Commentary on 54:6
٦ - ﴿فَتَوَلَّ عَنۡهُمۡۘ﴾ يا محمد، أي: أعرض عنهم، إذ لم يؤثر فيهم الإنذار.﴿يَوۡمَ يَدۡعُ ٱلدَّاعِ﴾ هو إسرافيل عليه السلام والجملة ظرف ل (يخرجون).وحُذفت الواو من «يدع» لفظاً لالتقاء الساكنين، ورسماً، تبعاً للفظ.وحذفت الياء من «الداع» تخفيفاً، [وفي قراءة بإثباتها وصلا و وقفا في الموضعين: (يوم يدع الداعي)] ﴿إِلَىٰ شَيۡءٖ نُّكُرٍ﴾ – بضم الكاف وسكونها، قراءتان – أي: إلى أمر فظيع عظيم منكر، تنكره النفوس وتكرهه، لعدم العهد بمثله، وهو هول يوم القيامة، أو: لشدّته، وهو الحساب، وذلك حين ينفخ إسرافيل في الصّور نفخة البعث والنشور.والنكر – بضم الكاف وسكونها -: المنكر - كالنكراء – والأمر الشديد الذي يُنكر استعظاماً له.
