Commentary on 92:20
وعلى هذا التأويل الذي ذكرناه عن هؤلاء، ينبغي أن يكون قوله: ( إِلا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الأعْلَى ) نصبا على الاستثناء من معنى قوله: ( وَمَا لأحَدٍ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تُجْزَى ) لأن معنى الكلام: وما يؤتي الذي يؤتي من ماله ملتمسا من أحد ثوابه، إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه. وجائز أن يكون نصبه على مخالفة ما بعد إلا ما قبلها، كما قال النابغة:
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
.... وَمــا بــالرَّبْعِ مِــنْ أحَــدِ
إلا أَوَارِيَّ لأيًـــا مـــا أُبَيِّنُهــا
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... (3)
