Commentary on 4:55
﴿فَمِنهم مَن آمَنَ بِهِ ومِنهم مَن صَدَّ عَنْهُ﴾ حِكايَةً لِما صَدَرَ عَنْ أسْلافِهِمْ عَقِيبَ وقَعَ المَحْكِيُّ مِن غَيْرِ أنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ دَخْلٌ في الإلْزامِ الَّذِي سِيقَ لَهُ الكَلامُ، أيْ: فَمِن جِنْسِ (p-191)هَؤُلاءِ الحاسِدِينَ وآبائِهِمْ مَن آمَنَ بِما أُوتِيَ آلُ إبْراهِيمَ ومِنهم مَن أعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، وأمّا جَعْلُ الضَّمِيرَيْنِ لِما ذُكِرَ مِن حَدِيثِ آلِ إبْراهِيمَ فَيَسْتَدْعِي تَراخِيَ الآيَةِ الكَرِيمَةِ عَمّا قَبْلَها نُزُولًَا. كَيْفَ لا؟ وحِكايَةُ إيمانِهِمْ بِالحَدِيثِ المَذْكُورِ وإعْراضِهِمْ عَنْهُ بِصِيغَةِ الماضِي إنَّما يُتَصَوَّرُ بَعْدَ وُقُوعِ الإيمانِ والإعْراضِ المُتَأخِّرَيْنِ عَنْ سَماعِ الحَدِيثِ المُتَأخِّرِ عَنْ نُزُولِهِ وكَذا جَعْلُهُما رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ؛ إذِ الظّاهِرُ بَيانُ حالِهِمْ بَعْدَ هَذا الإلْزامِ وحَمْلُهُ عَلى حِكايَةِ حالِهِمُ السّابِقَةِ تُساعِدُهُ الفاءُ المُرَتِّبَةُ لِما بَعْدَها عَلى ما قَبْلَها ولا يَبْعُدُ كُلَّ البُعْدِ أنْ تَكُونَ الهَمْزَةُ لِتَقْرِيرِ حَسَدِهِمْ وتَوْبِيخِهِمْ بِذَلِكَ. ويَكُونَ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿فَقَدْ آتَيْنا﴾ الآيَةُ تَعْلِيلًَا لَهُ بِدِلالَتِهِ عَلى إعْراضِهِمْ عَمّا أُوتِيَ آلُ إبْراهِيمَ وإنْ لَمْ يُذْكَرْ كَوْنُهُ بِطَرِيقِ الحَسَدِ كَأنَّهُ قِيلَ: بَلْ أيَحْسُدُونَ النّاسَ عَلى ما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ ولا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وذَلِكَ دَيْدَنُهُمُ المُسْتَمِرُّ فَإنّا قَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إبْراهِيمَ ما آتَيْنا فَمِنهم أيْ: مِن جِنْسِهِمْ مَن آمَنَ بِما آتَيْناهم ومِنهم مَن أعْرَضَ عَنْهُ ولَمْ يُؤْمِن بِهِ واللَّهُ سُبْحانَهُ أعْلَمُ وفِيهِ تَسْلِيَةٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ.
﴿وَكَفى بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيرًا﴾ نارًَا مُسَعَّرَةً يُعَذَّبُونَ بِها والجُمْلَةُ تَذْيِيلٌ لِما قَبْلَها.

4:52
أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُۖ وَمَن يَلۡعَنِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُۥ نَصِيرًا ٥٢
Those are the ones whom Allāh has cursed; and he whom Allāh curses - never will you find for him a helper.
4:53
أَمۡ لَهُمۡ نَصِيبٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ فَإِذٗا لَّا يُؤۡتُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ نَقِيرًا ٥٣
Or have they a share of dominion? Then [if that were so], they would not give the people [even as much as] the speck on a date seed.
4:54
أَمۡ يَحۡسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضۡلِهِۦۖ فَقَدۡ ءَاتَيۡنَآ ءَالَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُم مُّلۡكًا عَظِيمٗا ٥٤
Or do they envy people for what Allāh has given them of His bounty? But We had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom1 and conferred upon them a great kingdom.

4:56
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا سَوۡفَ نُصۡلِيهِمۡ نَارٗا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتۡ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلۡنَٰهُمۡ جُلُودًا غَيۡرَهَا لِيَذُوقُواْ ٱلۡعَذَابَۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمٗا ٥٦
Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.
4:57
وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ سَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدٗاۖ لَّهُمۡ فِيهَآ أَزۡوَٰجٞ مُّطَهَّرَةٞۖ وَنُدۡخِلُهُمۡ ظِلّٗا ظَلِيلًا ٥٧
But those who believe and do righteous deeds - We will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide forever. For them therein are purified spouses, and We will admit them to deepening shade.
4:58
۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تُؤَدُّواْ ٱلۡأَمَٰنَٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمۡتُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحۡكُمُواْ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦٓۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرٗا ٥٨
Indeed, Allāh commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allāh instructs you. Indeed, Allāh is ever Hearing and Seeing.
4:59
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡۖ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِي شَيۡءٖ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيۡرٞ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلًا ٥٩
O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allāh and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.
