Commentary on 37:81
وإن عبدنا نوحا قد كان من عبادنا الذين بلغو درجة الكمال فى إيمانهم وإحسانهم .قال صاحب الكشاف : قوله : ( وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الآخرين ) أى من الأمم هذه الكلمة ، وهى : " سلام على نوح " يعنى : يسلمون عليه تسليما ويدعون له . فإن قلت : فما معنى قوله : ( فِي العالمين ) .قلت : معناه الدعاء بثبوت هذه التحية فيهم جميعا ، وأن لا يخلو أحد منهم منها ، كأنه قيل : ثبت الله التسليم على نوح وأدامه فى الملائكة والثقلين ، يسلمون عليه عن آخرهم .علل - سبحانه - مجازاة نوح بتلك التكرمة السنية ، من تبقية ذكره ، وتسليم العالمين عليه إلى آخر الدهر ، بأنه كان محسناً ، ثم علل كونه محسناً ، بأنه كان عبداً مؤمناً ، ليريك جلالة محل الإِيمان ، وأنه لقصارى من صفات المدح والتعظيم ، ويرغبك فى تحصيله وفى الازدياد منه .
