Commentary on 88:23
﴿إلا﴾: أداة استثناء حرف مبني على السكون.
﴿من﴾: اسم موصول مبني على السكون في محل نصب مستثنى من مفعول ﴿فذكر﴾، أو من الهاء في ﴿عليهم﴾، أو الاستثناء منقطع، و﴿إلا﴾ بمعنى لكن أُلغي عملها، و﴿من﴾ اسم موصول مبني على السكون في محل رفع مبتدأ، خبره جملة ﴿فيعذبه﴾.
﴿تولى﴾: فعل ماض مبني على الفتح المقدر، والفاعل ضمير مستتر تقديره: هو، وجملة ﴿تولى﴾ صلة الموصول لا محل لها من الإعراب.
﴿وكفر﴾: الواو حرف عطف مبني على الفتح، وكفر فعل ماض مبني على الفتح، والفاعل ضمير مستتر تقديره: هو، وجملة ﴿كفر﴾ عطف على ﴿تولى﴾ لا محل لها من الإعراب، وعلى كون الاستثناء منقطعًا تكون جملة ﴿إلا من تولى وكفر﴾ في محل نصب.
