Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Yunus 10:19

Word by word

وَمَا كَانَ ٱلنَّاسُ إِلَّآ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً فَٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ ۚ وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَقُضِىَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِيمَا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

And mankind was not but one community [united in religion], but [then] they differed. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it would have been judged between them [immediately] concerning that over which they differ.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم أخبر تعالى أن هذا الشرك حادث في الناس ، كائن بعد أن لم يكن ، وأن الناس كلهم كانوا على دين واحد ، وهو الإسلام ؛ قال ابن عباس : كان بين آدم ونوح عشرة قرون ، كلهم على الإسلام ، ثم وقع الاختلاف بين الناس ، وعبدت الأصنام والأنداد والأوثان ، فبعث الله الرسل بآياته وبيناته وحججه البالغة وبراهينه الدامغة ، ( ليهلك من هلك عن بينة ويحيا من حي عن بينة ) [ الأنفال : 42 ] .وقوله : ( ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لقضي بينهم فيما فيه يختلفون ) أي : لولا ما تقدم من الله تعالى أنه لا يعذب أحدا إلا بعد قيام الحجة عليه ؛ وأنه قد أجل الخلق إلى أجل معدود لقضى بينهم فيما فيه اختلفوا ، فأسعد المؤمنين ، وأعنت الكافرين .
