Al-'Ankabut 29:40
The Spider · Juz 20 · Page 401
فَكُلًّا أَخَذۡنَا بِذَنۢبِهِۦۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ حَاصِبٗا وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَخَذَتۡهُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ خَسَفۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَغۡرَقۡنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٤٠
So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.

Commentary on 29:40
ثم ختم - سبحانه - الحديث عن هؤلاء المكذبين ، ببيان سنة من سننه التى لا تتخلف ، فقال : ( فَكُلاًّ أَخَذْنَا بِذَنبِهِ ) .أى : فكلا من هؤلاء المذكورين كقوم نوح وإبراهيم ولوط وشعيب وهود وصالح ، وكقارون وفرعون وهامان وأمثالهم : كلا من هؤلاء الظالمين أخذناه وأهلكناه بسبب ذنوبه التى اصر عليها دون أن يرجع عنها .( فَمِنْهُم مَّن أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِباً ) أى : فمن هؤلاء الكافرين من أهلكناه ، بأن أرسلنا عليه ريحا شديدة رمته بالحصباء فأهلكته .قال القرطبى : قوله : ( فَمِنْهُم مَّن أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ حَاصِباً ) يعنى قوم لوط . والحاصب ريح يأتى بالحصباء ، وهى الحصى الصغار . وتستعمل فى كل عذاب .( وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ أَخَذَتْهُ الصيحة ) كما حدث لقوم صالح وقوم شعيب - عليهما السلام - .( وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ خَسَفْنَا بِهِ الأرض ) وهو قارون .( وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ أَغْرَقْنَا ) كما فعلنا مع قوم نوح ومع فرعون وقومه .( وَمَا كَانَ الله لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ ) أى : وما كان الله - تعالى - مريدا لظلمهم ، لأنه - سبحانه - اقتضت رمته وحكمته ، أن لا يعذب أحدا بدون ذنب ارتكبه .( ولكن كانوا أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ) أى : ما ظلم الله - تعالى - هؤلاء المهلكين ، ولكنهم هم الذين ظلموا أنفسهم ، وعرضوها للدمار ، بسبب إصرارهم على كفرهم ، واتباعهم للهوى والشيطان .وبذلك نرى الآيات قد قصت على النسا مصارع الغاربين ، الذين كذبوا الرسل ، وحاربوا دعوة الحق ، ليكون فى هذا القصص عبرة للمعتبرين ، وذكرى للمتذكرين .

29:39
وَقَٰرُونَ وَفِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَۖ وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا كَانُواْ سَٰبِقِينَ ٣٩
And [We destroyed] Qārūn and Pharaoh and Hāmān. And Moses had already come to them with clear evidences, and they were arrogant in the land, but they were not outrunners [of Our punishment].
29:40
فَكُلًّا أَخَذۡنَا بِذَنۢبِهِۦۖ فَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ حَاصِبٗا وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَخَذَتۡهُ ٱلصَّيۡحَةُ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ خَسَفۡنَا بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمِنۡهُم مَّنۡ أَغۡرَقۡنَاۚ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظۡلِمَهُمۡ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓاْ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَظۡلِمُونَ ٤٠
So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.
29:41
مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡلِيَآءَ كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِ ٱتَّخَذَتۡ بَيۡتٗاۖ وَإِنَّ أَوۡهَنَ ٱلۡبُيُوتِ لَبَيۡتُ ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤١
The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
29:42
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ مَا يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَيۡءٖۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٤٢
Indeed, Allāh knows whatever thing they call upon1 other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

29:43
وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلُ نَضۡرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِۖ وَمَا يَعۡقِلُهَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡعَٰلِمُونَ ٤٣
And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
29:44
خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِٱلۡحَقِّۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗ لِّلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٤٤
Allāh created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.
29:45
ٱتۡلُ مَآ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ مِنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَأَقِمِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَۖ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ تَنۡهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَٱلۡمُنكَرِۗ وَلَذِكۡرُ ٱللَّهِ أَكۡبَرُۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَصۡنَعُونَ ٤٥
Recite, [O Muḥammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allāh is greater. And Allāh knows that which you do.
