Commentary on 28:39–42
قوله عز وجل: وَاسْتَكْبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنُودُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ يعني: استكبر فرعون عن الإيمان هو وقومه بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ يعني: بغير حجة وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُمْ يعني: وحسبوا أنهم إِلَيْنا لاَ يُرْجَعُونَ بعد الموت. قرأ نافع وحمزة والكسائي لاَ يُرْجَعُونَ بنصب الياء، وكسر الجيم على فعل لازم. وقرأ الباقون بضم الياء نصب الجيم، يعني: لا يردون بمعنى التعدي.
يقول الله تعالى: فَأَخَذْناهُ وَجُنُودَهُ يعني: عاقبناه وجنوده فَنَبَذْناهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ يعني:
أغرقناهم في البحر. وقال مقاتل: في النيل فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الظَّالِمِينَ يعني:
المشركين.
قوله عز وجل: وَجَعَلْناهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يعني: خذلناهم حتى صاروا قادة ورؤساء للضلال والجهال يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ يعني: إلى عمل أهل النار. ويقال: إلى الضلالة التي عاقبتها النار وَيَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ لاَ يُنْصَرُونَ يعني: لا يمنعون من عذابي وَأَتْبَعْناهُمْ فِي هذِهِ الدُّنْيا لَعْنَةً عقوبة:
عقوبة وهي الغرق وَيَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ هُمْ مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ أي: من المهلكين. والعرب تقول: قبحه الله أي: أهلكه الله. ويقال: وَأَتْبَعْناهُمْ فِي هذِهِ الدُّنْيا لَعْنَةً وذلك أنهم لما أهلكوا لعنوا، فهم يعرضون على النار غدوة وعشية إلى يوم القيامة، ويوم القيامة هُمْ مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ يعني: من الممقوتين المهلكين. ويقال: مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ، يعني: من المعذبين ويقال: إنه يقبّح صورتهم. ويقال: مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ، يعني: من المشوهين.

28:36
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا بَيِّنَٰتٖ قَالُواْ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّفۡتَرٗى وَمَا سَمِعۡنَا بِهَٰذَا فِيٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٣٦
But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."
28:37
وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ رَبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَن جَآءَ بِٱلۡهُدَىٰ مِنۡ عِندِهِۦ وَمَن تَكُونُ لَهُۥ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلدَّارِۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٣٧
And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home.1 Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."
