Commentary on 56:9
(وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: وأصحاب الشمال الذين يؤخذ بهم ذات الشمال إلى النار، والعرب تسمي اليد اليسرى: الشؤمي؛ ومنه قول أعشى بني ثعلبة:
فـأنْحَى عـلى شُّـؤْمَي يَدَيـه فَذادَهـا
بأظْمــأَ مِـنْ فَـرْع الذُّوَابَـةِ أسْـحَما (3)
------------------------
الهوامش:
(3) البيت لأعشى بني قيس بن ثعلبة ( ديوانه طبع القاهرة 295 ) من قصيدة يمدح بها إياس بن قبيصة الطائي. ورويت في مدح قيس ابن معد يكرب. وأنحى : اعتمد، يقال: أنحى البعير: اعتمد في سيره على أيسره. واليد الشؤمى: اليسرى . وأظمأ: أسمر ذابل.
والفرع: الشعر. والذؤابة: شعر الناصية. وأسحم: أسود. يصف ثورا اجتمعت عليه كلاب الصيد، فذادها عنه بقرنه الذابل المحدد، وهو أشد سوادا من خصلة الشعر. والشاهد في قوله شؤمى يديه أي يسراهما. وقال أبو عبيدة في مجاز القرآن عند قوله تعالى ( وأصحاب المشأمة ما أصحاب المشأمة ) : أصحاب الميسرة، ويقال لليد اليسرى: الشؤمى؛ ويقال هو الجانب الأيسر. وسميت اليمن لأنها عن يمين الكعبة، والشأم أنها عن شمال الكعبة . ا هـ .
