Tafsir

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

Al-Kahf 18:6

Word by word

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَـٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muḥammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مسليا رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم في حزنه على المشركين ، لتركهم الإيمان وبعدهم عنه ، كما قال تعالى : ( فلا تذهب نفسك عليهم حسرات ) [ فاطر : 8 ] ، وقال ) ولا تحزن عليهم ) [ النحل : 127 ] ، وقال ( لعلك باخع نفسك ألا يكونوا مؤمنين ) [ الشعراء : 3 ]باخع : أي مهلك نفسك بحزنك عليهم ؛ ولهذا قال ( فلعلك باخع نفسك على آثارهم إن لم يؤمنوا بهذا الحديث ) يعني القرآن ) أسفا ) يقول : لا تهلك نفسك أسفا .قال قتادة : قاتل نفسك غضبا وحزنا عليهم . وقال مجاهد : جزعا . والمعنى متقارب ، أي : لا تأسف عليهم ، بل أبلغهم رسالة الله ، فمن اهتدى فلنفسه ، ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها ، فلا تذهب نفسك عليهم حسرات .
