Commentary on 68:48
٤٨ - ﴿فَٱصۡبِرۡ﴾ يا محمد ﴿لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ﴾ فيهم بما يشاء، أو: اصبر لما حكم الله به شرعاً وقدراً، فإن الله سيحكم لك، ويجعل العاقبة لك ولأتباعك في الدنيا والآخرة.﴿وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ﴾ في الضجر، والغضب، والعجلة، وعدم الصّبر على قومك، وهو يونس بن متّى عليه السلام.أي: لا يوجد منك يا محمد ما وُجد من يونس عليه السلام، من الضّجر، والغضب، وعدم الصّبر على قومه، فيعاقبك ربك كما عاقبه.﴿إِذۡ نَادَىٰ﴾ أي: دعا ربّه في بطن الحوت ﴿وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومٞ﴾ أي: مغموم، مكروب، أو مملوء غمّا وغيظاً على قومه، أو: إذ نادى ربّه وهو مقفل عليه في بطن الحوت، قائلاً: (لا إله إلا الله أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين)الأنبياء(٨٧).والمعنى: بل اصبر على أذى قومك وتكذيبهم لك، حتى يقضي الله أمراً كان مفعولاً.وكان من أمره عليه السلام أنه ذهب مغاضباً على قومه، فركب البحر وتركهم قبل أن يقضي الله أمره فيهم، فالتقمه الحوت، (فنادى في الظلمات أن لا إله إلا الله أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين)الأنبياء(٨٧)، قال تعالى: (فاستجبنا له ونجيّناه من الغمّ وكذلك ننج المؤمنين)الأنبياء(٨٨).وقد تقدّم بيان قصّة يونس عليه السلام في الأنبياء ويونس والصّافات.

68:43
خَٰشِعَةً أَبۡصَٰرُهُمۡ تَرۡهَقُهُمۡ ذِلَّةٞۖ وَقَدۡ كَانُواْ يُدۡعَوۡنَ إِلَى ٱلسُّجُودِ وَهُمۡ سَٰلِمُونَ ٤٣
Their eyes humbled, humiliation will cover them. And they used to be invited to prostration while they were sound.1

- During worldly life. ↩
68:44
فَذَرۡنِي وَمَن يُكَذِّبُ بِهَٰذَا ٱلۡحَدِيثِۖ سَنَسۡتَدۡرِجُهُم مِّنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٤٤
So leave Me, [O Muḥammad], with [the matter of] whoever denies this statement [i.e., the Qur’ān]. We will progressively lead them [to punishment] from where they do not know.1

- Allāh will increase His favors to them in this world by way of trial, whereby they will sink deeper into sin and thus into destruction. ↩
68:45
وَأُمۡلِي لَهُمۡۚ إِنَّ كَيۡدِي مَتِينٌ ٤٥
And I will give them time. Indeed, My plan is firm.
68:46
أَمۡ تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ أَجۡرٗا فَهُم مِّن مَّغۡرَمٖ مُّثۡقَلُونَ ٤٦
Or do you ask of them a payment, so they are by debt burdened down?
68:47
أَمۡ عِندَهُمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبُ فَهُمۡ يَكۡتُبُونَ ٤٧
Or have they [knowledge of] the unseen, so they write [it] down?
68:48
فَٱصۡبِرۡ لِحُكۡمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ ٱلۡحُوتِ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكۡظُومٞ ٤٨
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muḥammad], and be not like the companion of the fish [i.e., Jonah] when he called out while he was distressed.
68:49
لَّوۡلَآ أَن تَدَٰرَكَهُۥ نِعۡمَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ لَنُبِذَ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ مَذۡمُومٞ ٤٩
If not that a favor [i.e., mercy] from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.1
1 translator’s note
- But instead, Allāh accepted his repentance and provided means for his recovery. See 37:139-148. ↩
68:50
فَٱجۡتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَجَعَلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ٥٠
And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.
68:51
وَإِن يَكَادُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَيُزۡلِقُونَكَ بِأَبۡصَٰرِهِمۡ لَمَّا سَمِعُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُۥ لَمَجۡنُونٞ ٥١
And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes [i.e., looks] when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
68:52
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٥٢
But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
