Commentary on 54:19
( إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً صَرْصَراً . . . ) أى : إنا أرسلنا عليهم ريحا شديدة البرودة والقوة ، ذات صوت هائل .( فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُّسْتَمِرٍّ ) أى : فى يوم مشئوم عليهم ، وشؤمه دائم ومستمر لم ينقطع عنهم حتى دمرهم .قال ابن كثير : قوله : ( مُّسْتَمِرٍّ ) أى : مستمر عليهم نحسه ودماره ، لأنه يوم اتصل فيهم عذابهم الدنيوى بالأخروى .وشبيه بهذه الآية قوله - تعالى - : ( فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً صَرْصَراً في أَيَّامٍ نَّحِسَاتٍ لِّنُذِيقَهُمْ عَذَابَ الخزي فِي الحياة الدنيا وَلَعَذَابُ الآخرة أخزى وَهُمْ لاَ يُنصَرُونَ ) وإضافة " يوم " إلى " نحس " من إضافة الزمان إلى ما يقع فيه ، كقولهم : يوم فتح خيبر .والمراد أنه يوم منحوس ومشئوم بالنسبة لهؤلاء المهلكين ، وليس المراد أنه يوم منحوس بذاته ، لأنه الأيام يداولها الله - تعالى - بين النسا ، بمقتضى إرادته وحكمته .
