The Cow · Juz 1 · Page 5
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُواْ مِنۡهَا مِن ثَمَرَةٖ رِّزۡقٗا قَالُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي رُزِقۡنَا مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَأُتُواْ بِهِۦ مُتَشَٰبِهٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِيهَآ أَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞۖ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٥
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.

Commentary on 2:25
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَبِشِّرِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ أنَّ لَهم جَنّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِها الأنْهارُ﴾
(p-١٩)لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ هُنا أنْواعَ هَذِهِ الأنْهارِ، ولَكِنَّهُ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿فِيها أنْهارٌ مِن ماءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ وأنْهارٌ مِن لَبَنٍ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُ وأنْهارٌ مِن خَمْرٍ لَذَّةٍ لِلشّارِبِينَ وأنْهارٌ مِن عَسَلٍ مُصَفًّى﴾ [محمد: ١٥] .
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَلَهم فِيها أزْواجٌ مُطَهَّرَةٌ﴾
لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ هُنا صِفاتِ تِلْكَ الأزْواجِ، ولَكِنَّهُ بَيَّنَ صِفاتِهِنَّ الجَمِيلَةَ في آياتٍ أُخَرَ
• كَقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَعِنْدَهم قاصِراتُ الطَّرْفِ عِينٌ﴾ [الصافات: ٤٨]،
• وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿كَأنَّهُنَّ الياقُوتُ والمَرْجانُ﴾ [الرحمن: ٥٨]،
• وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَحُورٌ عِينٌ﴾ ﴿كَأمْثالِ اللُّؤْلُؤِ المَكْنُونِ﴾ [الواقعة: ٢٢، ٢٣]،
• وقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَكَواعِبَ أتْرابًا﴾ [النبإ: ٣٣]
إلى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الآياتِ المُبَيِّنَةِ لِجَمِيلِ صِفاتِهِنَّ، والأزْواجُ: جَمْعُ زَوْجٍ بِلا هاءٍ في اللُّغَةِ الفُصْحى، والزَّوْجَةُ بِالهاءِ لُغَةٌ: لا لَحْنَ كَما زَعَمَهُ البَعْضُ.
وَفِي حَدِيثِ أنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: ”إنَّها زَوْجَتِي“ أخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
وَمِن شَواهِدِهِ قَوْلُ الفَرَزْدَقِ: [ الطَّوِيلُ ]
؎وَإنَّ الَّذِي يَسْعى لِيُفْسِدَ زَوْجَتِي كَساعٍ إلى أسَدِ الشَّرى يَسْتَبِيلُها
وَقَوْلُ الآخَرِ: [ الكامِلُ ]
؎فَبَكى بَناتِي شَجْوُهُنَّ وزَوْجَتِي ∗∗∗ والظّاعِنُونَ إلَيَّ ثُمَّ تَصَدَّعُوا

2:25
وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۖ كُلَّمَا رُزِقُواْ مِنۡهَا مِن ثَمَرَةٖ رِّزۡقٗا قَالُواْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي رُزِقۡنَا مِن قَبۡلُۖ وَأُتُواْ بِهِۦ مُتَشَٰبِهٗاۖ وَلَهُمۡ فِيهَآ أَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞۖ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ ٢٥
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally.
2:26
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَسۡتَحۡيِۦٓ أَن يَضۡرِبَ مَثَلٗا مَّا بَعُوضَةٗ فَمَا فَوۡقَهَاۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فَيَعۡلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمۡۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَيَقُولُونَ مَاذَآ أَرَادَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلٗاۘ يُضِلُّ بِهِۦ كَثِيرٗا وَيَهۡدِي بِهِۦ كَثِيرٗاۚ وَمَا يُضِلُّ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ٢٦
Indeed, Allāh is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller1 than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allāh intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,

2:27
ٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهۡدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مِيثَٰقِهِۦ وَيَقۡطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفۡسِدُونَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ ٢٧
Who break the covenant of Allāh after contracting it and sever that which Allāh has ordered to be joined and cause corruption on earth. It is those who are the losers.
2:28
كَيۡفَ تَكۡفُرُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَكُنتُمۡ أَمۡوَٰتٗا فَأَحۡيَٰكُمۡۖ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمۡ ثُمَّ يُحۡيِيكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَيۡهِ تُرۡجَعُونَ ٢٨
How can you disbelieve in Allāh when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.
2:29
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِيعٗا ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ٢٩
It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself1 to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
