Commentary on 21:81
(و) سخرنا (لسليمان الريح) عبر هنا باللام الدالة على التمليك، وفي داوود بـ (مع) وذلك أن الجبال والطير لما اشتركا معه في التسبيح ناسب فيه ذكر (مع) الدالة على الاصطحاب، ولما كانت الريح مستخدمة لسليمان أتى بلام الملك لأنها في طاعته وتحت أمره، والريح هو جسم متحرك لطيف ممتنع بلطفه من القبض عليه يظهر للحس بحركته ويخفي عن البصر بلطفه.
(عاصفة) أي شديدة الهبوب وخفيفته، يقال عصفت الريح أي اشتدت فهي ريح عاصف وعصوف (تجري بأمره) أي إن أراد أن تشتد اشتدت، وإن أراد أن تلين لانت، فهي جامعة للوصفين في وقت واحد، وهذه آية أخرى غير التسخير.
(إلى الأرض التي باركنا فيها) أي تجري منتهية إليها في رواحه من سفره، أي رجوعه منه وهي أرض الشام. عن ابن عباس قال: كان سليمان يوضع له ستمائة ألف كرسي، ثم يجيء أشراف الإنس فيجلسون مما يليه، ثم يجيء أشراف الجن فيجلسون مما يلي أشراف الإنس، ثم يدعو الطير فتظلهم، ثم يدعو الريح فتحملهم تسير مسيرة شهر في الغداة الواحدة.
(وكنا بكل شيء) وتدبيره (عالمين و) سخرنا له

21:73
وَجَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ أَئِمَّةٗ يَهۡدُونَ بِأَمۡرِنَا وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِمۡ فِعۡلَ ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَإِقَامَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَإِيتَآءَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةِۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا عَٰبِدِينَ ٧٣
And We made them leaders guiding by Our command. And We inspired to them the doing of good deeds, establishment of prayer, and giving of zakāh; and they were worshippers of Us.
21:74
وَلُوطًا ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ حُكۡمٗا وَعِلۡمٗا وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَت تَّعۡمَلُ ٱلۡخَبَٰٓئِثَۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمَ سَوۡءٖ فَٰسِقِينَ ٧٤
And to Lot We gave judgement and knowledge, and We saved him from the city that was committing wicked deeds. Indeed, they were a people of evil, defiantly disobedient.

وَأَدۡخَلۡنَٰهُ فِي رَحۡمَتِنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٧٥

21:76
وَنُوحًا إِذۡ نَادَىٰ مِن قَبۡلُ فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ فَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٧٦
And [mention] Noah, when he called [to Allāh]1 before [that time], so We responded to him and saved him and his family from the great affliction [i.e., the flood].
