Commentary on 52:1
﴿وَالطُّورِ﴾ ذكرنا تفسير الطور في سورة البقرة [[عند تفسيره لآية (63) من سورة البقرة. ومما قال: الطور قيل: إنه الجبل بالسريانية .. وقيل: إنه اسم جبل بعينه. والطَّوْرُ: التارة، والحدبين الشيئين، والطُّورُ الجبل. وطُورُ سيناءَ: جبلٌ بالشام.]]. قال عامة المفسرين [[انظر: "تفسير مقاتل" 128 أ، "الوسيط" 4/ 13، "معالم التنزيل" 4/ 236، "الجامع لأحكام القرآن" 17/ 58.]]: أقسم الله بالجبل الذي كلّم الله عليه موسى بن عمران عليه السلام وهو بمدين [[مدين على بحر القلزم، وهو المعروف حاليًا بالبحر الأحمر، محاذية لتبوك على نحو من ست مراحل. وهي أكبر من تبوك وبها البئر التي استقى منها موسى عليه السلام لسائمة شعيب. انظر: "معجم البلدان" 5/ 77.]] واسمه زبير. ونحو هذا قال الفراء والزجاج وابن قتيبة [[انظر: "معاني القرآن" للفراء 3/ 91، "معاني القرآن" للزجاج 5/ 61، "تفسير غريب القرآن" ص 424.]].

51:52
كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُواْ سَاحِرٌ أَوۡ مَجۡنُونٌ ٥٢
Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."
51:53
أَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِهِۦۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ قَوۡمٞ طَاغُونَ ٥٣
Did they suggest it to them?1 Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
1 translator’s note
- i.e., Did the former disbelievers pass on these words to the Makkans so that they repeat the same expressions? ↩
51:54
فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٖ ٥٤
So leave them, [O Muḥammad], for you are not to be blamed.
51:55
وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ ٥٥
And remind, for indeed, the reminder benefits the believers.
51:56
وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ ٥٦
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
51:57
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ ٥٧
I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
51:58
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ ٥٨
Indeed, it is Allāh who is the [continual] Provider,1 the firm possessor of strength.
1 translator’s note
- Providing everything required by His creations during their decreed existence. His provision includes guidance. ↩
51:59
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ ذَنُوبٗا مِّثۡلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصۡحَٰبِهِمۡ فَلَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٥٩
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their companions [i.e., predecessors], so let them not impatiently urge Me.
51:60
فَوَيۡلٞ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن يَوۡمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِي يُوعَدُونَ ٦٠
And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
