Commentary on 37:158–160
وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ؛ ميان خدا و جنيان خويشاوندي قائل شدند و جنيان مي دانند که احضار شدگان به آتشند. سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ؛ از آن وصف که مي آورند خدا منزه است. إِلَّا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الْمُخْلَصِينَ؛ مگر بندگان مخلص خدا.
(158) مشرکان که برای خدا شریک مقرّر می‌کنند، بین خدا و جنّی‌ها نسبت خویشاوندی مقرّر کردند، و ادعا نمودند که فرشتگان دختران خدا هستند، و مادرانشان سران جن‌ها هستند. در حالی که جن‌ها می‌دانند آنها به پیشگاه خداوند احضار خواهند شد تا آنها را مجازات کند؛ پس جن‌ها بندگانی خوار هستند؛ و اگر با خداوند نسبت خویشاوندی داشتند، چنین نبودند.
(159 - 160) (﴿سُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ﴾) خداوند، فرمانروای بزرگ و کامل و بردبار، پاک است از هر صفتی که کفر و شرک ورزیدن آنان موجب نسبت دادن آن به ذات او می‌شود. (﴿إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ﴾) زیرا بندگان مخلص، خداوند را جز به چیزهایی که شایستۀ شکوه اوست توصیف نکرده، و با این کار مخلص گردیده‌اند.
