Tafsir

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

Ar-Ra'd 13:17

Word by word

أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌۢ بِقَدَرِهَا فَٱحْتَمَلَ ٱلسَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا ۚ وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلنَّارِ ٱبْتِغَآءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَـٰعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱلْبَـٰطِلَ ۚ فَأَمَّا ٱلزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَآءً ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَضْرِبُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْأَمْثَالَ

He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allāh presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allāh present examples.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ثم ضرب الله سبحانه مثلا للحق والباطل بماء أنزله من السماء، فجَرَت به أودية الأرض بقدر صغرها وكبرها، فحمل السيل غثاء طافيًا فوقه لا نفع فيه. وضرب مثلا آخر: هو المعادن يوقِدون عليها النار لصهرها طلبًا للزينة كما في الذهب والفضة، أو طلبًا لمنافع ينتفعون بها كما في النحاس، فيخرج منها خبثها مما لا فائدة فيه كالذي كان مع الماء، بمثل هذا يضرب الله المثل للحق والباطل: فالباطل كغثاء الماء يتلاشى أو يُرْمى إذ لا فائدة منه، والحق كالماء الصافي، والمعادن النقية تبقى في الأرض للانتفاع بها، كما بيَّن لكم هذه الأمثال، كذلك يضربها للناس; ليتضح الحق من الباطل والهدى من الضلال.
