Al-Anbiya Ayah 37

اللَّهَ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ،وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْمَعَاصِيَ بِغَيْرِ قُوَّةِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ،وَ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ النَّارَ». يَعْنِي بِالْخَيْرِ وَ الشَّرِّ: اَلصِّحَّةَ وَ الْمَرَضَ، وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: وَ نَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَ الْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً.

Translation: All of it is by Allah’s authority; and whoever claims that acts of disobedience occur without the power of Allah has lied against Allah. And whoever lies against Allah, Allah will enter him into the Fire. By “good” and “evil” is meant health and sickness, and that is His saying, Mighty and Majestic: “and We try you by evil and good by way of trial.”

Qur’an 21:35

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

M. H. Shakir: Every soul must taste of death, and We try you by evil and good by way of trial; and to Us you shall be returned.

99-/7142 _3- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ: رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): «أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ) مَرِضَ، فَعَادَهُ إِخْوَانُهُ، فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ، يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ فَقَالَ: بِشَرٍّ. فَقَالُوا: مَا هَذَا كَلاَمَ مِثْلِكَ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: وَ نَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَ الْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً فَالْخَيْرُ: اَلصِّحَّةُ وَ الْغِنَى، وَ الشَّرُّ: اَلْمَرَضُ وَ الْفَقْرُ».

99-/7142 _3- al-Tabrisi: It is narrated from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him): When the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) fell ill, his brothers visited him and said, “How do you find yourself, O Commander of the Faithful?” He replied, “In evil.” They said, “Such speech is not like yours.” He said, “Indeed Allah, Exalted is He, says: ‘and We try you by evil and good by way of trial.’ So good is health and wealth, and evil is sickness and poverty.”

Qur’an 21:35

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَنَبْلُوكُمْ بِالشَّرِّ وَالْخَيْرِ فِتْنَةً وَإِلَيْنَا تُرْجَعُونَ

M. H. Shakir: Every soul must taste of death, and We try you by evil and good by way of trial; and to Us you shall be returned.

قوله تعالى:

خُلِقَ الْإِنْسٰانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيٰاتِي فَلاٰ تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ [37]

Qur’an 21:37

خُلِقَ الْإِنسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ سَأُرِيكُمْ آيَاتِي فَلَا تَسْتَعْجِلُونِ

M. H. Shakir: Man is created of haste; I will show to you My signs, therefore do not ask Me to hasten them.

99-/7143 _1- علي بن إبراهيم، قال: لما أجرى اللّه عزّ و جلّ في آدم روحه من قدميه فبلغت ركبتيه، أراد أن يقوم فلم يقدر، فقال عزّ و جلّ: خُلِقَ الْإِنْسٰانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ.

99-/7143 _1- ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim said: When Allah, Mighty and Majestic, caused Adam’s spirit to flow into him from his feet and it reached his knees, he wanted to stand up but could not. So He, Mighty and Majestic, said: “Man is created of haste.”

99-/7144 _2- الطَّبْرِسِيُّ: هُوَ آدَمُ، هَمَّ بِالْوُثُوبِ، قَالَ: ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ).

99-/7144 _2- al-Tabrisi: It is Adam—he attempted to leap up. He said this from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him).

و تقدم حديث هشام عن أبي عبدِ اللّه(عليه السلام) في هذا المعنى في قوله تعالى: وَ كٰانَ الْإِنْسٰانُ عَجُولاً. [1]

Translation: And the report of Hisham from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) on this meaning has preceded under His saying, the Exalted: “And man is ever hasty.” [1]

Qur’an 17:11

وَيَدْعُ الْإِنسَانُ بِالشَّرِّ دُعَاءَهُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَكَانَ الْإِنسَانُ عَجُولًا

M. H. Shakir: And man prays for evil as he ought to pray for good, and man is ever hasty.

قوله تعالى:

أَ فَلاٰ يَرَوْنَ أَنّٰا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهٰا مِنْ أَطْرٰافِهٰا [44]

Qur’an 21:44

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَٰؤُلَاءِ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعُمُرُ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِي الْأَرْضَ نَنْقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَا أَفَهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ

M. H. Shakir: Nay, We gave provision to these and their fathers until life prolonged for them. Do they not then see that We are visiting the land, curtailing it of its sides? Shall they then prevail?

تقدمت الروايات في معنى الآية في سورة الرعد [2].

Translation: The narrations concerning the meaning of the verse have preceded in Surah al-Ra‘d. [2]

قوله تعالى:

وَ لَئِنْ مَسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِنْ عَذٰابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يٰا وَيْلَنٰا إِنّٰا كُنّٰا ظٰالِمِينَ*

Qur’an 21:46

وَلَئِن مَّسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَالِمِينَ

M. H. Shakir: And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they would certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust.
