Commentary on 26:64
قال الله تعالى: (﴿وَأَزْلَفْنَا﴾ قَرَّبْنَا، ﴿ثَمَّ﴾ هناك، ﴿الْآخِرِينَ﴾ فرعونَ وقومَه حتى سلكوا مسالكهم).
(الإزلاف) بمعنى الإقراب، ومنه قوله تعالى: ﴿وَأُزْلِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ﴾ [الشعراء ٩٠]؛ أي: قُرِّبت. وقوله: ﴿ثَمَّ﴾؛ أي: هناك؛ أي: عند البحر.
وقوله: ﴿الْآخِرِينَ﴾ يعني فرعون وقومه، قرَّبهم الله تعالى إلى البحر، فرأوا هذه الطرق مفتوحة أمامهم، فما كان منهم إلا أن دخلوها؛ لأنها طرق أمامهم رأوا موسى وقومه قد عبروا منها فاتبعوهم، فلما (...) لهؤلاء داخلين وهولاء خارجين.
