Commentary on 2:31–33
شرح الكلمات:
آدم: نبيّ الله أبو البشر عليه السلام.
الأسماء: أسماء الأجناس كلها كالماء والنبات والحيوان والإنسان.
عرضهم: عرض المسميات أمامهم، ولما كان بينهم العقلاء غلب جانبهم، وإلا لقال عرضها.
أنبئوني: أخبروني.
هؤلاء: المعروضين عليهم من سائر المخلوقات.
سبحانك: تنزيها لك وتقديساً.
غيب السماوات: ما غاب عن الأنظار في السماوات والأرض.
تبدون: تظهرون من قولهم ﴿أتَجْعَلُ فِيها مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيها﴾ [البقرة: ٣٠] الآية.
تكتمون: تبطنون وتخفون يريد ما أضمره إبليس من مخالفة أمر الله تعالى وعدم طاعته.
الحكيم: الحكيم الذي يضع كل شيء في موضعه، ولا يفعل ولا يترك إلا لحكمة.
معنى الآيات:
يخبر تعالى في معرض مظاهر قدرته وعلمه وحكمته الموجبة لعبادته دون سواه أنه علم آدم اسماء الموجودات كلها، ثم عرض الموجودات على الملائكة وقال أنبؤني بأسماء هؤلاء إن كنتم صادقين في دعوى أنكم أكرم المخلوقات وأعلمهم فعجزوا وأَعْلَنُوا اعْتِرافَهُم بذلك وقالوا سبحانك لا علم لنا إلا ما علمتنا ثم قال تعالى لآدم أنبئهم بأسماء تلك المخلوقات المعروضة فأنبأهم بأسمائهم واحداً واحداً حتى القصعة والقُصَيْعة.. وهنا ظهر شرف آدم عليهم، وعَتَبَ عليهم ربهم بقوله: ﴿ألَمْ أقُلْ لَّكُمْ إنِيۤ أعْلَمُ غَيْبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوٰتِ وٱلأَرْضِ وأَعْلَمُ ما تُبْدُونَ وما كُنْتُمْ تَكْتُمُونَ﴾.
هداية الآيات:
من هداية الآيات:
١- بيان قدرة الله تعالى حيث علم آدم أسماء المخلوقات كلها فعلمها.
٢- شرف العلم وفضل العالم على الجاهل.
٣- فضيلة الاعتراف بالعجز والقصور.
٤- جواز العتاب على من ادعى دعوى هو غير متأهل لها.

2:30
وَإِذۡ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٞ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ خَلِيفَةٗۖ قَالُوٓاْ أَتَجۡعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفۡسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسۡفِكُ ٱلدِّمَآءَ وَنَحۡنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمۡدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَۖ قَالَ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٣٠
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority."1 They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we exalt You with praise and declare Your perfection?"2 He [Allāh] said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."
2:31
وَعَلَّمَ ءَادَمَ ٱلۡأَسۡمَآءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمۡ عَلَى ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنۢبِـُٔونِي بِأَسۡمَآءِ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٣١
And He taught Adam the names - all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, "Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful."
2:32
قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ لَا عِلۡمَ لَنَآ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمۡتَنَآۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٣٢
They said, "Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing,1 the Wise."2

2:33
قَالَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ أَنۢبِئۡهُم بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡۖ فَلَمَّآ أَنۢبَأَهُم بِأَسۡمَآئِهِمۡ قَالَ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ غَيۡبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَأَعۡلَمُ مَا تُبۡدُونَ وَمَا كُنتُمۡ تَكۡتُمُونَ ٣٣
He said, "O Adam, inform them of their names." And when he had informed them of their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth? And I know what you reveal and what you have concealed."
2:34
وَإِذۡ قُلۡنَا لِلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسۡجُدُواْ لِأٓدَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِبۡلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٣٤
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate before Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees.1 He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers.
1 translator’s note
- The proper name of Satan, who was not an angel but from the jinn, as stated in 18:50. Done in obedience to Allāh, this prostration was one of respect, not worship. ↩
2:35
وَقُلۡنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسۡكُنۡ أَنتَ وَزَوۡجُكَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنۡهَا رَغَدًا حَيۡثُ شِئۡتُمَا وَلَا تَقۡرَبَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٣٥
And We said, "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat therefrom in [ease and] abundance from wherever you will. But do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
2:36
فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ عَنۡهَا فَأَخۡرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِۖ وَقُلۡنَا ٱهۡبِطُواْ بَعۡضُكُمۡ لِبَعۡضٍ عَدُوّٞۖ وَلَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُسۡتَقَرّٞ وَمَتَٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ ٣٦
But Satan caused them to slip out of it and removed them from that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, "Go down, [all of you], as enemies to one another, and you will have upon the earth a place of settlement and provision for a time."
2:37
فَتَلَقَّىٰٓ ءَادَمُ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ كَلِمَٰتٖ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡهِۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٣٧
Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words,1 and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of Repentance,2 the Merciful.
