Commentary on 44:1–2
(p-١)بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
سُورَةُ الدُّخانِ
مَقْصُودُها الإنْذارُ مِنَ الهَلَكَةِ لِمَن لَمْ يَقْبَلْ ما في الذِّكْرِ الكَرِيمِ الحَكِيمِ مِنَ الخَيْرِ والبَرَكَةِ رَحْمَةً جَعَلَها بَيْنَ عامَّةِ خَلْقِهِ مُشْتَرَكَةً، وعَلى ذَلِكَ دَلَّ اسْمُها الدُّخانُ إذا تُؤُمِّلَتْ آياتُهُ وإفْصاحُ ما فِيها وإشاراتُهُ ”بِسْمِ اللَّهِ“ المَلِكِ الجَبّارِ الواحِدِ القَهّارِ ”الرَّحْمَنِ“ الَّذِي عَمَّ بِنِعْمَةِ النِّذارَةِ ”الرَّحِيمِ“ الَّذِي [خَصَّ] أهْلَ وِدادِهِ بِرَحْمَةِ البِشارَةِ.
﴿حم﴾ تَقَدَّمَتِ الإشارَةُ إلى شَيْءٍ مِن أسْرارِ أخَواتِها.
ولَمّا خُتِمَتِ الزُّخْرُفُ بِبِشارَةٍ باطِنَةٍ ونِذارَةٍ ظاهِرَةٍ، وكانَ ما بَشَّرَ بِهِ سُبْحانَهُ مِن عِلْمِ العَرَبِ وسَلامَتِهِمْ مِن غَوائِلِ ما كانُوا فِيهِ مُسْتَبْعَدًا، افْتَتَحَ هَذا بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ مُقْسِمًا عَلَيْهِ فَقالَ: ﴿والكِتابِ﴾ [أيِ] الجامِعِ (p-٢)لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ ﴿المُبِينِ﴾ أيِ: البَيِّنِ في نَفْسِهِ، المُوَضِّحِ لِما تَقَدَّمَ مِن دَقِيقِ البِشارَةِ لِأهْلِ الصَّفاءِ والبِصارَةِ، واضِحُ النِّذارَةِ بِصَرِيحِ العِبارَةِ، وغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِن كُلِّ ما يُرادُ مِنهُ، ولِأجَلِ ما ذُكِرَ مِنَ الِاسْتِبْعادِ أكَّدَ جَوابَ القَسَمِ وأتى بِهِ في مَظْهَرِ العَظَمَةِ فَقالَ:

Therein [i.e., on that night] is made distinct1 every precise matter -

أَمۡرٗا مِّنۡ عِندِنَآۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرۡسِلِينَ ٥
[Every] matter [proceeding] from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger]
44:6
رَحۡمَةٗ مِّن رَّبِّكَۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٦
As mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing,

رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَآۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ ٧
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them, if you would be certain.
44:8
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡيِۦ وَيُمِيتُۖ رَبُّكُمۡ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death. [He is] your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.

بَلۡ هُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ يَلۡعَبُونَ ٩
But they are in doubt, amusing themselves.

يَغۡشَى ٱلنَّاسَۖ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ ١١
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكۡشِفۡ عَنَّا ٱلۡعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٢
[They will say], "Our Lord, remove from us the torment; indeed, we are believers."
44:13
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ وَقَدۡ جَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ مُّبِينٞ ١٣
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
44:14
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوۡاْ عَنۡهُ وَقَالُواْ مُعَلَّمٞ مَّجۡنُونٌ ١٤
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."

The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed, We will take retribution.

۞ وَلَقَدۡ فَتَنَّا قَبۡلَهُمۡ قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَجَآءَهُمۡ رَسُولٞ كَرِيمٌ ١٧
