Commentary on 84:10
القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ (10)
يقول تعالى ذكره: وأما من أعطي كتابه منكم أيها الناس يومئذ وراء ظهره، وذلك أن جعل يده اليمنى إلى عنقه وجعل الشمال من يديه وراء ظهره، فيتناول كتابه بشماله من وراء ظهره، ولذلك وصفهم جلَّ ثناؤه أحيانًا أنهم يؤتون كتبهم بشمائلهم، وأحيانًا أنهم يؤتونها من وراء ظهورهم.
وبنحو الذي قلنا في ذلك أهل التأويل.
* ذكر من قال ذلك:
حدثني محمد بن عمرو، قال: ثنا أبو عاصم، قال: ثنا عيسى؛ وحدثني الحارث، قال: ثنا الحسن، قال: ثنا ورقاء، جميعا، عن ابن أبي نجيح، عن مجاهد، قوله: ( وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِيَ كِتَابَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ ) قال: يجعل يده من وراء ظهره.
