59.3 (About the) Stars

٥٩۔٣ بَابٌ في النُّجُومِ

[Machine] "And Qatadah said: 'And We have certainly adorned the nearest heaven with stars and have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils and have prepared for them the punishment of the Blaze. And for those who have disbelieved in their Lord is the punishment of Hell, and wretched is the destination. When they are thrown into it, they hear from it a [dreadful] inhaling while it boils up. It almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?" They will say," Yes, a warner had come to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not sent down anything. You are not but in great error.'" And they will say, "If only we had been listening or reasoning, we would not be among the companions of the Blaze."'"

وَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ: {وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ} خَلَقَ هَذِهِ النُّجُومَ لِثَلاَثٍ، جَعَلَهَا زِينَةً لِلسَّمَاءِ، وَرُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ، وَعَلاَمَاتٍ يُهْتَدَى بِهَا، فَمَنْ تَأَوَّلَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ أَخْطَأَ وَأَضَاعَ نَصِيبَهُ، وَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لاَ عِلْمَ لَهُ بِهِ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {هَشِيمًا} مُتَغَيِّرًا. وَالأَبُّ مَا يَأْكُلُ الأَنْعَامُ الأَنَامُ الْخَلْقُ {بَرْزَخٌ} حَاجِبٌ. وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: {أَلْفَافًا} مُلْتَفَّةً. وَالْغُلْبُ الْمُلْتَفَّةُ {فِرَاشًا} مِهَادًا كَقَوْلِهِ: {وَلَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ}، {نَكِدًا} قَلِيلاً.
