Commentary on 69:20
وقوله: ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ) يقول: إني علمت أني ملاق حسابيه إذا وردت يوم القيامة على ربي.
وبنحو الذي قلنا في تأويل قوله: ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ ) قال أهل التأويل.
* ذكر من قال ذلك:
حدثني عليّ، ثنا أبو صالح، قال: ثني معاوية، عن عليّ، عن ابن عباس، قوله: ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ) يقول: أيقنت.
حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ) : ظنّ ظنا يقينا، فنفعه الله بظنه.
حدثني يونس، قال: أخبرنا ابن وهب، قال، قال ابن زيد، في قوله: ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ) قال: إن الظنّ من المؤمن يقين، وإن " عسى " من الله واجب فَعَسَى أُولَئِكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُفْلِحِينَ .
حدثنا ابن عبد الأعلى، قال؛ ثنا ابن ثور، عن معمر، عن قتادة ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي مُلاقٍ حِسَابِيَهْ ) قال: ما كان من ظنّ الآخرة فهو علم.
حدثنا ابن حميد، قال: ثنا مهران، عن سفيان، عن جابر، عن مجاهد، قال: كلّ ظنّ في القرآن ( إِنِّي ظَنَنْتُ ) يقول: أي علمت.
