Commentary on 43:80
وقوله - سبحانه - : ( أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لاَ نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُم ) توبيخ آخر لهم على جهلهم وانطماس بصائرهم .والمراد بالسر هنا : حديثهم مع أنفسهم ، والمراد بنجواهم : ما تكلم به بعضهم مع بعض دون أن يطلعوا عليه أحدا غيرهم .أى : بل أيظن هؤلاء الجاهلون أننا لا نعلم ما يتحدثون به مع أنفسهم ، وما يتحدثون به مع غيرهم فى خفية واستتار .وقوله - سبحانه - : ( بلى وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ ) أى : إذا كانوا يظنون ذلك فقد خابوا وخسروا ، فإننا نعلم سرهم ونجواهم . ورسلنا الذين يحفظون عليهم أعمالهم ، ملازمون لهم ، ويسجلون عليهم كل صغيرة وكبيرة .
