Commentary on 28:4
٤ - ﴿إِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ عَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ﴾ أي: تكبّر وتجبّر وتعظّم في أرض مصر، وطغى وبغى وجاوز الحدّ في العدوان، حتى ادّعى الربوبيّة والألوهية.من العلوّ: وهو الارتفاع.﴿وَجَعَلَ أَهۡلَهَا شِيَعٗا﴾ أي: فرقاً وأصنافاً في أنواع الخدمة والتسخير في الأعمال الشاقة والإذلال و الامتهان، يتصرّف فيهم بشهوته فيما يريد من أمور دولته، وينفذ فيهم ما أراد من قهره وسطوته.﴿يَسۡتَضۡعِفُ طَآئِفَةٗ مِّنۡهُمۡ﴾ هم: بنو إسرائيل، وكانوا في ذلك الوقت خيار أهـل زمانهـم، أي: يستعبدهـم﴿يُذَبِّحُ أَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ﴾ المولودين ﴿وَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ﴾ أي: يستبقي بناتهم أحياء للخدمة، إهانة لهم واستعبادا، أو خوفا من أن يكثروا في بلاده، فيصير لهم الملك، أو أن يوجد منهم غلام، يكون سبب هلاكه، وذهاب دولته على يديه.﴿إِنَّهُۥ﴾ أي: فرعون ﴿ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ﴾ في الأرض، بالمعاصي والتجبّر والقتل، وغيرها من فعل أهل الإفساد، الذين لا قصد لهم في صلاح الدنيا والدّين.
