Commentary on 20:4
القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : تَنْزِيلا مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ الأَرْضَ وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلا (4)
يقول تعالى ذكره لنبيه محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم: هذا القرآن تنـزيل من الربّ الذي خلق الأرض والسموات العلى ، والعُلَى: جمع عليا.
واختلف أهل العربية في وجه نصب قوله (تَنـزيلا) فقال بعض نحويي البصرة: نصب ذلك بمعنى: نـزل الله تنـزيلا وقال بعض من أنكر ذلك من قيله هذا من كلامين، ولكن المعنى: هو تنـزيل، ثم أسقط هو، واتصل بالكلام الذي قبله، فخرج منه، ولم يكن من لفظه.
قال أبو جعفر: والقولان جميعا عندي غير خطأ.

19:96
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَيَجۡعَلُ لَهُمُ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنُ وُدّٗا ٩٦
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - the Most Merciful will appoint for them affection.1

19:97
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرۡنَٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لِتُبَشِّرَ بِهِ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ وَتُنذِرَ بِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا لُّدّٗا ٩٧
So, [O Muḥammad], We have only made it [i.e., the Qur’ān] easy in your tongue [i.e., the Arabic language] that you may give good tidings thereby to the righteous and warn thereby a hostile people.
19:98
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا قَبۡلَهُم مِّن قَرۡنٍ هَلۡ تُحِسُّ مِنۡهُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ أَوۡ تَسۡمَعُ لَهُمۡ رِكۡزَۢا ٩٨
And how many have We destroyed before them of generations? Do you perceive of them anyone or hear from them a sound?

To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is on the earth and what is between them and what is under the soil.

When he saw a fire and said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance."
