Tafsir

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

An-Nahl 16:59

Word by word

يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓ ۚ أَيُمْسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِى ٱلتُّرَابِ ۗ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

( يتوارى من القوم ) أي : يكره أن يراه الناس ( من سوء ما بشر به أيمسكه على هون أم يدسه في التراب ) أي : إن أبقاها أبقاها مهانة لا يورثها ، ولا يعتني بها ، ويفضل أولاده الذكور عليها ، ( أم يدسه في التراب ) أي : يئدها : وهو : أن يدفنها فيه حية ، كما كانوا يصنعون في الجاهلية ، أفمن يكرهونه هذه الكراهة ويأنفون لأنفسهم عنه يجعلونه لله ؟ ! ( ألا ساء ما يحكمون ) أي : بئس ما قالوا ، وبئس ما قسموا ، وبئس ما نسبوا إليه ، كما قال تعالى : ( وإذا بشر أحدهم بما ضرب للرحمن مثلا ظل وجهه مسودا وهو كظيم ) [ الزخرف : 17 ]
