Commentary on 25:47
قَوْلُهُ: تَعالى: ﴿وجَعَلَ النَّهارَ نُشُورًا﴾ .
أخْرَجَ ابْنُ أبِي حاتِمٍ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أنَسٍ قالَ: إنَّ النَّهارَ اثْنَتا عَشْرَةَ ساعَةً، فَأوَّلُ السّاعَةِ ما بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الفَجْرِ إلى أنْ تَرى شُعاعَ الشَّمْسِ، ثُمَّ السّاعَةُ الثّانِيَةُ إذا رَأيْتَ شُعاعَ الشَّمْسِ إلى أنْ يُضِيءَ الإشْراقُ، عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِن قُرُونِها شَيْءٌ، وصَفا لَوْنُها، فَإذا كانَتْ بِقَدْرِ ما تُرِيكَ عَيْنُكَ قِيدَ رُمْحَيْنِ فَذَلِكَ أوَّلُ الضُّحى، وذَلِكَ أوَّلُ ساعَةٍ مِن ساعاتِ الضُّحى، ثُمَّ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ الضُّحى ساعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ السّاعَةُ السّادِسَةُ حِينَ نَصَفَ النَّهارُ، فَإذا زالَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَنْ نِصْفِ النَّهارِ فَتِلْكَ ساعَةُ صَلاةِ الظُّهْرِ، وهي الَّتِي قالَ اللَّهُ: ﴿أقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِدُلُوكِ الشَّمْسِ﴾ [الإسراء: ٧٨] [الإسْراءِ: ٧٨] . (p-١٨٧)ثُمَّ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ العَشِيُّ ساعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ السّاعَةُ العاشِرَةُ مِيقاتُ صَلاةِ العَصْرِ وهي الآصالُ، ثُمَّ مِن بَعْدِ ذَلِكَ ساعَتَيْنِ إلى اللَّيْلِ.
وأخْرَجَ الفِرْيابِيُّ، وابْنُ أبِي شَيْبَةَ، وعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وابْنُ جَرِيرٍ، وابْنُ المُنْذِرِ، وابْنُ أبِي حاتِمٍ، عَنْ مُجاهِدٍ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿وجَعَلَ النَّهارَ نُشُورًا﴾ قالَ: يُنْشَرُ فِيهِ.
وأخْرَجَ عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، وابْنُ أبِي حاتِمٍ، عَنْ قَتادَةَ: ﴿وجَعَلَ النَّهارَ نُشُورًا﴾ قالَ: لِمَعايِشِهِمْ وحَوائِجِهِمْ وتَصَرُّفِهِمْ.

25:44
أَمۡ تَحۡسَبُ أَنَّ أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ يَسۡمَعُونَ أَوۡ يَعۡقِلُونَۚ إِنۡ هُمۡ إِلَّا كَٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ بَلۡ هُمۡ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا ٤٤
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock.1 Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.

Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.1

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِبَاسٗا وَٱلنَّوۡمَ سُبَاتٗا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورٗا ٤٧
And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing1 and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.2

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أَرۡسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشۡرَۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡ رَحۡمَتِهِۦۚ وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ طَهُورٗا ٤٨
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy [i.e., rainfall], and We send down from the sky pure water
25:49
لِّنُحۡـِۧيَ بِهِۦ بَلۡدَةٗ مَّيۡتٗا وَنُسۡقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقۡنَآ أَنۡعَٰمٗا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرٗا ٤٩

25:50
وَلَقَدۡ صَرَّفۡنَٰهُ بَيۡنَهُمۡ لِيَذَّكَّرُواْ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورٗا ٥٠

25:52
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ وَجَٰهِدۡهُم بِهِۦ جِهَادٗا كَبِيرٗا ٥٢
So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a great striving.
25:53
۞ وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي مَرَجَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ هَٰذَا عَذۡبٞ فُرَاتٞ وَهَٰذَا مِلۡحٌ أُجَاجٞ وَجَعَلَ بَيۡنَهُمَا بَرۡزَخٗا وَحِجۡرٗا مَّحۡجُورٗا ٥٣
And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas [i.e., bodies of water], one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
25:54
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِ بَشَرٗا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبٗا وَصِهۡرٗاۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرٗا ٥٤
And it is He who has created from water [i.e., semen] a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].
25:55
وَيَعۡبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمۡ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمۡۗ وَكَانَ ٱلۡكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرٗا ٥٥
But they worship rather than Allāh that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the disbeliever is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].
