Commentary on 2:57–58
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى ﴿وظَلَّلْنا عَلَيْكُمُ الغَمامَ وأنْزَلْنا عَلَيْكُمُ المَنَّ والسَّلْوى كُلُوا مِن طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقْناكم وما ظَلَمُونا ولَكِنْ كانُوا أنْفُسَهم يَظْلِمُونَ﴾
اعْلَمْ أنَّ هَذا هو الإنْعامُ السّابِعُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ تَعالى وقَدْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ تَعالى هَذِهِ الآيَةَ بِهَذِهِ الألْفاظِ في سُورَةِ الأعْرافِ، وظاهِرُ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ يَدُلُّ عَلى أنَّ هَذا الإظْلالَ كانَ بَعْدَ أنْ بَعَثَهم لِأنَّهُ تَعالى قالَ: ﴿ثُمَّ بَعَثْناكم مِن بَعْدِ مَوْتِكم لَعَلَّكم تَشْكُرُونَ وظَلَّلْنا عَلَيْكُمُ الغَمامَ﴾ بَعْضُهُ مَعْطُوفٌ عَلى بَعْضٍ وإنْ كانَ لا يَمْتَنِعُ خِلافُ ذَلِكَ؛ لِأنَّ الغَرَضَ تَعْرِيفُ النِّعَمِ الَّتِي خَصَّهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعالى بِها.

قالَ المُفَسِّرُونَ، ﴿وظَلَّلْنا﴾ وجَعَلْنا الغَمامَ تُظِلُّكم، وذَلِكَ في التِّيهِ سَخَّرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمُ السَّحابَ يَسِيرُ بِسَيْرِهِمْ يُظِلُّهم مِنَ الشَّمْسِ ويُنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمُ المَنَّ وهو التَّرَنْجَبِينُ مِثْلُ الثَّلْجِ مِن طُلُوعِ الفَجْرِ إلى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ لِكُلِّ إنْسانٍ صاعٌ ويَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ إلَيْهِمُ السَّلْوى وهي السُّمانِيُّ فَيَذْبَحُ الرَّجُلُ مِنها ما يَكْفِيهِ ﴿كُلُوا﴾ عَلى إرادَةِ القَوْلِ: ﴿وما ظَلَمُونا﴾ يَعْنِي فَظَلَمُوا بِأنْ كَفَرُوا هَذِهِ النِّعَمَ أوْ بِأنْ أخَذُوا أزْيَدَ مِمّا أطْلَقَ لَهم في أخْذِهِ أوْ بِأنْ سَألُوا غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ الجِنْسِ وما ظَلَمُونا فاخْتَصَرَ الكَلامَ بِحَذْفِهِ لِدَلالَةِ ﴿وما ظَلَمُونا﴾ عَلَيْهِ.

2:49
وَإِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰكُم مِّنۡ ءَالِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ يَسُومُونَكُمۡ سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبۡنَآءَكُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمۡۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَظِيمٞ ٤٩
And [recall] when We saved you [i.e., your forefathers] from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with the worst torment, slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
2:50
وَإِذۡ فَرَقۡنَا بِكُمُ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ فَأَنجَيۡنَٰكُمۡ وَأَغۡرَقۡنَآ ءَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ ٥٠
And [recall] when We parted the sea for you and saved you and drowned the people of Pharaoh while you were looking on.
2:51
وَإِذۡ وَٰعَدۡنَا مُوسَىٰٓ أَرۡبَعِينَ لَيۡلَةٗ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذۡتُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمۡ ظَٰلِمُونَ ٥١
And [recall] when We made an appointment with Moses for forty nights. Then you took [for worship] the calf after him [i.e., his departure], while you were wrongdoers.
2:52
ثُمَّ عَفَوۡنَا عَنكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ ذَٰلِكَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٥٢
Then We forgave you after that so perhaps you would be grateful.
2:53
وَإِذۡ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ٥٣
And [recall] when We gave Moses the Scripture and criterion1 that perhaps you would be guided.

2:54
وَإِذۡ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوۡمِهِۦ يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّكُمۡ ظَلَمۡتُمۡ أَنفُسَكُم بِٱتِّخَاذِكُمُ ٱلۡعِجۡلَ فَتُوبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَنفُسَكُمۡ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ عِندَ بَارِئِكُمۡ فَتَابَ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلتَّوَّابُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٥٤
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.
2:55
وَإِذۡ قُلۡتُمۡ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نُّؤۡمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّىٰ نَرَى ٱللَّهَ جَهۡرَةٗ فَأَخَذَتۡكُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَأَنتُمۡ تَنظُرُونَ ٥٥
And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we will never believe you until we see Allāh outright"; so the thunderbolt took you while you were looking on.
2:56
ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنَٰكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَوۡتِكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ ٥٦
Then We revived you after your death that perhaps you would be grateful.
2:57
وَظَلَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلۡوَىٰۖ كُلُواْ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقۡنَٰكُمۡۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٥٧
And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not - but they were [only] wronging themselves.
