2.108 Abraham: Abraham argues about his Lord with Nimrod.

٢۔١٠٨ مقطع في سُورَةُ البَقَرَة

quran:2:258

Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord ˹merely˺ because Allah had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed ˹by astonishment˺, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.  

Have you not seen him who disputed with Abraham, concerning his Lord, because of the fact, that God had given him the kingship?, that is, his arrogance towards this very grace of God: this was Nimrod (Nimrūd). When (idh is a substitution for hājja, ‘disputed’) Abraham, in response to the other’s question, ‘Who is this Lord of yours to whom you are calling us?’, said: ‘My Lord is He who gives life, and makes to die’, the One that creates life and death in bodies; he ˹Nimrod˺ said, ‘I give life, by sparing, and make to die’, by killing. He then had two men brought before him, killed one and spared the other. When Abraham realised that this man was a fool, Abraham, resorting to a more sophisticated argument, said: ‘God brings the sun from the east; so bring, you, it from the west.’ Then the disbeliever was confused, perplexed and amazed; and God guides not the folk who do evil, disbelieving, to the art of argument.
القرآن:٢:٢٥٨

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِي حَاجَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي رَبِّهِ أَنْ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ إِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ قَالَ أَنَا أُحْيِي وَأُمِيتُ ۖ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ  

{ألم ترَ إلى الذي حَاًجَّ} جادل {إبراهيم في ربّه} ل {أن آتاه الله الملك} أي حمله بطره بنعمة الله على ذلك وهو نمرود {إذ} بدل من حاج {قال إبراهيم} لما قال له من ربُّك الذي تدعونا إليه: {ربي الذي يحيي ويميت} أي يخلق الحياة والموت في الأجساد {قال} هو {أنا أحيي وأميت} بالقتل والعفو عنه ودعا برجلين فقتل أحدهما وترك الآخر فلما رآه غبيا {قال إبراهيم} منتقلا إلى حجة أوضح منها {فإن الله يأتي بالشمس من المشرق فأت بها} أنت {من المغرب فَبُهت الذي كفر} تحيَّر ودُهش {والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين} بالكفر إلى محجَّة الاحتجاج.
