60.43 The Statement of Allah Taa'la: "(This is) a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His slave Zakariya (Zachariah)"
٦٠۔٤٣ بَابُ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {ذِكْرُ رَحْمَةِ رَبِّكَ عَبْدَهُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ إِذْ نَادَى رَبَّهُ نِدَاءً خَفِيًّا قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَهَنَ الْعَظْمُ مِنِّي وَاشْتَعَلَ الرَّأْسُ شَيْبًا} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {لَمْ نَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا}
[Machine] Ibn Abbas said as an example, it is said that "reconciliation is pleasing, disease is pleasing, strength is pleasing, and disobedience is displeasing." From his statement: "O Lord, how can I have a son?" to his statement: "three consecutive nights equally". It is also said correctly, "So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allah] in the morning and afternoon." "So he signaled" he pointed (to them) saying, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." To his statement, "And (make him) a messenger to the Children of Israel" "gentle" (kind) and barren, male and female, are equal.
قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مِثْلاً. يُقَالُ رَضِيًّا مَرْضِيًّا عُتِيًّا عَصِيًّا يَعْتُو {قَالَ رَبِّ أَنَّى يَكُونُ لِي غُلاَمٌ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ سَوِيًّا} وَيُقَالُ صَحِيحًا، {فَخَرَجَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ مِنَ الْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَى إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ سَبِّحُوا بُكْرَةً وَعَشِيًّا}، {فَأَوْحَى} فَأَشَارَ {يَا يَحْيَى خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {وَيَوْمَ يُبْعَثُ حَيًّا}، {حَفِيًّا} لَطِيفًا {عَاقِرًا} الذَّكَرُ وَالأُنْثَى سَوَاءٌ.
