Commentary on 42:29
﴿وَمن آياته خَلْقُ السَّماواتِ والأرْضِ﴾ عَلى ما هُما مِن تَعاجِيبِ الصَّنائِعِ فَإنَّها بِذاتِها وصِفاتِها تَدُلُّ عَلى شُئُونِهِ العَظِيمَةِ.
﴿وَما بَثَّ فِيهِما﴾ عَطْفٌ عَلى السَّمَواتِ أوِ الخَلْقِ.
﴿مِن دابَّةٍ﴾ مِن حَيٍّ، عَلى إطْلاقِ اسْمِ المُسَبَّبِ عَلى السَّبَبِ أوْ مِمّا يَدِبُّ عَلى الأرْضِ فَإنَّ ما يَخْتَصُّ بِأحَدِ الشَّيْئَيْنِ المُتَجاوِرَيْنِ يَصِحُّ نِسْبَتُهُ إلَيْهِما كَما في قَوْلِهِ تَعالى: ﴿يَخْرُجُ مِنهُما اللُّؤْلُؤُ والمَرْجانُ﴾ وإنَّما يَخْرُجُ مِنَ المِلْحِ، وقَدْ جُوِّزَ أنْ يَكُونَ لِلْمَلائِكَةِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ مَشْيٌ مَعَ الطَّيَرانِ فَيُوصَفُوا بِالدَّبِيبِ وأنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ في السَّماءِ حَيَوانًا يَمْشُونَ فِيها مَشْيَ الأناسِيِّ عَلى الأرْضِ كَما يُنْبِئُ عَنْهُ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَيَخْلُقُ ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ﴾ . وقَدْ رُوِيَ أنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قالَ: « "فَوْقَ السَّماءِ السّابِعَةِ بَحْرٌ بَيْنَ أسْفَلِهِ وأعْلاهُ كَما بَيْنَ السَّماءِ والأرْضِ ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ ثَمانِيَةُ أوْعالٍ بَيْنَ رُكَبِهِنَّ وأظْلافِهِنَّ كَما بَيْنَ السَّماءِ والأرْضِ ثُمَّ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ العَرْشُ العَظِيمُ.» ﴿وَهُوَ عَلى جَمْعِهِمْ﴾ أيْ: حَشْرِهِمْ بَعْدَ البَعْثِ لِلْمُحاسَبَةِ. وقَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿إذا يَشاءُ﴾ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِما قَبْلَهُ لا بِقَوْلِهِ تَعالى: (p-33)﴿قَدِيرٌ﴾ فَإنَّ المُقَيَّدَ بِالمَشِيئَةِ جَمْعُهُ تَعالى لا قدرته وإذا عِنْدَ كَوْنِها بِمَعْنى الوَقْتِ كَما تَدْخُلُ الماضِيَ تَدْخُلُ المُضارِعَ.

42:23
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ ٱللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِۗ قُل لَّآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَجۡرًا إِلَّا ٱلۡمَوَدَّةَ فِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰۗ وَمَن يَقۡتَرِفۡ حَسَنَةٗ نَّزِدۡ لَهُۥ فِيهَا حُسۡنًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ شَكُورٌ ٢٣
It is that of which Allāh gives good tidings to His servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say, [O Muḥammad], "I do not ask you for it [i.e., this message] any payment [but] only good will through [i.e., due to] kinship." And whoever commits a good deed - We will increase for him good therein. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Appreciative.1

42:24
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗاۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يَخۡتِمۡ عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَۗ وَيَمۡحُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡبَٰطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ ٱلۡحَقَّ بِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمُۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ ٢٤
Or do they say, "He has invented about Allāh a lie"? But if Allāh willed, He could seal over your heart.1 And Allāh eliminates falsehood and establishes the truth by His words. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

42:25
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يَقۡبَلُ ٱلتَّوۡبَةَ عَنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَنِ ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا تَفۡعَلُونَ ٢٥
And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons misdeeds, and He knows what you do.
42:26
وَيَسۡتَجِيبُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَيَزِيدُهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦۚ وَٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٞ شَدِيدٞ ٢٦
And He answers [the supplication of] those who have believed and done righteous deeds and increases [for] them from His bounty. But the disbelievers will have a severe punishment.
42:27
۞ وَلَوۡ بَسَطَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّزۡقَ لِعِبَادِهِۦ لَبَغَوۡاْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَٰكِن يُنَزِّلُ بِقَدَرٖ مَّا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِعِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرُۢ بَصِيرٞ ٢٧
And if Allāh had extended [excessively] provision for His servants, they would have committed tyranny throughout the earth. But He sends [it] down in an amount which He wills. Indeed He is, of His servants, Aware and Seeing.
42:28
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُنَزِّلُ ٱلۡغَيۡثَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا قَنَطُواْ وَيَنشُرُ رَحۡمَتَهُۥۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡوَلِيُّ ٱلۡحَمِيدُ ٢٨
And it is He who sends down the rain after they had despaired and spreads His mercy. And He is the Protector, the Praiseworthy.
42:29
وَمِنۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ خَلۡقُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَآبَّةٖۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمۡعِهِمۡ إِذَا يَشَآءُ قَدِيرٞ ٢٩
And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and what He has dispersed throughout them of creatures. And He, for gathering them when He wills, is competent.
42:30
وَمَآ أَصَٰبَكُم مِّن مُّصِيبَةٖ فَبِمَا كَسَبَتۡ أَيۡدِيكُمۡ وَيَعۡفُواْ عَن كَثِيرٖ ٣٠
And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.
42:31
وَمَآ أَنتُم بِمُعۡجِزِينَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا نَصِيرٖ ٣١
And you will not cause failure [to Allāh]1 upon the earth. And you have not besides Allāh any protector or helper.
