Commentary on 26:149
قوله: {وَتَنْحِتُونَ} العامَّةُ على الخطابِ وكسرِ الحاءِ. والحسنُ وعيسى وأبو حيوة بفتحها، وعن الحسن أيضاً «تَنْحاتون» بألفٍ للإِشباعِ، وعنه وعن أبي حيوة «يَنْحِتُون» بالياء مِنْ تحتُ. وقد تَقَدَّم ذلك كلُّه في الأعراف.
قوله: {فَارِهِينَ} قرأ الكوفيون وابنُ عامر «فارِهيْنَ» بالألف كما قرؤوا «حاذِرون» بها والباقونَ «فَرِهين» بدون ألف، كما قرؤوا «حَذِرُون» بدونِها. والفَراهَةُ: النشاطُ والقوةُ. وقيل: الحِذْقُ. يقال: دابَّة فارِهٌ، ولا يقال: فارِهَة، وقد فَرُه يَفْرُه فَراهة.
