Commentary on 29:24
﴿فَما كانَ جَوابَ قَوْمِهِ﴾ بِالنَّصْبِ عَلى أنَّهُ خَبَرُ كانَ واسْمُها قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿إلا أنْ قالُوا اقْتُلُوهُ أوْ حَرِّقُوهُ﴾ وقُرِئَ: بِالرَّفْعِ عَلى العَكْسِ. وقَدْ مَرَّ ما فِيهِ في نَظائِرِهِ ولَيْسَ المُرادُ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَصْدُرْ عَنْهم بِصَدَدِ الجَوابِ عَنْ حُجَجِ إبْراهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إلّا هَذِهِ المَقالَةُ الشَّنِيعَةُ كَما هو المُتَبادَرُ مِن ظاهِرِ النَّظْمِ الكَرِيمِ، بَلْ إنَّ ذَلِكَ هو الَّذِي اسْتَقَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَوابُهم بَعْدَ اللَّتِيا والَّتِي في المَرَّةِ الأخِيرَةِ، وإلّا فَقَدْ صَدَرَ عَنْهم مِنَ الخُرافاتِ والأباطِيلِ ما لا يُحْصى ﴿فَأنْجاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النّارِ﴾ الفاءُ فَصِيحَةٌ، أيْ: فَألْقَوْهُ في النّارِ فَأنْجاهُ اللَّهُ تَعالى مِنها بِأنْ جَعَلَها عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ بَرْدًا وسَلامًا حَسْبَما بُيِّنَ في مَواضِعَ أُخَرَ، وقَدْ مَرَّ في سُورَةِ الأنْبِياءِ بَيانُ كَيْفِيَّةِ إلْقائِهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ فِيها، وإنْجائِهِ تَعالى إيّاهُ تَفْصِيلًا، قِيلَ: لَمْ يَنْتَفِعْ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِالنّارِ في مَوْضِعٍ أصْلًا.
﴿إنَّ في ذَلِكَ﴾ أيْ: في إنْجائِهِ مِنها.
﴿لآياتٍ﴾ بَيِّنَةً عَجِيبَةً هي حِفْظُهُ تَعالى إيّاهُ مِن حَرِّها، وإخْمادُها في زَمانٍ يَسِيرٍ، وإنْشاءُ رَوْضٍ في مَكانِها.
﴿لِقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ﴾ وأمّا مَن عَداهم فَهم عَنِ اجْتِلائِها غافِلُونَ، ومِنَ الفَوْزِ بِمَغانِمِ آثارِها مَحْرُومُونَ.

فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوهُ أَوۡ حَرِّقُوهُ فَأَنجَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٢٤
And the answer of his [i.e., Abraham's] people was not but that they said, "Kill him or burn him," but Allāh saved him from the fire. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
29:25
وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا ٱتَّخَذۡتُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡثَٰنٗا مَّوَدَّةَ بَيۡنِكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يَكۡفُرُ بَعۡضُكُم بِبَعۡضٖ وَيَلۡعَنُ بَعۡضُكُم بَعۡضٗا وَمَأۡوَىٰكُمُ ٱلنَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ ٢٥
And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allāh, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers."
29:26
۞ فَـَٔامَنَ لَهُۥ لُوطٞۘ وَقَالَ إِنِّي مُهَاجِرٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٢٦
And Lot believed him. [Abraham] said, "Indeed, I will emigrate to [the service of] my Lord. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."
29:27
وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥٓ إِسۡحَٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوبَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ ٱلنُّبُوَّةَ وَٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ أَجۡرَهُۥ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٢٧
And We gave to him Isaac and Jacob and placed in his descendants prophethood and scripture. And We gave him his reward in this world, and indeed, he is in the Hereafter among the righteous.
29:28
وَلُوطًا إِذۡ قَالَ لِقَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلۡفَٰحِشَةَ مَا سَبَقَكُم بِهَا مِنۡ أَحَدٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢٨
And [mention] Lot, when he said to his people, "Indeed, you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds.
29:29
أَئِنَّكُمۡ لَتَأۡتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ وَتَقۡطَعُونَ ٱلسَّبِيلَ وَتَأۡتُونَ فِي نَادِيكُمُ ٱلۡمُنكَرَۖ فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ ٱئۡتِنَا بِعَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٢٩
Indeed, you approach men and obstruct the road1 and commit in your meetings [every] evil." And the answer of his people was not but that they said, "Bring us the punishment of Allāh, if you should be of the truthful."
