Commentary on 21:48
قوله عز وجل : ( ولقد آتينا موسى وهارون الفرقان ) يعني الكتاب المفرق بين الحق والباطل ، وهو التوراة . وقال ابن زيد : الفرقان النصر على الأعداء ، كما قال الله تعالى : ( وما أنزلنا على عبدنا يوم الفرقان ) ( الأنفال : 41 ) ، يعني يوم بدر ، لأنه قال ( وضياء ) أدخل الواو فيه أي آتينا موسى النصر والضياء وهو التوراة .
ومن قال : المراد بالفرقان التوراة ، قال : الواو في قوله : ( وضياء ) زائدة مقحمة ، معناه : آتيناه التوراة ضياء ، وقيل : هو صفة أخرى للتوراة ، ( وذكرا ) تذكيرا ، ( للمتقين )

21:45
قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أُنذِرُكُم بِٱلۡوَحۡيِۚ وَلَا يَسۡمَعُ ٱلصُّمُّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا مَا يُنذَرُونَ ٤٥
Say, "I only warn you by revelation." But the deaf do not hear the call when they are warned.
21:46
وَلَئِن مَّسَّتۡهُمۡ نَفۡحَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَٰوَيۡلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ ٤٦
And if [as much as] a whiff of the punishment of your Lord should touch them, they would surely say, "O woe to us! Indeed, we have been wrongdoers."
21:47
وَنَضَعُ ٱلۡمَوَٰزِينَ ٱلۡقِسۡطَ لِيَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ فَلَا تُظۡلَمُ نَفۡسٞ شَيۡـٔٗاۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّةٖ مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ أَتَيۡنَا بِهَاۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَٰسِبِينَ ٤٧
And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed,1 We will bring it forth. And sufficient are We as accountant.
