Tafsir al-SadiAbd al-Rahman al-Sadi’

of the disbelievers, or in their turning back in rage, having gained nothing good—just as He turned them back on the Day of the Trench. After they had come firmly resolved and confident of their power, Allah sent them back in their rage, disappointed.

(128) “You have no say in the matter: He may either accept their repentance or punish them, for they are wrongdoers.” When the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—was wounded at Uhud, his incisor was broken, and his head was gashed, he began saying, “How can a people prosper when they have wounded the face of their Prophet and broken his incisor?” Allah the Exalted then revealed this verse, making clear that the matter belongs entirely to Allah and that the Messenger—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—has no say in it, for he is one of Allah’s servants. All are subject to servitude to their Lord: they are governed and do not govern.

As for those against whom you supplicated, O Messenger, or whose success and guidance you deemed unlikely, Allah may, if He wills, accept their repentance and enable them to enter Islam. Indeed, He did so, for Allah guided most of them and they embraced Islam. Or, if He wills, He may punish them, for they are wrongdoers who deserve Allah’s punishment and torment.

(129) “To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth. He forgives whomever He wills and punishes whomever He wills. Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” The Exalted states that He alone directs all affairs in the upper and lower realms. He accepts the repentance of whomever He wills and forgives him, and He forsakes whomever He wills and punishes him.

“Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” Among His essential attributes are perfect forgiveness and mercy, and the effects they entail are manifest in creation and command. He forgives those who repent and has mercy on those who undertake the means that bring about mercy. The Exalted says, “Obey Allah and the Messenger so that you may receive mercy.”

Here ends the first volume of Taysīr al-Rahīm al-Rahmān fī Tafsīr al-Qurān (Facilitation from the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, in the Exegesis of the Quran), written in the hand of its author, Abd al-Rahmān al-Nāsir ibn Sadī, on 9 Rabī al-Awwal 1343. May Allah forgive him, his parents, and all Muslims. May Allah bless Muhammad, his family, and his Companions and grant them peace. It is followed by the second volume, which begins: “O you who believe, do not consume usury.”

من الكفار، أو ينقلبوا بغيظهم، لم ينالوا خيرا، كما أرجعهم يوم الخندق، بعدما كانوا قد أتوا على حرد قادرين، أرجعهم الله بغيظهم خائبين. ﴿١٢٨﴾ ﴿لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَ﴾ لما أصيب ﷺ يوم "أحد" وكسرت رباعيته، وشج في رأسه، جعل يقول: (كيف يفلح قوم، شجوا وجه نبيهم، وكسروا رباعيته) ، فأنزل الله تعالى هذه الآية، وبين أن الأمر كله لله، وأن الرسول ﷺ ليس له من الأمر شيء، لأنه عبد من عبيد الله، والجميع تحت عبودية ربهم، مدبَّرون لا مدبِّرون. وهؤلاء الذين دعوت عليهم، أيها الرسول، أو استبعدت فلاحهم وهدايتهم، إن شاء الله تاب عليهم، ووفقهم للدخول في الإسلام، وقد فعل، فإن أكثر أولئك هداهم الله فأسلموا. وإن شاء عذبهم، فإنهم ظالمون، مستحقون لعقوبات الله وعذابه. ﴿١٢٩﴾ ﴿وَلِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾ يخبر تعالى، أنه هو المتصرف في العالم العلوي والسفلي، وأنه يتوب على من يشاء، فيغفر له، ويخذل من يشاء، فيعذبه. ﴿وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾ فمن صفته اللازمة، كمال المغفرة والرحمة، ووجود مقتضياتهما في الخلق والأمر، يغفر للتائبين، ويرحم من قام بالأسباب الموجبة للرحمة، قال تعالى: ﴿وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ﴾ تم الجزء المجلد الأول من تيسير الرحيم الرحمن في تفسير القرآن بخط مؤلفه عبد الرحمن الناصر بن سعدي ٩ ربيع أول ١٣٤٣ غفر الله له ولوالديه وجميع المسلمين وصلى الله على محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم ويليه المجلد الثاني أوله ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَأْكُلُوا الرِّبَا﴾
