الياء ، وضده ابن عامر ، وحمزة ، وبكسرهما : الكسائي وأبو بكر ، والباقون بفتحهما .
ويظهر الدال عند الذال من " صاد ذكر " ابن كثير ، ونافع ، وعاصم [ ويعقوب ] والباقون بالإدغام .
قال ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما : هو اسم من أسماء الله تعالى .
وقال قتادة : هو اسم من أسماء القرآن .
وقيل : اسم للسورة . وقيل : هو قسم أقسم الله به .
ويروى عن سعيد بن جبير عن ابن عباس في قوله ( كهيعص ) قال : الكاف من كريم وكبير ، والهاء من هاد ، والياء من رحيم ، والعين من عليم وعظيم ، والصاد من صادق . وقال الكلبي : معناه : كاف لخلقه ، هاد لعباده ، يده فوق أيديهم ، عالم ببريته ، صادق في وعده
