Commentary on 23:17
قوله تعالى : ولقد خلقنا فوقكم سبع طرائق وما كنا عن الخلق غافلينقوله تعالى : ولقد خلقنا فوقكم سبع طرائق قال أبو عبيدة : أي سبع سماوات . وحكى عنه أنه يقال : طارقت الشيء ، أي جعلت بعضه فوق بعض ؛ فقيل للسماوات طرائق لأن بعضها فوق بعض . والعرب تسمي كل شيء فوق شيء طريقة . وقيل : لأنها طرائق الملائكة . وما كنا عن الخلق غافلين قال بعض العلماء : عن خلق السماء . وقال أكثر المفسرين : أي عن الخلق كلهم من أن تسقط عليهم فتهلكهم .قلت : ويحتمل أن يكون المعنى وما كنا عن الخلق غافلين أي في القيام بمصالحه وحفظه ؛ وهو معنى ( الحي القيوم ) ؛ على ما تقدم .

ٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ فِي صَلَاتِهِمۡ خَٰشِعُونَ ٢
They who are during their prayer humbly intent
23:3
وَٱلَّذِينَ هُمۡ عَنِ ٱللَّغۡوِ مُعۡرِضُونَ ٣
And they who turn away from ill speech

إِلَّا عَلَىٰٓ أَزۡوَٰجِهِمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُهُمۡ فَإِنَّهُمۡ غَيۡرُ مَلُومِينَ ٦
Except from their wives or those their right hands possess,1 for indeed, they will not be blamed -

But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors -

Those are the inheritors

23:13
ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُطۡفَةٗ فِي قَرَارٖ مَّكِينٖ ١٣
Then We placed him as a sperm-drop1 in a firm lodging [i.e., the womb].

ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا ٱلنُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةٗ فَخَلَقۡنَا ٱلۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظَٰمٗا فَكَسَوۡنَا ٱلۡعِظَٰمَ لَحۡمٗا ثُمَّ أَنشَأۡنَٰهُ خَلۡقًا ءَاخَرَۚ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ أَحۡسَنُ ٱلۡخَٰلِقِينَ ١٤
Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allāh, the best of creators.1
