Commentary on 26:1
قوله: {طسم} : أظهر حمزةُ نونَ «سين» قبل الميمِ كأنه ناوِي الوقفِ/ وإلاَّ فإدغامُ مثلِه واجبٌ. والباقون يُدغمون. وقد تقدَّم إعرابُ الحروفِ المقطعة. وفي مصحفِ عبد الله ط. س. م. مقطوعةً من بعضها. قيل: وهي قراءةُ أبي جعفر، يَعْنُون أنه يقف على كلِّ حرفٍ وَقْفَةً يميز بها كلَّ حرفٍ، وإلاَّ لم يُتَصَوَّرْ أَنْ يُلْفَظُ بها على صورتِها في هذا الرسمِ. وقرأ عيسى وتروى عن نافع بكسر الميم هنا وفي القصص على البناء. وأمال الطاءَ الأخَوان وأبو بكر. وقد تقدَّم ذلك.

26:2
تِلۡكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ٢
These are the verses of the clear Book.
26:3
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ ٣
Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
26:4
إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ ٤
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.1
1 translator’s note
- i.e., they would be compelled to believe. ↩
26:5
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ ٥
And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
26:6
فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٦
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
26:7
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ ٧
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
26:8
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ ٨
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
26:9
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٩
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
26:10
وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ١٠
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
26:11
قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ ١١
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"
26:12
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ ١٢
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
26:13
وَيَضِيقُ صَدۡرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرۡسِلۡ إِلَىٰ هَٰرُونَ ١٣
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
26:14
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ ١٤
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
26:15
قَالَ كـَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ ١٥
[Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
26:16
فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٦
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers1 of the Lord of the worlds,

26:17
أَنۡ أَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ١٧
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
26:18
قَالَ أَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدٗا وَلَبِثۡتَ فِينَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ ١٨
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
26:19
وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ١٩
And [then] you did your deed which you did,1 and you were of the ungrateful."
