Commentary on 4:175
قوله تعالى: ﴿فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِهِ﴾ الظاهر أن الكناية في (به) تعود على اسم الله.
وقال ابن جريج: الكناية تعود على النور الذي هو القرآن [[أخرجه الطبري 6/ 39، وانظر: "النكت والعيون" 1/ 547، و"الدر المنثور" 2/ 441.]].
وهذا قريب من الأول في المعنى، لأن الاعتصام بالقرآن اعتصام بالله تعالى.
قال ابن عباس: ﴿وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِهِ﴾ يريد امتنعوا به [[لم أقف عليه.]].
قال أهل المعاني: الاعتصام بالقرآن: الامتناع به من معاصي الله، والاعتصام بالله: الامتناع به من زيغ الشيطان وهوى الإنسان بطاعته وطلب مرضاته [[انظر: "النكت والعيون" 1/ 547.]].
وقوله تعالى: ﴿فَسَيُدْخِلُهُمْ فِي رَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ﴾.
قال ابن عباس: يريد الجنة [[انظر: "زاد المسير" 2/ 264، و"تنوير المقباس" بهامش المصحف ص 105.]]. ﴿وَفَضْلٍ﴾ قال: يريد يتفضل عليهم بما لا عين رأت ولا أذن سمعت ولا ما يوصف [[لم أقف عليه.]].
﴿وَيَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَيْهِ صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا﴾ [النساء: 175]، قال: يريد دينًا مستقيمًا [[انظر: "تنوير المقباس" بهامش المصحف ص 105]].

4:171
يَٰٓأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُواْ فِي دِينِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥٓ أَلۡقَىٰهَآ إِلَىٰ مَرۡيَمَ وَرُوحٞ مِّنۡهُۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُواْ ثَلَٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُواْ خَيۡرٗا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞۖ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥٓ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدٞۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِيلٗا ١٧١
O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion1 or say about Allāh except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allāh and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allāh and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allāh is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allāh as Disposer of affairs.

4:172
لَّن يَسۡتَنكِفَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ أَن يَكُونَ عَبۡدٗا لِّلَّهِ وَلَا ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَۚ وَمَن يَسۡتَنكِفۡ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِهِۦ وَيَسۡتَكۡبِرۡ فَسَيَحۡشُرُهُمۡ إِلَيۡهِ جَمِيعٗا ١٧٢
Never would the Messiah disdain to be a servant of Allāh, nor would the angels near [to Him]. And whoever disdains His worship and is arrogant - He will gather them to Himself all together.
4:173
فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَيُوَفِّيهِمۡ أُجُورَهُمۡ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَنكَفُواْ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ فَيُعَذِّبُهُمۡ عَذَابًا أَلِيمٗا وَلَا يَجِدُونَ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَلِيّٗا وَلَا نَصِيرٗا ١٧٣
And as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards and grant them extra from His bounty. But as for those who disdained and were arrogant, He will punish them with a painful punishment, and they will not find for themselves besides Allāh any protector or helper.
4:174
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُم بُرۡهَٰنٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكُمۡ نُورٗا مُّبِينٗا ١٧٤
O mankind, there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light.1
