Commentary on 26:23–25
القَوْلُ في تَأْوِيلِ قَوْلِهِ تَعالى:
[٢٣ - ٢٥] ﴿قالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وما رَبُّ العالَمِينَ﴾ (p-٤٦١٠)﴿قالَ رَبُّ السَّماواتِ والأرْضِ وما بَيْنَهُما إنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ﴾ [الشعراء: ٢٤] ﴿قالَ لِمَن حَوْلَهُ ألا تَسْتَمِعُونَ﴾ [الشعراء: ٢٥]
﴿قالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وما رَبُّ العالَمِينَ﴾ ﴿قالَ رَبُّ السَّماواتِ والأرْضِ وما بَيْنَهُما إنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ﴾ [الشعراء: ٢٤] ﴿قالَ لِمَن حَوْلَهُ ألا تَسْتَمِعُونَ﴾ [الشعراء: ٢٥] أيْ: لِهَذا النَّبَأِ العَجِيبِ، وهو تَوْحِيدُ المَعْبُودِ.
وإنَّما عَدَّهُ جَدِيرًا بِأنْ يَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنهُ، لِنَهِمَ، عَلى ما حَقَّقَهُ المُؤَرِّخُونَ، غُلُوًّا في عِبادَةِ الأصْنامِ وتَعْدِيدِ الآلِهَةِ غُلُوًّا أرْبَوْا عَلى كُلِّ مَن سِواهم في الضَّلالِ. فَكانُوا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ والقَمَرِ، والنُّجُومِ، والأشْخاصِ البَشَرِيَّةِ، والحَيَواناتِ، حَتّى الهَوامِّ، وأدْنى حَشَراتِ الأرْضِ.
