Tafsir

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

Al-Isra 17:83

Word by word

وَإِذَآ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَى ٱلْإِنسَـٰنِ أَعْرَضَ وَنَـَٔا بِجَانِبِهِۦ ۖ وَإِذَا مَسَّهُ ٱلشَّرُّ كَانَ يَـُٔوسًا

And when We bestow favor upon man [i.e., the disbeliever], he turns away and distances himself; and when evil touches him, he is ever despairing.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى عن نقص الإنسان من حيث هو ، إلا من عصم الله تعالى في حالتي سرائه وضرائه ، بأنه إذا أنعم الله عليه بمال وعافية ، وفتح ورزق ونصر ، ونال ما يريد ، أعرض عن طاعة الله وعبادته ونأى بجانبه .قال مجاهد : بعد عنا .قلت : وهذا كقوله تعالى : ( فلما كشفنا عنه ضره مر كأن لم يدعنا إلى ضر مسه ) [ يونس : 12 ] ، وقوله ) فلما نجاكم إلى البر أعرضتم ) [ الإسراء : 67 ] .وبأنه إذا مسه الشر - وهو المصائب والحوادث والنوائب - ( كان يئوسا ) أي : قنط أن يعود يحصل له بعد ذلك خير ، كما قال تعالى : ( ولئن أذقناه نعماء بعد ضراء مسته ليقولن ذهب السيئات عني إنه لفرح فخور إلا الذين صبروا وعملوا الصالحات أولئك لهم مغفرة وأجر كبير ) [ هود : 10 ، 11 ] .
