Commentary on 86:1
القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ (1)
أقسم ربنا بالسماء وبالطارق الذي يطرق ليلا من النجوم المضيئة، ويخفى نهارًا، وكل ما جاء ليلا فقد طرق.
وبنحو الذي قلنا في ذلك قال أهل التأويل.
* ذكر من قال ذلك:
حدثني محمد بن سعد، قال: ثني أبي، قال: ثني عمي، قال: ثني أبي، عن أبيه، عن ابن عباس ( وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ ) قال: السماء وما يطرق فيها .
حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة ( وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ ) قال: طارق يطرق بليل، ويخفى بالنهار .
حدثنا ابن عبد الأعلى، قال: ثنا ابن ثور، عن معمر، عن قتادة، في قوله: ( وَالطَّارِقِ ) قال: ظهور النجوم، يقول: يطرقك ليلا .
حُدثت عن الحسين، قال: سمعت أبا معاذ يقول: ثنا عبيد، قال: سمعت الضحاك يقول في قوله: ( الطَّارِقِ ) النجم .
