Commentary on 44:3
فأقسم بالكتاب المبين لكل ما يحتاج إلى بيانه أنه أنزله { فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ } أي: كثيرة الخير والبركة وهي ليلة القدر التي هي خير من ألف شهر، فأنزل أفضل الكلام بأفضل الليالي والأيام على أفضل الأنام، بلغة العرب الكرام لينذر به قوما عمتهم الجهالة وغلبت عليهم الشقاوة فيستضيئوا بنوره ويقتبسوا من هداه ويسيروا وراءه فيحصل لهم الخير الدنيوي والخير الأخروي ولهذا قال: { إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ فِيهَا } أي: في تلك الليل الفاضلة التي نزل فيها القرآن
