Commentary on 54:13
وحملناه على ذات ألواح أي على سفينة ذات ألواح .ودسر قال قتادة : يعني المسامير التي دسرت بها السفينة أي شدت ; وقاله القرظي وابن زيد وابن جبير ورواه الوالبي عن ابن عباس . وقال الحسن وشهر بن حوشب وعكرمة : هي صدر السفينة التي تضرب بها الموج سميت بذلك لأنها تدسر الماء أي تدفعه ، والدسر الدفع والمخر ; ورواه العوفي عن ابن عباس قال : الدسر كلكل السفينة . وقال الليث : الدسار خيط من ليف تشد به ألواح السفينة . وفي الصحاح : الدسار واحد الدسر وهي خيوط تشد بها ألواح السفينة ، ويقال : هي المسامير ، وقال تعالى : على ذات ألواح ودسر . ودسر أيضا مثل عسر وعسر . والدسر الدفع ; قال ابن عباس في العنبر : إنما هو شيء يدسره البحر دسرا أي يدفعه . ودسره بالرمح . ورجل مدسر .
