﴿وَفَصِیلَتِهِ ٱلَّتِی تُـٔۡوِیهِ ١٣ وَمَن فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ جَمِیعࣰا ثُمَّ یُنجِیهِ ١٤﴾ - تفسير
٧٨٧٥٥- عن مجاهد بن جبر -من طريق ابن أبي نجيح- في قوله: ﴿وفَصِيلَتِهِ﴾، قال: قبيلته[[أخرجه ابن جرير ٢٣/٢٦٠. وعزاه السيوطي إلى عبد بن حميد، وابن المنذر.]]. (١٤/٦٩٤)
٧٨٧٥٦- عن الضَّحّاك بن مُزاحِم، ﴿وفَصِيلَتِهِ﴾، قال: عشيرته[[عزاه السيوطي إلى ابن المنذر.]]. (١٤/٦٩٤)
٧٨٧٥٧- عن محمد بن كعب القُرَظيّ، ﴿وفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ﴾، قال: قبيلته التي يَنتسب إليها[[عزاه السيوطي إلى ابن المنذر.]]. (١٤/٦٩٤)
٧٨٧٥٨- قال مقاتل بن سليمان: ﴿وفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ﴾ يعني: رهطه وفَخذه الأدنى الذي يساوى إليهم، ﴿ومَن فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا﴾ مِن شيء، ﴿ثُمَّ يُنْجِيهِ﴾[[تفسير مقاتل بن سليمان ٤/٤٣٧.]]. (ز)
٧٨٧٥٩- قال عبد الرحمن بن زيد بن أسلم -من طريق ابن وهب- في قوله: ﴿وفَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ﴾، قال: فصيلته: عشيرته[[أخرجه ابن جرير ٢٣/٢٦٠.]]٦٧٩٧. (ز)
٦٧٩٧ ذكر ابنُ عطية (٨/٤٠٥) أنّ الفصيلة -في هذه الآية-: قرابة الرجل الأدنون. مثال ذلك: بنو هاشم مع النبي ﷺ. وأنها أيضًا في كلام العرب: الزوجة. ثم قال: «ولكن ذكْر الصاحبة في هذه الآية لم يُبْق في معنى الفصيلة إلا الوجه الذي ذكرناه».
